A few weeks ago, I had an interesting experience when I went into an auto-parts store to purchase a replacement air filter for my wife’s car. When I got to the counter, I told the store clerk what I needed. He looked up the part number in the computer and then pointed to a wall a few aisles away, telling me I could find it there. I was a little surprised that he didn’t take the time to walk me over to the aisle to find it, because that was typical of my past customer experience.

Healthcare is a continuously evolving industry, especially when it comes to compliance. Compliance standards are consistently under scrutiny from regulatory organizations, which means healthcare professionals frequently need to refresh, re-train, and learn new concepts and best practices. When that time comes, microlearning is one of the best options for compliance training.

Not complying with HIPAA has definite drawbacks, with one major one being massive fines. The government can fine up to 1.5 million dollars for a single HIPAA breach incident - an amount that would put most small practices out of business.
