Your faculty member will provide a scenario for you to address in your paper.
Scenario:
You are a department of health nurse responding to an epidemic, a virus called UMP 32, in your county. As a registered nurse investigator analyzing patient data to discover possible trends and treatment options, you are tasked with collecting and analyzing real patient data daily. This epidemic has impacted all levels of the community including government officials, singers, actors, etc. While reviewing data, you stumble across a familiar name, which happens to be the name of your favorite singer, JAX. Upon determining this, you take a photo of the data and post about the finding on social media.
Choose an ending to the scenario, and construct your paper based on those reflections. Choose one of the following outcomes for the end of the scenario:
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.
5. Upon posting this, several media outlets reach out to you to gain more information and a “quote” from you. They even offer a handsome $40000 reward for your information.
6. A day after posting on social media, you realize your mistake and delete your post. However, it was too late, and a lawsuit is filed against you for exposing the information
