Discuss how you as a leader will protect your organization from outside threats

Infrastructure Review

As a nurse executive leader, you may very well be tasked with the evaluation of the current technology safeguards, infrastructure, and regulations surrounding the security of the enormous amount of patient data collected in your organization. As nursing continues to increase point-of-care clinical technology, there is potential to increase vulnerabilities and risks with protected health information.

There are a variety of tools to assist with these evaluations.( HealthIT.gov has downloadable programs for a Security Risk Assessment Tool.)

Choose one of the Word documents, and do not choose the same one as your peers if possible.  

Analyze the Administrative, Technical, or Physical Safeguards using the corresponding SRA tool.

Include the following aspects in the discussion:

• Complete a review of your own organization’s infrastructure using the chosen tool. If you are not working, choose an organization for which you once worked (the chosen tool does not need to be submitted). 
• Seek assistance when needed from appropriate departments within your own healthcare institution
• Summarize what you discovered during the review
• How did the tool assist in your assessment?
• Discuss one vulnerability that you have discovered
• Discuss how you as a leader will protect your organization from outside threats

Harris was pinned in the car for a short period of time and reports having no feeling in his legs immediately after the two cars collided. His friend, who was driving the car, was not seriously injured.

Harris lives with his fiancée, Marsha, on the 15th floor of a new apartment complex in the city, It is a small one-bedroom apartment, They intend to be married next spring. Harris is also planning on completing his baccalaureate degrec in computer science and has one semester left to finish,   Harris works full-time for his brother’s plumbing business as a bookkeeper. During the little free time he has, he likes to travel with Marsha and golf with his friends. Harris had no funcional deficits before the accident.

Harris’ family is extremely supportive and visits daily. His brother Jeff calls frequent|y and his mother makes all his favorite meals, which she brings in for the nurses as well as Harris. Harris’ father is not well and cannot visit as often due to respiratory distress, but teleshones his son regularly. Marsha, who is a dental hygienist, has taken time off work to be with Harris every day at the hospital.

Harris is admitted to the rehabilitation hospital with the goal of returning home. He is eager to get started and tells the admission nurse “he more therapy, the better.” Harris will be evaluated by PT, OT, nursing, social work, and the physiatrist.

Occupational Therapy Evaluation

Upon evaluation, Harris is talkative and motivated. He is in a wheelchair with lateral supports. His right LE is in a full-arm cast and his right LE is in a cast from the toes distal to the knee. Harris says he is right-handed. When asked how he has been feeling since the accident, his reply is “fine.” When the question is rephrased as to his emotional state, his response is the same.

Harris has no cognitive, perceptual, visual, or hearing deficits. He has no sensation in either LE and reports no sensation in his buttocks as well., His LE sensation is intact, as is the sensation in his superior trunk region. His sensation is impaired in his inferior trunk region. Harris’ low back area cannot be assessed during the evaluation due to his position in the chair.

Harris has no AROM in the LEs. His motion is intact in the left UE and cervical area. His right LE cannot be fully assessed due to the cast. Motion in his right digits is normal given the limitations of the cast. His left UE has normal strength, right UE is not fully assessed, but Harris can lift the cast up over his head.

Harris has no complaints of pain except for stiffness in his neck. He has some light edema in the right digits at the MCP to DIP joints but no cyanosis. He has multiple bruises and abrasions over his body that nursing is monitoring.

Harris’ sitting balance is poor to fair, and he is unable to sit up independently without minimal assistance. He does attempt to correct himself when leaning but lacks the strength to maintain upright posture without external assistance. He is independent in sitting with the lateral supports in the wheelchair.

Harris uses a sliding board with moderate assistance to transfer from surface to surface. He is non-ambulatory and is non-weight-bearing on the right leg. Harris requires ocasional assistance to propel himself in a wheelchair because of his inability to use his right arm. He performs bathing tasks ably and can wash his face, hands, chest, and peri-area independently. He requires total assistance for back, buttocks, and legs. He requires maximum assistance for dressing himself.  Harris reports feeding himself without help although “it’s messy sometimes.” Harris has a catheter for urination and had been incontinent of bowel since the accident. His admission Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores were in the 3 to 4 range for UE tables and 1l range for LE tables.

analyze the law and potential changes on health care expenditures in the United States from the time before the Affordable Health Care Act was passed to the present time.

Introduction
The Affordable Health Care Act (ACA) was enacted in March, 2010 (Healthcare.gov,
n.d.) to increase the availability of healthcare to Americans. Several changes have
been made to the law in recent years, and as recently as 2021 adjustments were
made to the provisions of the ACA (Andrews, 2021). In this capstone paper you will
analyze the impact of the law on expenditures for health care. (How did this act
change/affect the amount spent on healthcare?)
Activity Instructions
Using the concepts, you have learned in this class, up to and including this week,
analyze the law and potential changes on health care expenditures in the United
States from the time before the Affordable Health Care Act was passed to the
present time. Also compare the changes in expenditures on health care if a
single-payer plan was adopted.
Among other concepts that you can utilize in your analysis, you may consider the
supply and demand in the healthcare market (both on the output market and on
the input markets), elasticity, Economies of Scale and Scope, incentives facing the
market participants, the role that preventative medicine may have, moral hazard and
adverse selection issues, availability of insurance, as well as any other concepts from
the course that you find relevant.
Writing and Submission Requirements
 6-8 pages (approx. 300 words per page), not including title page or
references page
 References page (minimum of 5 resources)
