HIPPA Compliance

Test users are encouraged to delete client names when their assessment process is completed. This proprietary, name deletion procedure involves a few keystrokes. Once names are deleted, they are gone and cannot be retrieved. Deleting names does not delete demographics or test data, which is downloaded into the test database for subsequent analysis. This name deletion procedure insures confidentiality and compliance with HIPAA (federal regulation 45 C.F.R. 164.501) requirements.

The "Delete Client Name" option is provided on the "Supervisor Options" section of the test's webpage. To delete the client's name, log in and navigate to the test that client has taken. On that test's main menu, click on that client's name and, then, click the "Supervisor Options" button. On the Supervisor Options page, click on the "Delete Client Name" button and, then, click the "Continue" button. When this step is completed, the test report will no longer be available for review or printing.

This proprietary, software feature is provided to give Online-Testing customers client confidentiality, at no additional cost. It is the test user's responsibility to delete the client's name, thereby insuring that they are HIPAA (federal regulation 45 C.F.R 164.501) compliant.
