Ethical and Security Issues of HIT

HIT and impact on patient privacy Health Information Technology is increasingly being adopted across the healthcare sector given its innumerable benefits in improving patient care and augmenting the delivery of care. With HIT, provision of cost effective healthcare is also plausible through nurses. However, with technology also comes varied challenges and chief among these issues that come with HIT is patient privacy. With recent news documenting massive breaches of patient information, the usefulness of HIT and possible adoption strategies have been largely watered down. According to McGonigle and Mastrian, (2014) the ethical concerns that come with HIT are equally ...

The contemporary situation in the U.S. regarding its foreign policy is still unknown. By and large, the latter’s foundations for the next four years will be defined by the President through his behavior on the international arena and the relevant orders. However, the stable to some extent foreign policy of the United States can be different from the previous years. In fact, the worries have been expressed throughout the presidential campaign, as two adverse points of view were supported. One of them was to remain the supporter of NATO, alien for all the friendly states of Europe, East ...

Riis’s account is the quintessential example of the melting pot concept of American society in action. It describes New York City as an incredibly cosmopolitan blending nationalities and ethnicities, each one coming from successive waves immigration to the United States. Not only does it defy the idea that there is some default ‘standard American’ look and culture, it presents native born Americans as almost a minority, and if not then usually not more than a generation or two removed from their own ingress into the Land of the Free. While he notably does not mention the presence of ...

The Transportation Industry is considered to be cyclical in nature because the revenues and profits of companies operating in this category are directly tied-in with economic booms and recessions. This implies that when the business cycle in a country hits a high, there is tremendous growth in this industry, which also triggers increased employment . This is primarily because whenever the economy of a country is doing well and Gross Domestic Product rates register an increasing trend, there is increased production of goods by the manufacturing industry as well. The underlying reason for this increase in production volumes is increased ...

Analysis of Incident Investigation Data for Causal Factors

Abstract Accidents may be caused by various conditions: the worker’s physical and psychological condition, safety rules control, overload at work, lack of manual to prevent accidents from happening. If the worker in poor physical condition, tired and incapable of thinking clearly, he should not be allowed to work any further for safety reasons, and those conditions of workers should be defined by the company’s safety control officers before letting him start the job. Giving overtime to workers also needs careful test of workers’ physical condition. Sometimes exploited may not be equipped with safety terms. Working with dangerous ...

Humans have long been capable of being a space-faring civilization. Thanks to the numerous advancements and breakthroughs in engineering, communications, and perhaps most importantly, rocket technology, people from various countries managed to send objects and humans to space. The space age officially started when the Soviet Union’s space exploration agency successfully launched its first man made object into the earth’s orbit. It was named Sputnik 1, a man-made satellite. Because the post-World War Two era was mostly a rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union, it did not take long for the United States, under ...

Introduction

The government, among other duties, protects citizens in the nation and promotes their well-being. In many occasions, the government works together with the private sector groups with the aim of managing emergencies. The private sector plays a major role before and after the incident (Sylves & Clark, 2015). Before the incident, the sector provides protection to the welfare of the employees in the workplace. The private sector is also involved in the decision-making process on how to thwart emergency. The non-governmental organizations play a major role before, during and after the incident. For instance, many NGO’s provide shelter, food ...

In an analysis of the documented homicides in Chicago, Ford Fessenden and Haeyoun Park’s Chicago’s Murder Problem reported a pattern that until recently remained predictable and somewhat within the same range as other cities in the United States. According to the reporters, between 1996 and 2003, there was a steady decrease in the homicide rates before “progress stalled” in 2004 and murder-related crimes remained stable until 2013 (Ford and Park par.1). However, by 2014, Chicago's homicide rates assumed an “upward trajectory,” and the writers presume that they remain so as tensions over race and police conduct continue ...

Population dynamics is a central area of study in most humanities. Demographic trends seem to indicate that the global population would increase in the future. However, some critics argue that this may not be the case. Is the world population going to increase or decrease in the future? A close analysis of the present trends and the future projections indicate that the demographic trends would decline significantly. The first major reason why the population would decrease is the birth rate. Since the industrial revolution, the world population has been growing steadily. However, according to Friedman (2015), the population explosion ...

Fostering Successful Emergency Planning

Fostering a successful emergency plan ensures that the plan focuses on intensive training and exercises. In doing so, the plan reinforces emergency preparedness for a number of potential emergencies. The exercises that emergency planners can create to test their plans include trial or testing through prototypes and operations, rehearsing the plan and explaining the plan to others and memorizing it (‎Perry, 2016). The best way to access emergencies is through trials. I believe this is true because when accessing emergency systems using trial, one bases the trial on socialist systems. The use of socialist systems in responding to emergencies ...

On 23rd June 2016, Britain voted out of the European Union through a referendum. The decision by the Britons marked a momentous occasion in history as different consequences were seen.

1. The Financial Crisis: Avoidable but Inevitable Theoretically, the financial crisis could have been avoided as investigation findings revealed . Under the circumstances however, the crisis was an inevitable consequence of everything that was going. The Federal inquiry concluded that the 2008 financial crisis could have been avoided. The crisis was the result of “widespread failures in government regulation, corporate mismanagement and heedless risk-taking by Wall Street”. It was the result of “greed, ineptitude or both” on the part of government and the private sector. Among the persons found responsible for the crisis included Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and, ...

Background

There have been numerous conspiracy theories offered in lieu of explanations surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) in 1963(“John F. Kennedy: Assassination or Conspiracy, n.d.”).

Cadbury Strategic Ambiguity

In 2009, Cadbury introduced a new advertisement where two school children made their eyebrows move to music. The advertisement was part of Cadbury’s strategy of preparing creative content for the company and capturing the attention of the audience. The advertisement is considered vague and strange as it does not make it clear why the students are moving their eyebrows or if eating Cadbury eggs is making their eyebrows move. The play on anonymity is the ultimate of the advertisement and makes the audience watch the whole ad for its creativity. The audience keeps guessing the reason for the ...

Adolf Hitler’s rise to power was in a time when Germany was experiencing a grim political and economic condition. The economic depression that hit the world economy during the 1930s had adversely affected the country, that extreme poverty leads the people to near hopelessness. This was in addition to the still fresh and humiliating defeat of the German military in WWI, and historians claimed that the defeat became the fabric that propelled Hitler’s political and military agenda. People were near the brink of helplessness that they believed anyone who convincingly talked about getting them out of their ...

Abstract

STPA (System-Theoretic Process Analysis), is a new hazard analysis technique designed to “eliminate or control scenarios” before they result in losses (Leveson 2011). STPA is based upon an analysis of loss of functional control of a process rather than on an analysis of failure of individual components. Therefore, the model that is used in STPA is a functional control diagram rather than a physical component diagram (Leveson 2011). STPA provides guidance to the users, as opposed to other hazard analyses. In addition, STPA can be used before a system ...

Some places in Rwanda are prone to disasters. The most frequent natural disasters are floods and landslides, and both have a tremendous impact on human lives, property, infrastructure and the environment.

Almost every parent in the world has a hard time disciplining their child, and they are forced to hitting and beating their children in order to scare them into obedience. While it may work in preventing them from being disobedient, it is not an effective, long-term solution in teaching them to behave. In my opinion, physical punishment is not the answer to discipline a child rather it is an ineffective and dangerous method of teaching them. Firstly, young children find it hard to understand why they have been hit by their parent and whether it was something restricted to ...
