THE HIPAA TRAINING INITIATIVE IN NEVADA.
LAS VEGAS, NV Aug 20, 2002 - New Horizons Computer Learning Center of Las Vegas, a leading provider of industry certified training in Nevada, today endorsed the HIPAA Academy program and plans to deliver the acclaimed HIPAA Academy Professional and Administrator awareness training.
"The HIPAA Academy recognizes the impact of the HIPAA Administrative Simplification component of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Due to the severity of HIPAA, the HIPAA Academy has gone to great lengths and taken the right steps to provide the best possible training and give our students the strength and knowledge to create a plan and take action" said Allen Nguyen, President of the HIPAA Academy. "Knowing how and where to get started is just as important as learning about HIPAA and how it affects you."
The HIPAA Academy structure is unique in that it delivers baseline HIPAA knowledge and competence in the core skills that are broadly required for Healthcare Executives, Senior Clinicians, Chief Information Officers, Lawyers, Compliance Officers, Privacy and Security Officials, Quality Assurance and Risk Managers, Insurance Executives, Physicians and Office Managers, Pharmaceutical Company Executives, and Clinical Trial Organization Professionals.
Business professionals in the health care and insurance industries as well as IT professionals would find the HIPAA Academy programs as the critical first step for acquiring HIPAA knowledge and skills to participate as valuable members of HIPAA compliance teams within organizations.
Bill Daniels, General Manager of New Horizons said, "Our relationship with the HIPAA Academy will provide health care related organizations and personnel the ability to gain information necessary to get their businesses HIPAA compliant and to meet the deadlines imposed by the Federal Government."
The HIPAA Professional exam validates knowledge and skills in the core areas of HIPAA Administrative Simplification legislation, Transactions and Code Sets Requirements, Privacy Requirements and Security Requirements. The HIPAA Administrator exam validates knowledge and skills of end users that are responsible for delivery and support of health care services and administration.
Proctored exams for Certified HIPAA Professional and Certified HIPAA Administrator will be available across hundreds of testing centers in the United States in July 2002.
