Prior to beginning work on this interactive assignment, read Chapters 9 through 11 from the Wager, Lee, & Glaser (2017) text, and the articles by Adjerid, Acquisti, Telang, Padman, & Adler-Milstein (2016), Cartwright-Smith, Gray, & Thorpe (2016), Marvin (2017), and Richesson & Chute (2015). This assignment is a culmination of your Week 4 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Violations assignment. You will summarize your Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Violations from Week 4 and then attach it to your discussion post for a classmate to review.

Reflect back to the proposal you created for the Week 1 assignment to meet an organization’s needs and determine how the components from this week align with your proposal.

  • Summarize key points of your Health Information System Case Selection and Proposal from Week 1 to include the concepts from the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Violations assignment:
