Outline the steps a medical assistant can take to ensure hipaa compliance in the handling of patient information

Some things that a medical assistant can take to ensure HIPAA compliance in the handling of patient information would be:

1. Keep patient document closed and out of reach of those who are not authorized to look at the file.

2. Speak to the patient about their history is a closed/private setting.

3. Do not converse about any patient or their conditions outside of the patient setting or to those who do not have direct need of knowing what is going on with the patient.

don't compare yourself to others, this is a big one because due to photoshop and surgery people have this unrealistic image of what they should look like in their head.

think about good qualities you have and jot them down so can go back when you're feeling down about yourself.

make sure you have good hygiene, bathing often, face routine, brushing teeth.

if you'd like to change something set a realistic goal! (;
