Biosimilars
A biosimilar is a biological medicine highly similar to another already approved biological medicine (the 'reference medicine'). (A medicine whose active substance is made by a living organism.)
Biologicals
Biological medicines contain active substances from a biological source, such as living cells or organisms and are often produced by cutting-edge technology.
Biological medicinal product
Biological Medicinal Products, also known as biologics or biologicals, are medicinal products that are manufactured using biotechnology processes and derived from living organisms or their products. They can include vaccines, blood products, gene therapies, monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, and other complex biological substances.
Biological Investigational Medicinal Product
Refer to biological products that are being investigated in clinical trials or research studies to evaluate their safety, efficacy, or pharmacokinetic properties. These products have not yet received marketing authorization and are still in the experimental phase.
In the European Union, A biological substance is referred as the active ingredient in biological products.
A "biological substance" is defined as "a substance that is produced by or extracted from a biological source
That requires a combination of physico-chemical-biological testing, along with the production process and its control, for its characterization and the determination of its quality.“
Examples: Immunologic medicines
Medicines derived from human blood and plasma
Medicines developed by means of recombinant DNA technology
Hybridoma and mAb methods
Advanced therapy medicinal products
The requirements of the EU centralized procedure.
The approval standards for biotechnology products are the same as for chemically synthesized medicines.
Both types of products must be safe and effective and have appropriate quality.
MAA for a biotechnology product must meet the standard dossier submission requirements
MAA must generally comply with the CTD format, including with respect to
Module I (administrative information, including labelling)
Module 2 (various summaries)
Module 3 (chemical, pharmaceutical, and biological information)
Module 4 (nonclinical reports)
Module 5 (clinical study reports)
The EU has approved the highest number of biosimilars worldwide, and consequently has the most extensive experience of their use and safety.
EMA has issued scientific guidelines to help developers conform to the strict regulatory requirements for approving biosimilars.
The guidelines have evolved to keep pace with rapid advances in biotechnology and analytical sciences, and they take on board increasing experience of clinical use.
All medicines produced using biotechnology and those for specific indications must be approved in the EU through EMA
Some biosimilars may be approved at national level, such as some low-molecular weight heparins derived from porcine intestinal mucosa.

Herbal products, also known as botanical products or phytomedicines, are products made from plants to treat diseases or maintain health.
Herbal products are made by extracting active ingredients from plant parts, such as leaves, bark, roots, seeds, or flowers.
Herbal products, including dietary supplements, are regulated by the FDA. However, unlike pharmaceutical drugs, they do not require pre-market approval. Instead, manufacturers are responsible for ensuring the quality and safety of their products.
The FDA establishes Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) regulations for dietary supplements to ensure quality control during manufacturing.
The safety of herbal products in the USA is overseen by various regulatory agencies, primarily the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
To ensure a high degree of safety and effectiveness of herbal products and quality control standards during the manufacturing of herbal supplements and medicines, AHPA published GACP (Good Agriculture and Collection Practices) guideline in the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia.

Process Identification
In this paper, a process that will be improved through the DMAIC methodology will be identified. In this case, the process to be evaluated is the service offered to an a la carte menu (Nandakumar et al., 2020). This is a type of menu whereby the food is prepared after being ordered by a customer. In this process, the first step is the customer entering the store. The second process is the waiter approaching the customer and asking them the meal that they want to take. After taking the order, the waiter then takes the order to the chef so that it may be prepared. When the order is prepared, the food is then taking to the customers and they pay after receiving all the services needed.
High-level Processes
The high-level processes, in this case, including taking the customer’s order. In this process, the waiting staff ensures that they get the order right before taking the order to be cooked. The other high-level process is cooking the order. That entails using all the ingredients required to ensure that the food cooked is of high quality. The third high-level process is serving the customer with the food. That ensures that the customer receives the order that they wanted. The last high-level process s making payments. After the customer is satisfied with the services, they pay for their services before walking away.
Inefficiencies
Some inefficiencies have been identified in the process and they should be corrected for better service provision. One of the inefficiencies is that the customers are not provided with the menu unless they ask for it. They should be provided with the menu and be given some time to choose the food they want. The second inefficiency is that the waiting staff does not consult the payment method the customers want to use. Additionally, since it is an a la carte menu, the customers have to wait for some time before being served. Thus, they should be engaged in activities that will help them to pass the time.

Final Project Implementation Assessment of Electronic Health .docxtjane3
Final Project:
Implementation Assessment of Electronic Health Record.
Objective
:
For this assignment, you will create the assessment to implement the new HER in a Health care setting. The assessment phase is foundational to all other EHR implementation steps, and involves determining if the practice is ready to make the change from paper records to electronic (EHRs), or to upgrade their current system to a new certified version. You will be encourage to choose a Community Health Center or a Doctor’s Office. The Assessment is designed because our world has been radically transformed by digital technology – smart phones, tablets, and web-enabled devices have transformed our daily lives and the way we communicate. Medicine is an information-rich enterprise. A greater and more seamless flow of information within a digital health care infrastructure, created by electronic health records (EHRs), encompasses and leverages digital progress and can transform the way care is delivered and compensated. With EHRs, information is available whenever and wherever it is needed.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, a component of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, represents the Nation’s first substantial commitment of Federal resources to support the widespread adoption of EHRs. As of August 2012, 54 percent of the Medicare- and Medicaid-eligible professionals had registered for the
meaningful use incentive program
.
The paper will be 8 pages long. More information and due date will provide in the assignments link.
ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES (2 points /10%):
The
assessment
should look at the current state of the practice:
Are administrative processes organized, efficient, and well documented?
Are clinical workflows efficient, clearly mapped out, and understood by all staff?
Are data collection and reporting processes well established and documented?
Are staff members computer literate and comfortable with information technology?
Does the practice have access to
high-speed internet connectivity
?
Does the practice have access to the financial capital required to purchase new or additional hardware?
Are there clinical priorities or needs that should be addressed?
Does the practice have specialty specific requirements?
Through the Regional Extension Centers (RECs), we’ve learned that these questions and assessment tools provide a good understanding of the current state of the practice and can help identify key goals for improvement. Often, these goals relate to patient quality, patient satisfaction, practice productivity and efficiency, improved quality of work environment, and most important to the overall goal – improved health care.
EACH PAPER SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
1.
Introduction (5 points / 25%)
Offer an abstract that provide a brief outlook of the proposal and explaining in your own words what is meant by a Electronic H.

Mini-Case Study 4:
Technology in Health Care:
Automating Admissions
P rocesses*
Eric Christ

C H A P T E R
Alexander Bain was a clever fellow. He invented the electric clock and the first electric
printing telegraph. He also invented the fax machine, the device that many long-term care
providers rely on for patient referral and admissions communications. That was in 1843.
That’s right; the technology at the core of the referral and admissions process for many
continuing care providers is more than 150 years old.
Needless to say, a lot has changed since then. Providers can benefit from these changes
by looking at their patient intake processes and considering ways to use the Internet and
other technological advances to automate and accelerate admissions and referral
management.
ASSESS ADMISSIONS PROCESS
The first step for providers who are considering improved tools for patient intake is to assess
current processes. Here are some good questions to start with:
• How many referrals are received per day or per month?
• How many sources (hospitals, physicians, liaisons, other long-term care providers)
send referrals?
• How many pages of documents are associated with each referral?
• How are patient review and approval tasks assigned and tracked?
• How are referral and intake activities collected and reported?
Many providers do not realize what vast mountains of paper they manage. Results from
a 2007 survey of about 400 skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies indicate the
average provider receives four referrals per day, each with 22 pages of related documents.
That’s 1,460 referrals and 32,120 pages of documents per year—an eight-foot stack of paper
for the average provider to process, review, and manage.
In a study conducted by a Canadian health policy organization, nursing facility admis-
sions processes were found to involve 160 steps, including 69 handling steps, 36 forms to

complete, four family trips to the facility that involved 53 steps and five staff members, and
nine forms.
AREAS TO AUTOMATE
Clearly, providers have many opportunities to streamline the admissions process. For ex-
ample, there are typically four to five steps between an initial inquiry and a response to
the referral source, after which insurance must be verified before a final decision to admit
is made.
Once a provider has identified the steps in its admissions process, it can evaluate ways to
apply messaging, management, and workflow technologies that can improve admissions in
the following areas: fax and document management, communications, referral tracking
and approval, and reporting.
FAX AND DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
“Any solution that doesn’t address the fax challenges will typically fall short,” says Felicia
Wil.

Real World Case 6.1
A large urban children’s hospital in Dallas, Texas, is leading in the delivery of care provided to children from birth through age 18. After implementing an electronic health record, the hospital identified operations in need of improvement. It found that individual business units were working in their own silos with little interdepartmental communication occurring, and the individual business units had different policies, procedures, and processes for information governance and data management. The hospital quickly realized the need to standardize processes and create an effective information governance program to help streamline and manage the vast amount of data being collected across the organization.
Using tools that are available through AHIMA’s Information Governance Adoption Model (IGAM), the hospital evaluated the current state of information governance at the organization. This was done through the evaluation and review of information-related policies and procedures throughout the system. It also created the foundation necessary to implement a process to review, edit, and update all those information policies and procedures to create a consistent and standardized process across all business units of the organization. Most important, it showed the need to educate workforce members on the importance of having a consistent format for data collection across the entire organization.
The outcome of implementing an information governance program at the children’s hospital produced many benefits. The hospital was able to create a consistent process for training and educating all workforce members to support the transparency of data management to use the information to its competitive advantage. It created a platform to have open and transparent conversations throughout the healthcare organization, supporting the mission of the organization. By streamlining all the policies and procedures across the organization, the hospital was able to break down department silos that existed within the organization and implement an organization-wide culture supporting the information governance program.

Professional Memo 1
IFSM 201 Professional Memo
Before you begin this assignment, be sure you have read the Small Merchant Guide to Safe
Payments documentation from the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS)
organization. PCI Data Security Standards are established to protect payment account data
throughout the payment lifecycle, and to protect individuals and entities from the criminals who
attempt to steal sensitive data. The PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) applies to all entities
that store, process, and/or transmit cardholder data, including merchants, service providers, and
financial institutions.
Purpose of this Assignment
You work as an Information Technology Consultant for the Greater Washington Risk Associates
(GWRA) and have been asked to write a professional memo to one of your clients as a follow-up
to their recent risk assessment (RA). GWRA specializes in enterprise risk management for state
agencies and municipalities. The county of Anne Arundel, Maryland (the client) hired GWRA to
conduct a risk assessment of Odenton, Maryland (a community within the Anne Arundel
County), with a focus on business operations within the municipality.
This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcome to enable you to:
• Identify ethical, security, and privacy considerations in conducting data and information
analysis and selecting and using information technology.
Assignment
Your supervisor has asked that the memo focus on Odenton’s information systems, and
specifically, securing the processes for payments of services. Currently, the Odenton Township
offices accept cash or credit card payment for the services of sanitation (sewer and refuse),
water, and property taxes. Residents can pay either in-person at township offices or over the
phone with a major credit card (American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa). Over the
phone payment involves with speaking to an employee and giving the credit card information.
Once payment is received, the Accounting Department is responsible for manually entering it
into the township database system and making daily deposits to the bank.
The purpose of the professional memo is to identify a minimum of three current controls
(e.g., tools, practices, policies) in Odenton Township (either a control specific to Odenton
Township or a control provided by Anne Arundel county) that can be considered best
practices in safe payment/data protection. Furthermore, beyond what measures are
currently in place, you should highlight the need to focus on insider threats and provide a
minimum of three additional recommendations. Below are the findings from the Risk
Assessment:
• The IT department for Anne Arundel County requires strong passwords for users to
access and use information systems.

The Prevalence of Pressure Ulcer Among The Elderly And Decreased Mobility Patients in The Hospitals And Healthcare Facilities.
Abstract
Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers remain to be amongst the continuous and persistent healthcare issues that are affecting the delivery of quality healthcare services. Pressure ulcers or pressure sores or bedsores refer to the injuries of the skin and the underlying tissues that are mainly caused by the prolonged pressure on the skin. According to the National Health Service, these conditions are common in individuals who are bedridden or are sitting on wheelchairs and chairs for an extended period. The disease occurs on the body parts that are commonly exposed to the pressure for example the spine, hips, elbows, and heels. The issue of pressure ulcers is a major public health concern since it consumes large sums of money to address the problem (Grey et al., 2016). On average, a client is being charged $ 37,800 for extreme cases of pressure ulcers.
This study aims to implement certain method to prevent pressure ulcers among the elderly above 60 years and decreased mobility patients in the hospital and healthcare facilities through the use of Braden scale, applying mepilex foam dressing to bony prominence areas, and repositioning. Patients especially elderly adults are experiencing lengthy hospital stays and this is exposing them to the high risk of pressure ulcers. According to Rondinelli et al (2018), several factors are linked to pressure ulcers. These multi-factorial factors involve hormonal changes, impairment of blood perfusion, inflammation, degenerative changes, and reduction in the effectiveness of immunity. The majority of elderly patients suffer from frailty and other chronic diseases that reduce their ability to engage in daily activities (ADLs) and even experiences limited movements. This increases their level of exposure to hospital-acquired pressure injury (HAPI). This is a health concern that requires the development of effective evidence-based interventions to help in the creation of awareness concerning therapy and preventive approaches such as the application of the Braden Scale to help in detecting the risks of adult patients. It is also important to design approaches that are helpful in the protection of the bony regions using pads and repositioning of the patients after every 2 hours (Lyder & Ayello, 2018).
Many healthcare facilities have attempted to design effective evidence-based interventions but the issue of healthcare-acquired pressure ulcers continued to persist. Despite the increased efforts to implement evidence-based procedures to guide the nurses in reducing the pressure ulcers issue within the acute care facilities, the number of reported cases of pressure ulcers continues to be a major issue (Grey et al., 2016). The majority of healthcare facilities are fa.

Project Topic Proposal
The proposed topic is cyber security. My proposal in this software development project of this class is to develop cyber security software to be a tool that protects systems against malicious attacks and online threats. The software should b able to detect and block threats that can not be detected by antivirus. The technology to be used will be defensive Artificial intelligence. Cybersecurity professional experts can utilize guarded man-made consciousness (simulated intelligence) to distinguish or stop cyberattacks. Sagacious cybercriminals use innovations like hostile computer-based intelligence and ill-disposed AI since they are harder for conventional network protection instruments to identify. Offensive AI incorporates profound fakes, bogus pictures, personas, and recordings that convincingly portray individuals or things that never occurred or don't exist. Noxious entertainers can utilize ill-disposed AI to fool machines into breaking down by giving them mistaken information. Cybersecurity professionals can utilize cautious computer-based intelligence to recognize and prevent hostile man-made intelligence from estimating, testing, and figuring out how the framework or organization's capabilities. Defensive AI can reinforce calculations, making them more challenging to break. Network protection analysts can direct more extreme weakness tests on AI models.
Artificial intelligence cautious apparatuses can precisely anticipate assault vectors, pinpoint the delicate region of the organization and frameworks, and even set it up groups for approaching occasions(Graham, Olson,& Howard, 2016). The progression of computerized data is developing a regular schedule making it progressively challenging to oversee and structure it or even to isolate what is significantly based on what is pointless. Confronted with this test, new encouraging advancement innovations are being created to bring 'information examination's to the following developmental level. Man-made consciousness (man-made intelligence), specifically, is supposed to become huge in many fields. A few types of computer-based inte.

Principles of Scientific Management, Frederick Winslow Taylor .docxLacieKlineeb
Principles of Scientific Management, Frederick Winslow Taylor (1911)
Introduction
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, in his address to the Governors at the White House,
prophetically remarked that “The conservation of our national resources is only preliminary to
the larger question of national efficiency.”
The whole country at once recognized the importance of conserving our material
resources and a large movement has been started which will be effective in accomplishing this
object. As yet, however, we have but vaguely appreciated the importance of “the larger question
of increasing our national efficiency.”
We can see our forests vanishing, our water-powers going to waste, our soil being carried
by floods into the sea; and the end of our coal and our iron is in sight. But our larger wastes of
human effort, which go on every day through such of our acts as are blundering, ill-directed; or
inefficient, and which Mr. Roosevelt refers to as a lack of “national efficiency,” are less visible,
less tangible, and are but vaguely appreciated.
We can see and feel the waste of material things. Awkward, inefficient, or ill-directed
movements of men, however, leave nothing visible or tangible behind them. Their appreciation
calls for an act of memory, an effort of the imagination. And for this reason, even though our
daily loss from this source is greater than from our waste of material things, the one has stirred
us deeply, while the other has moved us but little.
As yet there has been no public agitation for “greater national efficiency,” no meetings
have been called to consider how this is to be brought about. And still there are signs that the
need for greater efficiency is widely felt.
The search for better, for more competent men, from the presidents of our great
companies down to our household servants, was never more vigorous than it is now. And more
than ever before is the demand for competent men in excess of the supply.
What we are all looking for, however, is the readymade, competent man; the man whom
some one else has trained. It is only when we fully realize that our duty, as well as our
opportunity, lies in systematically cooperating to train and to make this competent man, instead
of in hunting for a man whom some one else has trained, that we shall be on the road to national
efficiency.
In the past the prevailing idea has been well expressed in the saying that “Captains of
industry are born, not made”; and the theory has been that if one could get the right man,
methods could be safely left to him. In the future it will be appreciated that our leaders must be
trained right as well as born right, and that no great man can (with the old system of personal
management) hope to compete with a number of ordinary men who have been properly
organized so as efficiently to cooperate.
In the past the man has been first; in the future the system must be first. This in no sense,

Current and developing models of integrated behavioral health service delivery have
proven successful for the general population; however, these approaches may not
sufficiently address the unique needs of individuals living in rural and remote areas. For
all communities to benefit from the opportunities that the current trend toward inte-
gration has provided, it is imperative that cultural and contextual factors be considered
determining features in care delivery. Rural integrated primary care practice requires
specific training, expertise, and adjustments to service delivery and intervention to best
meet the needs of rural and underserved communities. In this commentary, the authors
present trends in integrated behavioral health service delivery in rural integrated
primary care settings. Flexible and creative strategies are proposed to promote in-
creased access to integrated behavioral health services, while simultaneously address-
ing patient care needs that arise as a result of the barriers to treatment that are prevalent
in rural communities.
Keywords: integrated behavioral health, integrated primary care, rural, rural health
The need for integrated health care is well
documented. Nearly 70% of primary care ap-
pointments include issues associated with psy-
chosocial factors (Gatchel & Oordt, 2003).
Many patients would prefer to receive behav-
ioral health services in their primary care pro-
vider’s office, as opposed to a specialty mental
health setting (Lang, 2005). Patients in primary
care offices are also more likely to follow
through with a behavioral health referral when
that service is provided in the same office (Slay
& McCleod, 1997). Overall, integrated behav-
ioral health services have been shown to suc-
cessfully enhance health care services and yield
improvements in medical and behavioral health
conditions (Kwan & Nease, 2013).
Integrated care models may be especially im-
pactful in areas where access to specialty care is
limited, such as rural communities. However, a
discussion of the adjustments warranted when
developing integrated behavioral health ser-
vices in rural practice settings is all but absent in
the literature. Significant treatment needs in ru-
ral areas, combined with poor availability of
referral-based services in rural communities, re-
quire effective integrated primary care (IPC) to
be provided in a flexible, patient-tailored, and
community-focused manner. In this paper, we
aim to outline the special considerations neces-
sary for conducting IPC in rural communities
wherein behavioral health providers (BHPs)
may struggle to balance in.

Primary Care Interventions for Prevention and Cessation of Tobacco Use
in Children and Adolescents
US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement
US Preventive Services Task Force
Summary of Recommendations
The USPSTF recommends that primary care clinicians provide interventions, including education or
brief counseling, to prevent initiation of tobacco use among school-aged children and adolescents. B
The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and
harms of primary care–feasible interventions for the cessation of tobacco use among school-aged
children and adolescents.
I
See the Figure for a more detailed summary of the recommendation for clinicians. See the Practice Considerations section for more information on effective
interventions to prevent initiation of tobacco use and for suggestions for practice regarding the I statement. USPSTF indicates US Preventive Services Task Force.
IMPORTANCE Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the US. An estimated
annual 480 000 deaths are attributable to tobacco use in adults, including from secondhand
smoke. It is estimated that every day about 1600 youth aged 12 to 17 years smoke their first
cigarette and that about 5.6 million adolescents alive today will die prematurely from a
smoking-related illness. Although conventional cigarette use has gradually declined among
children in the US since the late 1990s, tobacco use via electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) is
quickly rising and is now more common among youth than cigarette smoking. e-Cigarette
products usually contain nicotine, which is addictive, raising concerns about e-cigarette use
and nicotine addiction in children. Exposure to nicotine during adolescence can harm the
developing brain, which may affect brain function and cognition, attention, and mood; thus,
minimizing nicotine exposure from any tobacco product in youth is important.
OBJECTIVE To update its 2013 recommendation, the USPSTF commissioned a review of the
evidence on the benefits and harms of primary care interventions for tobacco use prevention
and cessation in children and adolescents. The current systematic review newly included
e-cigarettes as a tobacco product.
POPULATION This recommendation applies to school-aged children and adolescents younger
than 18 years.
EVIDENCE ASSESSMENT The USPSTF concludes with moderate certainty that primary
care–feasible behavioral interventions, including education or brief counseling, to prevent
tobacco use in school-aged children and adolescents have a moderate net benefit. The
USPSTF concludes that there is insufficient evidence to determine the balance of benefits
and harms of primary care interventions for tobacco cessation among school-aged children
and adolescents who already smoke, because of a lack of adequately powered studies on
behavioral counseling interventions and a lack of studies on medications.
RECOMMENDATION The USPSTF recommends that.

PRAISE FOR CRUCIAL CONVERSATIONS
"Relationships are the priority of life, and conversations are the
crucial element in profound caring of relationships. This book
helps us to think about what we really want to say. If you want
to succeed in both talking and listening, read this book."
-Dr. Lloyd J. Ogilvie, chaplain, United States Senate
"Important, lucid, and practical, Crucial Conversations is a
book that will make a difference in your life. Learn how to flour
ish in every difficult situation."
-Robert E. Quinn, ME Tracy Collegiate Professor of
OBHRM, University of Michigan Business School
"I was personally and professionally inspired by this book-and
I'm not easily impressed. In the fast-paced world of IT, the success
of our systems, and our business, depends on crucial conversations
we have every day. Unfortunately, because our environment is so
technical, far too often we forget about the 'human systems' that
make or break us. These skills are the missing foundation piece."
-Maureen Burke, manager of training,
Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc.
"The book is compelling. Yes, I found myself in too many of their
examples of what not to do when caught in these worst-of-all
worlds situations! GET THIS BOOK, WHIP OUT A PEN AND
GET READY TO SCRIBBLE MARGIN NOTES FURIOUSLY,
AND PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE THE INVALUABLE
TOOLS THESE AUTHORS PRESENT. I know I did-and it
helped me salvage several difficult situations and repair my
damaged self-esteem in others. I will need another copy pretty
soon. as I'm wearing out the pages in this one!"
-James Belasco. best-selling author of Flight of the Buffalo,
l!l1trl!prl!l1eur. professor. und l!xl!cutive director of the Financial
Tilllrs Knowkdgc Diuloguc
"Crucial Conversations is the most useful self-help book I have
ever read. I'm awed by how insightful, readable, well organized,
and focused it is. I keep thinking: 'If only I had been exposed to
these dialogue skills 30 years ago ... '"
-John Hatch, founder, FINCA International
"One of the greatest tragedies is seeing someone with incredible
talent get derailed because he or she lacks some basic skills.
Crucial Conversations addresses the number one reason execu
tives derail, and it provides extremely helpful tools to operate in
a fast-paced, results-oriented environment."
-Karie A. Willyerd, chief talent officer, Solectron
"The book prescribes, with structure and wit, a way to improve on
the most fundamental element of organizational learning and
growth-honest, unencumbered dialogue between individuals.
There are one or two of the many leadership/management
'thought' books on my shelf that are frayed and dog-eared from
use. Crucial Conversations will no doubt end up in the same con
dition."

Prepare a 2-page interprofessional staff update on HIPAA and appropriate social media use in health care.
Introduction
As you begin to consider the assessment, it would be an excellent choice to complete the Breach of Protected Health Information (PHI) activity. The activity will support your success with the assessment by creating the opportunity for you to test your knowledge of potential privacy, security, and confidentiality violations of protected health information. The activity is not graded and counts towards course engagement.
Health professionals today are increasingly accountable for the use of protected health information (PHI). Various government and regulatory agencies promote and support privacy and security through a variety of activities. Examples include:
· Meaningful use of electronic health records (EHR).
· Provision of EHR incentive programs through Medicare and Medicaid.
· Enforcement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules.
· Release of educational resources and tools to help providers and hospitals address privacy, security, and confidentiality risks in their practices.
Technological advances, such as the use of social media platforms and applications for patient progress tracking and communication, have provided more access to health information and improved communication between care providers and patients.
At the same time, advances such as these have resulted in more risk for protecting PHI. Nurses typically receive annual training on protecting patient information in their everyday practice. This training usually emphasizes privacy, security, and confidentiality best practices such as:
· Keeping passwords secure.
· Logging out of public computers.
· Sharing patient information only with those directly providing care or who have been granted permission to receive this information.
Today, one of the major risks associated with privacy and confidentiality of patient identity and data relates to social media. Many nurses and other health care providers place themselves at risk when they use social media or other electronic communication systems inappropriately. For example, a Texas nurse was recently terminated for posting patient vaccination information on Facebook. In another case, a New York nurse was terminated for posting an insensitive emergency department photo on her Instagram account.
Health care providers today must develop their skills in mitigating risks to their patients and themselves related to patient information. At the same time, they need to be able distinguish between effective and ineffective uses of social media in health care.
This assessment will require you to develop a staff update for the interprofessional team to encourage team members to protect the privacy, confidentiality, and security of patient information.
Preparation
To successfully prepare to complete this assessment, complete the following:
· Review the infographics on protecting PHI provided in the.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

I think that the current method for registration is outdated. To
arrive a patient for services, the technique is currently straight
forward and organized as the flowchart. Additional step could
be taken to increase data transmission and accelerate the overall
registration processes.Process Improvement Flowchart
Determine how the process can be improved
based on the results of your evaluation.
I could improve this approach by asking comprehensive
questions during each patient encounter. This is so I could learn
the registration process as much as possible. Learning through
observation and physically registering patients would be the
most informative Furthermore, this will reduce the number of
calls that must be made when information s missed.
Define metrics and measure the current process. Insert the
metrics and measures below this line.
3. "A process metric is a quantitative indicator of a process's
efficiency and effectiveness. For every observer or creator of a
process, the three most important indicators are inventory, flow
rate, and flow time (Cachon & Terwiesch, 2020, Chapter 2).
Improve the process by employing process improvement
techniques. Make a process flowchart of the revised procedure
using Word, PowerPoint, Vizio, or Excel. If you take
measurements of a process and then use your expertise to
predict how it will function in the future, you will succeed.
Use process improvement techniques to improve the process.
Create a flowchart of the improved process using
Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Visio, or Excel. Use your
professional judgment to ascertain how the future process will

Patients at the clinic must wait in long, well-organized lines.
Most hospitals still manually document and identify patients.
People should bring their initial hospitalization patient record
book. This book is an excellent resource for earlier therapies.
Duly because this information is difficult to come by, many
individuals forget or never learn about the past. It will take a
long to process all the patients in the queue (Baek et al., 2018).
Patients are then required to transport the book between hospital
units. Doctors and specialists update these volumes. They
accessed the hospital's information channels.
5. Six sigma is used to determine the most crucial component of
each flowchart. Concerns are raised in the report about prompt,
patient-centered care, and service quality. These flaws were
caused by the previous patient registration and record-keeping
procedure. This method resulted in the loss of critical data and
impeded service delivery.
EHR, electronic health record, makes identifying and recording
patient information easier (Atasoy, Greenwood, & McCullough,
2019). There will be fewer bottlenecks and more proactive
treatment as a result. It will also make stored data more
accessible and interpretable with less corruption.
The new method eliminates the need to manually search for and
enter patient data. This saves the physician time while searching
for a patient's name. After entering the patient's name, they can
access the patient's record. This patient should be registered.
They must discuss their history and hospital visits. Before being
transported, the patient must wait for their name to be called.
Doctors can enter a patient's name to obtain all pertinent
information and reasoning.
This novel method will reduce hospital admissions. This method
shortens wait times and improves service. If the doctor responds
quickly to the patient's needs, his or her therapy will improve. It
will keep the patient from worsening while he or she waits for
assistance. The method enhances data storage and retrieval,
hence increasing productivity.
A new piece of technology will be deployed as part of the
upgrade. EHRs improve treatment efficiency and health
outcomes. The procedural flowchart will be changed to
emphasize names and make identification easier. When
evaluating patient records, doctors exclusively utilize patient
names. They can improve patient treatment by keeping the
information up to date. The procedure will improve patient care
while decreasing errors.
