/in /by

magine you are an Information Security consultant for a small college registrar’s office consisting of the registrar and two assistant registrars, two student workers, and one receptionist. The office is physically located near several other office spaces. The assistant registrars utilize mobile devices over a wireless network to access student records, with the electronic student records being stored on a server located in the building. Additionally, each registrar’s office has a desktop computer that utilizes a wired network to access the server and electronic student records. The receptionist station has a desktop computer that is used to schedule appointments, but cannot access student records. In 1974, Congress enacted the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to help protect the integrity of student records. The college has hired you to ensure technical safeguards are appropriately designed to preserve the integrity of the student records maintained in the registrar’s office.

Write a three to five page paper in which you:

  1. Analyze proper physical access control safeguards and provide sound recommendations to be employed in the registrar’s office.
  2. Recommend the proper audit controls to be employed in the registrar’s office.
  3. Suggest three logical access control methods to restrict unauthorized entities from accessing sensitive information, and explain why you suggested each method.
  4. Analyze the means in which data moves within the organization and identify techniques that may be used to provide transmission security safeguards.
  5. Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Chamberlain College of Nursing: NR-533- Financial Management in HC Org
Pro Formas (graded)
The course outcome for week 5 is as follows:
Formulate a revenue-and-expense budget for a nursing unit within a healthcare organization. (PO 8).
As we begin this week’s lesson, it is important to discuss how pro formas and spreadsheets can be beneficial to the nurse leader in relation to the financial management of a healthcare organization. Last week’s content provided an overview of forecasting and how this can also be beneficial in the financial management of a healthcare organization.

Debbie and her supervisor have moved to the topic of pro formas. Discuss the purpose of pro forma statements and how they may benefit Debbie.
Benefits of Budgeting
As we begin this week’s lesson, it is important to discuss how pro formas and spreadsheets can be beneficial to the nurse leader in relation to the financial management of a healthcare organization. Last week’s content provided an overview of forecasting and how this can also be beneficial in the financial management of a healthcare organization.
Budgeting Process

A timeline builds in time the leader may need to provide additional information to justify a certain budget-item request to senior leadership.
A sample budget timeline can be viewed in your textbook reading this week. The rationale for a new budget item or an increase in a budget line item may be clear to us, as the leaders, but may not be clear to senior leadership.
When developing a budget, aspects of the overall budget must be considered and reviewed carefully to ensure quality of patient care is not compromised. Reimbursements for organizations are becoming more closely tied to outcomes to providing high-quality care that is at the forefront of healthcare leaders (Finkler, Jones, & Kovner, 2013). Some leaders and organizations may also adopt a specific performance budget to target a specific goal or multiple goals for an area or organization.

For example, an organization may wish to increase its patient-satisfaction scores throughout the organization.
Some quantified areas of a budget may include the number of patient days or other expected specific service-area measures. The leader considers the goals, mission, vision, philosophy, policies, and organization-wide assumptions of the healthcare organization when preparing the annual budget.Generally, the organization will provide a set of specific, measurable objectives the budget should accomplish. This information should be communicated to leaders before the budget process is initiated. Often, the final budget is a compromise between the leader and senior leadership.

Pro forma financial statements are a summary of a financial organization’s position at a given time (Finkler, Jones, & Kovner, 2013).
Most organizations utilize a financial-summary statement in some format, which typically includes their financial position at the end of the fiscal year, revenues and expenses, and cash receipts and payments.
One of the most common types of financial statements is the balance sheet. The balance sheet may also be termed the statement of financial position. The pro forma balance sheet indicates, for each future year, what the end-of-the-year financial-projections results will reflect. Generally, any projections longer than 3 years would not be an accurate reflection due to the changes that occur within healthcare.
Summary
This week, we discussed pro forma concepts and how they can assist the nurse leader in his or her role. Next week, we will discuss various aspects of financial risk the nurse manager may encounter within a healthcare organization.

Incarcerated people
Health coverage for incarcerated people
If you’re incarcerated, some special rules apply to your health care options.
Incarceration and the Marketplace
For purposes of the Marketplace, “incarcerated” means serving a term in prison or jail.
• Incarceration doesn’t mean living at home or in a residential facility under supervision of the criminal justice system, or living there voluntarily. In other words, incarceration doesn’t include being on probation, parole, or home confinement.
• You’re not considered incarcerated if you’re in jail or prison pending disposition of charges—in other words, being held but not convicted of a crime.
If you’re incarcerated, you can’t use the Marketplace to buy a private insurance plan. But after you’re released you can.
The Marketplace after release from incarceration
When you apply for health coverage after being released from incarceration, you may qualify for lower costs on monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs. This will depend on your household size and income during the year you’re seeking coverage.
After you’re released, you have a 60-day Special Enrollment Period to sign up for private health coverage. During this time, you can enroll in private health insurance even if it’s outside the Marketplace open enrollment period.
After this 60-day Special Enrollment Period, you can’t buy private health insurance until the next Marketplace open enrollment period (unless you qualify for another Special Enrollment Period).
Incarcerated people and the fee for being uninsured
Because you aren’t eligible to buy private health insurance through the Marketplace while in prison or jail, you don’t have to pay the penalty that some others without insurance must pay.
After you’re released, you must either have health coverage, pay the fee, or get an exemption.
If you’re incarcerated pending disposition of charges
If you’re in jail or prison but haven’t been convicted of a crime, you may use the Marketplace to buy a private health insurance plan. This assumes you are otherwise eligible to get coverage through the Marketplace.
Incarceration and Medicaid
If you’re incarcerated you can use the Marketplace to apply for Medicaid coverage in your state. Medicaid won’t pay for your medical care while you’re in prison or jail. But if you enroll in Medicaid while you’re incarcerated you may be able to get needed care more quickly after you’re released.
There are 3 ways to apply for Medicaid:
• Online, at either HealthCare.gov or your state’s Marketplace website. (Get a checklist that will help you gather needed information before you apply (PDF).)
• With a Marketplace paper application (PDF) that you fill out and mail in.
• Directly through your state Medicaid office. Use the “Get state information” dropdown menu on this Medicaid page to get contact information for your state Medicaid office.
State Medicaid policies and incarceration
A number of state Medicaid policies may influence your decision to apply for Medicaid while in jail or prison. These include:
• Whether your state has decided to expand Medicaid coverage to all adults with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level
• Whether incarcerated people can stay enrolled while in prison or jail. Remember that enrolling in Medicaid while incarcerated doesn’t allow Medicaid to pay the cost of your care while in prison or jail. But it may help you get needed care more quickly after you’re released.

Student Responses

Fred

When it comes to a global supply chain, there is many risks involved. When managing a supply chain, you to take into consideration these risks and how they could possibly affect operations. These risks can usually fall in different categories, such as supply risks, demands risks, and operational risks. “The most significant factors impacting supply chain risks are environmental, geopolitical, economic and technological. Each factor has a probability of causing disruptions within global supply chains” (Hofstra.edu) Environmental risks seem to be the risk that would occur those most, and are not so easy to plan for. Conflicts and trade restriction can be planned for, though they may be difficult, it is something that can be managed, and have the outcome influenced. Economic changes can be compensated for through increased pricing, or by placing pressure on countries or companies who impose undo taxation and tariffs, on short notice or unexpectedly. Companies can also renegotiate tariffs and taxes in order to continue to do business with a company or within that part of the world. Having to take measures to mitigate things such as theft and piracy, can drive up cost, and can have a huge affect on how companies manage the supply chain.

How can companies mitigate these risks?

Ways to mitigate risk can come in various forms. Checking a carriers financial stability, capacity, and performance is something that will need to be watched and evaluated consistently, to ensure the needs of a company are being met. Furthermore, by putting things in writing, ensure companies uphold their end of the agreement, and put risk and financial responsibility where it belongs when things go wrong, or not according to plan. Security at ports and on various mode of transport, can play a key role in mitigating things such as theft and piracy risks. “After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the International Maritime Organization developed a set of security procedures known as the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS). The purpose of the ISPS is to assess and address risks on a case-by-case basis with measures that reduce the threat to, or vulnerability of, ships and ports.” (inboundlogistics.com)

As measures are taken to mitigate and eliminate risks, some risks have to be excepted. Not every risk can be totally eliminated. Therefore, most risk can only be reduced, by taking various prudent measures in the supply chain process.

What are the sources of risks faced by the global supply chain?

The global supply chain faces three types of risks on a daily basis. The three types are supply risks, demand risks, and operational risks. Supply risks are disruptions that impact inbound supply and result in a supply chain being unable to meet demand in terms of quality of parts, quantity, and finished goods. Demand risks are disruptions that impact outgoing supply because demand fluctuations are unexpected. Operational risks are disruptions that impact a supply chain in a way that prevents the supply chain from providing supply services or finished good within allowable time, cost, or quality. Transportation is one of the most significant operational risks to the global supply chain. There are numerous factors that go into global supply chain risks. The factors include environmental, geopolitical, economic, and technological. Some of these risk factors can be mitigated and some cannot. For example, natural disasters and extreme weather cannot be mitigated or affected. However, theft, illicit trade, and infrastructure failures can be prevented completely with the proper preparation.

2. How can companies mitigate these risks?

Companies can mitigate the risks faced by the global supply chain by implementing different operational concepts. Depending on the type of company and the product being produced and distributed the Six Sigma concept can drastically increase operations and mitigate risk. Some other types of companies can utilize the Quick Response concept. There are many different approaches to mitigating risk in the supply chain world, but these are two tried and true concepts that have a good track record.
