ARLINGTON, Va. -- Plateau Systems, a leading provider of talent management software, content and services, today announced a strategic partnership with CourseAvenue, the leader in Learning Content Authoring Systems (LCAS), to make its entire eComply for Healthcare Series available through iContent. iContent, the industry's only multi-vendor internet solution for procuring, distributing, hosting and managing custom content will enable healthcare professionals and organizations to easily access critical compliance courseware via a centrally hosted platform, simplifying management and distribution. Leveraging CourseAvenue's Hybrid eLearning Program, iContent provides users more than 100 customizable healthcare courses to address their specific compliance needs.

"The world-class iContent platform allows us to offer industry-acclaimed compliance courses and content to a broad base of healthcare professionals and organizations," said Joe Gorup, CEO of CourseAvenue. "The dynamic nature and increased regulatory environment affecting the healthcare industry and its professionals require that in addition to keeping up with the latest advances in medicine, organizations be up-to-speed with regards to compliance issues. iContent's flexible infrastructure combined with CourseAvenue's leading content and customization capabilities enable us to help organizations meet these needs by providing an unmatched training experience to healthcare professionals throughout North America."

CourseAvenue's eComply for Healthcare Series, written by the experts at CCH[R], a part of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, provides healthcare compliance training in a variety of areas including HIPAA, administration, patients' rights, billing, and many others. The courses were developed for a wide range of healthcare departments, ranging from billing departments and compliance officers to medical directors, board leaders, and CEOs.
