The Certified HIPAA Professional, Certified HIPAA
Security Specialist and the Certified HIPAA Administrator
Exams exams are aimed at helping healthcare organizations
and professionals to improve knowledge, improve operations,
and most of all validate skills of professionals engaged
in Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) compliance solutions.
HIPAA is transforming the healthcare industry in the
areas of transactions, identifiers, privacy and security.
"The HIPAA legislation is the catalyst for massive transformation
in the healthcare industry. Its immediate impact is
the need for skilled professionals that understand HIPAA
compliance requirements and can assist organizations
with their HIPAA initiatives," said Allen Nguyen, HIPAA
Academy President.
You can choose studying for the exam by using either
of the following options:
The HIPAA Professional Exam validates knowledge and
skills in the core areas of HIPAA Administrative Simplification
legislation, Transactions and Code Sets Requirements,
Privacy Requirements and Security Requirements. The
Certified HIPAA Security Specialist Exam validates skills
in the specific security domains defined by the legislation
including administration procedures, physical safeguards,
technical security services, technical security mechanisms
and electronic signatures.
The HIPAA Administrator Exam validates knowledge and
skills of end users that are responsible for the delivery
and support of healthcare services and administration.
"The HIPAA Academy certification program is a prescription
for protecting public health and healthcare information,"
said Michael Brannick, Prometric President and Chief
Executive Officer. "Given the scale and scope of the
HIPAA act, and the sheer numbers of professionals who
need to understand and comply with it, Prometric and
other Thomson learning businesses will play a key role
in dispensing this important healthcare initiative."
Business professionals in the healthcare and insurance
industries as well as IT professionals are expected
to find the HIPAA Academy Certification Exams the critical
first steps for acquiring the knowledge and skills they
need to participate more fully as valuable members of
the HIPAA compliance teams within their respective organizations.
