About HIPAA OnLine

instructional design brings fact-filled information through a multi- media CD product to the clinical office computer in a time- frame that easily fits into a demanding schedule. During the course we examine the goals of a data security program, look at various security strategies, review HIPAA standards, and use hands-on materials to help clinical practices evaluate their HIPAA state-of-readiness.

Our CD product is an easy way to train a large number of people in a short amount of time.

The product is also more economical than sending employees to conferences….theres no travel or per diem expenses or lost time away from work. Another key advantage is that all materials are on one CD product. No more paper shuffling through folders, handouts or binders.
