Case Study Public Health and Informatics

This is a case analysis in which you will apply ethical decision making tools and/or concepts. The case is very short so you do not have a lot of facts to work with. Here is what you need to do:
1. Read the assigned readings and write up your answers to the case study questions below. Your finished product should be at least 600 words

2. Please reference the assigned readings and any outside sources you use using APA style citation. We are looking for you to cite sources that add to the flavor of the discussion. Your unsubstantiated opinion will not suffice. Also, when giving examples, please try to provide examples other than what you found in the assigned readings.

Case Study and Discovery Questions

(This case comes from page 28 of the chapter you are assigned to read. Please answer the questions below.)

Case study

Mary Ruiz is the HIM manager for an HMO in Autotown, Indiana. In 1999, she noticed an unusually large number of recorded cases of neurologic damage to the bladders of patients who were seen by several of the group?s physicians. Mary alerted her supervisor, Mr. King, about the apparent increase in cases and proposed that she create a special database to track the occurrence of this condition. Mr. King told her not to waste her time.

Against her supervisor?s directives, Mary developed the database. Upon analyzing the data, Mary realized that all the affected patients worked in the same plant?a facility that manufactured automobile and truck seats. Alarmed by this discovery, Mary again approached her supervisor, this time with the suggestion that health authorities be notified of the increased incidence of this rare form of bladder disease. Again Mr. King rejected her suggestion. He reminded Mary that her primary responsibility was to provide data management services to the HMO healthcare team and to protect the confidentiality of patient records. He also reminded Mary that the manufacturing facility had the largest employee enrollment of any of the HMO?s clients and that the company was one of Autotown?s largest employers.

Case Study Discovery Questions

1. Assume that Mary lives in a state with a law similar to that of Colorado, which requires ?persons or employees having knowledge of exposure of large numbers or specific groups of persons to a known or suspected public health hazard [to] report such disease, outbreak or epidemic? (State of Colorado Rules and Regulations Pertaining to the Detection, Monitoring, and Investigation of Environmental and Chronic Diseases, 6 CCR-1009-7). Should Mary take it upon herself to notify the health authorities?

2. What if Mary?s state does not have that kind of law on the books? Does Mary have an ethical obligation to come forward with the evidence, even though she was told not to by her supervisor? Are there any actions that Mary can take to fulfill her conflicting obligations to the HMO?s patients, to her employer, to the automotive company, and to the public?

3. Does the HMO have an ethical duty to report the situation to governmental authorities?

Select a type of aphasia (or pure alexia, dyslexia, dysgraphia) and describe the underlying functional neuroanatomy and possible causes of damage to that anatomy that would result in the dysfunction. What deficits would be expected, and what functions would remain intact?

Select a type of aphasia (or pure alexia, dyslexia, dysgraphia) and describe the underlying functional neuroanatomy and possible causes of damage to that anatomy that would result in the dysfunction. What deficits would be expected, and what functions would remain intact? How would the aphasia affect a child functionally at different levels of development? What interventions might be used with a child affected by your selected aphasia?

parental involvement case

Adam is a fifth-grader diagnosed with a learning disability who receives instruction for all core subjects in the resource room with the special education teacher. He resides with his elderly grandparents who have full custody of him, while his older sister who was born with severe complications from fetal alcohol syndrome resides in a facility where she receives around-the-clock care. Adam does not have any contact with his biological mother and never knew his biological father. His grandparents are the only caregivers he has ever known and they are overwhelmed and feel unprepared to adequately address Adam?s increased oppositional behaviors and lack of academic progress. They are reluctant to meet with any school personnel as they feel the school should take care of school matters while they take care of the home matters.
Based on the provided scenario, complete a chart utilizing the following:
1.Describe five items from the scenario affecting the level of parental involvement.
2.For every item in column 1, describe the ideal level of parental involvement.
3.Specify strategies and actions to be implemented to achieve the ideal level of parental involvement described in column 2.
4.Identify technologies to be implemented in connection with column 3.

Investment and Performance

Determining Returns on Investment and Performance
Costs related to the expansion and enhancement of an organization can be just as essential (and large) as costs related to routine business operations. It is important for companies to avoid stagnation and remain abreast of market trends and innovation. This can be achieved through marketing and research and development (R&D), which, as all other business functions, need funding and budgeting. As an HR manager, think about how innovation can be encouraged through initiatives which reward and develop employees.

You will analyze costs related to marketing and R&D. You will review the following scenarios and information and use the concepts of return on investment, performance, and other ideas to draw conclusions related to questions posed in the prompts.

You will set up and use an Excel spreadsheet for all your calculations for the problems(attached).

Compare and Contrast Regional Natural Disasters and Their Incident Management

You have just been hired by the Centervale Fire Department and are assigned to the Centervale Emergency Management Crisis Center (CEMCC). Your supervisor has tasked you with creating an overview of natural disasters in the United States. The CEMCC wants a comparative analysis in order to seek out causal relationships in preparation and response methodologies. It hopes to use this analysis to identify and improve upon its own department?s established standards and principles.

The FEMA has gathered information identifying natural disasters throughout the United States and generated a map called the Presidential Disaster Declaration, which outlines all the disasters for each area of the United States: http://www.fema.gov/pdf/hazard/map/declarationsmap2000_07.pdf

Review all of the regions on the Presidential Disaster Declaration. Analyze the one in which you reside (domicile region) and another one of your choice. Research major disasters for all the regions using information provided by FEMA and other research. Create a 6?8-page report that compares and contrasts the regions? natural disasters? incident management responses.

In the report, complete the following:

Develop a national model (ex: graph, chart, spreadsheet, etc.) listing natural disasters and organize these into regions.

Identify the regional incident management protocols.

Perform a comparative analysis between the domicile region?s and outlying regions? disaster similarities:

Domicile region versus outlying regions

Disaster similarities

Individual incident management protocol similarities (e.g., evacuation, logistics, food and water, and medical care)

Analyze, distinguish, and point out which processes are more effective and which are less effective than the domicile protocols.

Formulate hypotheses and suggest any modifications to your above analysis.
