The Governmental Role in Healthcare

Expand your understanding of how important watershed moments have pushed healthcare systems to where they are today (watershed: an event marking a unique or important historical change of course or one on which important developments depend). Refer to the full discussion details in the weekly content folder and the rubric to complete this assignment. Include the following aspects in the discussion:

• Complete readings and videos.
• How do you think the founding fathers viewed healthcare?
• Has this view changed among the majority in the US and do you agree? Why or why not?
• List five pivotal impacts that changed the direction of healthcare over the centuries.
• Discuss if you think we can improve healthcare for all without socialized medicine.
• Cite any references. Proper grammar, sentence structure, and spelling are required. Use your own words. Copying and pasting are not allowed.

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) provide a secure data flow between two endpoints. There are not only different types of VPNs, but there are also different Internet security standards for implementing security in these different VPN types.

In this assignment, you will classify the three different types of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). You will compare the features of the IPsec and SLL/TLS Internet security standards. You will then evaluate these two Internet security standards for implementing security in the three different types of VPNs.

Instructions

Write a 3 – 5 page paper in which you:

1. Classify the three different types of Private Networks (VPNs).
   • Distinguish the characteristics of each type in terms of configuration (e.g., host-to-host), transmission technology (e.g., multiplexing), and ease of implementation.
2. Compare the two different Internet security standards of IPsec and SLL/TLS in terms of features they provide for security, strengths, and weaknesses.
3. Evaluate the IPsec and SLL/TLS standards for implementing security in the three different types of VPNs.
   • Your evaluation for each VPN type should include the VPN type, your proposed Internet standard for implementing security in this type of VPN, and the rationale behind your evaluation.
4. Reflect on your learning experience in this assignment, the lessons you learned, and how this experience would apply to your personal or professional life.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Evaluate Internet security standards for implementing secure Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a collection of key security standards. As such, IPsec offers several protection mechanisms and several modes of operation.

• Analyze the IPsec two protection mechanisms of Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) and Authentication Header (AH) in terms of protection, authentication, and confidentiality.
• Differentiate the ESP two operation modes of Transport and Tunnel modes and explain which mode provides more protection and why.

Health IT projects are identified by many factors. The business case and project scope of a project can be used. The business case addresses who or what problem will be addressed, who will receive help from the result, and why the problem needed to be solved. The project scope would tell how long the project will take and what resources are needed for its completion. The report answers any problems that may arise and gives more details on the projects. The project needs to meet the goal and outcome the stakeholders want. The project should follow the scheduled deadlines expected for each phase of the project. Working on the project, it needs to stay on budget. Everything needs to meet the proper requirements and approval to continue and complete the project, so the deliverable is the goal of the stakeholder. Name and manage any risks effectively that could delay the project’s deliverable. The progress of the project to the stakeholder and client needs to be clearly communicated and understood. All the resources are distributed properly within the project whether its financial, technology, and staff.

Health care managers determine the necessities of IT health projects by things such as:

• Analyzing      the goals, research, and assigning specific tasks
• Creating      an agenda of the strategies
• Designating      and captivating shareholders to prevent problems, halt, or misconstrue.
• Risk      tests by guiding accurate peril assessments and creating ways to diminish      peril, like supervisory modifications, clinical doubts, or tech disputes.
• Conducting      patient evaluations to determine essentialness of patient necessities and      goals.
• Quality      check by utilizing tech to oversee achievement, recognize problems, and      make judgements.

Simply by overseeing and managing all aspects of the project listed above can help identify throughout the whole project and determine the success of the project. The project scope and feasibility are to help assure that the task stays on track, avoiding implementations of necessary modifications due to an issue thar could have been avoided by doing the risk assessment. I strongly believe that it’s all about having the right managerial personnel in place and selecting the right collaborators because if you do that it could ensure efficiency and effectiveness. Project scope managerial allows clear standards about the deadline, work, and expense pertaining to the project. It is vital that the manager always be descriptive and set barriers and ensures that the team members are only focused on their set assigned task, incorporating ideas to help solve and potential peril, verifying and approve the work once it’s completed. 

ASSIGNMENT:

As a practice manager, being able to explain the use of a systems analysis for a business system is a key element of your role. Going through this process will assist with performance improvement as you focus on that specific system and detail the needs, milestones, and outcomes of the project.

Preparation

Refer to the information system you selected in Week 1.  You will refer to this system as you proceed through the project management process and the rest of the assignments in the course.

Imagine you are a practice manager for the workplace, organization, or case you selected in Week 1. The new IT manager has asked you to analyze the information system you selected for the rest of the department. She wants to better understand the type of project, the scope and feasibility, and requirements, as well as what will make the project a success or failure.

Assessment Deliverable

Write a 700- to 1,050-word report for your manager in which you analyze the chosen information system project using systems analysis. In your report:

• Explain the      approach you would take to perform a systems analysis for a business or      organization system need.
• Identify the specific system project that would meet the need of your system analysis.
• Describe the requirements of the selected project.
• Explain the scope and feasibility of the selected project.
• Analyze what will make the project a success or failure.
