The use of electronic communications and social media allows users to instantly share pictures and personal messages with anyone, anywhere. But as the opportunities to share information online have increased, so have the challenges for keeping information private. The goal of this course is to make you more aware of social media’s privacy pitfalls and how to avoid them. During this course, you will be asked to make decisions on how to respond or communicate in specific situations. Your goal is to get through the course without committing a HIPAA violation. At the end of the course, your performance will be reviewed as well and the hypothetical consequences will be assigned based on how you responded. Do your best and good luck!
