Protected Health Information (PHI): Privacy, Security, and Confidentiality
Best Practices

In this assessment, imagine you are a nurse in one of the health care settings described
in the following resource:

● Protected Health Information [PDF]

Before your shift begins, you scroll through Facebook and notice that a coworker has
posted a photo of herself and a patient on Facebook and described how happy she is
that her patient is making great progress. You have recently completed your annual
continuing education requirements at work and realize this is a breach of your
organization's social media policy. Your organization requires employees to immediately
report such breaches to the privacy officer to ensure the post is removed immediately
and that the nurse responsible receives appropriate corrective action.

You follow appropriate organizational protocols and report the breach to the privacy
officer. The privacy officer takes swift action to remove the post. Due to the severity of
the breach, the organization terminates the nurse.

Based on this incident's severity, your organization has established a task force with two
main goals:

● Educate staff on HIPAA and appropriate social media use in health care.
● Prevent confidentiality, security, and privacy breaches.

The task force has been charged with creating a series of interprofessional staff
updates on the following topics:

● Social media best practices.
● What not to do: Social media.
● Social media risks to patient information.
● Steps to take if a breach occurs.

**## Instruction2.pdf**

First, select one of the health care settings described in the following resource:

● Protected Health Information [PDF]

As a nurse in this setting, you are asked to create the content for a staff update
containing a maximum of two content pages that address one or more of these topics:

● Social media best practices.
● What not to do: social media.
● Social media risks to patient information.
● Steps to take if a breach occurs.

This assessment is not a traditional essay. It is a staff educational update about
PHI. Consider creating a flyer, pamphlet, or one PowerPoint slide (not an entire
presentation). Remember it should not be more than two pages (excluding a title and a
reference page).

The task force has asked team members assigned to the topics to include the following
content in their updates in addition to content on their selected topics:

● What is protected health information (PHI)?
○ Be sure to include essential HIPAA information.

● What are privacy, security, and confidentiality?
○ Define and provide examples of privacy, security, and

confidentiality concerns related to the use of technology in
health care.

○ Explain the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to
safeguard sensitive electronic health information.

● What evidence relating to social media usage and PHI do interprofessional
team members need to be aware of? For example:

○ What are some examples of nurses being terminated for
inappropriate social media use in the United States?

○ What types of sanctions have health care organizations
imposed on interdisciplinary team members who have violated
social media policies?

○ What have been the financial penalties assessed against
health care organizations for inappropriate social media use?

○ What evidence-based strategies have health care
organizations employed to prevent or reduce confidentiality,

privacy, and security breaches, particularly related to social
media usage?

Notes

● Your staff update is limited to two double-spaced content pages. Be
selective about the content you choose to include in your update so you
can meet the page length requirement. Include need-to-know information.
Omit nice-to-know information.

● Many times people do not read staff updates, do not read them carefully, or
do not read them to the end. Ensure your staff update piques staff
members' interest, highlights key points, and is easy to read. Avoid
overcrowding the update with too much content.

● Also, supply a separate reference page that includes two or three
peer-reviewed and one or two non-peer-reviewed resources (for a total of
3–5 resources) to support the staff update content.

● Written communication: Ensure the staff update is free from errors that detract
from the overall message.

● Submission length: Maximum of two double-spaced content pages.
● Font and font size: Use Times New Roman, 12-point.
● Citations and references: Provide a separate reference page that includes 2–3

current, peer-reviewed and 1–2 current, non-peer-reviewed in-text citations and
references (total of 3–5 resources) that support the staff update's content.
Current means no older than 5 years.

● APA format: Be sure your citations and references adhere to APA format.
Consult the Evidence and APA page for an APA refresher.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in
the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria:

● Competency 1: Describe nurses' and the interdisciplinary team's role in
informatics with a focus on electronic health information and patient care
technology to support decision making.

[https://campustools.capella.edu/redirect.aspx?linkid=1540](https://campustools.capella.edu/redirect.aspx?linkid=1540)

○ Describe the security, privacy, and confidentially laws related to
protecting sensitive electronic health information that govern
the interdisciplinary team.

○ Explain the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to
safeguard sensitive electronic health information.

● Competency 2: Implement evidence-based strategies to effectively manage
protected health information.

○ Identify evidence-based approaches to mitigate risks to
patients and health care staff related to sensitive electronic
health information.

○ Develop a professional, effective staff update that educates
interprofessional team members about protecting the security,
privacy, and confidentiality of patient data, particularly as it
pertains to social media usage.

● Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication to facilitate
use of health information and patient care technologies.

○ Follow APA style and formatting guidelines for citations and
references.

○ Create a clear, concise, well-organized, and professional staff
update that is generally free from errors in grammar,
punctuation, and spelling.
