HIPAA COMPLIANCE – HURLEY CAN HELP!

Two major components of HIPAA compliance for your business include training of your workforce and written HIPAA Policies & Procedures (P&Ps).  Hurley has products that are easy to use and can help you succeed with achieving and maintaining these HIPAA compliance requirements for your organization.  Unlike so many other HIPAA products available on the market, all of these products are specific for medical transcription (MT) services and for MT independent contractors.

WORKFORCE TRAINING:  There are 5 different training toolkits available for purchase; a description of each is below.  Each training toolkit consists of a PowerPoint file with audio clips inserted throughout the presentation, a test on the material presented, the answer key for the test, a certificate for proof of training, a PDF file of the PowerPoint slides for quick reference, instructions for how to use these items, and if needed a folder with Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer software for those who do not have PowerPoint software.  The training toolkits are priced so that you can use them for all of your workforce members; there is no per person license fee or use fee.  Once you buy a product you have unlimited use of it within your organization. You are only restricted from copying it and/or sharing it with others outside of your organization.  Each training toolkit product has been preapproved by AHDI for continuing education (CE) credits.
