Unit 2 IP: Health Care Information Regulatory Environment

 Description

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a major regulatory aspect of health care information technology (IT). Complete the following for this assignment:

  • Identify 1 type of healthcare information system, and explain the steps that would be required to conduct a HIPAA audit of the system within your organization.
  • Explain what a gap analysis is and why it would be useful for the organization conducting the audit.
  • Your goal is to ensure that the organization remains compliant and to identify any potential compliance gaps.

This assignment is about creating a plan for the audit, not implementing the actual audit. Make sure you include recent changes to HIPAA as a result of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act), which was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).

Note: Use APA style 7th edition to cite at least two scholarly sources from the last 5 years.

 Opportunities for Improvement: APA standards require a URL for webpages or a DOIs when possible (usually found in scholarly journals/libraries). Essentially, if you do not possess a physical copy of the source, a URL or DOI is required.

The resource articles provide illustrations of how a practice environment analysis has been applied in tertiary and ambulatory care settings.

Using the 7 domains of analysis noted in Figure 2 of the Pursio et al. (2024) article and the TOP10 items (Extracted of PES-NWI) from the right-hand side of Table 5 of the Martinez-Riera et al. (2020) article develop a professional presentation that aligns with the requirements noted below.

Include the following in your presentation:

  1. A title slide
  2. A minimum of four slides for each of the 7 domains of analysis from the Pursio et al. (2024) article (total of 28 slides for this element of the presentation)
    • first slide for each domain of analysis – Title of the Domain (from the Pursio et al. article)
    • second slide – correlate that domain with what you perceive to be the appropriate PES-NWI item(s) noted in the right-hand side of Table 5 of the Martinez-Riera et al. (2020) article
    • third slide for each domain of analysis – provide a discussion of your observations and thoughts about the strengths and opportunities in your current practice environment with the PES-NWI items you have correlated with this domain; this discussion may require more than a single slide
    • fourth slide for each domain of analysis – identify one nursing leadership strategy you would deploy to either bolster the strength OR address the opportunity you identified on the preceding slide; be sure to include a resource/reference to support your selected strategy
  3. Summary slide – discuss how the practice environment analysis framework aligns with contemporary leadership theories in nursing
