I will try to gain further insight by identifying the information flow in my current place of employment. Other than discussing the use of information, this paper will also discuss the various challenges in controlling the information flow and how can organization keep it safe from unauthorized use. Information flow and use in an organization It is important to first discuss information before describing its uses and how it flows. Information refers to data that has been organized in a way to give meaning and value to the recipient (Rainer & Cegielski, 2011). In an organization, the information can refer to various events, activities in a workplace or various transactions that are recorded and organized to convey a meaning. Information can also be contained in facts, ideas, imagination, opinions which can be present in various media such as print, audio and video (Olowu, 2004). Data is gathered using information systems which further process this data to convert it into useful information. Information is a necessity in every part of the organization such as finance, human resource, management, sales etc. Without information, the organization would collapse since information is the life blood of modern organizations (Opara, 2003). Usually information flows in two ways...

...Information Use Paper Anthony Michelli IT/205 May 12, 2014 Michael Peterson Information Use Paper Information runs in a circular pattern. Much like how water cycles through a water plant, into a plumbing system, which can then go into different buildings and those buildings pass the water down back into the plumbing system. Organizations use information in a similar fashion where a customer will give information of a purchase, that purchase information is then stored into a database. From the database, the credit card information or other needed information when regarding purchases goes to the appropriate destinations such as banks, warehouses, distribution centers, etc. From those destinations, the information is passed back into a database. These patterns are referred to as information flows. The information flows allow an organization to carry out their services or distribute products. The more effective an information flow, the more effective an organization operates, flourishes, and expands and a business or non profit organization. Due to what information can do for an organization, information is kept closely guarded and is treated as a valuable piece of any organization and is considered a material resource. The information flow patterns are heavily secured as one organization would not want their information, nor their consumer’s sensitive information, to be compromised by an outside entity. Information, when treated as a material resource, helps managers...

...proven effective, and recently received FDA approval. These two treatments alone have advanced Prostate Cancer treatments considerably. In 1975, the yearly Prostate Cancer diagnosis rate for new cases was 94 out of every 1000,000 men. The rate in which they died in the same year, was 31 men dying out of every 1000,000. Let us move forward to the year of 2007. In 2007, the yearly Prostate Cancer rate for new cases was 166 out of every 100,000. Also in 2007, the rate of men that died after being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer was a lower number than in 1975. At only 24 men dying out of every 1000,000 newly diagnosed cases.

...There are so many forms of data used where I work, that it is practically one way of describing what it is we do. Nursing and operating a hospital are so full of different uses of data that it is a challenge to break them down into individual uses. There is data used for budgeting, staffing, and supplies. Data is collected on demographics of the patient population. Data is measured constantly in patients; vital signs, lab values, and measurements of all sorts. We also conduct clinical trials in vast numbers collecting data on efficacy, treatment variation, modalities, and outcomes. 2. One example of descriptive statistics we use in our work place is yearly charts depicting prevalence of falls hospital wide. These charts are shown in a number of ways and are divided by unit so that each unit can be compared one with the other. Additionally, they have charts showing the yearly trends by unit and hospital-wide. They get fairly detailed on some of them showing specific categories of fall occurrence, for example; assisted vs. unassisted; Falls due to toileting; falls by time of day; falls by assessed risk category. This practice is highly effective and allows everyone to see where, when, and how falls are occurring. It also provides insight into how to go about reducing the instances. 3. Where I work we do use inferential statistics, in fact we apply it a lot. We administer chemotherapy and study its effects. We collect data from sample populations (trials) and based on the analysis...

...BIPOLAR DISORDER ANGELITA BUTLER Bipolar disorder is sometimes called manic- depressive disorder. Bipolar disorder is associated with mood swings that range from the lows of depression to the highs of mania. When you are depressed you can feel sad and hopeless, lose interest and pleasure in most activities. Sometimes when your mood shifts in the other direction, you can feel euphoric and full of energy. This can happen a few times a year, or every day. Bipolar disorder causes symptoms of depression and mania at the same time. Bipolar disorder is a disruptive, long – term condition you should be able to keep your moods in check with a treatment plan. Bipolar disorder can be controlled with medications and psychological therapy.( www.mayoclinic.org 1998-2014). Aretaeus of Cappadocia began the quest into the disorder as early as the 1st Century in Greece. The link between mania and depression went unnoticed for many centuries. The ancient Greeks and Romans were responsible for the terms “mania and melancholia” which are now the modern day manic and depressive. They also discovered that using lithium salts in bath calmed manic patients and lifted the spirts of depressed people. Lithium is used to treat bipolar patients. During this time it was common for people with bipolar disorder to be executed because they were possessed by demons. Bipolar disorder was not discovered until a French psychiatrist Jean – Pierre Fairet...

...How information is used and how it flows in an organization is as follows: Information in an organization is used for a myriad of different processes throughout an organization. Information flow through an organization is a duplicate image of an organizations activities. Making a model of an organizations activities goes a long way in helping to build an effective strategy for competing in today’s business world. The three things that are generally looked at in the process of information flow is cost, time, and the information path. A break down of these three components is as follows: Cost will show how much the present implemented information processes cost. Time would show us the current speed of information being transferred to the user of said information. IE: how much time it would take for management to receive the right information from say a warehouse, etc. The third component is the path. The path gives information about the size of information flow net elements that information goes through to make it to the information user. These three components are closely relative to each other and therefore make any analysis difficult. Essentially, information runs in a circular pattern. It is very similar to how water flows down a drain in a circular pattern. Once the water is in the drainage line, it goes through a series of pipes, of different sizes and direction. Organizations utilize information in a very...

...Week 2- Individual Paper CIS/207 November 25, 2013 Week 2: Individual Paper In order to produce results, information must be communicated and shared amongst an organization. This information can be shared in various ways such as verbal and technical communications. Information within an organization is used to comprehend the importance of the input and outputs of the business processes in such ways as collaborations of ideas, sharing of concepts, rules, regulations, and business processes. Every organization has data, files, business, and personal records. Organizations have become more reliant on technology. With this reliance comes a sense of dependence on technology for daily business operations, therefore it is very important that organizations protect their information because they can easily be exposed and vulnerable to cyber attacks. The flow of information plays a major role in today’s business operations. Information can simply mean anything that has value to a company. In order for information to stay relevant in an organization it must rely on technology. All of the normal business operations need some sort of IT system to process the information in order for the business to operate efficiently and professionally. Having IT systems can save the organization valuable time in retrieving information. IT systems assist organizations from analyzing information, prevention of large-scale human error and decrease in inaccurate information. IT systems have assisted...

...Information Use CIS 207 April 10, 2013 Information Use Company’s safeguard sensitive data like credit cards, social security numbers, or names by storing them in files. Businesses need this information to perform business functions. Identification theft is on the rise and protecting customers and employee’s personal information is paramount for any business to perform. The inability to protect their information could result in the loss of trust from a client or a lawsuit. Successfully protecting personal information is based on five key principles; they are take stock, scale down, lock it, pitch it, and plan ahead (Federal Trade Commission, n.d.). Take stock refers to the inventory of personal information stored and who has access to the information. Ensuring only those people who has a need to know is given access. For example, at the restaurant I own, the cashier handles credit card transactions. This is important because if there were an incident where a customer was over charged or had a complaint; it would be easy to investigate the source of the problem. When taking inventory of the personal information stored, computers, and file cabinets are a great place to start. Flash drives, mobile phones, and website are also places to conduct an inventory. The company must talk to employees who sends personal information and how they send it. Customers, banking institutions, and credit card company’s send sensitive data through a variety of ways. Sensitive information...

...Research Paper: Information Preparation After choosing the research topic, you will gather information. This is not simply listing the sources you intend to use in your paper. Rather, this is a presentation of the material you have gathered from the approved sources to use in your paper. This material consists of the direct quotes, indirect quotes, and other information from each source which you plan to incorporate into your paper. You are still in the research phase as you do this. You are going through scholarly sources to find material that you can incorporate into your paper. The Information Preparation assignment should contain a large amount of material—probably more than you will ultimately use in your paper. There are 2 ways to organize the material for the Information Preparation. They are as follows: 1. Following a properly-formatted bibliographic entry for each resource you intend to use, include quotes, paraphrased material, or bits of information from that resource that you believe you will use in your paper. Preface each item with the topic that it can be used to support in your paper. 2. A second way to organize your document for this assignment is by topics you will cover in the paper. Use the points and sub-points which you intend to cover in your paper as headings for this organizational method. For example, if your paper were on Paul's calling, you might be touching on how his background as a Pharisee prepared him to fulfill his new role...
