HCS 320 Health Care Communication Methods Paper

notification that the organization is being purchased by a national group.

Because of new policies to be implemented, many of the residents will be

displaced. To make the situation more challenging, some of these residents have difficulty

the release of their medical information. Arrangements must be made for these

individuals.

communication methods for the health care organization described in the
scenario.

• The advantages and
  disadvantages of using traditional, electronic, and social media for health
  care communication
• 
  The effects of HIPAA and other
  regulations on the use of these media for health care communication

Cite a minimum of two sources, one
from the University Library and the other from the course textbooks or
Electronic Reserve Readings, to support your position.
