Your job is to analyze internal data such as medical records, patient surveys, and incident reports to track trends and help improve patient care delivery. Your supervisor just came back from a seminar on quality benchmarking and has asked about your thoughts on analyzing secondary data from the health care industry as a way to benchmark and measure the organization’s quality performance against its peers. You have been asked to prepare a report on the use of both secondary data and internal data as way to improve quality in your organization. Complete the following: Write a paper comparing and contrasting the collection of secondary data and their uses versus the analysis of current health care records and internal data such as incident reports and patient surveys. Explain how health care organizations use secondary data as a comparison to internal data. Assess the validity and reliability of primary and secondary data in conducting health care research.

Your local town is addressing the following issues in its law-making: 1. Should people under 18 be subjected to legal curfews or restricted driving privileges? 2. Should libraries be required to install filtering software or otherwise censor the materials that they provide? 3. Should insurance companies in your state be required to pay for breast reconstruction, birth control pills, or Viagra? As an active citizen, you ask to research and present to the town’s citizens ONE of the above issues. The governing body has agreed and asks that your presentation be specifically designed to show citizens of the community how and why one of the issues above is controversial and how to be educated consumers of information regarding this issue. They ask this because the citizens will be voting on these issues in future elections and the governing body wants its citizens to be properly educated on these topics. In your presentation, make sure you include the following:   Remember, you are giving a presentation to an audience that does not know much, if anything, about your topic.   Explain the issue, including definitions of common terms involved in the issue and why this issue is controversial. Identify and describe three to four different conclusions that are drawn when arguments related to the issue are made. Summarize the kinds of evidence typically used for each constructed argument related to the issue. Be sure to discuss the reasons these kinds of evidence are used and/or are most effective. Analyze how each of the different conclusions regarding the topic use particular evidence to support their claims, paying particular attention to analyzing how the conclusions rely on different facts, different sources of evidence, or different reasoning from other conclusions. In other words, explain why certain groups would use a particular type of evidence while an opposing group would use a different type of evidence, or how two groups can represent that same data in two completely different ways. Utilize at least three different sources and properly cite them throughout the presentation

You will outline the authentication issues for the network with Active Directory and UNIX servers and clients and what authentication methods can be used to address these issues. The perimeter security for your network design was defined in the previous assignment, and you can now turn your attention to more of the internal operations and security for the network. In this phase, you will examine how to provide security for back-end databases and front-end UNIX and Windows servers. For this assignment, you will continue your work on the Network Security Architecture Design document with a review and evaluation of the requirements for database and server security. You will also provide a thorough description of the techniques that will be used to provide authentication for servers and clients. The project deliverables are as follows: Update the Network Security Architecture Design document title page with a new date and project name. Update previously completed sections based on instructor feedback.
