I would like to take this time to thank Tom Eilers
for his outstanding efforts in a meeting we set
up with him and the EMS staff.
Tom went out of his way to attend this meeting and
help us answer some of the questions the EMS people
had. I would like to request Tom be the instructor

session.”

only a vague idea of the implications and scope
of HIPAA. Now I realize how much work is left to
be done to get into compliance and how this is going
to touch every aspect of the health care industry."

"The Certified HIPAA Professional course is
one of the best, if not the best, courses on the
down and dirty of HIPAA. I highly recommend this
course as a "Train the Trainer" for health
care organizations looking to comply with current
and pending requirements. This course is going to
help me immensely in architecting solutions for
organizations to comply with Title 2 requirements."

"The HIPAA Academy training course is comprehensive
and practical. I walked away from this course with
a very clear understanding of the Administrative
Simplification components of HIPAA. This course
allowed me to get my arms around some very complicated
requirements and helped me piece the requirements
together. I was surprised at how helpful it was
because I had a fairly comprehensive understanding
to HIPAA prior to taking the course. I highly recommend
it to anyone who will be involved with HIPAA compliance,
in fact, anyone who is involved with HIPAA would
be foolish for not taking this course."
Teri Ann Lawyer, HIPAA Attorney

needed to become HIPAA Compliant. The most impressive
aspect of the course is the amount of information
covered in such a short period of time. I had no

all the bases."

All of us at New Horizons Computer Learning Center
wanted to commend you on an excellent HIPAA session
yesterday. We appreciate you coming in from Chicago
for us. As we committed, our turn out was strong
and attendee involvement was high. Our sales team
very encouraged by the amount of interest that was
generated in such a short amount of time. Out of
the forty plus registrants around thirty arrived
and many of these are preparing for future classes.
Many of the students have commented on the quality
of the HIPAA Academy material and the professional
manner in which the subjects matter was delivered.
Your ability to answer questions thoroughly and
quickly was greatly appreciated. I have no doubt
they will refer additional co-workers to this session.
On a separate note several members had shown additional
interest in security training, which the SCP can
deliver.
If there is any way we can assist you in the future
do not hesitate to call. We value our Partnership
and plan on having great successes this year.
Dan Sorenson, Sales Manager

"The Certified HIPAA Professional course is
an excellent distillation of what really matters
in HIPAA. Security and Privacy have been intimidating
topics in HIPAA. The course materials organized
the information in an approachable format. I'd recommend
the class to anyone in a leadership position in
the healthcare industry. In three days you really
can get up to speed on the most significant event
for the industry since Y2K."
