EPEAT/HCPro and HealthStream Partner to Offer HIPAA Curriculum
EPEAT/HCPro and HealthStream Partner to Offer HIPAA Curriculum
Sep 26, 2001
Signed into law on August 21, 1996, HIPAA represents a steep learning curve for all hospital employees in order to understand their responsibility in protecting patient information. The Act is a regulatory mandate that requires all hospital employees to understand the specifications of this new regulation. "For HealthStream, the addition of HCPro's cutting-edge HIPAA training curriculum further enhances our ability to offer e-learning solutions to our 1200+ hospital customer base," said Michael Pote, senior vice president, HealthStream.
HCPro also plans to license additional courseware on corporate compliance and pain management to HealthStream. The new online courses, along with the HIPAA training curriculum, will be available to HealthStream's national network of healthcare organizations using its ASP-based Healthcare Learning Center and its installed learning management system.
"This new partnership with HealthStream will allow HCPro to expand our markets, and allow us to offer quality, premium online content to a large number of healthcare professionals that need this information to do their jobs effectively," said Bruce Guzowski, HCPro president and chief executive officer.
