Product description

Apex Innovations supports the creation and delivery of guideline-based learning for healthcare individuals and teams, with the driving mission for optimal patient outcomes. Their course offerings across an easy-to-use online platform support continued education for certification maintenance.​

Users and the purchasing organization access resources through a portal and launch specific products bought. Included is an exam section where users can test their knowledge and competency of the given information, and in-turn receive continuing education credit hours.

How we use Apex Innovations at VA

Apex Innovations is currently used across multiple VA locations and provides the ability for VA nurses, doctors, and medical staff to access online training and complete evaluations towards continuing education credit hours. The platform is used to streamline the effort associated with identifying learning opportunities that staff need to maintain their credentials.

No VA Data

For SaaS products that do not contain VA-owned data*, there is now an expedited process that does not require a traditional VA authority to operate (ATO). Criteria include the following:

  • User owns a device (even if VA paid for the purchase of the device) such as a CPAP or glucometer that uses a SaaS product to share patient data (non-VA data*).
  • SaaS product has no direct connections or interfaces to VA systems or network.
  • Users consent to share their data (which may include PII and PHI) directly with the SaaS provider.
  • SaaS providers must have published terms and conditions for user consent.
  • VA providers access data in a view-only mode or with limited functionality per the user’s consent.

*According to Circular a130, anything that VA creates, collects, processes, maintains, disseminates, or disposes of by or for the federal government is considered federal information (VA data).

VA providers may not enter any VA information into this product; it must adhere to no VA data standards mentioned above.
