Overview Research best practices for improving hospital data security and ensuring that privacy requirements are being met. Then, write a 3–4 page scholarly paper (plus references) containing your research findings and recommendations for implementing those best practices. Note: Each assessment in this course is supported by the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, complete the assessments in the order they are presented. HIM systems make it possible for health care organizations to collect, store, and maintain vast amounts of patient data and other confidential information that must be kept secure. Nurse leaders and managers must work with IT and HIM system vendors to ensure that their systems are compliant with current privacy regulations and must ensure that best practices are in place to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of organizational and patient information. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to research and recommend best practices for improving hospital data security and ensuring that patient privacy requirements are being met.

Preparation Before you begin writing your paper, be sure to complete the following Vila Health simulation. You will use the information from this activity, as well as information gathered from the Resources and your own research, to complete the assessment. Vila Health: Data Management. In this simulation, you will resume the role of health care manager to analyze the data collection of a health care organization and determine the privacy concerns and considerations Requirements The requirements for your paper, outlined below, correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that, at a minimum, you address each criterion. You may also want to read the Data Management Best Practices Scoring Guide to better understand how each criterion will be assessed. Analyze Vila Health’s security and privacy issues. Articulate end-user responsibilities and best practices related to the security and privacy of patient data. Develop best practices for privacy, data security, and the integrity of patient information. Recommend specific end-user training and policy improvements to ensure end-user compliance with privacy and data security standards. Write clearly and concisely in a logically coherent and appropriate form and style. Write with a specific purpose and audience in mind. Organize and structure your writing coherently.
