Explain with an example of a chronic disease surveillance system.

/in /by

State and local laws require providers such as physicians and laboratories to report diseases or certain diagnosed health conditions. These notifiable diseases or health conditions vary by state. For some communicable diseases, this type of passive surveillance helps identify outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics, and possible bioterrorism.
When thinking about chronic diseases, how do you perceive the purpose and utility of passive surveillance as an epidemiological tool? Explain with an example of a chronic disease surveillance system. Would you advocate the reporting of selected chronic conditions? Why?
Justify your response using examples and reasoning. Comment on the postings of at least two classmates, explaining whether you agree or disagree with their views.
Evaluation Criteria:
Explained, with an example of a chronic disease surveillance system, how you perceive the purpose and utility of passive surveillance as an epidemiological tool.Explained whether the reporting of selected chronic conditions would be advocated.Justified answers with appropriate research and reasoning by using examples and references from textbooks, the South University Online Library, and other acceptable references, citing the sources in APA format.Commented on the postings of at least two classmates by asking questions, provided a point of view with a rationale, challenged a point of the discussion, or made a relationship between two or more points.

Describe the metric that is currently used to measure the soundness of the workflow. Is it effective?

/in /by

Workflow analysis aims to determine workflow patterns that maximize the effective use of resources and minimize activities that do not add value. There are a variety of tools that can be used to analyze the workflow of processes and clarify potential avenues for eliminating waste. Flowcharts are a basic and commonly used workflow analysis method that can help highlight areas in need of streamlining.
In this Assignment, you select a common event that occurs regularly in your organization and create a flowchart representing the workflow. You analyze the process you have diagrammed and propose changes for improvement.
To prepare:
Identify a common, simple event that frequently occurs in your organization that you would like to evaluate.Consider how you would design a flowchart to represent the current workflow.Consider what metrics you would use to determine the effectiveness of the current workflow and identify areas of waste.To complete:
Write a 3- to 5-page paper which includes the following:
Create a simple flowchart of the activity you selected. (Review the Sample Workflow of Answering a Telephone in an Office document found in this week’s Learning Resources for an example.)Next, in your paper:Explain the process you have diagrammed.For each step or decision point in the process, identify the following:Who does this step? (It can be several people.)What technology is used?What policies and rules are involved in determining how, when, why, or where the step is executed?What information is needed for the execution of this step?Describe the metric that is currently used to measure the soundness of the workflow. Is it effective?Describe any areas where improvements could occur and propose changes that could bring about these improvements in the workflow.Summarize why it is important to be aware of the flow of an activity.Remember to include a cover page, introduction, and summary for your paper.

Biological causes of crime discussion

/in /by

Natalie was growing concerned about her daughter Brandi’s school performance. Her grades had dropped since the beginning of the school year, and she seemed reluctant to go to school. On some days, she complained of vague symptoms, such as stomachache or headache. On other days, she simply did not get out of bed. Natalie took her to the doctor, but there was no definitive diagnosis. She questioned Brandi about any problems at school, but Brandi was uncommonly quiet. Natalie then looked at Brandi’s Facebook page and saw a series of comments from Brandi’s friends about a school bully. When Natalie confronted Brandi, the child broke down crying and told the whole story. Another girl, who was two years ahead of her in school, was bullying her. She would tease Brandi in school, leave nasty messages on her Facebook page, and even threatened her on several occasions.
Natalie was furious and immediately arranged a meeting with the teacher and school principal. The school officials attempted to address the problem by speaking to the girl and her parents. The parents placed their daughter in treatment; she was diagnosed with a behavior disorder and put on medication, which seemed to work. Both the girl’s parents and the school officials explained to Natalie that the girl had an underlying medical condition that caused her to become angry and lack impulse control. The school officials were reluctant to suspend the girl because it was “not her fault” but rather a “biological factor” causing the behavior.
Natalie was still upset. She did not understand why her own daughter should suffer. She had a nagging suspicion that the bully’s parents were using the biological cause as an excuse for their daughter’s bad behavior.
Research the biological causes of crime and the eugenics movement using the textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.
Based on the scenario, and drawing on your readings and research, respond to the following:

Why do you think some people are troubled by the idea that crime has a biological cause? Support your response using an article from the popular media presenting the biological argument for criminal behavior.

In what way may views of biological causes of crime be related to the eugenics movement? Give reasons using a scholarly, peer-reviewed article either for or against the eugenics movement.

Write your initial response in 4–6 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Assignment Requirements
Imagine that you are a sophomore at Premier College. Over the past few months, you have not been well due to increased amounts of academic pressure and found yourself unable to concentrate in class or sleep well at night. You went to the student medical center for evaluation and, after consulting with the staff doctor, you were issued a prescription for the treatment of depression.
A few days later, one of your professors tells you that he too has had to take medicine for depression in the past. You ask him how he knew about your situation, and he replied that all student medical records are available to every instructor and staff member at Premier College. Hearing this, you feel that your privacy rights have been violated.
That afternoon you research privacy rights on the Internet and learn that filing a HIPAA privacy complaint to the OCR had been a tedious process before July 2009. On July 27, 2009, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) delegated to the Director of OCR the authority to administer and enforce the HIPAA Security Rule. This action improved HHS’ ability to protect individuals’ health information by combining the authority for administration and enforcement of federal standards for health information privacy and security. Those standards are outlined in the HIPAA legislation. With the new regulation, the process of filing a privacy complaint has become simpler and more effective.
Then you research the steps involved with filing a privacy complaint with the OCR (http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints/index.html), download the Health Information Privacy Complaint form at (http://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints/hipcomplaintform.pdf), and complete the form. While working on the form, you realize some sections are critical to your case and must be addressed carefully.
You decide to write about your experience in a paper for your Legal Issues in Information Security class. For this assignment:
1. Identify the early iterations of the HIPAA act and how the law has been modified to facilitate easier access to consumer complaints and enforcement.
2. Describe the overall process of submitting a health information privacy complaint to the OCR.
3. Identify specific sections of the complaint form that need critical attention while completing the form.
4. Analyze a few situations that can occur if the critical sections are not well identified.
5. Draft a brief summary, collating all your findings.

Play Therapy Skills Practice Transcript

Play Therapy Skills Practice Transcript
For this discussion, you will focus on The Case of Luis that was presented in Unit 2. First, watch the short Video Role-Play media depicting five key play therapy skills in the Unit 6 Studies. Then, review The Case of Luis and the discussion instructions that follow:
The Case of Luis
Luis is in the fourth grade. His mother is concerned that he may need counseling because he has not grown out of a fear he has had since he was young that is now interfering with developing peer friendships. Luis is afraid of vomiting in a public place. As you speak with him, you learn that when he was in kindergarten, he once got upset and cried so much that he vomited. His teacher was not particularly sympathetic and his parents could not be reached for a while, so he spent several hours with soiled clothes, feeling very ashamed and embarrassed. Subsequently, he became fearful that he might vomit again, with no reason or warning. His behaviors have become more restricted over the years, and now he will not eat if his family goes out to dinner because he fears the food might make him sick. He eats very little at school—just a few foods that he has decided are safe—and his peers have begun to tease him. If he eats something and starts worrying about vomiting, he soon begins to feel sick and often does vomit. So he has begun avoiding more and more social occasions; he declines invitations to birthday parties and sleepovers because he does not want to refuse to eat (and risk being teased) but he is afraid that he will vomit if he does eat. His mother says she has always had trouble with a sensitive stomach so she is very sympathetic toward Luis’s fears. However, Luis’s pediatrician says he can find no medical problem with Luis.
To complete this discussion:

Assume that you are the counselor for Luis and that you are going to engage in individual play therapy with him.
Consider the four moments, listed below, in therapy and create a hypothetical transcript of your interaction with Luis for each of the four moments in therapy demonstrating the key play therapy skills in the Video Role Plays in this unit. Use the Counseling Transcript Template, linked in Resources (which you also used in the Unit 2 discussion: Practice Child Counseling Skills) to present your transcript. Be sure to label and provide a rationale for the play therapy skills you use. As the counselor, your transcript should demonstrate these foundational play therapy skills:

Structuring the beginning of the session.
Tracking.
Reflecting and empathic listening.
Therapeutic limit setting.

Moment 1: Luis and his mother show up for his first session and you have just completed the informed consent process. Moment 2: Luis begins to draw a picture. Moment 3: Luis picks up a stuffed animal and begins to rock it in his arms. Moment 4: Luis picks up a crayon or toy, and breaks it while watching to see what you would do.
Follow these instructions to create your hypothetical transcript with your responses to these four moments:

Counseling Transcripts should have three columns .

The left-most column designates who was speaking –the client or the counselor.
The center column depicts what was said.
The third column labels the skill that the counselor used and the counselor’s intentions [in brackets].
The skill should come from the list of Universal Counseling Skills in Counseling Children, pages 84–85.
The intention should apply one of the Purposes listed in the text’s table to the interaction with the client.

Each talk turn should be on its own row.
You may use the template, linked in Resources, after deleting the instructions, or create your own form that meets Specifications 1 and 2. Add more rows if necessary.
Your transcript should be no more than two pages.

In addition to the transcript, provide an initial response to briefly address the following:

Which skills were easiest for you to use? Which were the hardest?
What challenges would you anticipate in using play therapy in your future work as a counselor?
How might culture and personal beliefs come into play when working with a child client in play therapy?

In addition to the above, please describe two play therapy techniques that you did NOT use and how you could implement them in play therapy. Use the first person voice when describing your skills and reactions. Use the third person to support your analyses with references from course readings. Cite at least two sources to support your thoughts in this post.

Identify and describe the situations and the people involved.
