When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.

 

From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.

 

As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.

 

To Prepare:

 

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the web article Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse Execs.
  • Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or observed.

Among the Resources in this module is the Rutherford (2008) article Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice? In this article, the author recounts a visit to a local hospital to view the recent implementation of a new coding system.

 

During the visit, one of the nurses commented to her, “We document our care using standardized nursing languages but we don’t fully understand why we do” (Rutherford, 2008, para. 1).

 

How would you respond to a comment such as this one?

 

To Prepare:

 

  • Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources, particularly Rutherford, M. (2008) Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice?
  • Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
  • Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed.

 

The Assignment:

 

In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:

 

  • Explain how you would inform this nurse (and others) of the importance of standardized nursing terminologies.
  • Describe the benefits and challenges of implementing standardized nursing terminologies in nursing practice. Be specific and provide examples.
  • Be sure to support your paper with peer-reviewed research on standardized nursing terminologies that you consulted from the Walden Library.
  • 3 to 4 References  less than 5 years.

How did the ideology of Manifest Destiny contribute to the Mexican War of 1846? Why did the Mexican War of 1846 take place? Was the war necessary? Was it beneficial to the United States? What does this war tell us about this period of American history? Was it God’s plan that the United States extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific, or were imperialists looking for a way to defend what they planned to do anyway? 

Using the Internet or the Strayer databases, select a different company of your choice but this time analyze the Statement of Cash Flows for that chosen company.

Be sure to interpret this information in terms of the long-term health of the company. Provide support for your response.

 
 
 

Assignment Content

 

  1. You are part of the Sheriff’s Office that supports a mid-size city of 400,000 people. Your jail holds 2,000 prisoners, several of whom are awaiting trial, while others are pending release. Your records system has just been taken hostage through ransomware for bitcoin worth about 5 million dollars. As a result, you have no visibility to who your detainees are or why they are being held. Your jail medical records have also been seized. Because it is a single network, you also realize that the records of your personnel (corrections officers, deputies, and other employees/workers) have also been seized. Last week you fired a worker who was openly disgruntled, you realize that this person had privileged access. Although you are not completely sure, you suspect, that part of your network security was left open, potentially allowing the intrusion. You have been asked to create a solution proposal for the breach.

    Create a  6-page proposal detailing your solution that includes a cover page, table of contents, and reference page. Imagery and graphics are optional, but may be used. Consider the following in your proposal:

    • What is your response?
    • How do you gain control of your records?
    • How do you prevent this from occurring again?
    • Who do you alert?
    • What privacy compromises may have occurred?
    • Do you choose to pay the money, and who are you accountable to?
    • What processes for employee termination and privileged user access need to be in place?
    • What network defense and offense for information systems can you implement?
    • What Privileged Access Management options need to be implemented to prevent future risks?

 Terrorists are now using social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter to promote propaganda and recruit new members. Do you believe that social media outlets are doing enough to combat terrorism? Why, or why not? What additional measures should they take to deter the use of their platforms for terrorist activity? 

 

 

2.   Global terrorist organizations use improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to inflict damage and to instill fear in society. In many countries and wars overseas, the use if IEDs is quite common. However, in the United States, the use of IEDs is quite rare. Given the ease at which an IED can be manufactured, why do you think gangs, criminals, and homegrown terrorists do not use them more frequently in the United States? Do you think we will see a change in the frequency of IED use in the United States? 

 

3.   Select Hurricane Katrina, the Boston Marathon bombings, or another recent disaster or terrorist event that has happened in the United States. What was one nongovernmental organization that assisted with the incident, and what resources (personnel and supplies) did they provide? 

 

4. 

Consider the scenario below.

The northwestern United States has experienced a blackout. Washington, Oregon, and Idaho are all without power. Assume your state and jurisdiction is located in either Washington, Oregon, or Idaho. The unusually hot summer for the area has resulted in high electrical consumption, which has overloaded the electricity grid. Today, the core servers and remote sites began to fail. The power system in the area experienced a major loss of all systems. Within 1 hour, nearly one third of each state was affected. Throughout the blackout areas, businesses shut down, rioting became an issue, traffic became gridlocked, people were stranded in elevators, and the 911 system became jammed with all of the response calls. Responders are having a hard time responding because of the traffic gridlock. Media outlets are reporting that the power outage is because of a terrorist attack, even though it is unknown.

 

 

During the incident, please describe the actions that your jurisdiction would take utilizing the multiagency coordination system (MACS). Discuss how the MACS would prioritize resources. As you respond to your classmates, discuss why you think they will choose this prioritization. Explain your rationale.

 

Please keep then number, this is not require no APA.  these are Discussion boards.
