LuxorMedia to develop e-learning programs for ChartOne
LuxorMedia has been selected to develop a series of e-learning programs for ChartOne, the industry leader in patient chart management. Under a collaborative agreement with ARiA Marketing, LuxorMedia will develop training programs and a training video for ChartOne employees and clients on various aspects of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). ChartOne will use the first e-learning program to launch their national HIPAA training program in October, 2002
HIPAA specifies that by April 14, 2003, all organizations handling protected health information (PHI) must have procedures in place to meet the federal privacy guidelines for protection of patient information and mandates penalties for non-compliance. Patients also have the right to receive an accounting of disclosures of PHI and healthcare providers must provide the information within 60 days of the request. The training developed by LuxorMedia and Aria will provide ChartOne employees and clients with the information they need to comply with these new guidelines.
LuxorMedia was chosen for the project because of its expertise in developing visually intensive and engaging instructional courseware featuring sophisticated interactive experiences, frequent interactions and corresponding feedback, and complex 2D and 3D animations.
ChartOne offers healthcare organizations a complete range of patient chart management solutions that combine professional services with best-of-breed technologies to meet both short-term and long-term patient chart needs. ChartOne solutions free healthcare organizations to focus on their core competency: patient care, not paper care. With a nationwide staff of expertly trained HIM professionals and more than two decades of experience, ChartOne is the industry leader in patient chart management, delivering services to over 1,300 healthcare organizations throughout the United States.

The courseware was designed to provide Army troops with access to the training they need, 24 hours day, seven days a week, from anywhere in the world. They include sophisticated 2D and 3D technology, complex animations, stunning graphics and diagrams, text, video, and synchronized narration.
The training classes were created using an ISD-based development model, and incorporate all the principles of learning including motivation, retention, reinforcement, active participation, closure and assessment.
