...operations disclosures, and includes specific Opt-In or Opt-Out processes for sensitive health information” (Christiansen, Apgar, & Melamed, 2011, p. 2). The “No Consent” default established by HIPAA pertains to the disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI) where the purpose is for the treatment, payment, and health care operation (TPO) to remove previous obstacles in the care delivery process by various providers. HIPAA gives individuals greater disclosure control beyond TPO and for specific programs, like those for drug and alcohol treatment (Christiansen, Apgar, & Melamed, 2011). In these instances, patient’s must Opt-In, by way of written authorization, before their information may be shared. HIPAA’s concern is primarily with privacy as it was originally designed...

...Internet Privacy William A. Black XBIS/219 Week 7 Checkpoint 7 Prof. John Brooks Explain how your expectations for Internet privacy differ for the following situations: Accessing the web at home, at work, and in a public setting, such as a library computer lab or Wi–Fi zone. What is the basis for your expectations? Is it legal to use your neighbors’ wireless Internet signal? Is it ethical? Explain your reasoning. In our lives we are subject to privacy invasion through the electronic retrieval of our personal information which may be duplicated and misused. At home, I find that I carry the expectation that my own personal information is safeguarded. This is because I take steps when I am working on my own system to ensure my privacy by securing my information with my own anti-virus software and through the use of passwords and ids for access. I find that at work I should be able to carry these same expectations; since the company should be using particular caution to safeguard employee information. The web should not be accessed during work for any purpose outside of work requirements. This is often not true. Your information is constantly at risk in both environments due to hacking and information abuse. There are settings that put you at risk more than others. These include the local library and any Wi-Fi zone. These give greater access opportunities...

...Market Analysis The Consumer Market Cultural and Social factors influencing consumer purchasing. Cultural and social environments can be attributed to many of the decisions people make such as what clothes to wear, what music to listen to, how competitive we are, and even how environmentally conservative we are. Kotler and Keller (2014) define cultural influences to consumer behavior as “key institutions… [governing the way] a child grows up” in one country compared to a child in another (pp. 152-153), or other specific subculture identifications such as “nationalities, religions, [or] racial groups…” (Kotler & Keller) A vast amount of research has been done on environmental topics which “have emerged as one of the most important economic policy issues… and many view energy efficiency… [would help] to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” (Allcott, 2011) “cultural knowledge includes implicit theories about the world we live in that are largely shared by the members of our society.” (LaPlante, 2005) Thus, the popular beliefs amongst one’s peers in conjunction with widespread word of mouth lend to similar thoughts amongst the ‘Generation Y’ demographic. The speculation of global warming and climate change has sparked many people to begin trying to make changes in the way their lives are lived, including installing devices that can make their homes ‘smarter’, and more environmentally friendly. Energy conservation, and environmental issues are very important topics in the...

...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...

...Google Technologies Glass Google Glass is an electronic eye wear device that essentially is the ability to access Google and updates from your smartphone device through the computerized frames. While currently still in the stages of development and beta testing, Google Glass has already started making an impact on the development of new technologies and the way in which we are able to see things through another person’s eyes. When linked with a persons smartphone device, Glass enables one to send and receive text messages displaying the message in a small visual to the user; Glass also provides the sync ability to make calls, take photos, record videos, and provide navigation. As Glass is still within it’s beta testing and development stages the applications associated and current features are limited, but the possibilities for this device seem to be the main focus of Google and it’s developers before introducing Glass to the public consumer. Currently Glass has been making headlines, as Google reaches out to promote this new technology providing testers to Police Officers in New York, and to NBA teams, the purpose to help provide a wider means for the technology in development. (Stein, 2014) When considering Glass, and the association of the Police or Emergency response teams one can consider the positive impacts Glass can provide such as development of applications compatible with the device to pull up a persons driver’s information, vehicle reports, background information...
