Outline four (4) key factors contributing to the HIMS failure or breach.

You are the Information Officer at a large hospital and it has been brought to your attention that there is a possibility a significant information technology failure or breach has occurred within your hospital. Using the Internet or the Strayer University library database identify another health care organization or healthcare provider that has recently had a significant information technology failure or breach. You will need to create a news brief  or memo to your staff letting them know about the failure or breach and how it has affected other organizations.

Write a news brief or memo for your staff in which you:

1. Outline four (4) key factors contributing to the HIMS failure or breach.
2. Analyze three (3) ways that the HIMS failure impacted both the organization’s operations and patient information protection, privacy or personal safety.
3. Diagnose the leadership team’s reaction to the failure, and indicate whether or not you believe the leadership took sufficient measures to deal with various stakeholder groups impacted by the failure. Next, consider whether the organization had significant resources in place to prevent this occurrence and if not identify where most of the contributing failure occurred.
4. Suggest three (3) outcomes for the facility and express whether you agree with the overall verdict or violation.
5. Recommend at least three (3) best practices that your hospital can adopt to avoid such a HIMS failure or breach in the future. Provide support for the recommendation.
6. Provide one (1) current government requirement requiring all healthcare organizations to ensure that health care and patient information is secure and information breaches and technology failures are minimized.
7. Use at least four (4) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

You are the CFO of a rural hospital. During a recent review of the organization’s financial status, the hospital was deemed “at risk” for closure

Scenario

You are the CFO of a rural hospital. During a recent review of the organization’s financial status, the hospital was deemed “at risk” for closure. Several factors contribute to the at-risk designation, including the state’s decision to opt-out of the Medicaid expansion program, the aging population which requires more expensive care, and the changes in reimbursement from Medicare. These challenges have resulted in rural facility closures across the country. As part of the strategic management team, you are charged with reviewing various facility units and making recommendations that may avoid closure. You determine that based on the profitability reports, the OB/GYN unit of the facility is underperforming in several key financial areas.

Instructions

In a written proposal to the hospital CEO, Administrator, and CMO, discuss the following:

• Identify potential challenges related to the OB/GYN unit’s performance.
• Explain potential trends in the community impacting health consumer utilization patterns.
• Explain the potential benefits of reorganization within the unit and how reorganization could improve its financial status.
• Recommend a course of action and the implications that those actions will have for patients, providers, and investors (i.e., how might closure affect the community or how might new service offerings, such as midwife services, improve profitability).

Design a Strategy Map (data table) using Microsoft Word

Scenario

After reviewing the new proposed vision from Healthy Dynamics that includes updated mission, focus area, and objectives, the CEO has decided to contract a project manager. The project manager understands the importance of identifying stakeholders early in the strategic planning process. The project manager will be responsible for the successful start of the planning strategy, implementation, review, control, and evaluation of the strategic plan. Other tasks include: gathering feedback from stakeholders, identifying areas of improvement, and making recommendations.

The project manager has asked you to provide a strategy map, identifying key stakeholders involved in achieving the objectives of the defined focus area. Some of the major stakeholders in the healthcare industry are physicians, employers, insurance companies, pharmaceutical firms, government agencies, and consumers (e.g., patients and employees). You will also need to make a list of relevant questions to solicit feedback from the stakeholders that will allow you to see where stakeholders stand when evaluated by the same key measures (survey questions).

Instructions

Design a Strategy Map (data table) using Microsoft Word that includes:

• Identifying the key stakeholders.
• What business or health industry does the stakeholder represent (e.g., wellness, pharmacy, health plans, non-profit, academia, etc.)?
• What are the stakeholders’ roles and responsibilities as it relates to the strategic plan?
• Indicate how often you will meet with the stakeholders.
• What type of power (e.g., financial, providers, users, influencers) will the stakeholder have in the success of the strategic plan?
• Include a timeline to show when you will engage each stakeholder.

Create a Stakeholder Survey that includes:

• Key questions to solicit feedback from stakeholders after your first meeting (both quantitative and qualitative) to identify potential solutions to anticipated issues that may be raised by the stakeholders?
• Questions should be aimed at how to improve the effectiveness of the stakeholder meetings and the satisfaction of the stakeholders during the planning process?
• Your assignment should include a title page, a reference page, and a minimum of three scholarly sources, two of which must be retrieved from the Rasmussen Library.

Seven characteristics of a well-designed service system

Think about a service that you are familiar with, either within your own company or one your company provides, or an external service that you have used. Referring to the Service-System Design Matrix (JC13 page 222, exhibit 7.3) and the “Seven Characteristics of a Well-Designed Service System” (JC13 page 230), how could the design of the service be improved? For example, are there aspects currently provided in a face-to-face fashion that would be better provided via mail, Internet, or telephone? Why would the change be an improvement? In what ways does the service that you are thinking about exhibit characteristics that indicate that it is “well-designed”, and in what ways could changes be made to make the service more consistent with the seven characteristics? For example, is the service user-friendly, or not?

  1. One sentence description of the relationship between the microorganism and the environment.
  2. APA citation of the article your read
  3. Description of the organism discussed in the article
  4. Summary of the relationship, the organisms that are affected, and the impact of the microorganism
  5. If possible, provide steps taken to mitigate or improve the relationship 

Please do not write about Fungi anything else but that.

Part 2 – Follow up posts:
