Determine the effects of health information quality on an HIE.
Identify the benchmarks and quality measures used to compare with the office data for your proposal (Excel spreadsheet). Assess the compatibility of the proposed data and examine potential issues related to information quality (1-3 pages).
Introduction
A key part of your proposal will be to identify benchmarks and trends for the topic you have chosen for your documentation review. Benchmarks can come from national or state quality standards or trends. If your proposal is approved, you as the office manager will want to try to answer this question: How does our office data compare to national or state trends?
You need to identify your benchmarks before you can collect and then compare the data. You decide what your benchmarks are. They could be based on national averages, state averages, or quality standards. For example, here is one quality standard: All patients with chronic, stable coronary artery disease are on an antiplatelet therapy or have supporting documentation as to why they cannot take an antiplatelet therapy. For instance, they may have an allergy.
Another question to consider when establishing benchmarks is this: Are you comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges? In addition, if you are retrieving information from a national database or data from an HIE, how do you know your office data is comparable to the information you are retrieving? Consult your suggested resources for answers to these questions.
For this second assessment, you are to:
· Analyze statistical trends and assess quality measures relevant to your proposal.
· Assess the compatibility of data drawn from multiple sources.
· Determine the effects of health information quality on an HIE.
This assessment is completed in three steps:
1. Step One – Preparation: Locate data related to quality measures or trends relevant to your topic from specific websites.
2. Step Two – Data Collection: Create a data collection tracking spreadsheet and dashboard.
3. Step Three – Data Compatibility: Write a short paper on data compatibility and quality.
Please study this assessment’s scoring guide to better understand the performance levels relating to each criterion on which you will be evaluated.
Instructions
Step One: Preparation
Locate data related to quality measures relevant to your topic from one or more of these websites:
· Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality . (n.d.). https://www.ahrq.gov/
· Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . (n.d.). http://www.cdc.gov/
· The Joint Commission . (n.d.). https://www.jointcommission.org/
· NCQA . (n.d.). http://www.ncqa.org/
· Occupational Safety and Health Administration . (n.d.). http://www.osha.gov/index.html
· Any other site that contains national or state health care quality measures.
Determine what patient information is needed and where to retrieve it.
Develop a section (3-5 pages) of a proposal to study whether a group of physicians provided quality of care related to an identified disease or condition and population. Include a plan to manage the information from collection to destruction and an analysis of legal considerations.
Introduction
For this assessment and others in this course, you will assume the role of an office manager for a physician group. In most fields—whether it’s manufacturing, the service industry, or health care—organizations are looking for ways to improve the quality of service they provide to their customers. Keeping an eye on quality helps them remain competitive in the marketplace and stay in business. Otherwise, their customers will go elsewhere. This is especially true in the health care field, where people’s health and lives are at stake.
Preparation
Your physician group is no different than other organizations. It wants to find ways to improve the quality of care it provides to patients. This, in turn, helps the physician group remain profitable and stay in business. As a result, the senior leaders of your physician group have asked you to provide a documentation review of the quality of care provided by the office. As the office manager, you are the one responsible for the management of the health information within the office and the review of information to determine whether providers met quality of care standards. Determining this will require you to:
· Identify a disease or condition served by the physician group.
· Determine what patient information is needed and where to retrieve it.
· Compare your overall office data to the national benchmarks.
Provide details for IoT device security: endpoint hardening, protecting against vulnerabilities, encryption and device trust using PKI.
After the discussion has been completed concerning with the networking manager of your organization concerning the integration effort, you have actions items to provide 3-5 pages of requirements addressing the security concerns present when IoT devices communicate. Organizations attempting IoT communications will need to bring their security posture to a new level of depth if they are use the benefits of IoT communications, therefore this documentation to be given to the networking is critical to the overall productivity and data security.
· The priority will be to provide an explanation of at least 1 page concerning the security concepts present when IoT devices network and communicate.
· Provide details for IoT device security: endpoint hardening, protecting against vulnerabilities, encryption and device trust using PKI.
· Provide details for IoT network security: context aware user authentication/access control, sophisticated password importance, and network and transport layer encryption
· Provide 10 “shall” security requirements associated with the IoT device network communications required for the networking manager to follow when configuring and allowing the IoT devices to communicate on the corporate network. For example, provide at least the depth of the following requirements:
1. “XYZ Corporation shall provide a security layer performing encryption/decryption and ensuring data integrity and privacy”
2. “The XYZ corporate network administrator shall be capable of placing owner controls or restrictions on the kinds of devices that can connect to it.”
1. Identify how the organization can provide audit trails, endpoint anomaly detection and a forensic security capability to ensure a stable security posture.
Notice these are considered Tier 1 requirements, and do not need to be testable. All requirements should be clear, and unambiguous. The security discussion and requirements should be applied to the “network” and “device application” levels. For example, clients use DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) at the Application level.

how to download an app to borrow library books from your local library.
Brief Description and Strategies to Follow:
Please keep in mind the following principles when writing this assignment:
• You must provide instructions on how to accomplish a task on a website. The website
should be for a regional or local organization or company in your area. For
example, you could write about how to order a pizza from a local pizza shop in your
town. You could write about how to purchase an item from a local shop in your area (not
from Amazon).
• The organization or company can be national. However, the set of instructions you write
must involve a local or regional location for that national organization. For example, you
can write about how to arrange a rental tool online at Home Depot, provided that you are
arranging the rental at a local Home Depot location.
• If you have questions about whether your topic will work, please contact your instructor
for approval or for suggestions on the topic.
• Whether you choose a local establishment or a national organization with regional
locations, the important features of your set of instructions will be that they are written to
a general audience but also accommodate the specific personas that you wrote for writing
assignment #1.
