Security measures in healthcare

Security measures in healthcare

For ethical, legal, and business reasons, the security of health care data must be a top priority in health care organizations. HIPAA, for example, requires that health care organizations safeguard patient data, and there are serious consequences for breaches of privacy. Yet organizations have many types of sensitive clinical or administrative information they need to protect. To make their systems secure, health care organizations put in place policies as well as technical safeguards such as encryption and passwords. There can be a tradeoff, however, between system security and ease of use by health care providers.

Prepare for this Application Assignment as follows:

  • Select a type of health care organization, such as an outpatient clinic, nursing home, or hospital, and a specific department or function in this setting, such as a nursing unit, radiology department, or admissions, that would make use of sensitive health data.Bring to mind specific ways in which these data might be improperly accessed, lost, stolen, and so on.
  • Review this week’s Learning Resources, and conduct online research, as needed, to clarify for yourself the ramifications for individuals and organizations of security breaches in this department, and the solutions that have been devised to protect these data. In what ways might these security measures interfere with the staff’s ease of use of the system? Consider how best to balance these competing interests of data security and convenience for staff.

Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

  • Describe key challenges for your selected health care department in ensuring that its sensitive data are secure. Illustrate with specific examples, and address not only technological issues but also human factors involved in ensuring its system security.
  • What are some implications of security breaches of its health care data? Who might be impacted and how?
  • Summarize security measures that might be taken as well as their potential impact on the staff’s ease of use of the information system.
  • Explain what you believe is the appropriate balance between data security and ease of use.

What are the key elements of strategy formulation?

Application: The Strategic Planning Process Revisited

At the beginning of this course, you developed a graphic representation of the strategic-planning process. How has your understanding of this process grown? For this Application Assignment, you will integrate ideas and perspectives presented throughout this course as you expand upon your initial graphic.

Prepare for this Application Assignment as follows:

  • What insights have you gained about the strategic planning process throughout this course? Consider the following questions:
    • What new insights about the internal and external factors that influence strategic planning have you gained?
    • What are the key elements of strategy formulation?
    • How do organizations translate their strategic objectives into operational realities?
    • What factors contribute to successful implementation or create barriers that need to be addressed?
    • Why it is important for marketing to be aligned with strategic planning?
    • Why is it important to have the monitoring and evaluation criteria in mind throughout the strategic planning process?
    • How has your awareness of the relationships and connections among various aspects of strategic planning grown?

 

  • What insights gained throughout this course that a health care manger should incorporate in their career.
  • Revisit the graphic representation of the strategic-planning process you created for the Week 1 Application. How would you revise your assessment of the strategic-planning cycle in light of what you have learned throughout this course?What recommendations do you now have for creating a strategic-planning process that is flexible yet sets the long-term direction for an organization?

Then write a 2- to 3-page paperthat addresses the following:

  • Create a graphic representation of the strategic-planning process in a health care organization. (This may be a revised version of your Week 1 Application Assignment.)
  • Describe in writing any elements of the strategic-planning process that you are not able to capture in your graphic representation.
  • Describe how your view of the strategic-planning process has grown, including one or more key insights that will guide your future work in health care organizations.

Consider the types and purposes of systems that are implemented in health care organizations and the needs of the diverse stakeholders (including clinicians, staff, and patients) who use these systems

Implementing a Health Information System 

A well designed health information system can lead to safer patient care and to streamlined work processes. Yet in most circumstances, the introduction of new technology brings new hurdles to overcome and can even cause staff frustration and inefficiency. This is especially true if the IT implementation strategy is not appropriately defined and planned.

Prepare for this Discussion as follows:

  • Consider the types and purposes of systems that are implemented in health care organizations and the needs of the diverse stakeholders (including clinicians, staff, and patients) who use these systems.
  • Select a specific type of system in a clinical or administrative area of particular interest to you. Invent a scenario in which this system is being introduced into a particular (hypothetical) health care organization, and you are a member of a cross-functional team charged with leading the system’s implementation.
  • Conduct online research to find out more information, as needed, about the requirements of and challenges related to using this system.
  • Think through the steps needed for a successful implementation of this system, and anticipate likely obstacles, both technical and human, in the implementation phase. For your scenario, what would your implementation plan include?

 

Assignment. Answer each question separately under separate heading in bold please. 2 pages.

  • Briefly, describe the information system and the hypothetical health care organization you have selected for this scenario.
  • As a member of a cross-functional team charged with leading the implementation of this system, describe two challenges that your team might expect to encounter during the implementation process. Provide a rationale for your response.
  • Describe two critical factors for the successful implementation of that system. How do you think these two approaches will help mitigate the anticipated challenges?
