As the importance of this HIPAA act mounted, it was made mandatory for all Health related organizations & their business associates to ensure HIPAA compliance and ensure that the rules governing this act are followed without fail. To guarantee that the potential candidates are well educated and certified in HIPAA, Hipaatraining.net comes up with an amazing idea of increasing knowledge and boosting their confidence by introducing the concept of practice test sessions before taking up the final assessment.
Waukee, IA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/31/2011 -- Supremus Group comes up with the concept of “Practice test” to drill the candidates to gain more knowledge about the subject and further prepare them for the final certification test.
HIPAA or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act was enacted in 1996 by the US Government to secure Patient Health Information. There are two titles of this federal law, Title I that that provides complete protection to the patients and their families when they change or lose their employment and Title II that requires strict rules to regulate the process of electronic health transactions between the employers, health insurances and providers. This act encouraged electronic transactions thereby improving the standards of entire healthcare system in US.
What is CHPE
Certified HIPAA Private Expert (CHPE) is a professionally endorsed tutorial for businesses and individuals that addresses the Privacy facets of the HIPAA compliance rules and regulations. This training and certification course educates one on HIPAA privacy rules at a superior or expert level. This is essentially for those who are already acquainted with the general HIPAA rules and want to get to know more about it at a higher level to suit their job role. All the add ons made during the HITECH ARRA act of 2009 related to the HIPAA privacy rules are included in this updated training course.
Our Training Methodologies
To improve its availability and accessibility to one and all interested in this certification course, we have invented three methods of training - first one being instructor-led classroom training where a crowd of candidates are coached by our expert mentor (best suited for those who enjoy a classroom atmosphere and prefer learning in a group). Secondly, the instructor-led online training where a mentor coaches a particular candidate over the internet with the help of online tools and voice recordings (best suited for those who opt to take up the program singly at their convenience). And thirdly, the anytime online training in which there is no instructor or a live guide but one can possibly take up the online course anytime of their comfort (best suited for those who don't have much time and wish to complete it during their free time).
Final assessment exam and practice tests
Post completion of the training using any one of our above training methods, one has to be validated to see they are certificate worthy or not. This is done with the help of our mandatory final online exam that of 36 multiple choice questions (three questions per chapter, five minutes per chapter to answer the questions). One has to hit at least 70% to be officially CHPE certified. We would like to see our candidates getting through this as soon as possible without failures. For this, there is an interim section called the "Practice session" which has questions similar to those in the final test. There 120 questions, all multiple choice and will help you to understand the subject better. This Practice test is valid for 6 months. It will be very helpful if one goes through a few of these to build confidence to face the final test.
In a nutshell, taking up a few practice tests will definitely increase the subject knowledge so as to get the certificate without too much of issues.
