Type of Healthcare Information System

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a major regulatory aspect of health care information technology (IT). Complete the following for this assignment:

  • Identify 1 type of healthcare information system, and explain the steps that would be required to conduct a HIPAA audit of the system within your organization.
  • Explain what a gap analysis is and why it would be useful for the organization conducting the audit.
  • Your goal is to ensure that the organization remains compliant and to identify any potential compliance gaps.

This assignment is about creating a plan for the audit, not implementing the actual audit. Make sure you include recent changes to HIPAA as a result of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act), which was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).

Note: Use APA style 7th edition to cite at least two scholarly sources from the last 4 years.

Opportunities for Improvement: APA standards require a URL for webpages or a DOIs when possible (usually found in scholarly journals/libraries). Essentially, if you do not possess a physical copy of the source, a URL or DOI is required.
