Good suggestion, you don't have to reinvent the wheel. I am in a unique situation that doesn't quite fit into a medical mold, per se. The module that I am creating is a Privacy Awareness (not HIPAA) training module for the Department of Human Services. We are not a functioning healthcare component of our parent hybrid entity (the county government), but are business associates of many covered entities. As of the modifications to the final rule that came out on August 14th, our position has changed dramatically. So we are brushing up on our privacy awareness as good faith for our BAs.
The module is going to contain 4 sections: An introduction that talks about HIPAA and the importance of privacy and confidentiality, a section that cites the Colorado (insert your state here) revised statutes on confidentiality and how to apply them in a practical manner in our agency, a section on how to physically secure your workstation, and a final section on electronic privacy.

These can be either internet or intranet based or both. The same course can also be on CD for those that don't have access to the LAN or Web. There are some really good, reasonably priced training modules out there for online training. You can internally develop or hire someone to develop the course content for you and the course will be tailored to meet the individual entity's needs, with its own branding. Many of these have capabilities to test the individuals, produce reports such as to who took the course, test scores, flag for next testing dates and produce certificates for passing the course etc. Lin Quinkert HIPAA Practice Manager GovConnect A Subsidiary of govONE Solutions 33 Bellewood Ct.

We are going to offer seminar-style 1-2 hour awareness courses, the same course on several different dates in order to accommodate everyone's schedules. This was the easy part. The main concern that we had was how to train new employees. I am creating a computer-based training module for that purpose. The new employee will complete the online course at their desk. When they are finished, the module will generate an email to our personnel analyst stating that the employee has completed the course. I think these solutions could work regardless of the size of your entity. Good Luck! Kelli Knuckles HIPAA Privacy Officer Mesa County Government >>> "Noel, Linda A." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/19/02 06:18AM >>> We are a large hospital system with 10,000 plus employees. We are currently evaluating the best way to meet the HIPAA requirements for training. We have already engaged in ongoing awareness training, newsletters, etc. but are now considering methods for the required training. Is anyone in a large CE be willing to share what techniques they are planning to use for the mandatory training?
