Your friend and colleague just posted to a private Facebook page that only allows APNs: “I have a 45-year-old patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). She was healthy before this and worked at the Starbucks on the corner of Clark and Addison Streets as a full-time barista. If you were ever near there, you would remember her always smiling and happy to help. We just put her on mechanical ventilation and in a prone position. Nothing is working!! We are unsure what to do next. Does anyone have any suggestions?”
In your initial post, discuss the following:
Is this a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)? If so, why?
Does the critical nature of this patient’s situation supersede the patient’s right to privacy under HIPAA or other regulations or laws related to informatics? Provide a rationale for your response.
What is your professional obligation in this situation?
Post your original response by the end of Day 3. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by the end of Day 6. In your reply posts:
Provide a rationale for why you agree or disagree with your peers.
What other information can you provide to your peers?
Remember, your responses to peers must be on different days to allow for responses and engagement.
If you copy and paste references from the course into your assignment, be sure to confirm APA formatting before submitting.
