Your office has recently switched from paper to electronic health records. Your manager has noticed that some employees share logins and passwords and some walk away from their computers without logging out. Your office manager has asked you to write an office memo about protecting electronic health information.
Instructions
In a Microsoft Word document, create a 1-2 page office memo that includes the following:
Discuss the importance of HIPAA and patient confidentiality.
Explain why individual login information should not be shared.
Description of ways and methods to protect patient information.
 
Use professional word choice, correct spelling, and grammar. Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document. (Mac users, please remember to append the “.docx” extension to the filename.) The name of the file should be your first initial and last name, followed by an underscore and the name of the assignment, and an underscore and the date. An example is shown below:
