HIPPA Reflection | Coursehero Helper

Need help with my Social Science question – I’m studying for my class.

This assignment will introduce you to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This act outlines ethical behaviors and responses for human service and health-related organizations and professionals. This assignment will help to familiarize you with the different components of this act and assist you in identifying how you can apply what you have learned in clinical practice.

Visit the following websites to learn about HIPAA:

• Medscape.com: The content on this site is free of charge, but you must first register to view it.
• On the right-hand side of the page, select “Download Slides” to access a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation.
• When you are finished reviewing the slides, consider returning to the site to access the “Additional Resources” pertaining to HIPAA.
• HealthIT.gov: Select the “HIPAA Basics” link on the left-hand side of the site. In this section, you will read about HIPAA requirements for consumers, providers, and regulators.

• Write a 175- to 350-word reflection on the information that stood out most to you from the two websites. Include the following:
  • Describe something you learned from visiting the two websites by which you were surprised.
  • Explain how you will use what you have learned from the two websites in counseling practice.
  • Explain how your understanding of HIPAA will benefit the people you will serve in your counseling career. What impact will it have on your clients?

  Format your reflection according to appropriate course-level APA guidelines.
