Section 2:
Instructions: Write an evidence-based paper answering the part C prompts found under the Requirements section.
The Career role I have identified is Privacy Officer/ Health Information Manager. Although
these seem to be two different titles, this role is often combined. Working as a health information manager in a healthcare facility, you would be responsible for maintaining and
ensuring the security of all patient records and data—and you’ll likely oversee other positions such as a health information technician, a medical records technician, a data
quality manager and other health information specialists. (Cosker, 2023) This description
also defines the role of a Privacy Officer.
Experiential knowledge, adaptability, and progressive thinking are three relevant
professional skills essential for success in this role. These skills are important and will lend themselves to career success. The knowledge and skills for privacy and security in
healthcare are valuable and need to be considered by employers in terms of the individuals they have working in these areas. (Walden et al., 2021) The skills
one gains with age and tenure at a facility offers them a unique perspective on processes and the people performing them.
Many problems could arise in the area of technology and data security in the healthcare
setting. One problem that may be encountered is data availability and security. This could manifest as data not being readily available to provide care to a patient or the data being
used to provide care not being secured appropriately to maintain privacy. Accurate, comprehensive data are required to produce the information clinical and administrative
decision-makers need, and the ability to access the information at the time it is needed is
crucial. (Glandon et al., 2021)
During these times, one would be able to showcase adaptability, progressive thinking, and
experiential knowledge to come up with creative solutions for increasing the speed and accuracy of data availability while maintaining security. This will often involve learning new
systems, putting a faster system in place and getting team members to embrace change. A leader must learn to inspire employees and convince them to believe firmly that they are
working on something grander than their immediate set of tasks. (Glandon et al., 2021)
This is a case where experiential knowledge can be invaluable. When you have worked for
many years with varied populations, it allows you the scope of vision to see how you can institute change with a specific team or person based on past experiences, even when they
are resistant. Implementing new data systems and software programs is often plagued with problems of all kinds. The ability to make changes or address a problem while putting this
new system in place with a positive attitude and continually moving forward shows amazing adaptability. With the speed of technological advances, one must always remain adaptable
and forward-thinking to succeed in this field.
While working as a privacy officer, you may meet many people. Patients come in all shapes
and sizes, ethnicities, genders, levels of education, and cultures. Your co-workers and care
teams are also included in this broad range. One goal of technology is to improve the
quality of care and outcomes for patients and providers. Cultural competency is essential to
quality care in all aspects, including accessibility. One type of access problem may arise
from people living in remote rural parts of the country that do not have healthcare facilities
and personnel close by. (Glandon et al., 2021) Advancing technology can break down the

cultural barrier to care for these people by providing video care by providers in other
locations.
These advances can break down barriers when interacting with the varied demographics you
will encounter. By being culturally intelligent, you can affect outcomes to create positive
experiences. “but at the end of the day, it’s about the people we take care of. And so always
trying to keep the priority, why do we do these things? So making sure the patient is always
first and making sure we’re caring for the people who are caring for people that is our staff,
our physicians, that sort of stuff. And how we deploy technology, how we use technology is
actually really snag dab in the middle of it. So, you know, our, our work and priority is to do
the best we can for our people.” (Dydra, 2024)
