    • Principles and ethical beliefs of the organization
    • Why it’s important for your organization to follow HIPAA guidelines
    • The role that HIPAA guidelines play in upholding your organization’s values, integrity, and ethical practices.
    • Discuss how HIPAA policies may be received based on cultural differences.
