Dr. Daniela Yeung, a community psychologist, has been conducting a federally funded ethnographic study of men’s attitudes toward intimate partner violence following conviction and release from prison for spousal abuse. Dr. Yeung has Aiden’s address, and after 2 hours, she is considering whether or not to contact emergency services to go to Aiden’s home or to the homes of his parents and girlfriend.
 Over the course of a year, she has had individual monthly interviews with 25 participants while they were in jail and following their release. Aiden, a 35-year-old male parolee convicted of seriously injuring his wife, has been interviewed by Dr. Yeung on eight occasions. The interviews have covered a range of personal topics including Aiden’s problem drinking, which is marked by blackouts and threatening phone calls made to his parents and girlfriend when he becomes drunk, usually in the evening. To her knowledge, Aiden has never followed through on these threats. It is clear that Aiden feels very comfortable discussing his life with Dr. Yeung. One evening Dr. Yeung checks her answering machine and finds a message from Aiden. His words are slurred and angry: “Now that you know the truth about what I am you know that there is nothing you can do to help the evil inside me. The bottle is my savior and I will end this with them tonight.” Each time she calls Aiden’s home phone she gets a busy signal.
 
Ethical Dilemma
 
Dr. Yeung has Aiden’s address, and after 2 hours, she is considering whether or not to contact emergency services to go to Aiden’s home or to the homes of his parents and girlfriend. Why is this an ethical dilemma? Which APA Ethical Principles help frame the nature of the dilemma?
 
 
Discussion Questions
 
Why is this an ethical dilemma? Which APA Ethical Principles help frame the nature of the dilemma?
 
Does this situation meet the standards set by the Tarasoff decision’s “duty to protect” statute? How might whether or not Dr. Yeung’s state includes researchers under such a statute influence Dr. Yeung’s ethical decision making? How might the fact that Dr. Yeung is a research psychologist without training or licensure in clinical practice influence the ethical decision?
 
 
 
How are APA Ethical Standards 2.01f, 3.04, 3.06, 4.01, 4.02, 4.05, and 8.01 relevant to this case? Which other standards might apply?
 
 
 
What are Dr. Yeung’s ethical alternatives for resolving this dilemma? Which alternative best reflects the Ethics Code aspirational principles and enforceable standards, legal standards, and obligations to stakeholders?
 
 
 
What steps should Dr. Yeung take to implement her decision and monitor its effect?

 Describe how you would teach the hospital employees the rules and regulations regarding HIPAA.

A healthcare administrator needs to provide a safe and secure environment for all health information. No matter the healthcare setting, personal health information (PHI) is accessible to many individuals. You will be faced with situations as an administrator that will require a well-founded knowledge of how PHI is secured, how it is proactively monitored, and what immediate actions you need to take when faced with a potential breach. The purpose of this task is to assess your knowledge of the implications of maintaining the security and privacy of healthcare information. It will also help you understand the cultural issues of implementing change in a small healthcare setting.
SCENARIO
You are the healthcare administrator for a small critical access hospital (i.e., 25 beds or fewer). Your administration team includes the director of nursing, the chief medical officer, the director of support services, the director of pharmacy, and the health information management (HIM) director. You and your team have been tasked with investigating a recent data breach. As the data breach was investigated, several members of the staff have been identified as being directly involved in the breach. Several patients experiencing the compromise of their PHI have filed legal claims with the intent to sue. Your team is also accountable for implementing an electronic health record (EHR) system, which is a newly initiated technology in a culture that is resistant to change. The board of directors has requested that you have a plan addressing both of these issues ready to present in two weeks.
A.  Create a planning, organizing, directing, controlling (PODC) HIPAA training model by doing the following:
1.  Describe how you would teach the hospital employees the rules and regulations regarding HIPAA.
a.  Identify three appropriate types of PHI that can be shared between staff.
i.   Identify where in the facility the information sharing should take place.
ii.  Identify three individuals who can use and disclose this information.
b.  Describe two penalties associated with breaching patient information.
c.  Identify two appropriate ways to secure data from one working shift to another using HIPAA guidelines.
2.  Complete an internal audit plan of all security measures meant to protect health information by doing the following:
a.  Identify which department will oversee the audit.
b.  Explain three security practices the audit will review (e.g., PHI sign-out sheets, secured storage/location of records).
c.  Describe three potential changes that can be made within the organization to address the results of the audit (e.g., additional employee education).
d.  Create a risk assessment plan to identify the potential for any future security breaches.
i.   Identify how often this assessment plan should be completed.
ii.  Identify who will complete this assessment plan.
B.  Determine the financial impact of a new EHR system by doing the following:
1.  Develop a risks versus benefits summary for the key stakeholders of the hospital to show why an EHR system should be invested in and implemented.
a.  Identify four key decision makers who give input and buy-in.
b.  Include two CMS requirements for the new system.
2.  List four new hardware components required for the new system.
a.  Identify the potential capital dollar investment for the new system.
b.  Discuss which of the three EHR systems—Cerner, Meditech, or Epic—would be the best system for your organization using information in the web links section below and the attached “Information on EHR Vendors.”
3.  Identify three components or applications that will need to be incorporated into the EHR system at your small critical access hospital.
a.  Discuss the key security and privacy components of the EHR system you selected in part B2b.
C.  Create an appropriate training plan for all clinical and non-clinical staff by doing the following:
1.  Identify the estimated number of total hours required to learn the EHR system for both clinical and non-clinical staff.
2.  Describe the logistics required to train all employees on all shifts by doing the following:
a.  Identify how many training sessions would be reasonable for approximately 150 day-shift employees.
b.  Identify how many training sessions would be reasonable for approximately 50 night-shift employees.
c.  Identify how much the training will cost, assuming an average wage of $21 per hour and a total training length of 6?10 hours per employee.
d.  Develop a training plan for 75 physicians (40 are active medical staff, 35 see patients on a consult or specialist basis).
i.   Design a schedule, using the attached “Proposed Physician Schedule,” that allows all physicians to learn the new program while also providing adequate coverage for patient care on a 24-hour basis.
3.  Describe a train-the-trainer program you could implement to ensure ongoing support and training of new employees.
4.  Describe a transition plan for employees transitioning from the old EHR system to the new EHR system.
a.  Describe how you will measure whether employees have demonstrated competency with the new system.
b.  Identify the most appropriate time of day and day of the week to initiate the transition.
i.   Identify three leaders who should be on-site for the transition period.
ii.  Justify why you chose the three leaders in part C4bi.
5.  Describe one approach you could use in collaboration with your administration team to reward the staff for successfully learning and transitioning to a new EHR system.
a.  Explain how you would collaborate with your administration team to initiate the approach described in part C5.
D.  When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

In one of the week’s readings, Davis (2015) argues that disability is often left out of discussions of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Why do you think this might be? There are a couple of reasons as to why they are often left out. Adams et al. (2015), mention that these people are often treated as passive and voiceless. Given this perception, it is hard for their voices to be heard and be included in the DEI discussions. Most of us know that some disabilities are less visible compared to other diversity aspects such as race and gender. With these disabilities not being immediately apparent, it leads to a lack of awareness and understanding. Therefore, it becomes hard to have discussions regarding them in the DEI discussions. Another reason could be the stigma of certain disabilities. A couple of years back, I was watching a documentary regarding parents who give birth to mentally and physically disabled children and tend to hide them because of community stigma. Such stigma leads to these people not being able to advocate for their inclusion in DEI efforts. We have been discussing a lot about stereotypes and it still applies to this scenario. Stereotypes about disability persist in society and they can lead to false beliefs that accommodating people with disabilities is unnecessary.

What does the term “TAB” (temporarily able-bodied) mean in the context of disability studies? What does this term add to your understanding of disability? Disability can happen to anyone at any time, making it be more fluid than other forms of identity (Adams et al., 2015). With this knowledge, the term TAB arises and refers to the nondisabled who might be disabled at some point. It refers to persons who are currently able-bodied but may become disabled in the future due to illness, injury, or age-related conditions. What “TAB” adds to the understanding of disability is the recognition of its potential universality. It emphasizes that disability is not something experienced only by a specific group; rather, it’s a continuum of experiences that individuals may move in and out of over the course of their lives.

How might the concepts of intersectionality and privilege relate to the experiences of people with disabilities? Please give at least two examples. Intersectionality recognizes that individuals have multiple identities that intersect and influence their experiences. For example, a person with a disability who is also a racial minority may face unique challenges related to both disability discrimination and racial discrimination. When it comes to privilege, people with disabilities have fewer privileges compared to those without. Ridgway (2013) gives a list of these privileges and how they relate to disability. For instance, without a disability, you do not face disability discrimination in the workplace and people do not make fun of you.
