Your supervisor just announced that there will be an additional training session, specifically on confidentiality. Your supervisor has asked you to prepare a presentation on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and how to ensure patient confidentiality. Your presentation should consist of the following content:
- Explain confidentiality
- Explain the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
- Identify ways to protect patient confidentiality: o Verbally o In written form o In digital form

BHA 3401, Health Unit Coordination 5 o Example: Susan is a therapist in the ER of a city hospital, and she has just heard that a fellow employee is pregnant. The other staff members would like to give her a baby shower, but nobody knows when the baby is due or if it is a boy or a girl. Susan has access to the records, and could easily find the answers to both questions. Should Susan try to get information about the pregnancy and share it with the staff? The answer: Absolutely not. This is clearly an unauthorized use of medical information. Remember that any time patient information is used for purposes other than treatment, payment or operations; it must be authorized by the patient.
- List a set of resources for the employees, in case they would like further information. Components of the presentation include the following:
- Include a minimum of 10 slides and a maximum of 13 slides; the title page and reference page are not included in the total amount of slides.
- Include between 5 and 6 abbreviated bullets for each slide - approximately 24-point font.
- Title slide: content includes title of assignment, student name, course title and date.
- Include a reference slide. The PowerPoint and reference slide should follow APA format.
