NURS-FPX4040 Assessment 2 Interprofessional Staff Update on HIPAA and Social Media Use

Prepare a 2-page interprofessional staff update that educates health care team members on:

  • HIPAA guidelines

  • Appropriate and inappropriate use of social media in health care

  • Protection of patient privacy, confidentiality, and security

Professional Context:

Health professionals are increasingly accountable for safeguarding protected health information (PHI). Government and regulatory agencies promote security via:

  • Meaningful use of Electronic Health Records (EHR)

  • EHR incentive programs (Medicare/Medicaid)

  • HIPAA rule enforcement

  • Educational resources and tools to reduce privacy/security risks

Social media and communication platforms have improved access and communication but also increased PHI risk. Nurses receive annual training on:

  • Keeping passwords secure

  • Logging out of public computers

  • Sharing PHI only with authorized individuals

Scenario (for context):

You are a nurse who notices a coworker has posted a photo with a patient on Facebook, describing the patient’s progress. You identify this as a breach and report it to the privacy officer. The post is removed, and the nurse is disciplined.

Your organization forms a task force to create staff updates with two goals:

  • Educate on HIPAA and social media use

  • Prevent PHI breaches

Content Options (Choose 1–2 topics):

  • Social media best practices

  • What not to do: Social media

  • Social media risks to patient information

  • Steps to take if a breach occurs

Preparation Steps:

  1. Review the [Assessment 02 Supplement: Protected Health Information (PDF)] for setting context.

  2. Review infographics on PHI protection. Analyze their effectiveness (summarize 5–6 principles).

  3. Conduct research: Include 3–5 resources (2–3 peer-reviewed and 1–2 non-peer-reviewed).

  4. Design the update (choose format: flyer, pamphlet, or one PowerPoint slide—not a presentation).

    • Limit to 2 double-spaced pages (excluding title and reference pages)

    • Focus on need-to-know information only

    • Make it clear, engaging, easy to read

    • Highlight key points without overcrowding

Final Product Includes:

  • Staff update: 1–2 double-spaced pages

  • Reference page with 3–5 sources in APA format
