Prepare a workplace brief (8-10 double-spaced pages) to address a privacy breach that occurred in a health care organization. Include the consequences of failure to act and evidence-based recommendations for addressing the breach. Introduction Health care is one of the most heavily regulated major industries in the United States. Leaders are challenged to stay current and to comply with federal, state, and local laws and their associated regulations. Health care organizations are also responsible to meet industry standards. In some cases, payers equate meeting industry standards with achieving and maintaining accreditation. In fact, many payers consider accreditation a minimum condition of participation. In addition, individual licensure and certification requirements establish basic expectations for health care leaders' professional conduct. In summary, health care leaders are responsible to: 1. Meet ethical personal, professional conduct, certification, and licensure expectations. 2. Comply with local, state, and federal health care and human resources laws. 3. Provide evidence of compliance with existing regulations and scan the field for emerging regulations. 4. Identify and meet appropriate accrediting body standards (for example, Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals standards). As an individual’s health care leadership career advances, so does the corresponding level of accountability. Not knowing the laws or regulations is not an excuse for not complying with them. This assessment allows you to demonstrate your knowledge of and skills relating to compliance concepts, and governmental and regulatory agencies that oversee health care service delivery, billing, and general operations. You will also have the opportunity to apply the components necessary to initiate and maintain an effective compliance program. Finally, you will consider relevant human resources laws that may pertain to your compliance recommendations. Instructions In this assessment, you are assuming the role of an early careerist in risk management and quality improvement at one of Vila Health's community-based hospitals. Vila Health is a medium-sized system of health operating facilities in Minnesota and Wisconsin. You are working on a team-based initiative under the supervision of the Vila Health Chief Compliance Officer. Your role is to assist in addressing a specific compliance risk regarding a breach of privacy and a potential HIPAA violation. A Vila Health employee has disclosed—without prior written authorization—a patient's protected personal health information. Here is the information the team has collected about the privacy breach and potential HIPAA violations to date. A Vila Health supervisor instructed an employee to obtain pre-authorization for an upcoming surgical procedure for a patient. The Vila Health employee submitted confidential, protected health care information about the patient to the insurance company. The Member Services Representati.

In this module, we explore how sexual identity impacts the nature of friendship for all of us. With the legalization of gay marriages and rise of alternative unions, as well as the sociocultural prevalence of much wider acceptance of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer identity definitions in society, we are witnessing expanded definitions, beliefs, and values regarding sexual self-identity and the dynamics of friendship. Philosopher Michael Foucault argues that we have an opportunity to expand our understanding of friendship, beyond the state of the current realm, where our connections remain quite limited: “Society and the institutions which frame it have limited the possibility of relationships (to marriage) because a rich, relational world would be very complex to manage” (p. 207). Your initial post should be at least 250 words and must provide a minimum of one cited reference in APA style. For assistance with APA style formatting, visit the Library or the Excelsior OWL . Please answer one of the following: How do you perceive changes in social stereotypes, issues, and judgments regarding sexualities as potentially impacting changes in friendship, in the relationships, cultural expressions, and understandings of friendships? Do you think that the social expansion of acceptance of "LGBTQ" identities and relationships has an impact upon the dynamics of friendship generally in the society? Do you think that this has changed your own perspective? .

Follow your instructor’s guidelines in terms of word count and content. The most visible manifestation of the Renaissance comes from artistic genius and innovation, but the defining feature of the period is an outlook or worldview called humanism. Both of these developed in a particular set of circumstances, a unique historical context that characterized the northern Italian city-states and that we call the Renaissance. Their dominance of Mediterranean trade made these Italian cities into prosperous commercial centers where powerful merchants displaced the old landed aristocracy in positions of power and influence. The resulting social structure bore little resemblance to the traditional ordered society of the Middle Ages. Another point of uniqueness was Italian cities’ relatively independent political development that led first to republican forms and then to despotism. In the process, they laid the foundations for modern political thought. Of these two sets of circumstances, the political and the economic, which do you think was most important in creating an environment ripe for the Renaissance to flourish? Why? .

In this lab, you will observe the time progression of industrialization and human development to help you write up a scientific paper that centers on the following: If current human development does not change, will groundwater sustainability be affected? Explain your observations. Human Impacts on the Sustainability of Groundwater Sustainability is based on a simple principle: Everything that is needed for survival and well-being depends either directly or indirectly on the natural environment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, while also helping to fulfill the social and economic requirements of present and future generations. Part 1 : Background Information Planet Earth’s surface is over 70% water, but less than 1% of the water on Earth is considered accessible, usable freshwater for sustaining humans’ and other organisms’ lives. Of the accessible freshwater, approximately 99% is located in aquifers, natural underground water chambers, and other groundwater sources. Unfortunately, humans are depleting the aquifers faster than they can be recharged by the hydrological cycle. Therefore, three quarters of groundwater is considered nonrenewable. Conditions The main reason we using groundwater resources mainly for drinking and irrigation. As a result, this not only decreases an important source of freshwater—it also can cause pollution of that groundwater by saltwater intrusion. The recharge rate of groundwater is further hindered by land clearing and deforestation caused by human development. When land is cleared for human development, more flooding occurs, the transpiration rate (the amount of water that evaporates into the atmosphere from plants) is reduced, and rainwater is inhibited from adequately percolating (penetrating the soil) into the ground to allow for aquifers and groundwater to be recharged. Figure below shows Saltwater Intrusion : (Wright & Boorse, 2010) Impacts Forty percent of the world’s food is produced via irrigation. As a result, if the current rate of groundwater usage continues, food production could be drastically reduced worldwide. This reduction in food supply would be detrimental in sustaining the projected worldwide human population of over 10 billion within the next 50 years. Part 2: Timeline Use the Hydrologic Cycle Figure below to understand the impact of industrialization and human development on ground water over 3 centuries. (Wright & Boorse, 2010) The table below shows the impacts : Reference : Wright, R. T., & Boorse, D. F. (2010). Environmental science: Toward a sustainable future . (11th ed.)

In this lab, you will gather data about CO 2 emissions using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Web site (Earth System Research Laboratory, n.d.) to help you write up a scientific report centered around known phenomena of CO 2 emissions, related to the following question: Would you expect to see an increase or decrease in CO 2 emissions in the data over the past 40 years? Why? Part 1 : Introduction The natural balance that occurs between global atmospheric cooling and warming processes provides an important contribution to the Earth’s varied climates. Troposphere gases Planetary albedo from clouds low in the troposphere, sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) from active volcanoes, snow, and ice all reflect incoming solar radiation back into space. This causes a cooling effect on climates within a geographical area. Clouds high in the troposphere and greenhouse gases such as water vapor(H 2 O), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) , methane (CH 4 ) , and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) have a warming effect. Along with the solar activity, these cooling and warming processes help ensure that the planet’s average surface temperature is a net value that is above freezing, helping to ensure that life is possible. Theory on CO 2 Emissions It has been hypothesized that anthropogenic effects (conditions caused by human activity) that are associated with industry, agriculture, and fossil fuel use have enhanced these warming processes by contributing greenhouse gases such as N 2 O, CH 4 ,and CO 2 into the troposphere. As a result, CO 2 is believed to contribute the most to the atmospheric warming process. Pollution Pollution is a substance that produces a detrimental change in the environment because of its composition and abundance. Anthropogenic sources of CO 2 fit this description because of the perception that there is evidence of a positive correlation between the increases in anthropogenic CO 2 and increases in temperature. In turn, as temperatures increase, climates can change worldwide, unbalancing ecosystems across the globe. Strategies Strategies and prediction models can be used to decrease or eliminate the effects that are associated with a particular pollutant. First, the cause of the pollution must be identified. Then, scientists can create innovate ways to reduce or eliminate its production. Part 2: Earth System Research Laboratory Click on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Earth System Research Laboratory, Global Monitoring Division Website. or https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/obop/ (Earth System Research Laboratory, n.d.).

Inferential Analysis Chapter 20 NUR 6812Nursing Research Florida National University Introduction - Inferential Analysis We will discuss analysis of variance and regression, which are technically part of the same family of statistics known as the general linear method but are used to achieve different analytical goals ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used so often that Iversen and Norpoth (1987) said they once had a student who thought this was the name of an Italian statistician. You can think of analysis of variance as a whole family of procedures beginning with the simple and frequently used t-test and becoming quite complicated with the use of multiple dependent variables (MANOVA, to be explained later in this chapter) and covariates. Although the simpler varieties of these statistics can actually be calculated by hand, it is assumed that you will use a statistical software package for your calculations. If you want to see how these calculations are done, you could try to compute a correlation, chi-square, t-test, or ANOVA yourself (see Yuker, 1958; Field, 2009), but in general it is too time consuming and too subject to human error to do these by hand. IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGY Several terms are used in these analyses that you need to be familiar with to understand the analyses themselves and the results. Many will already be familiar to you. Statistical significance: This indicates the probability that the differences found are a result of error, not the treatment. Stated in terms of the P value, the convention is to accept either a 1% (P ≤ 0.01), or 1 out of 100, or 5% (P ≤ 0.05), or 5 out of 100, possibility that any differences seen could have been due to error (Cortina & Dunlap, 2007). Research hypothesis: A research hypothesis is a declarative statement of the expected relationship between the dependent and independent variable(s). Null hypothesis: The null hypothesis, based on the research hypothesis, states that the predicted relationships will not be found or that those found could have occurred by chance, meaning the difference will not be statistically significant. Effect size: This is defined by Cortina and Dunlap as “the amount of variance in one variable accounted for by another in the sample at hand” (2007, p. 231). Effect size estimates are helpful adjuncts to significance testing. An important limitation, however, is that they are heavily influenced by the type of treatment or manipulation that occurred and the measures that are used. Confidence intervals: Although sometimes suggested as an adjunct or replacement for the significance level, confidence intervals are determined in part by the alpha (significance level) (Cortina & Dunlap, 2007). Likened to a margin of error, the confidence intervals indicate the range within which the true difference between means may lie. A narrow confidence interval implies high precision; we can specify believable values within a narrow range ...

At this point it is appropriate to focus on factors external to the organization and to view fi rm performance from an industrial organization perspective. Internal factors are considered later in the process and in future chapters. Each business operates among a group of companies that produces compet- ing products or services known as an industry. The concept of an industry is a simple one, but it is often confused in everyday conversations. The term industry does not refer to a single company or specifi c fi rms in general. For example, in the statement, “A new industry is moving to the community,” the word industry should be replaced by company or fi rm. Although usually differences exist among competitors, each industry has its own set of combat rules governing such issues as product quality, pricing, and distribution. This is especially true for industries that contain a large number of fi rms offering standardized products and services. Most competitors—but not all—follow the rules. For example, most service stations in the United States generally offer regular unleaded, midgrade, and premium unleaded gasoline at prices that do not differ substantially from those at nearby stations. Breaking the so-called rules and charting a different strategic course might be possible, but may not be desirable. As such, it is important for strategic managers to understand the structure of the industry(s) in which their fi rms operate before decid- ing how to compete successfully. Defi ning a fi rm’s industry is not always an easy task. In a perfect world, each fi rm would operate in one clearly defi ned industry; however, ma ...

Individual Focused Learning for Better Memory Retention Through Experience CONFIDENTIAL GCU – For Internal Use Only 1 Literature Review: Background to the Problem 10/9/2019 Cognitive theory focuses on experiences in three looping processes, comprehension, memory, and application According to Goossens (2020), cognitive theories in learning is affected by biology, environment, and social constructs Bottom-up and top-down influences define experience of learning and thus memory and its retention (Tyng et al., 2017) Comprehension is interpretative with different people and methodologies of gaining skills require support for better retention of knowledge (Ford et al., 2020) CONFIDENTIAL GCU – For Internal Use Only Objective: The outline on this slide is used in the Prospectus to develop the Background of the Study in Chapter 1 and the Background of the Problem Space in Chapter 2. Slide Requirements: Use either a bulleted format or table format Describe what is already understood about the problem - Historically, memory retention is dependent on biology, social determinants, and educational roles (Berger et al., 2012) Present findings from prior research related to the history of the problem space – individual are unique by circumstances, cognition development is different for each person hence memory retention and its experiences are unique. In education sector today, curriculum caters to meeting outcomes of the larger group with less focus on individual pace of learning. Focus on: When the problem started – generalization of education and learning environment through general curriculum tends to segregate some learners What has been discovered about the problem - According to Tyng et al. (2017), “the effects of emotion on learning and memory are not always univalent” it points to the fact that progression is a personal journey such that how learning is understood is directly linked to how it is taught, the environment it is taught in, and the emotional attachments of information processing. Therefore, productivity in learning can only be attained by training and task definition which can be versatile form one person to another. The current state of the problem – Development of separate special classes for students with learning challenge is beneficial but with poor education systems, the program could be detrimental for the future especially in self teaching learners. With guidance for retention of knowledge being a taught skill, ineffective environments and lack of support could be detrimental especially to disadvantaged communities Support information with APA compliant in-text citations in your slide, and then make sure to include the full reference for the citation in the List of References slide (last slide of this presentation) 2 Literature Review: Problem Space 10/9/2019 Perception plays a very important role in motivating learners It is build on the foundation of the dynamics of instructor-student relationship hence role ...
