"Alan really helped me understand the core elements and details. I will be recommending ecfirst and this course to others."

"Great course. Alan is VERY knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this course for people who are new to HIPAA and the regulations."
Jimmy Goga
Portable CIO


"ecfirst’s Certified HIPAA Professional program did a great job of taking a large body of law and condensing it down to cover the aspects of the security and privacy rules that most directly impact companies that work with PHI. After taking the classes I feel confident about making HIPAA-related policy decisions that will keep our organization in compliance and ready for an audit."
Mark Adams
LeonardoMD, Inc.


"The CHP class exceeded all of my expectations. The depth and breadth of material covered in a two day period was impressive, while it was explained in clear and precise manner. I really appreciated the size of the class and interaction between the instructor and all of the students. The instructor was extremely competent and had a large volume of real world experience to back up their training. I walked out of the class and exam with a much greater understanding of scope and meaning of HIPAA and HITECH. Moreover, I have a lot more confidence in assisting the direction of our business when it comes to the Privacy and Security Rules."
Geoff Louis
Director of Product Development
LeonardoMD, Inc.


"I definitely received a lot of value from the class – prior to the course, I was fairly well versed on the Security Rule, but weak on the Privacy Rule and the Transactions and Code Sets – the course really helped me understand all of the rules and the challenges our clients face in meeting compliance goals."
Mark Bell, CISSP, CISA
Executive Vice President, Operations
Digital Defense, Inc.


"I found the class to be very informative and the information was presented in a logical manner that tied key elements together. The pace of the class was appropriate for both "seasoned" individuals and those who are relatively new to the information. The presenter was very knowledgeable and presented information in a logical manner that reinforced learning. I would recommend the class to anyone wanting to learn more about the HIPAA and the recent changes to the Standards as well as to those who are preparing to take the HIPAA certification exam."

Sylvia Hale
Umpqua Community Health


 "First, Lorna is an outstanding instructor. She did an excellent job of keeping the class focused especially with all the material that needed to be covered. I was beginning to feel brain-dead at the end of the first day session. Several years ago in the original HIPAA Privacy and Security programs, I was responsible for the security assessment for the enterprise network (WAN). I learned a lot back then. It was great to see what's happening in the evolution of HIPAA even as we speak."
Preston Sharpe
Senior Technology Consultant
Kaiser Permanente


 "I really enjoyed the class. I've been reading HIPAA regulation on and off for some years now, but felt rather bored and lost at times on how to approach understanding such a dauntingly large and somewhat nebulous federal regulation. The CHP class encapsulated everything into a well organized and structured logic that I can understand and absorb much more easily and quickly."
Patrick So, CISA

Kaiser Permanente


 "On behalf of the State of Oregon Department of Human Services HIPAA Privacy team, we would like to say, Thank You. The dedication and passion that your team presented on a daily basis for the past five months has been outstanding. We were able to surpass our project goal by 6 percent and maintain our projected budget! This is a direct reflection of the flexibility of both your Management team and the on-site HIPAA Consultants performing the training. When our organization scoped out this project to train up to 10,000 DHS employees on HIPAA Privacy we knew we would have to partner with a company that has proven their abilities at a national level. We were very pleased to learn that you had an interest in working closely with us to ensure our projects’ success. The HIPAA Academy’s past experiences, team members and client success’ made you the best choice for our project. You were able to prove to us the project plan you put on paper was able to be implemented and successfully achieved. Every HIPAA Academy instructor delivered the training with enthusiasm and customized it to include specific examples from various organizations within the State of Oregon. The project itself was managed closely, transparently and responsibly from the Project Manager and her supporting team in the HIPAA Academy back office. All feedback was very quickly integrated in subsequent sessions to make every training session the best it possibly could be. To date this is the largest departmental training project we have attempted. We owe a great deal of its success to the team at HIPAA Academy. I hope we have the opportunity to work together in the near future. We have and will continue to refer your services to all parties that are looking for HIPAA compliance services."
Teri Cardinale
Training Specialist

 "The CHP course was a lot to take in at once, but the instructor's (Lorna Wagoner) anecdotes based on her extensive and relative field experience and her course delivery made the compliance material and the rather prosaic nature of the HIPAA Rule itself frighteningly enjoyable! I learned a lot!"
Chelsea Budzko

I feel a lot more comfortable about how HIPAA relates to my company and how I will update our policies. THANKS! Also, I wanted to let you know that I was in a meeting on Monday and the owner of my company was talking about NPIs vs. UPINs. I was able to speak to the group on the difference and how the NPIs are assigned. Wow, did I take a lot out of your training!”
Kevin Hosty
Cleverley & Associates

Catherine Mathis, RHIT
La Palma Intercommunity Hospital


 “My experience with the HIPAA Academy, specifically ecfirst was by far the least painful training experience in my 11 years in the industry. HIPAA as it applies to Business Associates has always been a gray area for me. As a vendor, bring compliant in a client's eyes is of the upmost importance and this course really gave me some insight to be able to spark intelligent about this area.”
Chuck Edwards
Health check Incorporated

 “I had no idea the topic of HIPAA was so involved. After taking this class, I feel that I have the information available to me in an easy to use resource that will help me to perform my job to a higher standard. Lorna Waggoner was able to take a complex (somewhat dry) subject and break it down into digestible and interesting 'bites'”
Meg A. Watt
Intuit, Inc.


 “Knowing nothing about HIPAA before attending - other than it existed - I left the CHP HIPAA training from the HIPAA Academy with a fairly thorough understanding at a very complex subject. I highly recommend the course for anyone who has a need (or desire) to understand HIPAA or how to assist an organization become HIPAA compliant.”
Peter A. Savarese
Compliance Counsel, LLC


 "The task of bringing my client to HIPAA compliance was dumped in my lap. As a consultant more on the management side of the healthcare industry, I felt overwhelmed when given the responsibility. Being only slightly familiar with the medical transactions, codes and procedure, I thought it impossible to even grasp HIPAA from a class. Boy was I wrong! I now am aware and feel competent in my knowledge of the scope of HIPAA, and I am convinced that it will be evident in my report/briefs to my clients. Thank you HIPAA Academy!"

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."

 “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.”
