Learning Activities #1
You have recently begun working as a medical billing processor for Healthy Horizons Medical Group. You have been out of work for some time, and got the job through your childhood friend Michael Reeves who has been doing this same job for years. The duties of the job allow you to work at home most of the week, and the company has provided you with a laptop for doing the work at home. As your duties regularly involve access to patients’ medical history and finances, the company has a number of restrictions on the laptop usage. For example, the laptop is for work only, with no personal use allowed. When not in use, it is to be kept locked in the company supplied file cabinet. In addition, the laptop is protected by a 2-password system; the first to gain access to the laptop’s general functions and the second to access the company’s online network. The 2 passwords are supposed to be different, and you are not to share it with anyone else.
Michael recently informed you that he uses the same password for both functions; regularly performs personal tasks on the laptop to include online stock trades; has allowed his children to use the laptop for personal tasks as well. Recently, his laptop was infected by an adware virus which caused multiple pop-up ads. 

As he feared it may jeopardize his job if he brought the laptop to his company’s IT department for repair, he allowed his neighbor Ben Richards who is a computer software designer to fix the problem. He had to give Ben both of his passwords for him to complete this work, but Ben promised not to look at any of the personal information on the computer and not to share the passwords with anyone else.
Do you inform Healthy Horizons Medical Group of Michael’s actions? What do you think the consequences will be to Michael if and when the company finds out?
Learning Activities #2
Lucas Spencer was recently fired from his job at the Brady Rent-A-Car lot, and wants to sue his former employer for unlawful termination and violation of the whistleblower protection laws. Lucas reports that the owner of Brady-Rent-A-Car, Shawn Brady, is also the owner of his apartment building, which is in violation of multiple housing code requirements. After several months of Shawn Brady ignoring his repair requests, Lucas reported him to the Housing Code Authority, which resulted in Shawn Brady having to pay a substantial fine, as well as the costs incurred for making the necessary repairs. Shawn Brady subsequently fired Lucas Spencer as a result, and admits the fact. However, he maintains that Lucas Spencer is an employee-at-will, and can be fired for any reason. He also maintains that his action is not in violation of whistleblower protection laws as his complaint to the Housing Code Authority had nothing to do with his employment.
Who do you think wins here and why? For the purpose of this exercise, we will not be discussing whether there is any cause of action under Landlord-Tenant Law.

Description

The week gets off to an interesting start as patient Mark Bayne reports to the clinic. Mr. Bayne is a contact lens wearer who comes in with a red eye. His right eye had been bothering him for a week, and it was slowly getting worse. When examined, the right eye exhibited perilimbal injection of the bulbar conjunctiva and a corneal defect. The corneal defect was a dense anterior stromal corneal infiltrate with diffuse borders overlying a subtle focal area of corneal thinning 2mm eccentric to the visual axis. 

Using the electronic health record to lookup Mr. Bayne’s previous eye notes, you determined that his right eye was clear at his last examination two months ago. Your electronic health record’s Info button application suggested several relevant topic information links in response to the information you input into the medical encounter. Selecting the info button corresponding to fungal keratitis (one of your first rule outs), you are reminded that using a simple KOH +CFW smear preparation for the light microscope as well as culturing in Sabouraud 2% glucose-agar (without cycloheximide) would yield the best chance of detecting fungal keratitis. Armed with this information you take the correct corneal specimens before treating the patient, as medication might contaminate your results. As you write the patient’s orders in your EHR, a reminder pops up indicating that this patient is due for a periodic visual field examination in one month to monitor for glaucoma. You mention this to Mr. Bayneand before leaving he sets up that appointment hopeful that the current malady will have resolved by then. Having taken your specimen and recorded your results you send the patient off to the corneal specialist confident that your notes will be available to her. The next day Mr.Bayne is seen by the corneal specialist, and the results from the laboratory of your initial scraping indicate that with light microscopy hyphae were detected. Although the results of this testing were sent to you, they are available to the corneal specialist using a compatible medical record and the regional health information exchange (RHIO). As a result, the specialist can move forward with the most up to date information for the patient improving patient care.
Your lab order for Mr. Bayne and EHR notes are available through the RHIO to those entities with permission to view them. Governmental public health agencies monitor lab testing and other early indicators of a disease outbreak. Public health surveillance picked up on your lab order. 

Tuned to detect increases in particular lab tests the software noted there had been an increase in your state of the use of corneal cultures utilizing fungal specific Sabouraud’s medium this past week, (normal incidence of 3 to 4 per week up to 10 this week). This increase in the number ofthese cultures alerts public health officials to the possible increase in fungal infections of thecornea. When the state agency matches the lab orders with the patients’ address information obtained from their providers’ EHR they can feed this information into a Geographic Information System which pinpoints the location of the patients on a map such as seen in figure2. In this case, the map makes it obvious that the problem is isolated to the area surrounding Yonkers, New York. An alert is then sent out to eye doctors, primary care doctors and laboratory personnel in this area informing them of the situation and asking for them to report episodes of suspected fungal keratitis. As a result of this request, an outbreak is detected and its source is located resulting in the recall of an isolated lot number of a particular contact lens solution. Discussion question: 1- Health information exchange is necessary to allow data to flow beyond the bounds of the provider’s office; From above case select a public health problem that requires data/information to be transfer from health information systems to the public health system and describe how this can impact public health? 2- From the above case select an information system that is serving public health and describe the advantage and disadvantage of using this system in public health? 3- Explain the importance of standards in public health informatics?

A useful resource related to this discussion: Overview of the Nursing Process [PDF File Size 331 KB].
A 23-year-old ballet dancer arrived at the Emergency Department after collapsing during a week of strenuous rehearsals for an upcoming production. The patient reported that she had been in good health and takes no medication except the occasional loratadine (Claritin) for her seasonal allergies. Further questioning revealed that the patient “lives on” diet colas to keep her weight down for dancing; she said she does not like the “taste” of water. Assessment in the Emergency Department revealed the patient to have a pulse of 140, blood pressure of 78/62 and poor skin turgor. She required aggressive intravenous fluid resuscitation.

In addition to answer the following questions that address the practical and healthcare implications based on the research:
What are critical common components to all religions/beliefs in regards to healing, such as prayer, meditation, belief, etc.? Explain.
What is important to patients of the faiths when cared for by health care providers whose spiritual beliefs differ from their own?
In your conclusion, describe your own spiritual perspective on healing, what you have learned from the research and how this learning can be applied to a health care provider.
Support your position by referencing at least three academic resources (preferably from the GCU Library) in addition to the course readings, the Bible, and the textbooks for each religion. Each religion must have a primary source included. A total of six references are required according to the specifications listed above.
