Wk8 module4 assign 6050 | NURS 6050 Policy and Advocacy for Improving Population Health

Assignment: Advocating for the Nursing Role in Program Design and Implementation
As their names imply, the honeyguide bird and the honey badger both share an affinity for honey. Honeyguide birds specialize in finding beehives but struggle to access the honey within. Honey badgers are well-equipped to raid beehives but cannot always find them. However, these two honey-loving species have learned to collaborate on an effective means to meet their objectives. The honeyguide bird guides honey badgers to newly discovered hives. Once the honey badger has ransacked the hive, the honey guide bird safely enters to enjoy the leftover honey.
Much like honeyguide birds and honey badgers, nurses and health professionals from other specialty areas can—and should—collaborate to design effective programs. Nurses bring specialties to the table that make them natural partners to professionals with different specialties. When nurses take the requisite leadership in becoming involved throughout the healthcare system, these partnerships can better design and deliver highly effective programs that meet objectives.
In this Assignment, you will practice this type of leadership by advocating for a healthcare program. Equally as important, you will advocate for a collaborative role of the nurse in the design and implementation of this program. To do this, assume you are preparing to be interviewed by a professional organization/publication regarding your thoughts on the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.
To Prepare:

Review the Resources and reflect on your thinking regarding the role of the nurse in the design and implementation of new healthcare programs.
Select a healthcare program within your practice and consider the design and implementation of this program.
Reflect on advocacy efforts and the role of the nurse in relation to healthcare program design and implementation.

The Assignment: (2–4 pages)
In a 2- to 4-page paper, create an interview transcript of your responses to the following interview questions:

Tell us about a healthcare program, within your practice. What are the costs and projected outcomes of this program?
Who is your target population?
What is the role of the nurse in providing input for the design of this healthcare program? Can you provide examples?
What is your role as an advocate for your target population for this healthcare program? Do you have input into design decisions? How else do you impact design?
What is the role of the nurse in healthcare program implementation? How does this role vary between design and implementation of healthcare programs? Can you provide examples?
Who are the members of a healthcare team that you believe are most needed to implement a program? Can you explain why?

Why should the IT department not be solely responsible for business continuity?
Replies(Reply to each thread in at least 200 words EACH)
Thread #1
  Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Goal         
                Cybersecurity revolves around the CIA triad and  protecting the information by ensuring its confidentiality, integrity  and availability. The Triad’s purpose is to guide the information  security practitioner in creating policies and controls that protect  systems against outside and inside intrusion, as well as, natural  disaster. Business Continuity planning and Disaster recovery effort’s  number one goal is to protect the availability of information in the CIA  Triad. Business Continuity Plans a as well as Disaster Recovery plans  must be defined and understood, to understand the necessity of policies  that protect the availability of information, and their importance in  the overall goals of information security.
                Business continuity planning is the process of  identifying the potential losses from external threats and consequential  losses due to the loss of key business processes from an accident,  attack, disaster, or physical damage to essential hardware and software  (Pinata, 2011). Business continuity planning would identify all the  potential impacts from a disaster and would direct the upper level  management to identify specific targets for policies that would mitigate  the damage and ensure systems are available quickly.
                Disaster Recovery Planning restores the  operability of systems that support mission-critical processes as  quickly as possible (Bahan, 2003). Disaster recover planning occurs  before a disaster occurs, and addresses the targets identified during  the business continuity process. Disasters can be anything from natural  disaster to malware attacks, such as ransomware, that encrypt all data  in servers.
A business continuity plan should  address the acceptable amount of downtime and thus the Disaster recovery  policy should attempt to recover systems in that amount of time.  Systems should be backed up regularly and the backups should be tested  to ensure the availability of information in the case of a disaster  occurring. If systems are not tested regularly the plan would only be  theoretical and would not ensure the availability of information in an  emergency.
Ransomware attacks, as the one  recently seen in Baltimore, is becoming a common attack and  organizations must take business continuity and disaster recovery  planning serious to ensure that mission-critical systems are up and  running quickly and does not prevent normal operations for a long period  of time.
Thread #2
As organizations and information systems (IS) increasingly  commingle, any incident with organization IS may cause significant  organizational damage. (Niemimaa, 2015). That is why the notification  procedures must be clearly documented for a number of reasons ranging  from informing stakeholders to ensuring staffing requirements during a  disaster. In the event of a disaster or emergency situation, certain  individuals on multiple levels of an organization may need to be  informed or report to work to deal with these issues. This can range  from a first-line supervisor to the CEO of the organization, but the  contingency plan should have in place a definitive notification  procedure to ensure all personnel that need to be informed are informed.  According to Gregory, all parties involved with an organization that  may be affected by the disaster should be notified, to include:  employees, suppliers, customers, regulators, authorities and  stakeholders (2015). While the who of the notification procedure makes  up the bulk of the material, how those individuals are notified can be a  pressing matter as well. Depending on the type and severity of a  disaster, the responses can range from e-mail notifications to phone  calls to in-person visits. Depending on the cost, type and severity of a  disaster, it can dictate how individuals should be contacted, or it can  dictate if they would like to be contacted at all. 
In the organization I currently work in, our contingency plan is  based off the severity of the incident, the time/day of week and how  large the incident is. All of those factors dictate whether we call  anyone at all, whether we call just the administrators to fix the  issues, or whether we call the administrators and the organizations  leaders. The contingency plan should lay the groundwork for notification  procedures, but it should also put into place the details around  different types of problems and disasters. As I mentioned above about my  organization, different people wish to be notified at different levels  or degrees that evolve over the lifetime of a problem or disaster. For  this reason, a corresponding list of notification instructions should be  kept and updated frequently to ensure that correct means of  communication are still accurate and when one of these individuals would  like to be notified in the event of a problem or disaster. On a side  note, ways of communicating to designated personnel should be closely  adhered. Notifying personnel to little or to much can de-simplify the  issue, or it can cause the issue to seem larger than it is prompting an  inaccurate response.

Module 3 case study_sm-computers | Computer Science homework help

MUST BE LESS THAN 7% TURN IT IN SCORE AND SAFEASSIGN
Groupware is software that was developed to support teams by providing team
members with powerful and convenient ways to schedule their interactions,
communicate with each other, and record and update group output. Another (less
catchy) name for computer supported collaborative work (CSCW) is computer
supported teamwork. Much of the early research in this area was focused on
understanding the complex relationships between the social aspects of teamwork
and the technical features of groupware and looking for ways to improve the quality
both of the teamwork and the groupware. In more recent years, economists have
begun to examine groupware and CSCW as well in the interest of determining
efficient methods of organizing cooperative work and using groupware.
 
Here are a couple of good introductory articles on the special problems of databases
used to support group applications:
Heer, J. Viegas, F. B., and Wattenburg, M. (2009). Voyagers and voyeurs:
Supporting asynchronous collaborative visualization. Communications of the ACM,
52(1), 87-97.
Nistor, C. and Nistor, R. (2006). Groupware- modern information managerial
method, Marketing Management, 95-100. ISSN 1841 – 2416
But the fact remains that many groupware applications and the data that support
them are improvised or otherwise knocked together:
 
Microsoft (2011). CSCW in Microsoft research group. Enabling cross-lingual
conversation in real time: http://research.microsoft.com/enus/
news/features/translator-052714.aspx
 
Having read about computer-supported work groups, describe the latest software to
support the computer-supported work groups. Describe how information is shared
across the groups and what databases they use to support this collaborative work.
Focus your response on global corporations and how they manage projects where
members of the collaborative work group could be separated by many time zones
and have to deal with different cultures and different languages.
 
Your paper should be between three and five pages. Take a definite stand on the
issues, and develop your supporting argument carefully. Using material from the
background information and any other sources you can find to support specific
points in your argument is highly recommended; try to avoid making assertions for
which you can find no support other than your own opinion.
Your paper is to be structured as a point/counterpoint argument, in the following
manner.
•Begin this paper by stating your position on this question clearly and concisely
•Citing appropriate sources, present the reasons why you take this position. Be
sure to make the most effective case you can-MUST HAVE IN TEXT CITATIONS TO MATCH REFERENCES.
•Then present the best evidence you can, again citing appropriate sources,
against your position that is, establish what counterarguments can be made to
your original position.
•Finally, review your original position in light of the counterarguments, showing
how they are inadequate to rebut your original statement.
•By the end of your paper, you should be able to unequivocally re-affirm your original position.

Overview
Congratulations! The board of directors agreed to the sale of the organization. However, you have just been notified that the primary buyer has withdrawn from the sale. After much negotiation, the alternative buyer you identified has acquired the life sciences organization instead.
It has now been three months since the completion of the acquisition process. The post-acquisition integration and activities are also now complete. In these three months, 5% of the original workforce left to join a different organization. The data from the updated employee survey also show that some employees are still worried about their position in the organization. However, on the financial side, after some dips in the beginning, the quarterly sales numbers and revenue have stabilized and show minimal impact.
Its now time to complete an after-action review for the organization. This review will help the organization’s leaders evaluate how they managed change during the acquisition and how they will apply the lessons learned in the future.
Prompt
Create an after-action review report to evaluate how the organization in the course scenario handled change management related to the exit strategy.
Specifically, you must address the following criteria:

Expected outcome: Describe the expected outcome related to the organization in the course scenario and identify the goals you set related to change management at the beginning of this course.
Actual outcome: Assess the actual outcome related to the course scenario. Your response should address the following:

Compare the actual outcome to the expected outcome by explaining the similarities and differences.
Explain whether there is anything that could have been done differently to ensure that the actual outcome matched the expected outcome.

Learning: Continuing in your role in the course scenario, describe how you will apply what you learned from this outcome to any future organizational transformations.

Describe what will you continue doing, start doing, and stop doing, when managing future changes for the life sciences organization.
