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.

FINAL PROJECT: Case Study This project is a 10-12 page paper; double spaced, 12 point font, excluding the separate cover page and references page(s). Specific statements from supportive sources should be cited in the narrative of the paper as well as identified in the references. General references should also be included in the references. APA citation format is required. Grading will be based on the thoroughness of the examination of each segment, strength of the basis for decisions and supportive sources. Ethical dilemmas permeate the criminal justice. At every level, in each segment of the system, people are exercising discretion that will impact on the fate of an individual and/or the security of the community. Incongruous laws, regulations, policies and practices create conflicts and distort the basis upon which judgments are made. Very often these conflicts result in an ethical dilemma. Which is the appropriate course of action? What is the moral/ethical rational for the decisions that were made? What purposes or principles are served? This project will ask you to consider a sequence of decisions (do, or not do) all of which contribute, directly or indirectly the final scene. For each of the four (4) scenarios , your assignment is to: Examine each situation and describe the ethical and/or moral question, Describe what you believe to be the motivation of the actor and the potential consequences of BOTH options, Identify the decision you believe the actor SHOULD make, and Provide the ethical basis for your decision. NOTE: The scenarios are sequential. However, each decision must be considered separately and not be influenced by earlier decisions and/or actions. For instance, the decision to fund/not fund a new prison does not impact on a later decision to sentence a convicted felon to incarceration. The sentencing dilemma is independent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The Parole Board As the chair of the parole board, Robert knows the state prisons are critically overcrowded. Advocates are threatening the corrections system with Federal suits. One alternative is to broaden the parole eligibility criteria to allow more inmates to be released to community-based supervision. However, reviewing the current “risk assessment” results, Robert is concerned that any further relaxation of standards may result in the release of inmates more likely to re-offend than he considers “safe”. Robert just received a call from the Governor asking him what the parole board can do to ease the overcrowding that will be the basis of the federal law suits. The Governor reminds Robert that if these suits are successful, inmates will be released under a federal process outside the parole board’s control. What does Robert, as chair of the parole board, tell the Governor? 2. The Warden William is the warden of a century-old correctional facility. Despite his bes.

Final Paper Your good friends have just adopted a four-year-old child. At this point, the only socialization decision they have made is that the child is going to preschool. Imagine that you are an expert in your chosen field. Your friends have come to you for advice and to devise a plan to raise their child. They ask you to be frank with them and give them specific examples to support your opinions. They are determined to raise this child to the best of their ability. Since they are new parents, they need advice on everything! The Final Paper should include the following: Summarize Bronfenbrenner's ecological model and describe why it is important for them to be aware of this theory. Suggest and explain a parenting style/philosophy (authoritarian, authoritative, or permissive) that you believe will be most beneficial for the child and the family. Explain which childcare (nanny, center-based, or family-based care) option (before/during/after preschool) you think is best for the child and why. Be sure to include discussion of the social factors that influence the likelihood of the family selecting a particular form of childcare. Share specific suggestions, including at least two to implement safe technology use in the home. Explain how the media can (both positively and negatively) influence the child. Discuss the importance of culture and ethnicity in the development of the self-concept. Share your ideas of ways that the new parents can create opportunities for the child to learn about his or her culture.

Final Paper Your final paper should discuss similarities and differences between the human language and animal communication systems. You should compare and contrast the two systems in one or more of the following aspects: · Mechanism – how individuals produce and perceive communicative signals · Ontogeny – how individuals learn and become mature communicators · Function – how properties of the communicative system affect the individuals’ chance of survival and reproduction · Phylogeny – how properties of the communicative system have evolved over time · Complexity – how complex the communicative signals can be Your final paper should be around 2,000 words. As for formatting, I recommend 12 point font, double spaced,1 inch margin all around. As for citation, direct quotes from class materials are prohibited. You should explain or describe them in your own words. If you incorporate materials from elsewhere, you must cite your sources properly. You can choose any citation style (e.g. APA, MLA, IEEE) as long as you are consistent throughout the paper. I will grade your paper according to the following rubrics: - Ideas and Content: whether your paper contained insightful theses supported by relevant, accurate, and specific evidence from appropriate sources - Organization: whether your paper followed a clear and logical train of thought - Originality: whether the ideas are expressed in your own words - Conventions: whether you used correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, citation (if any) This assignment pertains to learning objectives CLO4, CLO5, and GELO2: · Understand how to analyze animal communication systems in terms of the four explanatory principles of ethology: adaptation, mechanism, ontogeny, and phylogeny. · List the essential design features of human language, and to explain how our language differs from the communication systems of other animal species. · Distinguish science from pseudo-science. Here are some information might be helpful: Q: You suggested that we compare/contrast in terms of mechanism, ontogeny, function, phylogeny, complexity. How many of those aspects should we address in the paper -- just one, all of them, or any number of them? A: Any number of them. I recommend that you specify what aspects of communication you plan to discuss early on in the paper (e.g. in the introductory paragraph). Q: Do we pick just one animal (e.g. bottlenose dolphins) and compare its language with humans or can we discuss more than one? A: As many animals as you find relevant to the discussion. To be more precise, the goal of the assignment is to let you think about how human language is similar to and different from languages of other animals in general. That is, the focus is on humans rather than a particular animal of your interest. So a structure that I recommend is first list several properties of human language that you want to focus on and then find examples of one or more animals to compare/contrast for each propert.

Final Project (due 12/17/18) Whereas the midterm asked you to be reactive to a problem or deficiency in communication as related to some aspect of organizational life, the final project asks you to be proactive and creative in redesigning communication with one aspect of the organization’s external environment. This environment can include any one of the follow: • Citizens, patients, clients, or other constituents or service recipients (just one of these) • A collaborating organization • Another stakeholders as appropriate This redesigned communication plan should be based in the mission and functions of the organization, and should be realistic in terms of implementation. This paper should briefly discuss the organization’s mission and functions, considerations of appropriate communication with the focal aspect of the environment given that mission, an ideal set of communication practices with stakeholders (including attention to methods, frequency, and other concrete details), and possible difficulties with implementing this plan. The final project will be graded based on analytical strength (clarity and depth of arguments), use of course material (how assigned readings are used to make key points and support your assertions), and stylistic considerations (quality of writing, grammar and spelling, adherence to APA Style guidelines, etc.). This project should include a cover page, between 7–8 full pages of text (2,200-2,500 words), and a properly formatted list of references. .

Final Paper Section Two [Of the five sections of a political science research paper, the structure of Section Two is the most variable. The heading in Section Two will be specific to the content of the chapter, as it is related to the research topic and proposed study. However, the following elements should be included in Section Two, regardless of the subsections. Section Two is a presentation of a review of the literature. The researcher accomplishes three things during the process of developing Section Two: a) the researcher develops subject matter expertise in the topics relating to his/her research, b) the researcher identifies and substantiates a gap in the body of knowledge (your topic) that will be addressed by the study, and c) the researcher develops a conceptual framework which informs the research design. Section Two shall contain the following content (although headings may vary): The introduction to Section Two tells the reader what the chapter is to be about, and tells the reader how the chapter will be organized. According to APA sixth edition, this section should not have a heading. *Review and Discussion of the Literature (the exact headings will depend on the content) The researcher presents and discusses key literature related to his/her topic and makes the connection between these and his/her research topic. The sections in the Review and Discussion of the Literature should demonstrate the researcher’s mastery of the literature in his/her area(s) of study. The subsections throughout Section 2 should be descriptive of the material being shared. *A synthesis of the literature should also be included. The synthesis is a purposeful organization of information that reflects the researcher’s critical thinking that supports the direction that this specific research takes. The synthesis provides the foundation for the conceptual framework which is a narrative (and visual, if desired) picture of how the literature examination and subsequent critical thinking combine to form a “whole” which represents the researcher’s intellectual approach to the study. As a result, it is clear to both the researcher and readers how the topics discussed are seen in relationship to each other from the unique perspective of the researcher, and supported by the literature. This synthesis may be presented in a variety of ways, but often is topological or chronological, or both.] Conceptual Framework [This section should discuss, in narrative form, how the researcher sees the relationships between, and orientation of, the theories, models, constructs, contexts, researcher assumptions, etc. explored during the literature review and how these fit together in the researcher’s thinking. This provides the researcher with an opportunity to craft his/her own unique approach to the research or to confirm that their proposed research matches existing research by presenting a coherent logic for the proposed research. It is highly recommended that a graphic r.

Final Term Project Requirements For this project you will conduct research on and analyze a specific C Suite leader and a major business decision that was made by that leader. To begin you need to select your topic with the following steps: 1. Select a C Suite leader to profile. Pick someone who is visible in the public eye. The CEO of a public American company can be a good choice. Part of your research will be to read press and news reports on this person so it is a good idea to check on their public visibility before finalizing your selection. CNBC.com, YouTube, Fortune.com and WSJ.com are all good sources for interviews and videos on business leaders. 2. Identify a major strategic marketing decision the company made while that person was in their C- Suite role. Common strategic marketing decisions are launching a new product, acquiring a business/entering a new market, rebranding a product, launching a major marketing campaign. Example: Elon Musk CEO of Tesla oversees the decision to launch a self driving car. For the project you will conduct research on the executive, the company and the business decision and use your findings to write a report in which you: 1. Describe the leadership background and leadership style of the executive (what is their leadership experience, what style of leadership do they demonstrate, what are previous successes/failures) 2. Analyze the strategic business situation relevant to this decision: What forces were driving the company to take this action? What problems do you think they were trying to solve with this decision? Use data as much as possible. 3. Take the role of a member of the Board of Directors for the company and identify three risks that the company should address in making a commitment to this course of action (e.g. risk that culture of acquisition will not fit into company, risk that leader is repeating a decision from the past that did not turn out well, etc). Course Concepts: 1. Daniel Goleman - a leading authority on emotional intelligence – has identified six effective leadership styles: a) Pacesetting: “Do it my way”. b) Commanding: “Do it because I say so”. c) Visionary: “Let’s remind ourselves of the larger purpose”. d) Affiliative: “People first, task second”. e) Democratic: “Let’s work it out together”. f) Coaching: “Let me help you develop” 2. Who are the stakeholders for his company in this case? Can the relationships with any of these groups be improved? What actions should be taken by leaders? 3. How this case situation required the leaders to use IQ/RQ/EQ skills. 4. Considering the way in which C Suite executives make decisions, and the factors that drive good/bad decision making. 5. We have examined the use of data in making decisions, and read about how Gap uses data to make some marketing decisions. 6. Perils and Pitfalls of Leading Change 7. What kind of leader was him? S.

The computer worm attacked programmable logic controllers and is believed to have been created by the Israeli intelligence and the USA CIA. The virus sent self-destroy instructions to the PLCs, leading to the damage of a number of significant centrifuges in the nuclear center and thus bringing the losses to the attention of the management of the center. The virus was programmed to selfdestroy in 2012; however, others, also referred to as its babies, have been spotted. The ‘babies’ of the virus have certain qualities that are attributed to the original Stuxnet virus. The viruses are believed to have been derived from the Stuxnet Virus. Therefore, in my final research project, I aim at looking at how the virus operated, the different types of babies it has, and how the virus has affected warfare. .

Final Research Project - Securing IoT Devices: What are the Challenges? Internet security, in general, is a challenge that we have been dealing with for decades. It is a regular topic of discussion and concern, but a relatively new segment of internet security is getting most attention—internet of things (IoT). So why is internet of things security so important? The high growth rate of IoT should get the attention of cybersecurity professionals. The rate at which new technology goes to market is inversely proportional to the amount of security that gets designed into the product. According to IHS Markit, “The number of connected IoT devices worldwide will jump 12 percent on average annually, from nearly 27 billion in 2017 to 125 billion in 2030.” IoT devices are quite a bit different from other internet-connected devices such as laptops and servers. They are designed with a single purpose in mind, usually running minimal software with minimal resources to serve that purpose. Adding the capability to run and update security software is often not taken into consideration. Due to the lack of security integrated into IoT devices, they present significant risks that must be addressed. IoT security is the practice of understanding and mitigating these risks. Let’s consider the challenges of IoT security and how we can address them. Some security practitioners suggest that key IoT security steps include: 1. Make people aware that there is a threat to security; 2. Design a technical solution to reduce security vulnerabilities; 3. Align the legal and regulatory frameworks; and 4. Develop a workforce with the skills to handle IoT security. Final Assignment - Project Plan (Deliverables): 1) Address each of the FOURIoT security steps listed above in terms of IoT devices. 2) Explain in detail, in a step-by-step guide, how to make people more aware of the problems associated with the use of IoT devices.
