Answer to Question 1

A privacy officer oversees all ongoing activities related to the development, implementation, maintenance of, and adherence to the organization's policies and procedures covering privacy of and access to patient health information in compliance with federal and state laws and the health care organization's information privacy practices. A quality manager coordinates a health care facility's quality improvement program to ensure quality patient care, improve patient outcomes, confirm accreditation/regulatory compliance, and prepare for surveys.

Answer to Question 2

During the professional practice experience, students are expected to report to work according to the schedule established by the professional practice supervisor. If a student cannot attend on a particular day or will arrive late, the student should call in. Students will be required to make up any lost time. Students are also expected to be well-groomed and to dress professionally. In addition, it is very important that students act interested in all aspects of the experience, develop good working relationships with coworkers, and react appropriately to criticism and direction. Students should discuss with their professional practice supervisor and/ or instructor any issues that arise during the experience that cause concern.
