Unique HIPAA Dashboard Available at No Cost

HIPAA Checkup Dashboard Offers HIPAA Security Help with an Interesting Twist

Seattle WA (PRWEB) March 17, 2005 -- In response to extremely low HIPAA compliance among small providers, 3DGrid has released an easy to use, entertaining collection of tips, tools and reminders to help practices with their compliance requirements. The 3DGrid HIPAA Checkup Dashboard is available for free and may be downloaded directly from 3DGrid’s web site.

The initial release of the 3DGrid HIPAA Checkup Dashboard offers pop-up messages with HIPAA security reminders that appear in the user’s System Tray in the lower right hand corner of the screen. These pop ups help addresses the HIPAA Security requirement for Security reminders. User’s can set the frequency of the reminders to suit their needs.

The release also includes four games including HIPAA Hangman, HIPAA Word-search and an Othello-like game with a HIPAA theme to offer a break from the drudgery of HIPAA. The dashboard also includes healthcare humor and a HIPAA Security screensaver with more than 150 different HIPAA tips that alternate on the screen when the screensaver is running. The screensaver requires a password to re-enter the desktop, a basic HIPAA Security requirement.

“To be frank, HIPAA can be a pain for providers. While there are good reasons for the regulations, they are confusing and dull. Our flagship product, HIPAA Checkup (www.hipaacheckup.com) makes compliance very manageable for a small practice, but we wanted to offer some fun tools to help raise the awareness around HIPAA.” Says Tobin Arthur, CEO of 3DGrid. “The HIPAA Checkup Dashboard is something any office manager can load on their staff computers to ensure everyone in the office is learning about HIPAA and following Security best-practices. We will be adding new features to the tool over time, so those who download the Dashboard now can look for additional fun and helpful elements on a regular basis.” Said Arthur.

To download the HIPAA Dashboard, visit www.3dgrid.com and click on the 3DGrid HIPAA Dashboard icon. The download is small so it can be done via broad-band or dial-up connection. The tool will not interfere with any computer functions and may be uninstalled at any time. For additional questions, you may call 3DGrid at the number listed below.
