1. Confidentiality

2. H_P_A
REQUIRES ....
national standards
for
electronic health care
transactions

3. Does this sound familiar???
Dr. Smith walked down the hallway
talking on his cellphone
I overheard
patient condition and treatment information
about
MY neighbor (friend, son, coworker…)

4. What about this?
A nurse posted a rant on her facebook page
She discussed her horrible day at work
She said her coworkers never help her
That her boss was lazy
And her Director was nonexistent
So the patients were not cared for safely
But
This was printed
And sent to the CNO
She lost her job
And credibility

5. Is this your family?????
