Case Scenario: A patient was admitted into the hospital and is scheduled to have open heart surgery within 8 hours of arrival. You are the Preop Nurse assigned to the patient. You are also assigned to two other patients that need to be in surgery by 7:30am.
Choose an ending to the scenario, and construct your paper based on those reflections. Choose one of the following outcomes:
- A HIPAA violation occurs, and client data is exposed to the media.
- A medication error has harmed a client.
- A technology downtime that impacts patient care occurs, and an error is made.
- A ransomware attack has occurred, and the organization must contemplate paying the ransom or lose access to patient data.
