Knowledge of HIPAA is an essential part of the Medical Administrative Assistant role. The HIPAA Privacy Rule grants patients’ rights and access over their information created and maintained at a health organization including changing or amending their information when it is incorrect.
The first page of your submission will provide an overview of the privacy aspect of HIPAA, it’s importance, and a discussion of your reflections on the protections provided by the law and how that can be reflected in your own philosophy of providing excellent patient services.
The second page of your submission will be a formal letter, in block format, denying a patient’s request of health information at the health organization you work at. Written communication can reflect an organization’s image and the writer’s level of professionalism. When writing a formal letter, the format of the message must be appropriate content explaining the denial and have an understanding of the audience it is directed to- an organization’s patient.
This submission will contain two parts- Part A and Part B. Please submit as one document.
