  - An explanation of your issue and why you selected it
  - A description of the audience you are addressing
- In the handout itself:

You will comment on any security or ethical issues related to the use of portable devices to store information. You will also assess the strategies your organization uses to safeguard patient information and how these promote a culture of safety. You will describe an area where improvement is needed and one strategy that could address the situation.
