Phoenix Health Systems and Health Professor, Inc. Launch HealthcareEdu,
a Comprehensive e-Learning Solution for HIPAA Training
Montgomery Village, MD - April 28, 2003 -- Phoenix Health
Systems and Health Professor Inc., today announced HealthcareEdu,
a joint Internet-based venture that offers comprehensive e-learning
programs enabling healthcare organizations to comply with HIPAA
privacy and security training requirements. Phoenix is a nationally
recognized healthcare information management consulting and outsourcing
firm, and publisher of such HIPAA educational tools as HIPAAlert,
HIPAAlive, HIPAAnotes and HIPAAdvisory.com ("the HIPAA hub
of the Web"). Health Professor, Inc. is a leading provider
of e-learning systems for the healthcare industry.
HealthcareEdu's premier offering is HIPAAedu, an
in-depth HIPAA Privacy training solution which enables staff of
organizations, large and small, to easily access, track, and complete
their HIPAA training requirements at any time or location. Customers
accessing the on-line courses at HealthcareEdu.org
will benefit from a full suite of highly interactive and engaging
courses - covering basic Privacy concepts through the essential
details of their organization's Privacy policies -- to ensure necessary
understanding of their responsibilities under HIPAA and to improve
their job performance. HealthcareEdu's curriculum is the
result of extensive planning, exacting research, and state-of-the-art
online training design by Phoenix' and Health Professor's expert
HIPAA training staffs. The HIPAA regulations, signed into law in
1996, require healthcare organizations that handle personal health
information to train their workforces on new privacy rules and organizational
policies or face substantial fines.

services will provide a uniquely authoritative new e-learning solution
to the healthcare community. The partnership also enables us to
expand into a broader compliance training market with Phoenix' knowledge
expertise. We are pleased Phoenix Health Systems chose our leading

R. Gaus, ScD., Health Professor's President.
"Phoenix is very impressed with Health Professor's commitment
to quality healthcare industry education," said D'Arcy Guerin
Gue, Executive Vice President of Phoenix Health Systems. "Now
that the Privacy Rule compliance date has been reached, it is critical
that healthcare organizations comply with both the initial and ongoing
training requirements spelled out by the federal government. This
partnership enables organizations to comply with HIPAA requirements
with the highest quality courseware and e-learning technology. We
evaluated a wide range of solutions and chose Health Professor because
it is the most scalable, comprehensive offering on the market, and
we're confident it can meet the demands of such a large audience."
