for covered entities under HIPAA.
- Covered entities under HIPAA must provide training to employees
regarding the privacy, confidentiality, and security of health
care information by April 14, 2003 (small health plans April

interactive software program that goes beyond teaching the basics
of HIPAA and helps employees learn how to apply HIPAA to their
daily job.

prepare
students in the allied health care programs. Our discovery-based learning provides students with another
effective weapon in their resume's arsenal as they prepare to enter the medical job market arena.
