Week 3 Assignment | CI1000: Computer Basics for Healthcare Professionals | 90 Points
Aligns with CO-3 (Digital Ethics & HIPAA Compliance)
Compliance Officer James Okafor writes:
Healthcare documents must follow consistent formatting standards to be professional and readable. This week you will apply paragraph indentation, alignment, line spacing, and page breaks to format a clinic privacy notice.
“Every document we give to patients must meet our formatting standards. Consistent margins, proper indentation, and page breaks show patients we are organized and professional — and it's required by our clinic style guide.”
Download the Week 3 Privacy Notice template from the course files.
Set all margins to 1 inch (Layout tab → Margins → Normal).
Set the body text line spacing to 1.15 with 12pt space after each paragraph.
Indent the first line of each body paragraph 0.5 inches (using the Paragraph dialog, not the Tab key).
Insert a page break (Ctrl+Enter) between Section 1 (Patient Rights) and Section 2 (Clinic Responsibilities).
Justify the body text alignment (Ctrl+J) for a professional look.
