Assignment 09: Cloudy with a Chance of Data

 Task: Submit to complete this assignment

One way of addressing Big Data and its challenges is to store data in “the cloud.” Using “the cloud” means storing and accessing data over the internet instead of on a local computer. Most people assume that this method reduces costs, increases accessibility, and provide better protection for information sharing. However, healthcare professionals have conflicting perspectives on how this type of storage can be used in healthcare.

Imagine that you are a healthcare manager for a hospital that is considering the use of cloud-based storage for patient data. You are responsible for making a recommendation for cloud-based storage. Evaluate the case studies and articles that explore the use of Big Data and Cloud-based storage:

“Big Data Ethics” (Richards & King, Wake Forest Law Review)

“Ethical Issues in the Big Data Industry” (Kirsten E. Martin, MIS Quarterly Executive)

“The Cloud Evolution” (Stephen Katona, PM Network)

“To Cloud or Not to Cloud” (Kumar Malavalli, SiliconIndia)

Then, in a 2-page summary:

.Discuss the concept of big data and managing information from health information systems.

.Discuss potential advantages and disadvantages of using cloud-based storage for big data.

.Describe the security and ethical standards of using internet-based storage and retrieval systems.

.Make a recommendation that your hospital use or not use cloud-based storage; explain your reasoning with supportive references.

Week 6 Discussion Question: Chapter 25, Vision and Hearing

Module 09 Discussion – Mental Healthcare for Adolescence & Children

Scenario

Ryan is a 12 year old diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). As a small child, Ryan was first diagnosed with Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder. He had just started preschool and was unable to remain in one place for more than a minute or two. His parents had already had a very difficult time in disciplining him, because he would become very upset and throw temper tantrums when he could not do as he wished. He just seemed to be an unhappy, irritable child. This behavior continued in school. As time progressed, Ryan was diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, because he continued to refuse to listen to adults and comply with the rules.

By the age of 12, he has begun to bully and annoy others. His parents have decided that the approaches they have used in the past are not working, and they are more afraid his behavior will only get worse.

Initial Post

Provide explanations for these questions and statements:

• Describe the behaviors apparent for each disorder in this scenario (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder).
• If this behavior becomes worse and Ryan starts to violate the rights of others, what medical diagnosis will be given and why?
• Discuss at least two types of medication appropriate to treat Ryan and support your choices with rationale and credible resources
• Describe why therapy for the parent is important in this scenario including at least two supporting rationales.
