The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is having a major impact on the healthcare community. Complex and often overwhelming, the evolving legislation is defining new requirements for security, privacy and electronic transactions. These new rules will apply to all healthcare encounters-including every interaction between you, your colleagues, and your patients. Right now, you need to begin thinking about how your dental practice will address HIPAA requirements and achieve compliance in the required timeframe.
Implementing the required employee HIPAA training is one of the most arduous tasks of achieving compliance. You will be held accountable for educating your staff and professional colleagues in your office on all the compliance regulations of HIPAA.
DenTrek and HIPAA e-College are dedicated to helping organizations and individuals understand and address HIPAA as it relates to the dental professional. We recognize that health care providers do not have the time to develop and implement an effective HIPAA training curriculum.
That's why DenTrek, through a partnership with HIPAA e-College, is currently offering this comprehensive online training program. This program provides you and your office staff a flexible and affordable training solution toward fulfilling the required HIPAA-training.
All our HIPAA e-learning courses are developed, edited and reviewed by the best and brightest HIPAA experts in the industry. Our test questions are designed to maximize retention of all the course material presented.
The layout, design and graphical flow of all screens are created by professional instructional designers, who have taught and created e-learning courses for many years.
However, HIPAA is a living and changing body of law, much of it yet to be created. In addition, other privacy and security laws either complement or, in some case, supercede HIPAA.
