...Introduction Organizations collect process and store enormous amount of data, a growing number of applications/systems, which support various lines of businesses, have been collecting more and more data through various channels. Mergers and acquisitions have made the situation even more complex and confusing when it comes to the management of data and business processes. Data governance is about management of the availability, usability, integrity and security of the data. Some of the key focus areas are data quality, data integration, policies around privacy, compliance and security, the data warehouse and BI, architecture integration and analysis and data access, in terms of archival, retrieval and storage (http://www.information-management.com). In our industry, banking and finance, it has become more and more import to ensure that we are effective in meeting these key areas and keep abreast of the government regulations that have been enacted that directly affect the industry. Financial institutions must adhere to the strictest regulations for the protection of sensitive and valuable information. We must closely monitor and proactively mitigate risk because data breaches not only compromise customer and corporate confidentiality, but can also be extremely damaging to the business and the brand (http://www.varonis.com).

This trained individual can be a licensed practical nurse, a registered nurse, a bachelor’s degree nurse, a master’s degree nurse, or a nurse practitioner. But all nurses must be able to observe, assess, and act on what your findings are. The goal of a nurse is to take care of patients to the best of their training and ability. Their ability will be defined in the term scope of practice. Scope of practice is defined as the extent and limits of the medical intervention that a health care provider may perform. (Farlex) Or in other words, staying within the professional nursing knowledge and not practicing above or below your scope of practice. A registered nurse, like everybody else, have responsibilities that come with the job. But they do differ in precise qualifications. A nurse must be able to assess, formulate, plan, implement, initiate, and evaluate nursing actions that are necessary in the field of nursing. They must be able to accept responsibility for their own actions and work well with others in a team setting. Communication is a key factor in nursing. Coworkers, patients, patient’s families, doctors, therapists, and emergency response teams are all the people that should be communicating with. Respect and maintaining the patient’s right to privacy is of a very big importance. Every patient has rights. It is the nurses and staff members’ responsibility to follow it. The nurse can...

...Introduction Cloud computing has the potential to change the face of the Information Technology (IT) industry. Industry experts maintain that the cloud will eventually become a primary component of computing activities conducted over the Internet. Presently, major corporations like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM have embraced this trend and are using the technology to enhance IT supported services. As the number of benefits and potential uses of the technology grows, the funding earmarked for assessments and implementation of cloud services will likely multiply. Cloud computing consists of immense benefits that allows end users to utilize services that include infrastructure, applications, data storage capacity. Last year, the Brookings Institution released a study that endorses the benefits of cloud computing to the government. The writer of the study, Darrell West, who is the vice president and director of government studies at Brookings, stated in the paper, “that agencies that have moved to the cloud generally enjoyed 25percent to 50 percent savings on their IT cost. For the federal government as a whole, this translates into billions in cost savings, depending on the scope of the transition” (West, 2011). Cloud computing consist of a network of servers that run services that are operated as shared platforms. The characteristics of cloud computing include on-demand services, pay-per-use services, broadband network access, multi-tenancy, rapid elasticity and scalability...

...Capabilities of computing: The continuous of computing technology development and evolving will always enable new capabilities; let us discuss some of these capabilities. Data Access: Computing technology gives the ability to access a huge amount of data by various types of people. Each company today has a big database that has the necessary records for the employees or customers. For example, any hospital has the information of the patients with their medical historical health and medicines taken and so on and even their personal information, this helps the employees to access the patients data easily and from anywhere. Data capture: computing made it very easy to see and utilize information and data that was very difficult to obtain before. As example banking systems enables people to check their bank statements and status such as what amount of money was withdrawal, when and where, being able to retrieve such data will help the customer to be aware of how he is spending his money. Processing speed: Computing forced the activities to be done very quickly in order to success. As example transaction of confirming a room booking in hotel should be done very fast, because many transactions to reserve rooms in this hotel can be done in parallel so if confirming the room does not done quickly others may take the room. Performance of storing a huge amount of data: computing made it possible to store a big amount of data in acceptable time, because all this available data that...
