The education department called you, the HIPAA Privacy Officer, for assistance with next month's nursing orientation. The education department requests a privacy training module for a group of RN interns starting at LiveWell.

The education department asks that you focus on the interpretation of laws, regulations, and legal guidelines to mitigate risk and impact to healthcare organizations as they strive to ensure that the nursing interns comprehend the importance of patient documentation. You accept the invitation to share a slide and immediately realize that the publication on your desk regarding a teaching facility, MD Anderson, involving a huge HIPAA violation penalty will serve you in your preparation.

1. Assess requirements of the legal health record for electronic health record documentation. This will ensure that the nursing interns appreciate the uses and purposes of the documentation in the LiveWell patient record.
2. Start sample Policy and Procedure guidelines to illustrate how electronic health record documentation must meet federal documentation standards. Include 3 specific documentation requirements from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare using the Interpretative Guidelines found here. (Citations must be included.)
3. Evaluate compliance with external forces using the MD Anderson publication as an example. Include the specific ways that health information was lost. Judge rules in favor of OCR and requires a Texas cancer center to pay $4.3 million in penalties for HIPAA violations. (Citations must be included.)
4. Each primary objective should be covered with at least 3 examples. The infographics should be orderly, easy to follow, attractive, and professional. Grammar and spelling are essential, and any resources used should be cited on the final page.
