B1. Discuss what each recommended step entails. The organization will need to employ an experienced security professional that will be able to effectively implement ISMS plans, and follow the continuous PDCA model for continuous review and improvement of ISMS plan. Security and vulnerability assessment can be performed in house on a regular basis and when a system change or updates are applied. And use a third party to perform additional risk assessment. B2. Justify each recommended step. Information Security Management System (ISMS) plan offers a systematic process for designing, implementing, maintaining, and auditing an organization’s information system security objectives using Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) process. If a qualified security professional is not employed to continually monitor and review ISMS plan, its effectiveness will tend to deteriorate. And constant security and vulnerability assessment, using scanners from different vendors will efficiently aid the security professional to proactively discover threats and mitigate it because attacker exploits the

I wanted to give you guys a more detail explanation about the opportunity at Children's Hospital. AltaMed Body Works Clinic has a 7-week nutrition program for overweight or obese children to attend with their parents. As families are being weight/measured and seen by a pediatrician, we will be preparing our material to teach with Dr. Kreutzer (RD) the nutrition curriculum part of the program. We can teach either the parents or the kids. I personally would prefer the kids curriculum since it's a bit easier, but we can decide that later as a group.
Patient Centered care is a concept where the healthcare providers stand in the patient’s position and think about how the patients want to be treated before navigating into how they themselves want to continue with the procedure. It is a strong commitment for the healthcare personnel to be able to manage and regard the patients as thinking and feeling people with the potential to develop and adjust. Thus, the healthcare team needs to be compatible, open-minded and courteous in order to provide the best care possible for the patients.
It is best to prevent security incidents from occurring in the first place – therefore prevention should be a top priority for the IT staff at CEG. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends five main categories of incident prevention; risk assessments, host security, network security, malware prevention, and user awareness training (Cichonski P., Grance T., Millar T., & Scarfone K., 2012 p.24). Risks of the various types of possible security incidents should be identified and prioritized based on likelihood and potential harm. Risk assessment should be periodic and ongoing. Host security is achieved by hardening each host on the network. Host hardening includes keeping current on the latest software patches, enabling and monitoring audit logs, and assigning permissions based on a system of least privilege. Network security is primarily concerned with securing the perimeter of the network to prevent unauthorized intrusion. This includes the use of firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), securing VPN, and blocking unnecessary ports. All hosts on the network must run and regularly update malware protection software. And all employees should...
D.P. receives an abundance of support in her life. She finds most of her motivation from her family because family means the world to her. The members in her family will encourage her to do her best along with attending diabetic information groups. She finds the support and motivation from her family to be a great way to help deal with her diabetes. Other family members who have diabetes or know someone else with diabetes helps her realize that this is not necessarily an ending of freedom or her life. The health care professionals also have an impact on D.P.’s motivational level as they give her options and techniques to improve her ways of living in order to cope with diabetes. Fox and Chesla (2008) see the positive inspirational outcome a
HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) was put in place by the Federal Government for several reasons; better portability of health insurance for employees, to prevent fraud and abuse within the healthcare delivery system, and simplification of administrative functions associated with healthcare delivery (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2012). Due to sensitive healthcare information being shared federal regulations were also put into place, resulting in the “Privacy Rule” and “Security Rule”. The Privacy Rule limits the use and disclosure of patient information. The Security Rule protects the patients’ healthcare information from improper use or disclosure, to maintain information integrity, and ensure its availability (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2012). Both regulations apply to protected health information (PHI) which is any form of health information that can be used to identify an individual patient. Practitioners who refer to HIPPA are not referring to the act itself but the “Privacy Rule” and “Security Rule” (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2012). It is extremely important to understand these concepts as a student in the clinical setting and how each hospital enforces these concepts. Before starting at any clinical site there is an extensive orientation about HIPPA regarding what is appropriate and not appropriate when it comes to patient information and the repercussions of violating HIPPA. In this paper I will discuss Akron General’s rules and policies regarding their EHR, PHI, EPHI, and social media.

As someone who is in charge of the wellness program here at UIW, my job is to oversee all the aspects and find out what needs amending or implementation. There are six dimensions of wellness and each one has their benefits. The purpose is to take a look at each dimension of wellness and try to make some improvements for the staff and students.
There is constant concern about different kinds of devices and tools because of their vulnerability: laptops; personal computers in the home; libraries and public workstations; USB Flash Drives and email, to name a few.

This paper discusses three risk analysis methodologies, specifically, MSRAM, OCTAVE, and CRAMM and provides a detailed description of each and how they incorporate risk into a platform for decision makers to use in their endeavors to prevent, protect, mitigate, respond, and in recovery measures as part of the risk assessment and management processes.

The first thing that we must consider about Information Security is that there is not a final destination at which we can arrive. IT Security is an ongoing set of processes and activities that requires attention and expertise on a daily basis. It is important to understand that systems are not secured by themselves and it is our responsibility to maintain and improve them periodically as required. It is of vital importance to establish the appropriate mechanisms and requirements in order to support the company’s CIA triad. The following report will provide you guidance about auditing and hardening techniques applied though the 7 Domains by utilizing IT Security Best Practices.
A critical part of network planning involves setting up of security mechanisms. Deploying the network with security configuration provides superior visibility, continuous control and advanced threat protection across the extended network. Additionally, security procedures define policies to monitor the network for securing critical data, obtain visibility, mitigate threats, identify and correlate discrepancies.
