We take care of IT.  You take care of business.

Technology at it's Best!

Yeah, that's right.  We said it! 

Greetings!

   

Another "Happy New Year"!  I hope you all had a safe and joyous holiday season!  O.K., enough of that.  It's time to get busy. 

No matter when your fiscal year begins, everyone is doing so much from Thanksgiving on, it's hard to concentrate.  We, like many companies, take much of that time and work on planning the next year.

And planning we did!  I tell our clients all of the time that they, you, are the architects of our programs.  Our design team has discovered solutions from interviews, feedback and questions from our clients.  We have heard what you need, and learned what you were missing.  And we have tailored programs that fit.   

Keep an eye out.  We are excited, and will shortly be introducing new HIPAA training levels.  Yes, I said excited.  I can guarantee you will be too!  But how do you decide what and how to train?  Enjoy the next couple of articles.  Happy reading!

 

Sincerely,

Brian G. Wilson

Cheaper?  Definitely.  Different?  Yes; very different, in fact.  But better?  My first thought was, "yeah, it's better if you are buying a Chevy.  But, we sell..." Then I stopped myself.

Now studying your competitor is a no-brainer for anyone in business.  For those of you in sales...   
Kicking the Dog
This... is About to get Real!

According the the Urban Dictionary, the meaning of Kicking the Dog  is: 'When someone in power over you forces something upon you, and you in turn force something on someone under you. like when parents punish you, then you turn around and beat on your little brother.'

Just last month, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) found that the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), the agency that enforces privacy provisions of HIPAA, has not fully enforced the law's requirements.  The report clearly states:
