Profiling involves allowing the physical evidence to reveal to an investigator what behaviors occurred, then thinking about what was intended by the commission of those behaviors. It has been proven time and time again that the majority of investigators are chronically unable to overcome their own perspective when faced with one or more disturbing violent crime scenes. How do you feel the investigative community can overcome these negative outcomes?

Company Name: HealthCare Strategies Inc
Challenges Faced by HealthCare Strategies Inc

Background

HealthCare Strategies Inc. was founded in 2005 to deliver a wide variety of healthcare and information technology services to home health agencies, hospices, hospitals, and other health-care providers in a cost-effective manner. The company focuses on the home health and hospice industry, offering services such as systems development; training and support; billing, collecting, and other financial processes and consulting. HealthCare Strategies also recently began offering agency management software products to clients.

In order for the company to provide services to clients located around the kingdom, it must be able to deliver reliable and secure access to its server-based databases. Its clients rely on access to HealthCare Strategies systems to enter and view data from remote locations such as hospitals and clinics. They need to access a variety of applications to support essential business processes such as billing.

In early May 2010, following several days of heavy rains, a devastating flood hit the area of Jeddah, where HealthCare Strategies’ headquarters building is located. The president of the company Mr. Wurm said, if he had parked his truck where he usually does in the building’s parking garage, the entire truck would have been under water. The force of the water moved cars and dumpsters. The flood, the worst in the area in 30 years, made national news and forced officials at HealthCare Strategies to do some quick thinking.

Although water reached within a few feet of the company’s offices on the second floor of the building, they were not flooded out. It was also fortunate that building’s electrical power and T1 line never went down. The employees had no way of getting to and from work because the building itself was virtually inaccessible. “We had to figure out what we were going to do,” Wurm says. “We didn’t know how long we would be out of the office” and how employees who handle time-sensitive billing applications would be able to do their jobs. “Then we realized that there should have been a system to take care of such situation,” Wurm says. The decision was made to let the company’s employee?s work from home until the floodwaters subsided.

Wurn also highlights that clients must be pleased with HealthCare Strategies that should have been able to continue its operations even during the flood or any other natural disaster. Should there be a system in place, company employees will be in a position to work from home, accessing information from the HealthCare Strategies database. The company’s health-care clients will also be able to connect to HealthCare Strategies systems and conduct important business operations such as invoicing and billing.

HealthCare Strategies? operations slowly and gradually interrupted and it becomes difficult to estimate how much that downtime has cost the company. Besides that there was a severe problem for the clients that HealthCare Strategies was not in any position to support them. In industry there is no compromise on security and availability of the data.

A big task is ahead for the IT Department at HealthCare Strategies, was to restart all the services and functionalities according to their needs and priorities, and need to develop and implement a Business Continuity Plan (BCP). You as member of IT department, have three weeks? time to overcome these issues, by coming out with a strategy, putting into a plan, providing testing schedules, setting up implementation strategies and eventually documenting a project close-out to ensure project reappraisal had been done to deem the project being successfully completed.

Learning Outcomes: At the end of this project, students should be able to:

Evaluate the corporate functions according to their needs and requirements.

Coming up with a comprehensive BCP plan covering all aspects of corporate to fully functionalize its activities and processes based on their priorities.

Justify whether you require another site to shift your corporate operations temporarily or you need to setup a new site permanently.

Individual Deliverables (Research & Documentation by individual member)

Evaluate the corporate operations and functions according to their needs and requirements and setup a plan mentioning most critical to less critical operations to run your corporate function properly to satisfy its customers.

Coming up with a comprehensive, BCP plan covering all aspects of corporate to fully functionalize its activities and processes based on their priorities set in step 1.

Justify whether you require another site to shift your corporate operations temporarily or you need to setup a new site permanently.

Notes:
All above deliverables should include proper evaluation and justification.
Use appropriate diagrams or other details wherever possible to illustrate your justifications and explanations.

Deliverables

Your areas of responsibility must be managed and organized per the deliverables with each member of a group being responsible for one of the deliverables stated above.

Context
As in acute nursing, emergencies do arise in the community/public health arena. These emergencies can take the form of manmade or natural disasters. Health care professionals have had to increase their awareness of their duty to care during these situations. The need for planning and preparing for these possible events is being reinforced (Tomczyk, et al., 2008). Public health nurses bring specific skills to disaster response. Their roles can range from first responders to policy developers.

Assessment Instructions
Preparation
Suppose you have been invited to participate in a roundtable discussion meeting on the development of a community response to crises. To prepare for this discussion, you have been asked to research ways that other communities have provided health care services during crisis situations, identify best practices, and develop a nursing response for providing health care services. You would be presenting your research and nursing response to the roundtable panel during the meeting.
Select two communities that have suffered a crisis of some kind within ten years of each other. For example, you might choose to look at New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina in comparison to New Jersey and Hurricane Sandy. You might address the 2011 tornado outbreak and compare the response of Joplin, Missouri with the response of Birmingham, Alabama. Or, you might choose to look at the responses to volcano eruptions in Hawaii as compared to Washington State. You are not limited to natural disasters; feel free to explore environmental disasters and outbreaks of disease. Try to choose the type of crisis situation that could occur within your own community.
Once you have selected your two communities and their comparable crisis situations, look on the Internet for scholarly journal articles on how health care professionals responded to the crises.
Requirements
For this assessment, create a PowerPoint presentation that examines provision of health care services related to community crises, from a nursing perspective. In your PowerPoint, address the following:
Compare the different approaches of two communities for responding to a community crisis.
Explain how the crisis situation in each community affected the overall health of the community.
Describe potential obstacles in your own community to providing health care services related to community crises.
Explain current practices in your own community for providing health care services related to community crises.
Recommend an evidence-based nursing response for providing health care services related to community crises.
Your nursing response does not need to be overly detailed. In real life, a nursing response would be the work of a committee or another group, based on the research and recommendations of others.
Your nursing response should provide foundational research and recommendations based on evidence. Consider things such as triage points, communication methods, caring for staff, providing basic necessities such as food and water, use of other organizations for shelter, and so on.
Use the Notes section of each PowerPoint slide to expand your points and provide supporting evidence.
