A Hypothesis is Placed to Justify the Extendibility of Recommender System/ Re...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Researchers still believe that the information filtering system/ collaborating system is a recommender system or a recommendation system. It is used to predict the "rating" or "preference" of a user to an item. In other words, both predict rating or preference for an item or product on a specific platform. The aim of the paper is to extend the areas of the recommender system/recommendation systems. The basic task of the recommender system mainly is to predict or analyze items/product. If it is possible to include more products in the system, then obviously the system may be extended for other areas also. For example, Medicine is a product and doctors filter the particular medicine for the particular disease. In the medical diagnosis doctors prescribed a medicine and it a product. It depends on the disease of the user/patient so here doctor predicts a medicine or product just like an item is recommended in a recommender system. The main objective of the paper is to extend the Recommender System/Recommendation system in other fields so that the research works can be extended Social Science, Bio-medical Science and many other areas.

Wally,I have reviewed your explanantion of your paper; however.docxmelbruce90096
Wally,
I have reviewed your explanantion of your paper; however, please review the instructions below and compare. This paper should have been focused on telenursing, not the use of EHRs. In each paragraph, your focus started with telenursing, but quickly changed to EHRs. EHRs can be used in telenursing, and this was the primary focus in your paper. Describing the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing would include allowing PCPs to assess their patients from a distance using telecommunications, allow patients to be assessed at home using monitors that are in healthcare facilities, allow physicians to utilize specialist to obtain a second opinion about their patients, etc. Telenursing can be used to monitor patients at home, via video streaming, between healthcare settings, etc.This is the use of telecommunication and IT to provide care or services to patients.
Once you review the topic and instructions below, please contact me at (229) 376-1539.
Directions From Doc Sharing
1. You are to research (find evidence), compose, and type a scholarly paper based on the scenario described above. Reflect on what you have learned in this class to date about technology, privacy rights, ethical issues, interoperability, patient satisfaction, consumer education, and other topics. Your text by Hebda (2013, Chapter 25) discusses telehealth in detail. However, your focus should be on the professional nurse’s role in telehealth, such as telenursing. Therefore, do not limit your review of the literature to your text. Nurses in various specialties need to know about the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing as it applies to their patients. For example, when you discharge a patient from an acute care setting, will a telenursing service assist that individual with staying out of the hospital? You may need to apply critical thinking skills to development of your paper.
2. Use Microsoft Word and APA formatting to develop your paper. Consult the Publication manual of the APA, 6th edition if you have questions, for example, margin size, font type and size (point), use of third person, and so forth. Take advantage of the writing service, Smarthinking, which is accessed by clicking on the link called the Tutor Source, found under the Course Home tab. Also, review and use the various documents in Doc Sharing related to APA.
3. The length of the paper should be 4–5 pages, excluding the title page and the reference page. Limit your references to key sources.
4. The paper should contain an Introduction that catches the attention of the reader with interesting facts and supporting sources of evidence, which need to be mentioned as in-text citations. The Body should present the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing from a patient perspective. The Conclusion and Recommendations should summarize your findings and state your position on whether Manuel should accept the position should it be offered to him.

Abstract
As mobile devices become ubiquitous, healthcare practitioners are exploring how using technological support in the workplace could advance their practice, communication and learning. This paper discusses findings from a research study funded by the Higher Education Academy (HEA) in the UK, which investigated how using iPads impacted on physiotherapy and occupational therapy students’ learning, reflective practice and communication with peers and tutors during placement cycles. Similar to research carried out amongst physicians in 2009, the students found that the devices collapse ‘time and space’, because they permit users to access data and resources when moving between patients, wards and clinics (Prgoment et al., 2009). The paper also discusses how students used the iPads to interact with other professionals and patients while in hospital and community settings, as well as the usability of the devices and associated apps for improving their learning (Clay, 2010). Apps were found to be good tools for documenting individual learning histories, engaging with learning objects and developing personalised structured education (Ifenthaler & Schweinbenz, 2013). The project adopted a participatory action research approach. Eighteen student participants used iPads during their placements in a variety of settings for a period of 5 – 10 weeks. The students were supported by visiting tutors and practice educators over an eight-month period. Interviews and focus groups were conducted with students, visiting tutors and practice educators to ascertain the utility and acceptance of the devices in practice settings. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model developed by Venkatesh, V. et al. (2003) is used to analyse the acceptability and efficiency of the devices in clinical settings. In particular, the research focuses on why user acceptance is challenged by established practitioners, and why healthcare settings have not adapted their environs and infrastructure so mobile devices can be used more readily by practitioners.

Davis Healthcare Improvement
Davis Healthcare is a dedicated team of professionals to providing efficient services and patient care delivering. However, each healthcare service requires improvements in one or more sectors to improve the quality of services rendered to the patients. Therefore, focusing on each aspect of development within the healthcare service, Davis Healthcare must make amendments and specific improvements to particular sections of its organization.
Among the required sectors of development include productivity management. This section entails activities that ensure service delivery to various patients and proper coordination with staff to coordinate patient care. Different data collection tools and analyses techniques and instruments must be used to have the appropriate data required for analysis in this section, (Panesar, Carson-Stevens, Salvilla, & Sheikh, 2014). Nice, but what is the topic you will be talking about – HAC, HAI, handwashing, pt identification, med errors? etc
Data Collection
Data collection is aimed at obtaining appropriate data and information required to ensure that correct information is managed within the organization's settings for proper analysis and fact evaluation. The kind of data needed to monitor improvements include data on specific statistics regarding delivery of services, feedback from patients, recovery rates, as well as patient care response.
Some of the tools that can be used in data collection include surveys, questionnaires, and interviews. These collection devices are used in gathering data from the field and various respondents appropriately before indulging in analysis and improvement process of the healthcare delivery sector (Blischke, Karim, & Murthy, 2011).
Surveys are short questions issued to various persons with specific answer sets and defined sets of questions. These studies are aimed at targeted forms of responses within the community and organization. The surveys are given out to respondents across the field area, to achieve issue objectively where the respondents can respond to the questions categorically.
· Surveys are easily formed as they are simple problems and can be sent through emails or other forums to the various respondents across the field of study.
· Informational content on the improvement of productivity management is categorized into obvious questions that can easily be understood by the different respondents within the responses.
· The response fields have areas that can be expounded upon to give more detailed information about a particular service or area of study. According to surveys, information available on specific areas of study and the challenges that each department undertakes in productivity management can be recorded in the survey answers.
· Some of the cons of using surveys include problems in understanding questions asked to the various departments. Moreover, categorizing each study ...

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
