This source provides a comprehensive explanation of what HIPAA law is and violations of the law. For an interactive activity, I would have the students read the article and be able to list the 4 main categories of violations and what they each mean in a quiz format. The key takeaways for this source is for the students to understand how important patient privacy is and the penalties and ways you can violate HIPAA.

Potential consequences that may occur when confidentiality is breached is explored. Videos that include cases are embedded in this prepared power point.
