In this assignment, you will step into the role of a compliance-minded professional by conducting a micro-practice assessment of a real-world or simulated healthcare setting. Over the course of one week, you’ll observe, research, or role-play how a healthcare facility—or even an office or clinic environment—handles compliance risks. Then, you’ll identify at least one potential compliance vulnerability and write a short action plan to address it.

– Patient privacy (HIPAA)
– Documentation practices

4. Develop a Mini Action Plan (750–1,000 words):

     Include the following sections:

– Compliance Risk Description
– Applicable Law/Regulation
