Compliance Violations

In this section of your paper, you want to identify three compliance violations you selected from the scenario presented in the worksheet. Provide a brief summary of each violation you selected, and please be sure to identify regulations or laws that address these violations. Please be sure to include any citations in your work (i.e. if you reference laws and law descriptions) to give credit to your sources and meet APA requirements (Zubich, 2021).

Regulatory Stakeholders

In this section of your paper, you want to identify any regulatory agencies, accrediting and certifying bodies, and state professional boards which may play a role in the three compliance violation scenarios in which you described above. For example, with a HIPAA violation, a report must be made to the Office of Civil Rights (OCR). What would the OCR do to investigate? How would the report be made? Please provide detail on any state investigation that might occur and identify the potential fines or penalties which the covered entity might face if a violation is verified. Please be sure to include any citations in your work to give credit to your sources and meet APA requirements (HIPAA, 2021).

Patient and Provider Rights

In this section of your paper, you want to identify the patient and provider rights and responsibilities which relate to the violations. For example, the patient’s right to restrict sharing of their health data would be violated in a HIPAA violation. Expand on any other patient rights which might be violated, or what other provider rights or responsibilities may have also been violated in the three scenarios you discussed. Please be sure to include any citations in your work to give credit to your sources and meet APA requirements (Zubich, 2021).

Compliance and Risk Management Factors of the Medical Records

In this section of your paper, you want to analyze the potential risk management issues as they related to the violations. How do the violations impact medical record management? How does the violation impact the patient protected health information? What type of risk will the healthcare organization face? Please be sure to include any citations in your work to give credit to your sources and meet APA requirements (HIPAA, 2021).

Plan of Action

This section of your paper will detail a plan of action that could be implemented to prevent these violations in the future. Here, you want to detail steps that could be taken to avoid issues from occurring in the future and best practices which could be put in place. Please be sure to include any citations in your work to give credit to your sources and meet APA requirements (Zubich, 2021).
