Discussion Question

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

The case described in the Introduction is not atypical, even with as much emphasis as there is on information security; it is a good example of where an organization has violated the HIPAA and/or state laws.

To prepare for this Discussion, perform a search online and or in the library databases to find an example of an organization that has violated HIPAA.

Post a 250- to 300-word response in which you briefly evaluate how the organization violated HIPAA, the information that was disclosed, briefly describe how data was disclosed, and if the case has been prosecuted what was the ruling against the organization.
