The report should explain the importance of quality management, particularly in light of the healthcare reform.
The clinic is a Federally Qualified Health Clinic (FQHC). As required by federal statute, 51% of the board is current, income-eligible clinic patients. In regards to the remaining board members, 19% are community activists, 15% are non-clinic medical professionals (physicians and nurses), and 15% are local business managers.
Keep in mind that your report needs to address members who are not in the healthcare profession. You will need their support to implement the clinic’s health quality program and for future program funding.
Directions:
Your report should address the following:
1. Summarize the relevant features of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act with a particular focus of the quality requirements of the Act.
2. Identify at least two top-level principles and related concepts for measuring and managing quality in the clinic.
3. Compare and contrast at least two available statistical tools and methods that the clinic can use to reasonably measure and improve healthcare outcomes.
4. Describe how these statistical tools and methods will assure the safety of the clinic’s patients.
Your final product will be a word document and will be approximately 6-7 pages in length and utilize approximately 3-4 scholarly sources in your research.

Part I Comparing Accreditation Standards Across Health Care Settings
Standards that address appropriate documentation of patient care and effective management of health information can be found among accrediting bodies at each level of health care. While the standards cover the same area, their scope and requirements for compliance can vary widely.
Review the standards for authentication (signing) and timeliness of medical record entries for acute care hospitals, ambulatory facilities, long-term care facilities and mental health hospitals. Create a table to compare and contrast the standards, select which accrediting body’s standard you would recommend if only one standard could be applied to all health care delivery systems and support the reason for your selection. where you describe the corresponding standard for each type of facility. Address these at a minimum the “criteria” below in your table:
1. Are there requirements that are the same for each standard?
2. Which clinical staffs are allowed to make entries in the medical record in each type of facility? (e.g. physician, nurse, physician assistant)
3. Which accreditation standards address the use of electronic signatures?

In the era of health care reform, many of the laws and policies se.docxsleeperharwell
In the era of health care reform, many of the laws and policies set forth by government at the local, state, and federal levels have specific performance benchmarks related to care delivery outcomes that organizations must achieve. It is critical for organizational success that the interprofessional care team is able to understand reports and dashboards that display the metrics related to performance and compliance benchmarks.
Maintaining standards and promoting quality in modern health care are crucial, not only for the care of patients but also for the continuing success and financial viability of health care organizations. In the era of health care reform, health care leaders must understand what quality care entails and how quality in health care connects to the standards set forth by relevant federal, state, and local laws and policies. An understanding of relevant benchmarks that result from these laws and policies, and how they relate to quality care and regulatory standards, is also vitally important.
Health care is a dynamic, complex, and heavily regulated industry. For this reason, you will be expected to constantly scan the external environment for emerging laws, new regulations, and changing industry standards. You may discover that as new policies are enacted into law, ambiguity in interpretation of various facets of the law may occur. Sometimes, new laws conflict with preexisting laws and regulations, or unexpected implementation issues arise, which may warrant further clarification from lawmakers. Adding partisan politics and social media to the mix can further complicate understanding of the process and buy-in from stakeholders.

Overview
You have been hired as an auditor for a local university, which is preparing to undergo an accreditation inspection to confirm that security controls are in place and adhered to and that data is protected from unauthorized access internally and externally. As the auditor, you play a key role in ensuring compliance. As the organization prepares for its three-year accreditation, you are tasked with gathering the artifacts that will be used to build the accreditation package. The accreditation package will be submitted under the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and will use the controls found in
NIST SP 800-53
and
NIST SP 800-53A
. The controls to be audited are provided in the worksheet.
Your university has an IT staff consisting of the following personnel:
CIO: in charge of overall network operations and cybersecurity.
Information Security Officer: implements and manages cybersecurity policies.
System Analysts: monitor security features implemented on hosts (laptops, desktops) and server-side security (NIPS, NIDS).
Auditors: validate baseline compliance of systems in accordance with Security Technical Information Guide (STIG), NIST, and federal, state and local policies, regulations, and laws.
System Administrators: manage data and applications on servers.
Network Administrators: manage all switches, routers, firewalls, and sensors.
Desktop Administrators: administer hardware and software to users and manage day-to-day troubleshooting calls from users.
Help Desk: acts as the liaison between the customer and administrators through the use of a Ticket Management System (TMS).
To ensure separation of duties, all employees are provided a written list detailing their roles and responsibilities. Terminated employees are debriefed, and physical and logical access controls are removed to prevent further access.
Users are defined as those staff without elevated privileges that can affect the configuration of a computer or networked device.
Advanced users have the rights and credentials to physically make a configuration change to a networked device or direct a configuration change through positional authority. All advanced users complete the same initial user agreement as standard users as well as a nondisclosure agreement (NDA). There is no required training for standard and advanced users.
For automated account management, the university uses Active Directory (AD).
Onboarding new users and managing access follows this process:
When a user arrives, they visit the help desk in person and submit a request to have an account created.
All users must read and sign a user agreement outlining the rules and terms of use before they are given network access.
These forms are reviewed annually by the ISO and stored digitally on the network for three years from the date of termination. The organization defines a time period for each type of account after which the information system terminates temporary and emergency accounts (1.
Discusses the resources needed to ensure billing and coding compliance update...intel-writers.com
Ensuring billing and coding compliance in healthcare organizations
requires a range of resources to effectively manage and maintain adherence to regulatory requirements. Here are some key resources needed for billing and coding compliance:
Trained Staff: Having a knowledgeable and well-trained team of staff members is essential for billing and coding compliance. This includes certified coders, medical billers, and coding specialists who have expertise in relevant coding systems (such as ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS) and a thorough understanding of billing regulations and guidelines.
Coding Manuals and References: Access to current and authoritative coding manuals and references is crucial for accurate coding and billing. These resources provide detailed instructions and guidelines for assigning the appropriate codes to medical diagnoses, procedures, and services. Common references include the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) manual, International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coding manuals, and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) manuals.
Compliance Policies and Procedures: Developing and implementing comprehensive compliance policies and procedures is essential for billing and coding compliance. These policies should outline the organization’s commitment to compliance, define the roles and responsibilities of staff members, and provide clear guidelines for proper coding, documentation, and billing practices. They should also address potential compliance risks and strategies for addressing and resolving issues.
Compliance Software and Tools: Utilizing compliance software and tools can streamline billing and coding processes and help ensure compliance. Electronic health record (EHR) systems with built-in coding and billing functionalities can automate coding processes, provide coding suggestions, and flag potential errors or inconsistencies. Additionally, specialized compliance software can help monitor billing activities, conduct audits, and generate reports to identify compliance gaps or irregularities.

Three key factors will drive changes in the health insurance industry: federal health care reform, stimulus package mandates for health IT, and expanded medical coding standards. Health insurers will need to adapt customer-facing technologies to serve the 30 million newly insured obtaining plans directly. Insurers must also upgrade clinical data systems to interface with providers' electronic health records per stimulus laws, and expand claim processing and clinical management systems to support more detailed medical coding as required by upcoming ICD-10 standards. Effective project management will be needed to coordinate these extensive and interrelated changes across health insurers' operations.

Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health care professionals use the best evidence possible or the most appropriate information available to make their clinical decisions. Research studies are gathered from the literature and assessed so that decisions about application can be done so with as much insight as possible. Not all research is able to be taken into the clinical practice that is why assessing the literature and determining if it is possible to carry out in a safe and effective manner is important. The steps that make up the evidence-based practice is first to ask a question which pertains to your clinical practice, then search for research and literature that will help solve your question. Third step is to evaluate the evidence and determine if it can be used safely and effectively in your clinical practice, then you must apply the information to your clinical experience and with your patient’s values. Finally, you must evaluate the outcome and determine if the desired effect is being reached. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014)
The nursing process is drilled into our education as nurses and with good reason. The nursing process is used countless times throughout our practice. I was taught the acronym ADPIE which stands for assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. When assessing it is important to gather as much information on the patient whether it be subjective or objective findings. After we make a nursing diagnosis based on our assessment and then we plan on how to best care for our patient, and what our goals and their goals are for their care. Once the plan is made and the patient consents to the care plan then we can implement the plan. After we implement, we evaluate whether our goals and the patient’s goals are being reached. If not, we begin the nursing process all over again. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014) In my own practice I use the nursing practice on every patient and even do it multiple times. When a patient enters the emergency room they are immediately being assessed and then once the physical and interview assessments are done the nurse creates a nursing diagnosis. The nurse creates a care plan that is based on evidence-based practice and goes over it with patient to gain consent.
The difference between these two processes is how they begin. The nursing process begins by gathering as much information as possible to then give a nursing diagnosis. While evidence-based practice begins by posing a question first and then gathering as much information as possible. They do have similarities especially when it comes to the end of the processes. Evaluating whether the care plan is working in the nursing process or whether the research and literature brought out a successful new take on the clinical practice. They both need to make the outcomes are as expected and if they are not it is back to the beginning of the process.

TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 2
Our consulting team, RAL Consulting, was hired by TechEdge to evaluate its current
organization structure and behavior, identify areas of needed improvement, point out a list of
actionable items for the company to improve its performance and how to implement those. This
case outlines our team’s consulting process to produce a final case write-up.
CASE OUTLINE
1. Introduction (at least 1 but no more than 2 pages)
Overview and history of TechEdge (one or two paragraphs)
TechEdge offered technology consulting service to other business, in a B2B business model.
According to Prabhu & Hedgei, the company structure was divided into sales, consulting,
support and services, back office operations, finance and software. All these departments were
led by vice presidents who reported to the CEO. The VPs assisted the managers, who led their
teams independently in their departments.
TechEdge: Main Organizational Behavior issues (half - 1 page)
The case presented a summarized list of challenges faced by TechEdge. (For next assignment,
List 5 major reasons listed on the case on page 5). Our consulting team identified a few
behaviors that might be driving these 5 major issues. These are:
§ HR v. VP responsibilities
o HRs responsibilities limited to recruiting while VPs were managing, training and
evaluating performance of the employees.
o HR not assisting with people management issues.
§ Team leader v. VP responsibilities
o Team leaders were responsible for team performance, but each team member
reported to their respective VP.
TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 3
o Lack of unity and shared objectives
§ Group v. Team structure.
o Different departments working together as temporary teams without a clear
common objective. Each department was more focused on their own tasks.
§ General sense of unaccountability between teams:
o All teams felt they didn’t receive adequate support from the operations
department
o Dissatisfaction from Operations VP: Complaints about overload of work,
dependency on external factors, and not enough time to fulfil other teams’
expectations
o Finance team complained about not having enough funds due to bad performance
of the sales team
§ General feeling that the company was understaffed
§ HR team couldn’t hire the best employees offering low wages

Evidence Synthesis
Critique the below evidence synthesis exemplar to address the following.
Patient falls with injury and fall prevention remain complex phenomena in the acute care setting as well as a major challenge for healthcare professionals (Gygax Spicer, 2017). Patient falls are considered one of the leading adverse events occurring in acute care settings such as hospitals and nursing homes, with the detrimental impact to the patient ranging from mild to severe bruising, fractures, trauma, and even death (de Medeiros Araújo et al., 2017). Falls are common phenomena in older adults, with roughly one out of three people age 65 years and older who suffers from at least one fall per year due to multiple factors including environmental, social, and physiological factors either alone or in conjunction (Gygax Spicer, 2017). The etiology is that patients are attempting to get out of bed without assistance from nursing staff. Several of the causative factors include illness, impulsiveness, urgency, medications, or being in an unfamiliar environment. Lastly, there has been an increase in the amount of turnover in staffing, thus reducing the amount of available nursing staff in the practice setting.
Does the author clearly identify the scope of the evidence synthesis? Explain your rationale.
Are strong paraphrased sentences included that are supported by contemporary sources of research evidence? Explain your rationale.
Are the facts related to the practice problem presented in an objective manner? Explain your rationale.
Does the author use sources to support ideas and claims, and not the other way around? Explain your rationale.
Based on your appraisal, is this exemplar a true synthesis of the evidence? Or is it a summary of the evidence? Explain your rationale.

Solutions to Accelerate Compliance with Affordable Care Act (ACA) Mandates an...Lightwell
The healthcare payer ecosystem in the United States has changed dramatically over the last decade and is expected to evolve at an even faster pace over the next few years. Many world-class companies involved in healthcare payment processing are finding themselves constrained by their existing information technology infrastructure. The silos that they built around Business to Business (B2B) processing are constraining them, making it difficult to achieve governmental mandates and (more importantly) increase processing efficiency and competitive advantage.
The payers’ world today requires adherence to multiple industry standards, government regulations, and industry expectations. It is becoming more technical and payers need to become more agile (Figure 1). The IBM Standards Processing Engine Solution for Healthcare Payers is your answer to B2B enablement in today’s complex HIPAA/ACA (Affordable Care Act) world.

In the era of health care reform, many of the laws and policies se.docxsleeperharwell
In the era of health care reform, many of the laws and policies set forth by government at the local, state, and federal levels have specific performance benchmarks related to care delivery outcomes that organizations must achieve. It is critical for organizational success that the interprofessional care team is able to understand reports and dashboards that display the metrics related to performance and compliance benchmarks.
Maintaining standards and promoting quality in modern health care are crucial, not only for the care of patients but also for the continuing success and financial viability of health care organizations. In the era of health care reform, health care leaders must understand what quality care entails and how quality in health care connects to the standards set forth by relevant federal, state, and local laws and policies. An understanding of relevant benchmarks that result from these laws and policies, and how they relate to quality care and regulatory standards, is also vitally important.
Health care is a dynamic, complex, and heavily regulated industry. For this reason, you will be expected to constantly scan the external environment for emerging laws, new regulations, and changing industry standards. You may discover that as new policies are enacted into law, ambiguity in interpretation of various facets of the law may occur. Sometimes, new laws conflict with preexisting laws and regulations, or unexpected implementation issues arise, which may warrant further clarification from lawmakers. Adding partisan politics and social media to the mix can further complicate understanding of the process and buy-in from stakeholders.
Instructions
Choose one of the following two options for a performance dashboard to use as the basis for your evaluation:
Option 1: Dashboard Metrics Evaluation Simulation

You are a systems administrator in the IT department of a major metropolitan hospital. Your duties are to ensure the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of patient records, as well as the other files and databases used throughout the hospital. Your work affects several departments, including Human Resources, Finance, Billing, Accounting, and Scheduling. You also apply security controls on passwords for user accounts.
Just before clocking out for the day, you notice something strange in the hospital's computer system. Some person, or group, has accessed user accounts and conducted unauthorized activities. Recently, the hospital experienced intrusion into one of its patient's billing accounts. After validating user profiles in Active Directory and matching them with user credentials, you suspect several user's passwords have been compromised to gain access to the hospital's computer network. You schedule an emergency meeting with the director of IT and the hospital board.
In light of this security breach, they ask you to examine the security posture of the hospital's information systems infrastructure and implement defense techniques. This must be done quickly, your director says. The hospital board is less knowledgeable about information system security. The board makes it clear that it has a limited cybersecurity budget. However, if you can make a strong case to the board, it is likely that they will increase your budget and implement your recommended tool companywide.
You will share your findings on the hospital's security posture. Your findings will be brought to the director of IT in a technical report. You will also provide a nontechnical assessment of the overall identity management system of the hospital and define practices to restrict and permit access to information. You will share this assessment with the hospital board in the form of a narrated slide show presentation.
You know that identity management will increase the security of the overall information system's infrastructure for the hospital. You also know that, with a good identity management system, the security and productivity benefits will outweigh costs incurred. This is the argument you must make to those stakeholders.
Daily life requires us to have access to a lot of information, and information systems help us access that information. Desktop computers, laptops, and mobile devices keep us connected to the information we need through processes that work via hardware and software components. Information systems infrastructure makes this possible. However, our easy access to communication and information also creates security and privacy risks. Laws, regulations, policies, and guidelines exist to protect information and information owners. Cybersecurity ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information. Identity management is a fundamental practice. ...

Overview
You have been hired as an auditor for a local university, which is preparing to undergo an accreditation inspection to confirm that security controls are in place and adhered to and that data is protected from unauthorized access internally and externally. As the auditor, you play a key role in ensuring compliance. As the organization prepares for its three-year accreditation, you are tasked with gathering the artifacts that will be used to build the accreditation package. The accreditation package will be submitted under the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and will use the controls found in
NIST SP 800-53
and
NIST SP 800-53A
. The controls to be audited are provided in the worksheet.
Your university has an IT staff consisting of the following personnel:
CIO: in charge of overall network operations and cybersecurity.
Information Security Officer: implements and manages cybersecurity policies.
System Analysts: monitor security features implemented on hosts (laptops, desktops) and server-side security (NIPS, NIDS).
Auditors: validate baseline compliance of systems in accordance with Security Technical Information Guide (STIG), NIST, and federal, state and local policies, regulations, and laws.
System Administrators: manage data and applications on servers.
Network Administrators: manage all switches, routers, firewalls, and sensors.
Desktop Administrators: administer hardware and software to users and manage day-to-day troubleshooting calls from users.
Help Desk: acts as the liaison between the customer and administrators through the use of a Ticket Management System (TMS).
To ensure separation of duties, all employees are provided a written list detailing their roles and responsibilities. Terminated employees are debriefed, and physical and logical access controls are removed to prevent further access.
Users are defined as those staff without elevated privileges that can affect the configuration of a computer or networked device.
Advanced users have the rights and credentials to physically make a configuration change to a networked device or direct a configuration change through positional authority. All advanced users complete the same initial user agreement as standard users as well as a nondisclosure agreement (NDA). There is no required training for standard and advanced users.
For automated account management, the university uses Active Directory (AD).
Onboarding new users and managing access follows this process:
When a user arrives, they visit the help desk in person and submit a request to have an account created.
All users must read and sign a user agreement outlining the rules and terms of use before they are given network access.
These forms are reviewed annually by the ISO and stored digitally on the network for three years from the date of termination. The organization defines a time period for each type of account after which the information system terminates temporary and emergency accounts (1.
Discusses the resources needed to ensure billing and coding compliance update...intel-writers.com
Ensuring billing and coding compliance in healthcare organizations
requires a range of resources to effectively manage and maintain adherence to regulatory requirements. Here are some key resources needed for billing and coding compliance:
Trained Staff: Having a knowledgeable and well-trained team of staff members is essential for billing and coding compliance. This includes certified coders, medical billers, and coding specialists who have expertise in relevant coding systems (such as ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS) and a thorough understanding of billing regulations and guidelines.
Coding Manuals and References: Access to current and authoritative coding manuals and references is crucial for accurate coding and billing. These resources provide detailed instructions and guidelines for assigning the appropriate codes to medical diagnoses, procedures, and services. Common references include the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) manual, International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coding manuals, and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) manuals.
Compliance Policies and Procedures: Developing and implementing comprehensive compliance policies and procedures is essential for billing and coding compliance. These policies should outline the organization’s commitment to compliance, define the roles and responsibilities of staff members, and provide clear guidelines for proper coding, documentation, and billing practices. They should also address potential compliance risks and strategies for addressing and resolving issues.
Compliance Software and Tools: Utilizing compliance software and tools can streamline billing and coding processes and help ensure compliance. Electronic health record (EHR) systems with built-in coding and billing functionalities can automate coding processes, provide coding suggestions, and flag potential errors or inconsistencies. Additionally, specialized compliance software can help monitor billing activities, conduct audits, and generate reports to identify compliance gaps or irregularities.

Evaluating whether the care plan is working in the nursing process or whether the research and literature brought out a successful new take on the clinical practice. They both need to make the outcomes are as expected and if they are not it is back to the beginning of the process.

TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 2
Our consulting team, RAL Consulting, was hired by TechEdge to evaluate its current
organization structure and behavior, identify areas of needed improvement, point out a list of
actionable items for the company to improve its performance and how to implement those. This
case outlines our team’s consulting process to produce a final case write-up.
CASE OUTLINE
1. Introduction (at least 1 but no more than 2 pages)
Overview and history of TechEdge (one or two paragraphs)
TechEdge offered technology consulting service to other business, in a B2B business model.
According to Prabhu & Hedgei, the company structure was divided into sales, consulting,
support and services, back office operations, finance and software. All these departments were
led by vice presidents who reported to the CEO. The VPs assisted the managers, who led their
teams independently in their departments.
TechEdge: Main Organizational Behavior issues (half - 1 page)
The case presented a summarized list of challenges faced by TechEdge. (For next assignment,
List 5 major reasons listed on the case on page 5). Our consulting team identified a few
behaviors that might be driving these 5 major issues. These are:
§ HR v. VP responsibilities
o HRs responsibilities limited to recruiting while VPs were managing, training and
evaluating performance of the employees.
o HR not assisting with people management issues.
§ Team leader v. VP responsibilities
o Team leaders were responsible for team performance, but each team member
reported to their respective VP.
TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 3
o Lack of unity and shared objectives
§ Group v. Team structure.
o Different departments working together as temporary teams without a clear
common objective. Each department was more focused on their own tasks.
§ General sense of unaccountability between teams:
o All teams felt they didn’t receive adequate support from the operations
department
o Dissatisfaction from Operations VP: Complaints about overload of work,
dependency on external factors, and not enough time to fulfil other teams’
expectations
o Finance team complained about not having enough funds due to bad performance
of the sales team
§ General feeling that the company was understaffed
§ HR team couldn’t hire the best employees offering low wages
Among all items listed, our consulting team considers the following the m.

Evidence Synthesis
Critique the below evidence synthesis exemplar to address the following.
Patient falls with injury and fall prevention remain complex phenomena in the acute care setting as well as a major challenge for healthcare professionals (Gygax Spicer, 2017). Patient falls are considered one of the leading adverse events occurring in acute care settings such as hospitals and nursing homes, with the detrimental impact to the patient ranging from mild to severe bruising, fractures, trauma, and even death (de Medeiros Araújo et al., 2017). Falls are common phenomena in older adults, with roughly one out of three people age 65 years and older who suffers from at least one fall per year due to multiple factors including environmental, social, and physiological factors either alone or in conjunction (Gygax Spicer, 2017). The etiology is that patients are attempting to get out of bed without assistance from nursing staff. Several of the causative factors include illness, impulsiveness, urgency, medications, or being in an unfamiliar environment. Lastly, there has been an increase in the amount of turnover in staffing, thus reducing the amount of available nursing staff in the practice setting.
Does the author clearly identify the scope of the evidence synthesis? Explain your rationale.
Are strong paraphrased sentences included that are supported by contemporary sources of research evidence? Explain your rationale.
Are the facts related to the practice problem presented in an objective manner? Explain your rationale.
Does the author use sources to support ideas and claims, and not the other way around? Explain your rationale.
Based on your appraisal, is this exemplar a true synthesis of the evidence? Or is it a summary of the evidence? Explain your rationale.

Evaluation is the set of processes and methods that managers and stakeholders use to determine whether the program is successful. Success is determined by multiple parameters such as financial viability of the program as well as the administrative and clinical impact of the program on the community’s or organization’s mission. Today’s programs are also expected to proactively address healthcare disparities and inequities in all levels of communities and demonstrate measureable reductions in inequities in diverse patient/client populations.
For this milestone, you will create an evaluation plan that will include the financial aspects of your proposed program as well as your evaluation methods. In your submission, be sure to include the following:
Proposed Program :to establish a department in IGM to facilitate holistic care of pediatric patients. This holistic care will require patients to be monitored before, during, and after a clinical procedure. The program will be flexible to ensure that each patient receives customized care at a subsidized fee.
Financial Aspects
o What specific resources would you suggest for use in your program? For example, what staffing and equipment suggestions would you make?
Be sure to explain your rationale.
o What is the impact on the community’s or organization’s current budget? In other words, will the program fit into the existing budget, or willconcessions need to be made?
o What recommendations would you make for ensuring the program is financially sustainable? Are there measurable expense reductions for the community/organization that cover the costs of the program? Does the program create new sources of revenue for the community or organization to offset the costs of the program?
Evaluation
o What will you measure (such as benchmarks, patient outcomes, or other measurable data) in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the program implementation? Focus on both administrative and clinical measures. Include multiple levels of measurement, including the patients/clients served, populations of patients/clients served, and community environmental measures.
o What tools will you use to measure the effect of your program on reducing the incidence of healthcare disparities?
o How will these evaluation tools tell you whether the program is successful?
o To what extent will the program help ensure healthcare equity across diverse populations? Be sure to justify your reasoning.
Guidelines for Submission: Your paper for this milestone must be submitted as a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and proper APA formatting. Include at least three peer-reviewed, scholarly resources.

Heart-Healthy Insurance Information Security Policy
You are the manager of the information security analyst team
for a large health insurance
company. Your supervisor has asked you to review and provide
recommendations for
changes to the company’s information security policy. The
intent of this review is to ensure
that the policy complies with current regulatory requirements,
obtains the benefits of
industry specific standards, utilizes a recognized framework, is
relevant for your company,
and meets the requirements of all relevant regulations and
standards. The review’s outcome
3. should be to recommend modifications to the policy to ensure
alignment with relevant
regulatory requirements.
The policy is a large document that discusses confidentiality,
integrity, and availability
across the spectrum of the electronic information systems that
your company utilizes.
Among the services that your company provides are patient-
history evaluations for chronic
illness indicators, insurance rate underwriting, paying claims to
healthcare providers,
accepting premium payments from employers, and accepting
copayments from claimants.
In addition to regulatory requirements, the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services
(HHS) has set some national standards for identification of
employers, providers,
transactions, procedure codes, and place of service codes.
The company you work for holds information that is protected
by regulatory requirements.
This information includes individual privacy information,
4. personal health information,
financial information, and credit information. Information about
employees and patients,
also known as demographics, contain personally identifiable
information, which is covered
under the U.S. Federal Privacy Laws. Health information that is
personally identifiable, also
known as PHI, is required to be protected under HIPAA and
HITECH. Because the company
is an insurance company the government classifies the company
as a financial institution, it
is required to comply with the GLBA. Also, the company takes
credit cards to pay for
premiums and deductibles and consequently must be PCI-DSS
compliant.
Of greatest concern to your supervisor are the sections of the
policy that stipulate how a
new user is provided access to information systems and the
password requirements for
those systems.
New Users
The current new user section of the policy states:
5. “New users are assigned access based on the content of an
access request. The
submitter must sign the request and indicate which systems the
new user will need
access to and what level of access will be needed. A manager’s
approval is required
to grant administrator level access.”
Password Requirements
The current password requirements section of the policy states:
“Passwords must be at least eight characters long and contain a
combination of
upper- and lowercase letters. Shared passwords are not
permitted on any system
that contains patient information. When resetting a password,
users cannot reuse
any of the previous six passwords that were used. Users
entering an incorrect
password more than three times will be locked out for at least
15 minutes before the
password can be reset.”

SUBDOMAIN 423.1 - CYBERLAW
Competency 423.1.1: Standards and Legal Issues - The graduate
10. develops a legal analysis addressing legal issues, standards,
policies, legislation, and governance related to cybercrimes for
enterprise systems.
Introduction:
As an information security professional, you are responsible for
ensuring preventive information security controls are in place.
Such controls include implementing organizational and security
policies, processes, and other forms of preventive security
measures.
Scenario:
During a routine audit of an electronic health record (EHR)
system, a major healthcare provider discovered three
undocumented accounts that appear to have access to the entire
clinical and financial health record within the system. Further
investigation revealed that these accounts were accessing
records around the clock via remote access to the healthcare
system’s network. Three remote access accounts appear to have
been set up at least six months prior to the creation date of the
first account in the EHR. Additionally, the accounts in the EHR
were originally established as standard user accounts
approximately two months ago and escalated to full access over
the course of two weeks.
System controls are verified to be in effect that limit access for
each account to no more than 300 records per day. Over the
course of the past two months it is estimated that more than
37,000 but no more than 50,000 records could have been
accessed. Reports are being run to determine which patient
accounts were accessed, but the reports will take more than two
weeks to identify the record identification numbers and then
take longer than 60 days to compile the usernames and
addresses. An audit of other systems that contain sensitive
11. information revealed no other unauthorized access.
Audit files that would normally identify the creator of the
accounts overwrite themselves after two weeks in the systems
that provide remote access and the EHR. No one in senior
management has any reason to suspect that it was an inside job,
but based on the short duration for log retention there is no way
to eliminate that possibility either.
Task:
Create a legal analysis by doing the following:
A. Create three organizational policy statements that may have
prevented the security breach.
1. Justify each organizational policy statement based on a
nationally or internationally recognized standard (e.g., ISO/IEC,
NIST).
B. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and
references in APA format.
Note: When bulleted points are present in the task prompt, the
level of detail or support called for in the rubric refers to those
bulleted points.
Note: For definitions of terms commonly used in the rubric, see

direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources
that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased

A Service Level Agreement for Provision of Specified IT
Services Between Finman
Account Management, LLC, Datanal, Inc., and Minertek, Inc.
1. Period of Service
17. The service level agreement (SLA) is for a period of three
years, commencing on July 1,
2011, and concluding on June 30, 2014, with provision for
renewal and extension upon
agreement of all parties and contingent upon satisfactory
fulfillment of specified services, as
determined by semiannual review.
2. Parties to the Agreement
Finman Account Management, LLC, employs more than 9,000
professional staff in 70 offices
located in 20 countries and realizes gross income of nearly $4
billion annually. Finman
provides a range of business management services and takes
particular pride in staying
abreast of information technologies, trends, and applications—
particularly those that help
control costs, eliminate overlap, and enhance efficiency and
productivity.
With more than 50 years experience in business management,
Finman has gained a broad
and deep understanding of their own and their customers’
resources, needs, and growth
potential, particularly in the present rapidly evolving and
expanding IT environment. After
meticulous review, Finman has determined that with the
assistance of the above-named
18. firms, Finman will be positioned to significantly improve and
expand its services to its
existing customers and compete more effectively nationally and
internationally.
Datanal, Inc., was established by five IT entrepreneur
colleagues in 2002. It enjoys a
reputation for outstanding performance and presently employs
some 350 IT specialists,
most with proven skill in analyzing, organizing, and managing
large, diversified streams of
data and databases in logical, systematic form, transparently
and effectively bridging
present artificial separations. By enabling customers to
assimilate a consistently large influx
of new data while simultaneously drawing from previously
unrealized complementary
database resources, Datanal enables its customers to perform
more effectively in a highly
competitive economy. Datanal works toward a unified IT
management plan across an entire
organization—even across separate departments and divisions.
Minertek, Inc., begun by two federal laboratory computer
scientists in 2005, has built a
team of more than 200 skilled software developers with
particular interest and proficiency in
designing and creating innovative and effective data mining
programs and applications for
research and business. Minertek previously teamed up with
Datanal to provide more cost-
19. effective software and data management approaches for payroll
and tax services, enabling
customers to reduce or eliminate duplicate, parallel systems and
achieve economies of
scale.
Datanal and Minertek’s combined expertise will enable Finman
to significantly advance
beyond its traditional yet highly respected services. Finman
expects to expand its services
to existing customers by 5 to 10% over the first year of the
SLA, increasing its market
share by more than $1 million in the succeeding year, with
proportionate increases in
subsequent years.
3. Background and Rationale
In recent years Finman and its customers have devoted time and
resources to anticipate IT
trends and applications that have a transforming effect on their
companies and operations,
presenting them with sometimes difficult short-term choices and
radically different
strategies for the future. The IT challenges have been
paramount, effecting structural and
operational change in government, academic and research
institutions, healthcare and
20. emergency services, banking and finance, manufacturing,
transportation, and all service
providers.
Finman views this SLA as a groundbreaking venture to harness
the diverse array of IT-
borne customer demands and opportunities that cannot be met
by adhering to traditional
paradigms. Finman’s objectives in the SLA are to compete more
effectively in a highly
competitive industry by offering its customers a unified IT
management plan across an
entire organization or even, if the customer wishes, across
separate departments and
divisions. Datanal, utilizing sophisticated data-mining software
developed by Minertek, will
recognize and integrate common IT characteristics from
disparate operations, programs,
procedures, and products—even those located in separate and
unrelated service areas. This
enables the customer to reduce or eliminate duplicate, parallel
systems and to achieve
economies of scale and open new opportunities.
4. Statement of Intent
As recognized by leading research and consulting firms with
knowledgeable, skilled
management, advanced state-of-the-art IT affords extraordinary
opportunities for greater
21. efficiencies, cost reduction, higher productivity, customer
satisfaction, and profitability.
Sophisticated IT applications realize their full potential with
highly specialized technical
knowledge and management skills readily available only in
smaller firms focused primarily
or exclusively on such applications.
Finman has determined that service level management (SLM)
offers the most promising
strategy for the firm, both near and long-term, and the present
SLA is a significant part of
that strategy.
5. Scope of the Work Effort
In the initial year, Finman, Datanal, and Minertek will each
deploy, on a gradual basis, a
force of 20–25 specialists together with attendant management
and supervisory and
support personnel in the United States., Europe, and Asia to be
increased as the effort
expands to its full complement, perhaps three times that
number.
Datanal and Minertek have proffered specific information to
show that they have in their
present employ a cadre of skilled and experienced technical
experts prepared and available
to take on the required responsibilities. The firms attest that
together they have on hand
22. and available all IT hardware and software required to
undertake and carry out this work
effort.
Within two weeks of the signing of the SLA, Datanal and
Minertek will present to Finman’s
account manager a detailed plan for the conduct of this effort,
based upon and incorporating
plans and proposals for the work effort, as agreed upon in a
series of preliminary meetings
over more than six months.
In 30–90 days from the signing of this SLA, all parties will
have data management systems,
hardware, and software in place in at least 10 locations selected
by Finman in the United
States and abroad, according to the agreed-upon schedule and
responsibilities, to begin
inspection, collection, assortment, analysis, and assimilation of
customer data, together
with indications of common, similar, or analogous
characteristics.
6. Non-Exclusivity
This agreement is non-exclusive.
7. Metrics
23. Throughout this work effort, progress will be gauged by
specific, clearly defined metrics
developed by all parties to the agreement, which is fully agreed
upon and simple to
understand and employ. Metrics will reflect specifically and in
all aspects the principal,
strategic objectives of the SLA for Finman and its customers,
Datanal, and Minertek.
Metrics will be designed to set clear and straightforward targets
to determine performance.
A helpful rule noted by CAST is that, “Software quality that
cannot be measured cannot be
managed.”
8. Quality
The success or failure of this work effort depends
fundamentally on the quality of effort of
each person involved, with careful attention to detail in defining
specific tasks, establishing
clear and fully agreed upon metrics, obtaining and preserving
all relevant data intact, and
analyzing data meticulously and creatively for its potential
benefits and uses.
Those engaged in this work effort are expected to apply the full
potential of their knowledge
24. and creativity to its success.
9. Personal Conduct
Everyone associated with this work effort must adhere to the
highest standards of
professional conduct at all times, particularly in and around
customers’ offices, cubicles,
labs, and other work locations.
Every effort must be made by all persons associated with this
effort to respect all employees
and all property of Finman and its customers in particular. All
involved in the work effort
should take particular precautions to respect each person’s work
space, papers, property,
and privacy.
10. Deliverables and Feedback
Three months after the signing of the SLA, Datanal, with
Minertek’s full input, will present to
Finman a detailed review of the combined progress of the work
effort to date. In particular,
the review should indicate likely opportunities that appear to be
emerging for Finman’s
customers to realize significantly improved, potentially
productive, and more cost-effective
management services, which would afford these customers new
business opportunities at
reduced costs.
25. The report will discuss the specific feedback from Finman’s
data-systems managers and
customer-account managers on the perceived impact of the work
effort. All reports should
measure perceived progress against recognized and accepted
historical performance data
and specify actionable items. A few specific metrics are
particularly valuable for decision
making.
The report will present specific and objective feedback from
Finman, Datanal, and Minertek
employees on complaints received, including any interruption,
loss, change, or corruption of
data. Also, the report will, to the extent possible, provide an
explanation for such
interference.
At the six month anniversary of the SLA, a complete and
detailed review will be presented
to the senior management at Finman, inviting and responding to
questions from Finman
management.
Subsequent progress reviews and fully detailed reviews will be
presented alternately at
three-month intervals.
26. All reports will be presented in hardbound copies and in
personal presentations to Finman
management.
11. Compensation
Compensation for this work effort will be agreed upon and set
in advance at a fixed annual
amount, payable by Finman in equal monthly installments on
the first day of each month.
12. Termination of the Agreement
The SLA may be terminated immediately by Finman upon clear
showing of non-performance
or malfeasance.

VL Bank Case Study
You are the chief information security officer (CISO) for the
VL Bank based in Atlanta,
Georgia. Recently, a highly sophisticated and cleverly
orchestrated crime was brought to
your attention by the information security analysts in your
33. department and by a growing
number of business customers.
Your company’s commercial customers utilize a digital
certificate multifactor authentication
process to access wire transfers, cash management, deposit
operations, and account
management applications common to all business customers.
The problem is that several
customers have reported that new user accounts have been set
up under their names
without their authorization and these accounts are initiating
several fund transfers for
$10,000. The wire transfers are being sent to various other bank
accounts across the United
States. As of today, the amount of fraudulent transfers has been
over $290,000.
The bank’s affected customers are calling to get answers and
reclaim lost funds. Your
supervisor is demanding answers from you as well. The bank’s
general counsel is preparing
for litigation threats from the affected customers. This could be
a business nightmare,
34. especially if you fail to resolve the situation quickly.
After further analysis, you learn some additional information
about the case:
1. The $10,000 individual transfers are going to several U.S.
bank accounts of
individuals before being automatically transferred to several
international bank
accounts located in Romania, Thailand, Moldavia, and China.
2. The bank’s affected customers all used computers infected
with a keystroke logger
virus that collected usernames, passwords, account numbers,
personal identification
numbers, URL addresses, and digital certificates. These
computers did not have anti-
virus or security software installed.
3. The bank’s customers are frequently experiencing what is
known as spear phishing
attacks against them, which are fake e-mails that resemble
normal business e-mail
messages to customers, but contain the keystroke logging virus.
4. The bank’s systems have not been breached and no customer
data has been stolen
35. except for the few business customers whose personal business
computers were
compromised.
5. The U.S. banks that received fraudulent funds transfers are
located in four other U.S.
states in addition to VL Bank in Georgia. They are Bank A in
California, Bank B in
New York, Bank C in Texas, and Bank D in Florida.
6. VL Bank’s account manager responsible for these affected
customers has access to
copies of the digital certificates used by the customers as well
as account access.
