You make a Tik Tok video on your day off, showing photos of a local celebrity that one of your colleagues in telemetry took care of. You figure that most of your contacts would never recognize him anyway. It’s your day off and your personal time, so no harm, no foul, right? 

 Choose an ending to the scenario, and construct your paper based on those reflections. Choose one of the following outcomes: 

1. A HIPAA violation occurs, and client data is exposed to the media.

 2. A medication error has harmed a client. 

3. A technology downtime that impacts patient care occurs, and an error is made. 

4. A ransomware attack has occurred, and the organization must contemplate paying the ransom or lose access to patient data. 

 Research, compose, and type a scholarly paper based on the scenario provided by your faculty, and choose a conclusion scenario to discuss within the body of your paper. 

Reflect on lessons learned in this class about technology, privacy concerns, and legal and ethical issues and address each of these concepts in the paper. Consider the consequences of such a scenario. 

Do not limit your review of the literature to the nursing discipline only because other health professionals are using the technology, and you may need to apply critical thinking skills to its applications in this scenario. 

• Use Microsoft Word and APA formatting. Consult your copy of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, as well as the resources in Doc Sharing if you have questions (e.g., margin size, font type and size (point), use of third person, etc.). Take advantage of the writing service SmartThinking, which is accessed by clicking on the link called the Tutor Source, found under the Course Home area.

 • The length of the paper should be four to five pages, excluding the title page and the reference page. Limit the references to a few key sources (minimum of three required).

 • The paper will contain an introduction that catches the attention of the reader, states the purpose of the paper, and provides a narrative outline of what will follow (i.e., the assignment criteria). 

• In the body of the paper, discuss the scenario in relation to HIPAA, legal, and other regulatory requirements that apply to the scenario and the ending you chose. Demonstrate support from sources of evidence (references) included as in‐text citations. 

• Choose and identify one of the possible endings provided for the scenario, and construct your paper based on its implications to the scenario. Make recommendations about what should have been done and what could be done to correct or mitigate the problems caused by the scenario and the ending you chose. Demonstrate support from sources of evidence (references) included as in‐text citations.

 • Present the advantages and disadvantages of informatics relating to your scenario and describe professional and ethical principles appropriate to your chosen ending. Use facts from supporting sources of evidence, which must be included as in‐text citations. 

• The paper’s conclusion should summarize what you learned and make reflections about them to your practice
