University CATTS training required by Mike Wheeler and Reece Smith University Compliance Office The deans' and president’s councils approved an initiative to standardize compliance training throughout MUSC. Approval was given for the mandatory use of CATTS (Computerized Annual Training and Tracking System) to conduct annual University compliance training. CATTS is an easy to use, Web-based software program.   Basically, all faculty and staff will use CATTS to complete the following compliance courses on an annual basis: Code of Conduct 2007 HIPAA and Information Security Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment MUSC University faculty and staff will use CATTS to complete the above listed courses prior to June 30 and annually thereafter. All faculty and staff will receive instructions on the use of CATTS from departmental compliance managers.   The University is accepting credit for completing this training employees or agents of University Medical Associates (UMA) or the Medical Center (MUHA). Again, if these courses were completed as required by UMA or MUHA, they do not need to be completed a second time during the same year. UMA and MUHA will be responsible to ensure employees and agents complete required compliance training.   Employees with limited or no regular access to a computer during their normal work schedule should be provided with access to a computer during work hours to complete the training modules. Several computers will be made available to employees for this purpose at the University’s Human Resource Employment Office, Suite 104, Harborview Office Tower.   In summary, University compliance training: will be accomplished via the use of CATTS; University faculty and staff will complete required training by June 30; individuals receiving training via MUHA or UMA will receive credit for training through that entity and do not need to receive training twice; and individuals who do not have regular access to a computer can use computers at University Human Resources.   The University Compliance Office is available to answer questions or provide assistance with this new training process.
