Health Professor's Internet-based HIPAAprof is selected by University of Texas and its Affiliates for HIPAA training.

THOUSAND OAKS, California (February 18, 2003)- Health Professor, Inc. a leading provider of learning solutions for the healthcare industry, today announced that it has been selected by the University of Texas SOUTHWESTERN HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. to deliver training through HIPAAprof's Internet-based Learning Management System.

According to their new agreement, Health Professor's Internet-based HIPAAprof Learning Management System will be used by UT’s ambulatory clinics and 4 (four) healthcare entities, including Parkland Health and Hospital System, Zale Lipshy University Hospital, Children’s Medical Center of Dallas and St. Paul University Hospital.

UT selected HIPAAprof’s LMS and curriculum to meet regulatory training requirements as mandated by the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). Set to go into effect in April of this year, HIPAA presents a formidable, urgent training challenge for healthcare organizations. This new federal legislation mandates that hospitals educate their employees to become fully proficient and well informed of its specifications and requirements. HIPAAprof's online HIPAA learning solution, chosen by UT, jumpstarts training initiatives to become HIPAA compliant.

"As the rapidly approaching deadline of April 2003 quickly approaches, HIPAAprof’s training curriculum is increasingly becoming the just-in-time learning solution preferred by premier healthcare organizations-like University of Texas," Clifton Gaus, President, Health Professor.
