Norwell, Mass. (June 10, 2003) - Beacon Partners introduces the Learn Center, an exciting e-learning opportunity for healthcare organizations to develop and provide customized training to staff and physicians. The Health Insurance Portability Accountability ACT of 1996 (HIPAA) mandates that all covered entities provide training to each member of its workforce, including employees, volunteers, students, physicians and vendors who may have access to protected health information (PHI). This innovative learning tool allows organizations to combine classroom training with online functionality to deliver a comprehensive training program targeted to specific levels of its organization.
"Existing HIPAA content provides a foundation of learning for every member of your workforce," says Mitchell Paine, Vice President of Consulting Services. "Modules cover all three components of the HIPAA regulations: privacy, security and TCI. Links to your organizations unique policies and procedures allow you to tie HIPAA concepts to your actual implementation plan. Role-specific training can be developed to support the requirements of each job function. New employee orientation can also be presented in this user friendly and interactive format."
But the Beacon Learn Center is not just for HIPAA. This is a complete education solution that can be used to support training in a wide variety of areas including patient safety, reduction of medical errors, JCAHO, general policies and procedures, information system installations and upgrades, procedures for billing and collection, and staff development such as writing, communication and patient satisfaction. Continues Paine, "Creative use of this tool will allow you to customize training for almost every area in your organization."
Managers and supervisors now have a powerful tool at their desktop to monitor employees' completion of assigned courses and tasks. Users enroll online for classes and are accepted in the session based on space availability and job responsibility. Grade books store test results permanently in one easy-to-find location.
