Describe a project where you could use the “five-step scheduling process” and provide some examples of specifically how this process could be used in your project planning process.

1. Search the Internet to find an actual hospital release of information form. Or if you have access to a hospital release of information form, from your workplace or other connection, you may also use that. Analyze the hospital’s form to see if it meets the requirements of an appropriate release of information form. (Elements for a release of information can be located in the attached reading).

Explain your findings in a one page paper (excluding title page and reference page) cover at least five different elements of the form. Be sure to identify Federal, state, or Local law which influence elements for a release of information form. Prepare your submission in APA style, using an introduction and conclusion and including in-text citations for outside resources. Also be sure to include a References page with your references that include your textbook and at least two additional outside sources in proper APA format.

Please include the link to the hospital form, or a copy of the actual form, with your submission.

Step 2: Search the Internet to find a health care confidentiality agreement. Or if you have access to a hospital confidentiality agreement, from your workplace or other connection, you may also use that.

Explain at least five requirements contained in a confidentiality agreement and explain the impact of confidentiality agreements on healthcare organizations in a one page paper (excluding title page and reference page). Be sure to identify Federal, state, or Local law which influence requirements for confidentiality agreements. Prepare your submission in APA style, using an introduction and conclusion and including in-text citations for outside resources. Also be sure to include a References page with your references that include your textbook and at least two additional outside sources in proper APA format.  

Step 3: Using the release of information form and confidentiality agreement that you have located as a template, create a new release of information form and a new confidentiality agreement. Be sure to include all of the HIPAA and other requirements that you learned about in this unit's readings.

Step 4: Write a one page policy and procedure which outlines the Release of Information process including completion of release of information forms and confidentiality agreement forms.

Step 5: Submit your release of information explanation, a copy of the hospital form, your confidentiality agreements explanation, your new release of information form, your new confidentiality agreement, and the policy/procedure for grading.
