Map of NC with Central Partnership counties highlighted

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Interactive Online Training Module, unveiled in November 2006, was developed by the Northwest Partnership in response to an overwhelming number of requests from health department staff in partnership counties to develop a training that would educate both new and current health department staff. Fifty-six North Carolina Health Departments representing 68 counties have used the tool as of May, 2008 not including a Georgia Health District.  The interactive training is provided below, and is available to local health departments in North Carolina and other interested public health agencies.
