HIPAA Summit Audioconferent: Overview

Audioconference Overview

What Is an Audioconference?

It is a live event you attend via the Telephone that includes session handouts, an interactive question and answer period, and access for an unlimited number of participants at each call-in site. However, only one site can be offered per registration. It is impermissible for an organization to purchase one registration and to operate multiple sites through an internal telephone system. It is also impermissible for participants to record the audioconference. Tapes and CDs of the audioconference can be purchased online via the Registration page of this website. During the live Audioconference participants will be able to ask questions and make comments. The Audioconference faculty has agreed to take follow-up questions via email. Only Health Policy Audioconferences offer 11 types of continuing education credit that can be applied for and approved online. Health Policy Audioconferences are simple, accessible, cost effective and reach a broad audience locally.
