In 2009, Congress passed the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, so healthcare facilities will adopt and incorporate meaningful use of health information technology (IT). At first only a small number of hospitals had any kind of electronic health records (EHR), but RAND Corporation studies showed success, which motivated other companies to follow (Reider, 2018). However, RAND studies were not accurate predictors of widespread success due to unintended consequences, safety, and efficiency concerns (Reider, 2018).

 
 

Hackers come from all across the globe. In fact, the Pentagon is a very common target for hackers because it is the Defense Department. Not long ago 30,000 plus Pentagon employees’ personal information was exposed due to contractor breach (Martindale, 2018).   Naturally Pentagon officials downplayed the event, and it makes one wonder how much national security information was exposed to foreign powers due to data leaks (Martindale, 2018). 

 
 

Hospitals are also common targets due to multitudes of clients containing personal information that can be sold on the Dark Web to hackers around the world, and antiquated software making them vulnerable (Garrity, 2019).  In fact, where I work, Winter Haven Hospital is still using Windows 7 as an operating system, which is not even supported by Microsoft anymore.

 

With these issues in mind, imagine the potential if hackers had to access prescriber accounts, and prescriptions, especially narcotics. I do not think many hackers have thought of this, because they are more apt to steal from bank accounts and credit cards. Considering the opioid epidemic and the street value of narcotics, it surprises me this sort of hacking is not more commonplace. This indicates to me that most hackers are not sophisticated and lack creativity.  However, be assured they are out there, only not as common; the sophisticated hacker is more attracted to infrastructure manipulation instead due to varients of Stuxnet malware.  Stuxnet would be too difficult to discuss here, but it illustrates how powerful computer hacking can be when it can take down electrical grids.  Computer technology, indeed, released a Pandora’s box.

Write a 175- to 265-word response to the following question:

• How will you use the information you learned in the LinkedIn Learning course as a health care manager? Provide an example.

You should have “met” with an expert clinician who works and/or studies in your chosen research area of interest (for example, masters or doctoral-prepared nurse, MD, PsyD, PhD, PA). 

My area of interest is: Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

This person might be a colleague or peer where you are currently employed, a local hospital or other organization, an author of a research paper you read, or someone you found during an Internet search. 

You could have met with this person in person, using Zoom, or over the phone, but your conversation must be a “verbal discussion” that lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

During the interview, you should have asked the expert: 

1. What gaps in knowledge in the science they believe exist? their recommendations they have for you to conduct research to figure out how to fill these gaps. 

Other questions asked should have included:

– What recommendations do they have for you to explore these knowledge gaps?

– What articles and journals do they recommend for you to read?

– Which organizations would be relevant for you to join and participate in that relates to your clinical research area of interest?

– What tips do they have for being a clinician researcher in nursing research?

After completing your interview, please respond to the following:

– Write a 250– to 300–word summary of what you learned from the interview.

– Write a reflection on how the interview will help guide you in your research as you are thinking about an EBP, QI, or novel research proposal that you will be working on throughout the course.

– Include at least two scholarly sources to support your summary and reflection.

TURNITIN ASSIGNMENT (FREE OF PLAGIARISM)

Provide reflection on your analysis, your feelings about the issues and your personal experiences about

– What concerns you about nursing staffing ratio? What types of staffing issues have you seen in your clinical experience and how did they affect the care patients received (e.g Understaffed unit, Registered nurse sick call with no coverage i.e nursing shortage)
