This CME delivery is specifically intended for Alaska EMS personnel and will meet the requirements for training with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or just termed as "HIPAA". The actual law can be found in 45 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 160, 162, and 164, and has been updated several times, the last update in 2013.
The HIPAA process can be confusing for EMS, even after the 20+ years since its implementation. The narrated presentation, case examples, web links, and attached documents should clarify what EMS in Alaska should comply with when handling a patient's protected Health information (PHI).
Every Alaska EMS provider must be aware of, and trained in their individual service's HIPAA protocols, and know who their service's HIPAA Compliance Officer is.
The module consists of:
1. A narrated EMS-centric HIPAA presentation (1-hour) (mandatory completion)
2. A review of mandatory and optional educational documents as well as pertinent weblinks (45-minutes)
3. An end of module quiz. (15-minutes) (mandatory to receive CME certificate)
4. State-approved CME Certificate (cannot access certificate without passing quiz)
As mentioned, upon completing the presentation and the document/web link review, there is a short quiz to complete, and you must achieve a mandatory score of 80%. You cannot access the quiz until all mandatory items have been completed. The quiz may be taken as many times as required. All answers to questions are contained in the presentation. Once the quiz has been successfully completed, you can print/save the CME certificate which is worth 2.0 hours of state-approved EMS continuing education.

Its requirements address items such as exposure control plans, universal precautions, engineering and work practice controls, personal protective equipment, housekeeping, laboratories, hepatitis B vaccination, post-exposure follow-up, hazard communication and training, and recordkeeping. The standard places requirements on employers whose workers can be reasonably anticipated to contact blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM), such as unfixed human tissues and certain body fluids.

Child Outcomes Summary (COS) Process Online Module
The Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center's online COS modules are designed to prepare early intervention and early childhood special education staff to use the Child Outcomes Summary (COS) process to describe how children are doing on three child outcomes:
- Children have positive social-emotional skills (including social relationships).
- Children acquire and use knowledge and skills (including early language/communication and early literacy).
- Children use appropriate behaviors to meet their needs.
This Moodle training allows Alaska to link to the ECTA online COS module while measuring practitioner understanding through the State of Alaska's learning management system. To accomplish this, this course will direct students to the ECTA Website to register for and complete the COS Modules. Once students have completed the COS modules, they will return to this learning management system to complete the final quiz.
Students may choose to complete the online module as a cohort, or on their own. Each practitioner will need to individually complete the final assessment for this Moodle course to demonstrate understanding of the COS Process and provide feedback to the Alaska Lead ILP agency of additional questions and training needs. Scores from assessments will be used to report Alaska progress toward required systemic program improvement activities.
