case for breach of unsecured protected health information
Hi there, I have attached the required links for the case study and the structure for the paper.
this case is about,
On 28th July, outside the Seven Corners bar and restaurant district in Minneapolis, smashing the back window, a Dell laptop was stolen from the backseat of a rental car. This incident led to a security breach that will potentially result in exposing the patient’s confidential medical data and information. On January 19, 2012, Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson filed a lawsuit against Accretive Health claiming that Accretive failed to comply with the state rules.
please follow this structure when you write the paper.

Your Analysis should include consideration of the legal issues raised by the specific factual situation. Include a discussion of the applicable legal principles as a background for your analysis of the specific factual situation. Analyze and evaluate the claims and defenses of all parties. For a case that went to trial, evaluate the evidence and claims/defenses on both sides and analyze the reasons for the outcome.
ANALYSIS PARAMETERS
Be sure to include:
- the applicable legal standard(s)(e.g. a statute, rule taken from a case we have studied, negligence standard etc.);
- the arguments presented by both sides under those legal standards;
- how did the court respond to the arguments and reach its decision (if case went to court); or how would a court be likely to respond?
- your own evaluation of the legal issues and positions of the parties, including public policy, if applicable. Were the arguments strong or weak? What evidence supported the claims made by each side? Do the arguments make sense? Were there reasons other than the obvious ones for the outcome or decision?;
- policy analysis of the issues and applicable law, and the possible or actual outcome.
- Analyze the ethics of the situation, using an applicable code of ethics as a point of reference
- List best practices/ risk management actions that you recommend based on your research.
