HIPAA Exams is a professional and management development training company with primary focuses on health care, workplace safety, and legislative compliance. HIPAA Exams, Inc. began in 2001 as an online learning system for hospitals. The Company soon expanded when Massachusetts General, Scripps, and the U.S. Air Force asked HIPAA Exams to develop content for Registered Nurses that was specific to Joint Commission (JC) compliance. In 2008, our name was changed to HIPAA Exams and we began to focus on a broader range of content.
