...Application of Community Health & Population-Focused Nursing Western Governors University Measles 1. Describe the Chosen Outbreak Measles is virus with a single-stranded RNA and two membranes: a fusion protein that infuses into the host cell membrane and the hemagglutinin protein that absorbs the virus into the cells. The primary site for invasion is in the epithelium of the nares. Measles is highly contagious and very infectious because it is easily transmitted when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can stay in the air or on surfaces for up to two hours and infect many people who inhale the infectious agent or touch a surface, then be introduced to a new host through touch to the eyes or nose. Once the measles virus (agent) enters a person, he is now a host and harbor the virus. The virus enters its incubation period that can last 10 to 12 days before any symptoms of sickness usually a fever of 103-105 degrees. This incubation period is a communicable stage because the virus can be spread to another before the original victim is even aware of being infected. A few days later the virus (infection) invades the lymph nodes, multiplies, and enters the blood stream. Five to seven days later, the virus is in the respiratory system and the pathological reaction to the infection is now a disease: a cough, runny nose, possible eye infection, followed by spots. These spots are in the mucous membranes and is the first...

...Running head: RISK MANAGEMENT AND PROBLEM MANAGEMENT RELATION The effectiveness of the relationship between risk management and problem management of a compromised UNIX operating system CSMN 655 Computer Security, Software Assurance, Hardware Assurance, and Security Management Abstract Risk management is an ongoing, continuous process whose purpose is to identify and assess program risks and opportunities with sufficient lead-time to implement timely strategies to ensure program success. The entire risk management process balances the operational and economic costs of protective measures and contributes to mission capability by protecting the systems and the data that support the organizational mission from both deliberate and unintentional compromise. Computer security problem, or incident, management is an administrative function of managing and protecting computer assets, networks and information systems. These systems continue to become more critical to the personal and economic welfare of our society. Organizations must understand their responsibilities to the public good and to the welfare of their members. This responsibility extends to having a management program for reacting to system breaches, if and when they occur. Incident management is a program which defines and implements a process that an organization may adopt to promote its own welfare and the security of the public...

...C156 Advanced Information Management– Task 1 A2. Analysis of Technology Two organizations migrating to a common health information system would need a system that meets current regulatory requirements, meets the needs of the combined organization and their practice environment. The implementation of a common health information system would require an interdisciplinary group of forward thinking innovators, and an interoperable electronic medical record system that includes standard nursing terminology. The technology needed in this scenario that would make this combination successful consist of network security measures to ensure security of protected health information under the federal requirements of HIPPA and HITECH. The use of emerging technology such as cellphones, tablets and remote technology should also be included in the discussions of creating a telehealth system that would accommodate both of the combining organizations. Telehealth not only includes communication between patients and healthcare providers, but also communication between healthcare providers in both of the combining organizations. Video conferencing can save healthcare providers time and money by allowing them to collaborate with one another without being physically near one another. A3. Identification of Team The interdisciplinary team on the project committee will consist of four team members. Team member A would be the project team lead in which I would nominate myself...

...Situational Analysis Tools A thorough situational analysis will begin with an initial study of the business case in order to identify the current or implied mission, vision, strategic direction and strategic goals, as well as the preferences, needs, targets and constraints of significant stakeholders (e.g. shareholders, senior management, creditors, customers, suppliers, etc.). As well, the more obvious strengths and weaknesses, and a good cross-section of opportunities and threats (SWOT) can be identified and appropriately categorized. The initial scan should then be followed by a more careful study using some of the analytical tools mentioned below, in order to find the less obvious and often more pertinent strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats pertaining to the situation at hand. The final step will be to consider the comprehensive list of these factors that have been generated (reproduced in an exhibit to your report), and to focus on the most important and relevant items that a) have caused the current situation (weaknesses), or b) must be solved (weaknesses) or mitigated (threats) in order to rectify the current situation, or c) must be drawn upon in order to come to a viable resolution to the problem (opportunities and strengths). This final list will comprise the items that you will emphasize in the body of your report. SWOT Analysis A major starting point in solving a business problem is to take a close look at the environment within which an organization...

...Mobile Computing and Social Networking’s Influence on the Medical Services Beverley Stephens Dr. Robert E. Culver CIS 500- information Systems for Decision Making August 14, 2012 Introduction There have been a lot of changes in the health industry due to technological advancement in the areas of wireless networks. This advancement has allowed care givers to use devices such as personal cellular devices, pervasive sensing technologies, and social networks, to deliver health care from providers to clients. There are certain effects of using mobile technology blood pressure monitoring, checking glucose level, oxygen level and heart rate, etc. Monitoring Patient Vital Signs via Mobile Computing Versus In-Patient Visits Vital signs are key indicators of a patient overall health status. We are at a point in time where temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, glucose levels, oxygen levels, and respiratory rates can now be taken via mobile technology. There was a time when patients had to travel to the doctor’s office or other health care facilities in order to have these vital tests done. It was also the norm to have a health care provider doing these tests in person and writing down the results. These results were input into a chart or a computer system by the provider who took them. Sometimes it was documented right away or hours later when time allow. Mistakes were also a factor because the health care provider input the wrong information and this sometimes impacted...
