Health care leaders must understand and respect the depth of the ethical implications related to the use of technology and data in all aspects of management, from patient care to operations management. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR) identifies real-life cases of HIPAA violations on its Web site and these cases are shared in the media.

Chapter 12 of your Ethics and Professionalism for Healthcare Managers textbook summarizes six of the most significant violation cases in recent years. Choose one of these cases listed on pages 215–216 under For Your Consideration (or a more recent occurrence) to evaluate. Research the OCR investigation and outcomes in detail. In your main post, summarize the details of the case and violations, and explain how and why actions taken within the organizations violated ethical principles. Recommend a strategy a health care manager might take to ensure this type of violation can be prevented. Be sure to cite and reference your additional research resources in your work
