Presentation of your assignment

• Title Page – Clearly setting out the title of your assessment, your name, your student ID, the course name, course code and the name of the lecturer. There must be no graphics or pictures of any kind on the title page.
• Abstract – An abstract is a brief summary of a report, research article, thesis, review, conference proceeding or any in-depth analysis of a particular subject and is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the report’s purpose. In this assessment a ‘descriptive’ abstract will be appropriate.
• Table of Contents – Auto generated using the word processor.
• Introduction – Identifies the purpose of the report, backgrounds of topic, and briefly states the issues or matters you will be discussing within the body of the report. Another way of saying this is that the Introduction outlines the “agenda” of the report.
• Body – This is where you discuss your findings in detail, where appropriate, headings and sub-headings should be included with the logical progression of your report from one idea to the next. Do not use the word ‘Body’ as a heading – identify words that relate to your report for the heading.
• Conclusion – In this section you need to summarise your work and findings. You should introduce no new points in your conclusion.
• References – This is a list of all the books and articles you have cited in your assessment. Use Harvard (author-date) referencing style for your in-text citations as well as your list of references. You need to reference all the materials you have used. Use at least two academic quality journal articles published between 2009-2016. Do not use sources that were published before 2009. Contact your library for assistance in proper referencing.

Cultural Competency Organizational Assessment and Solutions

Scenario: Cross, Bazron, Dennis and Isaacs (1989) defined cultural competence as “a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes and policies that come together as a system, that system, agency or those professionals to work effectively in cross-cultural situations”. Cultural Competency is vital to sustainability of a health care organization and the ability to provide high quality health care to the community in which serves.

Cultural competency consists of a blend of ethics, values, morals, a health care organizations mission statement and the recognition of all employees, patients and visitors are and shall be treated equally.

A new community health center has opened in your county offering basic health care services and preventative care and education to migrant workers, illegal residents and recent immigrants. To ensure the health center promotes and establish a culturally competent environment, as the health center’s chief privacy and compliance officer (CPO) (CCO), you have been tasked to develop a cultural competency training tool kit.

Deliverables: The final product to submit is robust cultural competency training tool kit for departmental and organizational wide use. Your final submission must include the following listed below. A 1-2 page proposal for language assistance as an effort to offer additional pay for bilingual employees willing to serve as a designated language interpreter

Process identifying language interpreters

Determine supplemental pay

Schedule of interpreters (be sure schedule does not interfere with regular work schedule)

Process to locate identified interpreters when needed

Design an actual forty-five (45) minute to one (1) hour virtual training session for departmental and organizational use on the topic of Cultural Competency (the intent is for a future mandatory automated training; therefore audio is required)

Presentation can include clip art, links to additional sources

Must include recorded audio of each presentation’s slide

Topics must include at minimum cultural competency discussion: employees, patient care, importance, alignment with mission, vision of and values of the organization, define and discuss cultural competency, compare and contrast cultural competency and diversity, ethics, health disparities, impact on decision making, measures to establish and maintain a cultural competent organization and environment

Using Microsoft Excel, Word or a survey software, design a tool for attendees to assess the cultural competency training

Identify a list of cultural competency related domains and accompanying knowledge, skills and abilities for attendees to measure the effectiveness of the virtual training session

Integrate data analytics to assess, evaluate and/or recommend local state and federal cultural competence (and/or related) regulatory compliance measures.

Create a security plan for medium sized health care facility

Instructions:

There are two parts to this Assignment. Each one will help you better understand how security breaches are handled and give you the opportunity to create a security plan. Creating this security plan will help you understand what is needed to protect data.

Part I

1. Search the internet for news about security breaches in healthcare and other industries in the last three years. Suggested source for the latest breach information from the Office of Civil Rights:

Source: HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Audit Program: United States Department of Health & Human Services. Retrieved from http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/enforcement/audit/index.html

2. Write a critical essay summarizing the two cases. In your summary, identify the principal threats in each of these cases and what could have been done to minimize these threats.

Part II

1. Using what you learned from Part I, create a security plan for a medium sized health care facility. In your security plan, evaluate how you would approach security threats from both inside and outside the organization. Be sure that you address the following items in your security plan:

a. physical and administrative safeguards: employee education, health information archival and retrieval systems, disaster recovery, storage media

b. access safeguards: authentication, password management

c. network safeguards: cloud computing, mobile devices to deliver health care, firewalls, encryption / decryption

d. security threats of mobile devices used in health care delivery

2. Critique the plan you have written, identifying its strengths, elements that were not covered in the text, and any additional omissions or weaknesses of the plan.

Research the role of social media in the professional world

Assignment: Research the role and purposes of social media in the professional world and investigate the media presence of a company, political campaign, organization, or governmental agency related to your field of study.

Primary Discussion Response:

For this assignment, you will perform an analysis of a company’s use of social media, searching for the strengths and weakness, advantages and liabilities, and general effectiveness of the company’s online presence.

To do this, conduct research online and in the CTU Library databases to understand how and why an effective online presence across multiple platforms is necessary for a company, organization, or agency to be effective, and then present evidence about the online presence of your selected entity.

For your initial post, complete the following steps:

1. Explore at least 4 sources related to the use of social media in the professional world, including the importance, effectiveness, concerns, or strategies of using social media. At least 2 of those sources must come from the library.

2. State the name of your company, and in a couple sentences, explain your interest in the entity.

3. Create a correct APA citation for each of the sources, and under that citation, provide a 2-3 sentence summary of each article’s main ideas

4. Select and examine 3 of your chosen entity’s media platforms, which must include its Web site, and list those platforms. Platforms to evaluate besides social media sites may include, for example, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, YouTube, Twitch, LinkedIn, podcasts, interactive chats, online surveys, video feeds, or any other social media platform. The absence of a presence on a social media site may also warrant discussion.

5. Present a 3-5 sentence summary of the overall effectiveness of the entity’s online presence, the quality of the written communication used across its various platforms, and a brief identification of areas where it could improve on its online and social media strategy.

Peer Responses:

Respond to 2 classmates. In your responses to your classmates, remember to be constructive and polite. Use the following questions to assist you with your responses:

1. What about their summaries seemed useful or interesting?
2. Which quotations or pieces of information seemed the most persuasive?
3. Which analysis seems the most effective to you? Why?

Compare and contrast two figures of the humanities

In the Humanities Project, you will compare and contrast two figures of the Humanities, focusing on their contributions and achievements. You will choose some of the earliest figures dating as far back as the fourteenth century, all the way up to the twentieth century, and compare that figure to a current, but relevant figure of the humanities.

This project should reflect your understanding of these figures and their artistic flare that made them stand out among the rest. Based on research – explain how the earlier figure has influenced the current figure, and analyze how those contributions reflected the culture of each era.

Explain how the concept of family has evolved

4 ESSAY QUESTIONS

Each essay should consist of an introduction, body, and conclusion/summary. Questions consist of several parts. Be sure to answer each part of the essay.

Essays should each be a minimum of 300words in length.

Question 1

Write a three part essay in which do the following:

1) Explain how the concept of “family” has evolved since the colonial period.

2) Explain what basic functions these “family arrangements” fulfill and aspects that may be considered dysfunctional.

3) Take and support a position on whether these changes are ultimately leading to stronger families or more unhealthy families.

Question 2

Explain what your textbook author means when she states that, “[u]nderstanding the family requires an appreciation of racial, ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity both at home and around the world.” Give specific examples to illustrate your sociological understanding of this statement.

Question 3

Explain the following statement made by your textbook author: “Although we like to think that our sexual behavior is spontaneous, sexual scripts shape most of our sexual activities, attitudes, and relationships.” (This essay should incorporate much more than gender.)

Question 4

“As Americans, we tend to think of free choice as being a hallmark of the American system of mate selection. However, an observant visitor might doubt this is an accurate assessment. Social approval and pressures are very influential in determining mate choices.” Demonstrate your understanding of the impact of social forces in mate selection by writing an essay that defends or refutes the above statement. You will need to discuss the sociological (e.g., class, race, etc.) and psychological factors at work influencing our choice of mates. To demonstrate a complete understanding of the issue, this essay should include a brief comparison to societies that support arranged marriage.

Create a mind map to outline your career master plan

Assignment: Career Master Plan

This assignment will assess Competency : Apply concepts related to the role and departmental functions of health information.

DIRECTIONS: Create a mind map (a.k.a. brainstorming diagram) to outline your Career Master Plan. This plan will visually display not only your career goals and trajectory, but also the role that specific professional organizations, such as AHIMA and accrediting bodies like the Joint Commission will play in your career development. You’ll be able to use this document as a guide through your education at NAU, and beyond!

Specifically, your mind map should describe:
•Your career goals (such as the type of position or job you want. ( My career choice HIM)
•Related health information functions/skills (such as imaging, coding, data management, department manager)
•Industry developments you’ll need to pay attention to for continuing success in your career (such as new technology and the ICD-10 transition)
•The role that AHIMA and accrediting bodies (such as the Joint Commission) will play in shaping your career
•Your longterm career map (or outlook): What opportunities for advancement do you see after your entry-level position? What continuing education or certifications will you aim for?

To construct mind map, use symbols and shapes found in Microsoft Word. (If you aren’t familiar with using symbols and shapes in Word, the NAU Online Library’s Learning Express video tutorials can help, or you can view “Creating a Simple Flowchart in Microsoft Word,” a YouTube video hosted by Floyd Jay Winters, for a very quick introduction.)

Alternatively, wish to use a web-based mind mapping tool such as Coggle or WiseMapping.
