For context, I am studying for a CPMA certification and am reading through the CPMA Study Guide on the HIPAA Privacy Rule...
Does anyone know of an example of a harmful effect that must be mitigated when inappropriate use or disclosures of PHI occurs at the hand of a workforce member of a covered entity? and how is this issue mitigated?
I am thinking a harmful effect could be somebody 'emailed PHI' and the data leaked. the mitigation would be...the employee was terminated for breach of HIPAA?
Trying to apply real life situations to the regulations and rules under HIPAA but is hard translating into layman's terms for my own understanding. Any other input is appreciated!
