The HIPAA Assignment is divided into two parts.

Note: Even though it is in a "Quiz" format, the time is unlimited and you do not need to finish it in one sitting. You are welcome to return to it anytime before the deadline.

Part 1:

Read the following document published by CMS and respond to the questions within the assignment: https://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Medicare-Learning-Network-MLN/MLNProducts/Downloads/HIPAAPrivacyandSecurity.pdf Links to an external site.

Part 2:

Using the internet, identify a breach of HIPAA that has occurred within the last three years and answer the following questions within the "quiz":

1. Summarize the situation. Which specific HIPAA requirement was violated?

2. What was the impact to the organization/individual for violating HIPAA?

3. What should the organization/individual have done differently in this situation?

4. What steps do you recommend the organization take to ensure that a similar situation does not occur in the future?

5. Include the link to the article you found.
