Discussion Question: Hospital Safety Officer – Due by 10/19/13 by 12 noon

Assignment 1: Discussion Question

 

You are the hospital safety officer. A unit nurse has sent an incident report to you about a patient fall. The patient, an 80-year-old man recovering from pneumonia, fell and broke his hip while getting up to go to the restroom.

 

As the safety officer you know that a broken hip often leads to death in the elderly. Falls are a preventable cause of patient death and can lead to a lawsuit against a hospital. You notify the hospital quality manager that according to your analysis 40 percent of the patient falls in the previous year occurred during the night shift.

 

There are eight adult units and two pediatric units in the hospital. Incidents of patient falls in a pediatric unit are rare. However, patient falls in the adult units are more frequent.

 

There are three eight-hour shifts in 24 hours. Last year, there were 80 falls. It is June, and already this calendar year there have been 44 falls.

 

You are concerned about the potential for a patient death, the potential for a lawsuit, and the hospital accreditation status.

 

Which of the core quality management tools will you use to analyze the problem?

Explain why you would use the tools you chose.

 

Is there other data you want as you work on this problem?

 

Why do you require other data?

mba 7600 marketing mix

This assignment builds on the proposal you submitted eariler (attached). Using the target audience and product or service you identified in your proposal, create a marketing mix for launch. Define your product, price, place, and promotion using the criteria below. Include how you will measure success. write for your intended professional audience.

Marketing Mix Criteria:

Product/Service:
What need does the product or service satisfy for the customer?
What features does it have to meet these needs?
How and where will the customer use it?
What does it look like? Think size, colors, materials, etc.
What will it be called?
How is it differentiated versus your competitors?

Suggestions

•Review Chapters 13 and 14 in the text.
•Be sure you are clear about your target audience so you can be clear about what your product needs to do.
•Remember the personas and consider how that work can help you to be clearer about your target audience and how your product or service meets their desires.
Place

Where will buyers get your product or service?
How can you access the right distribution channels?
Do you need to use a sales force? Or attend trade fairs? Or make online submissions? Or send samples to catalog companies?
How can you differentiate from the competition?

Suggestions

•Review Chapter 17 in the text.

•Remember to be clear about why your chosen distribution method will be acceptable or preferable to your target audience and why.

•Blanket statements like, “Younger people prefer to do their shopping online via their phones” or “People over 45 don’t spend as much time or money online” are not sufficient.

•If that blanket statement is true, you must provide relevant data to support your assertion. Assuming I have a credible reference, “In 2018, people aged 18 – 35 who purchased specialty hair care products, our target audience, spent $2B online and $3B in-store. Therefore, it is important for XYZ Company to have a robust presence both online and in-store.”

•Consider return policies if you have online only distribution. What about if you have both online and brick & mortar distribution

Price
What is the value of the product or service to the buyer?

What pricing strategy will you use?
How will your price compare with your competitors?

Suggestions

•Review Chapter 16 in the text.
•Which strategy makes the most sense for your product or service and why? (use EDLP if possible)
•If your new product or service is free, why is it free?

•If you’re offering a loyalty program for the first time, how do people earn points? How can they spend the points? Why do these criteria appeal to your target audience?
Promotion

Where and when can you get your marketing messages across to your target market?
Will you reach your audience by advertising online, in the press, on TV, on radio, or on billboards? By using direct marketing mailshots? Through PR? On the internet?
When is the best time to promote? Is there seasonality in the market? Are there any wider environmental issues that suggest or dictate the timing of your market launch or subsequent promotions?
How do your competitors do their promotions? And how does that influence your choice of promotional activity?

Suggestions

•Remember that social media is ONE tactic marketers can use to promote their products and services.

•Review Chapters 19, 20, and 21 in the text and consider how best to use those tools, or not, in you communications plan.

•Again, beware of blanket statements without including supporting information.

cs783 enterprise architecture assignment5 1

just 600 words needed

please read the instructions carefully

introduction

Our course covers a number of important IT governance topics in the context of Enterprise Architecture, including security. One of the statements I make during the security lecture is: “Security should be baked into the cake, not bolted on as an afterthought.” My husband, the ex-English teacher and an avowed Luddite BTW, corrected me, stating that I was mixing my metaphors – i.e., I should have said “Security should be baked into the cake, not treated as icing on the cake.” While he is correct (he almost always is!), my phraseology is more harsh, perhaps better denoting the negative downstream consequences of treating cybersecurity as an afterthought. The “bolt on” approach is an excellent example of being reactive instead of proactive: The proactive approach, however, is an essential part of pursuing Enterprise Architecture as Strategy, the title of our course textbook, and of course, a major theme of our course.

Moreover, there is no better illustration of this principle than the internet, right? The internet grew organically from its original mission to enable researchers to collaborate more easily. It is a classic illustration of “enabling technology” – in the 1970’s and 1980’s, no one envisioned internet shopping, let alone Alexa! And security was definitely an afterthought.

One of the toughest challenges with Enterprise Architecture is to craft an architecture that can gracefully scale and adapt to change, while effectively utilizing governance processes and policies to ensure that your design principles are followed over time. For example, consider an architecture you carefully design using the event-driven model (see Software Architecture Patterns by Mark Richards) that disintegrates into spaghetti code after two years of maintenance by your IT staff because they didn’t understand your first principles!

Your Mission

This assignment will give you an opportunity to think about how the principles we have discussed could be leveraged to improve cybersecurity. Either choose Johnson & Johnson or the company that is the subject of your Term Project as the architecture to use in order to design your security approach.

Deliverables

As a general guideline, you should cover at least a single sign-on scenario and a workflow we know well, such as the Order Fulfillment workflow from Assignment 3. You need to be specific about the exact technologies you propose to use for your solutions, e.g., JWTs, oAuth, etc.

  • Legacy applications
  • Greenfield applications using microservices
  • Testing, testing…
  • Policies, IT engagement model

Let’s say your EA has a profusion of legacy applications that have uneven/heterogeneous approaches to handling security. This hodgepodge has led to several data breaches over the past 3 years. Suggest some solutions where the legacy applications can remain in place, but the risk of data breach is greatly reduced. Be specific – use a workflow (or at least a partial workflow) from your Term Project or the Order Fulfillment workflow, and compare/contrast the situation before and after your security improvements are put in place. Your treatment does not have to be exhaustive, but the examples you use should be detailed and specific, not hand-waving.

Let’s say that your business in question 1 has decided to blow up and replace the old legacy applications with a microservices-based architecture. How would you approach a greenfield with microservices and bake security into the cake? Hint: Each microservice, or set of orchestrated microservices, will need to have security incorporated somehow. How could that be done? What would the downstream consequences be of your approach in terms of (1) system performance, (2) amount of code to maintain, and (3) system complexity?

How would you create a testing environment that would give good test coverage over the solution you propose in question 1 (i.e., after your security improvements) and what you have created for question 2? Give examples, explain and justify your recommendations.

There is a trend over the past few years to centralize security oversight in large corporations, leading to a fairly recent C-suite role of the CISO (Chief Information Security Officer, pronounced “see-so”). The CISO role is a separate role from CIO or CTO. Very recently, some large tech corporations, notably Facebook, have decided that the centralized approach isn’t working for them, and they have decided to pursue so-called “embedded” security, where the responsibility for security is pushed down into the development teams, and the CISO has left the company.

  • Describe the trade-off between centralized and embedded security, listing the pros and cons of each approach.
  • Say your company has adopted the embedded approach. As CIO, write a few paragraphs on the security policy you want the teams to follow in order to assure consistency and security in the enterprise architecture. This policy must be specific in terms of exact technologies and approaches to use; examples are greatly appreciated.
