Part One: Training Plan

You are to create a privacy training plan as the healthcare manager of a facility. Your training plan should include:

Who is the trainer?

How long training will be (how many days and how long each day)?

The method of training (in person, online, etc…)

Who should have training?

How you will verify attendance of trainees?

This is part one of the project. The training plan must be submitted as a one page APA formatted document.

Part Two: Create the Training

For part two of the assignment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation used for the training. Examples of scenarios your employees would encounter, regarding each content item listed below, should be included. Follow proper formatting for a PowerPoint (at least 22 point font, do not overcrowd slides – about 7 lines to a slide). Use the notes section to indicate the script for each slide. The presentation should be a minimum of 10 slides including a title slide and reference slide.

The content of the training should be as follows:

What is HIPAA and how does it affect me as an employee?

What is the Notice of Privacy Practices, who gets a copy and what does it cover?

What is protected health information?

How do patients obtain copies of records?

What is the purpose of a confidentiality agreement and why do I have to sign one as an employee?

What is included in a confidentiality agreement?

This is part two of the project. The training presentation must be a minimum of 10 slides with speaker notes and be submitted as a PowerPoint presentation.

Part Three: Create a Confidentiality Agreement

For part three of the assignment, you will create a one-page confidentiality agreement using the guidelines that you just presented in your training. The agreement must contain appropriate spacing and signature lines. The confidentially agreements must be submitted as a word document.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
