Project Guidelines
Identify a timely and important public health challenge that is a problem – nationally or regionally. Envision your infographic being distributed via the Internet or posted in a public organization frequented by your target audience. Be sure the topic and message fit together.
Identify your target audience. Your topic must be one that impacts the target audience you select.
Conduct research to identify information and data to support your message.
Develop an infographic that clearly and concisely communicates your health promotion message in a visually appealing, engaging and informative way. You may use one of the tools listed under Infographic Templates in the Putting it All.
Patients trust us with their most personal data related to their mental and physical health and well-being. In addition, we often have access to financial and other data, such as insurance plan numbers and social security numbers. The breach of any of this data to a third-party who is not entitled to the information violates their right to privacy and puts the healthcare provider at risk of disciplinary or legal actions against them. Unfortunately, security breaches continue despite our efforts. In fact, the healthcare industry is a prime target for cybercrime, as summarized in this report on cyber threats in the healthcare industry.
