Consider how this has changed the way that you view healthcare access and equality.
For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:
The healthcare world and the world overall is now a very different place since the COVID-19 global pandemic uprooted people’s daily lives. Healthcare policy had to change on a dime in many places. For example, hospitals fearing the worst limited the visitation of family members to those loved ones struck with illness (both COVID and non-COVID). New parents had to take turns seeing their newborns. Telehealth has taken on a new leading role in many healthcare organizations because face-to-face visits were no longer acceptable due to nationwide lockdowns. Many organizations did this to mitigate risk and follow strategic national policy. Your organization has decided to take a stand to implement the same strategy. Its policy is to not allow any visitors during a lockdown.
In this class debate, you are going to be placed on a side of the new visitation policy. Your task is to argue for or against the new policy based on your last name. Those with last names beginning in A–M will argue against, and those with last names beginning in N–Z will argue for. You are tasked with presenting your case to the class on why or why not the policy should stand. Cover the following:
- Consider how this has changed the way that you view healthcare access and equality.
- Consider the risk to the organization.
- Consider the impact of the decision.
- Should there be exceptions to the policy? Why or why not?
- Use data and evidence from literature to support your argument.
Remember that in healthcare administration, you are often tasked with supporting unpopular policy; it is not your job to change this policy; rather, your job is to defend the side that you are on respectfully.
Define the incident response plan goal and scope for this cyber-attack.
Consider this scenario: A cyber-attack occurred in a healthcare organization, resulting in significant data loss. You have been called as an information security management consultant to recommend an incident response plan for this incident and will need to present it to the executive board of the healthcare organization.
Develop a 10- to 12-slide multimedia-rich presentation of your recommended incident response plan to mitigate or reduce impact to the organization, and do the following:
- Define the incident response plan goal and scope for this cyber-attack.
- Analyze the impact and severity of the cyber-attack by applying a business impact analysis (BIA) to the organization, including mission performance, regulatory requirements, and compliance.
- Identify the communication requirements, including criteria for escalation and organization reporting and regulatory requirements.
- Explain the process for responding to this incident.
- Describe the relationship with other organization processes and methods, such as BCP/DR.
- Recommend prioritization, resource requirements, and any opportunity created by the event.
Use appropriate images and charts where applicable.
Include a slide with APA-formatted references.
What makes your source high quality and credible.
STEP 1: Review the scenario for Assignment 2 in Chapter 6 of the webtext.
Scenario: You are a research assistant at a firm that invests in pharmaceuticals. Your manager asks you to write a report about treating COVID-19 with remdesivir, an antiviral drug that your firm is considering for investment. This report should be based on an appropriate and credible source of information. Furthermore, your report should contain these points of information:
- What makes your source high quality and credible.
- Remdesivir’s effectiveness in treating COVID-19.
- How we know whether it is effective or not.
- The dose and course of treatment of remdesivir.
- Adverse effects associated with remdesivir and any limitations in the study.
Your manager has also requested some key details about remdesivir. Your source of information should describe the amount of remdesivir given to patients (called a “dose” or “dosage”) and how long patients are treated with the drug (sometimes called a “course”). This will help your firm estimate the drug’s future pricing and choose whether to invest in it. Finally, your source should describe any adverse side effects associated with the drug and any limitations on the study itself, because these factors can affect a drug’s success in the market.
STEP 2: Complete the questions that follow the scenario in Chapter 6 of the webtext.
STEP 3: Download the completed assignment from Chapter 6 of the webtext.
Explain how the drug’s effectiveness was tested.
Skill(s) Being Assessed: Problem Solving
Criteria for Success: In this assignment, you will:
- Explain why the NEJM is a credible and high quality source.
- Summarize the findings about treating COVID-19 with remdesivir.
- Explain how the drug’s effectiveness was tested.
- Provide the dosage of remdesivir and for how long it was administered.
- Describe any safety concerns surrounding the drug, especially any adverse side effects.
- Describe any limitations in the study itself.
What to submit/deliverables: Assessment questions completed in Chapter 6 of the webtext and downloaded into a Word document that gets uploaded to Assignment 2 in Week 6 of Blackboard.
What is the value of doing this assignment? This assignment gives you an opportunity to practice the skill of problem solving. It will show that you can identify credible sources of information and compare and contrast results across varying studies in order to solve a problem and make a well-informed decision. It will also show that you can identify sampling, measurements, and analysis in a scientific study. The ability to interpret scientific information from a variety of sources is essential in order to make important decisions in everyday life. Problem solving is a universal skill and one you will continue to refine as you progress throughout your career. This assignment asks you to use what you’ve learned in Weeks 3–6 of the course about examining scientific research for solving real-world problems.
Worried about where to start? The good news is that you’ve already laid the foundation with the webtext activities in Chapters 4 and 5. This assignment will apply what you learned in those activities.
Your goal for this assignment is to: Practice your problem-solving skill. You will do this by answering questions in Chapter 6 of the webtext as you are guided through a process of selecting the best source of information about treating COVID-19 with the drug remdesivir. You will ultimately select a source of information and analyze it for study design, sample size, and conclusions.
