Availity will provide continuing education to health care business people through its newly released professional development product.

From November 3, 2011, the Health Care Business Expert Series will be available

through the Availity Learning Center providing continuing education to hospital and medical group practice administrators, managers, office and billing staff.

Availity Learning Center webinars are offered at $129 each and will feature recognized experts in the business of health care and information technology. Eligible attendees of these webinars will also be given a certificate of completion.

"As the health care industry applies information technology to reduce costs throughout the system, we're seeing an increased demand for workplace training on how to navigate this shifting dynamic," said Kristina Oliver, director of Learning and Documentation Services at Availity. "We've responded by extending Availity's experience in health care information to deliver useful, timely information that helps people effect change."

Webinars will be held on a range of topics including understanding the effect of HIPAA version 5010 transaction standards and preparing for the industry migration to the ICD-10 code set.

Speakers for these events include Robert Tennant, senior policy advisor on federal legislative and regulatory HIT issues and Rosemarie Nelson, a health care consultant specializing in information technology systems implementation for medical group practices.

Availity optimizes information exchange between multiple health care stakeholders through a single, secure network.

The company notes that its timely and relevant webinar topics will equip health care staff with knowledge needed to broaden their skills, fulfill continuing education requirements, and enhance value to their employers.
