As you are hopefully aware as a nursing professional, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act is a federal law that sets standards to protect the sensitive health information of patients. In the cancer care setting, ensuring that patient health data and information is kept secure is a vital task of the oncology nurse in caring for each patient and your interviewer needs to know you take this very seriously. This is the time for you to discuss how you do the little things right in your work, like ensuring that the EHR is locked when you walk away and not discussing patient details with people outside of the direct care team. This is also a great opportunity to talk about any formal training you've had in HIPAA compliance.
