Biomed Academy

In order to be compliant with OSHA, DOH & HIPAA’s training requirements and avoid hefty penalties, employees must be trained annually, and new hires must be trained prior to beginning their job duties. OSHA regulations require employers with employees with the potential for occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens to maintain and have a comprehensive, detailed, and site-specific Exposure Control Plan and Florida Department of requires a written operating plan for the management of biomedical waste at facilities where biomedical waste is generated, transported, stored or treated. Our "Bronze Compliance bundle" affords the ability to fulfil both the training requirement as well as the policies and procedures for OSHA, DOH & HIPAA

OSHA and Florida Department of Health requires new hires to have "initial" training prior to the commencement of duties, and with the hiring process proving to be challenging and difficult over the past year (high turnover rate), the retention rate has been tough. By Integrating our OSHA, DOH & HIPAA online training course as a part of your onboarding process for new employees, signing up for our "Bronze Compliance bundle" would give you full access to our online courses thereby fulfilling the “initial” training requirement for new hires.

Our HIPAA manual is personalized for each facility and may take up to 3 weeks to complete. It requires multiple visits to the facility to conduct a risk assessment with the practice manager or the designated HIPAA officer to identify and document potential threats and vulnerabilities. We will assess and identify security measures, make observations, gather information, take notes and complete a questionnaire. Upon completion of the manual, we provide a Risk Analysis report so you can work towards implementation and correction of identified risks and vulnerabilities, then finally we will review the roles and responsibilities with your HIPAA officer by highlighting key areas of the manuals

First you complete and return our questionnaire or schedule an appointment to receive assistance to complete the questionnaire. (Time depends on the size of the facility) Then we develop your site-specific manual - this may take approximately 1-7 days after receiving completed questionnaires. Finally, the manual is delivered and key areas of manual is highlighted and discussed with the administrator or designated personnel
