Wiki HIPPA compliance tool

[skm510@live.com]

Can anyone point me to a useful HIPPA compliance tool or website etc? I am in an office that is not well informed on this subject and I am trying to explain things like there should be a assigned compliancy officer in every office etc... I need a simplified list of basic things that front end staff need to be aware of, as well as how often a HIPPA form needs to be updated, I believe there needs to be record of staff signatures that they have been trained? any help would be greatly appreciated... The more I try searching the more frustrated I get
