Topic 1: High Rise Fire, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1991 Part 1

Read the High Rise Fire, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1991 case study on page 138-139.

As a fire protection specialist, what type of fire protection systems and features would you recommend to a developer to minimize a major fire in a high-rise? Explain your answer. (When you read this case study look close at the pressure reducer issue. This was not an over sight or code violation. They were in place to reduce the pressure on the occupant hose lines. So, would having pre planned the building helped firefighters be aware of this situation?)

Topic 2: High Rise Fire, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1991 Part 2

Read the High Rise Fire, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1991 case study on page 138-139 of your text.

What was learned from this fire in terms of the benefit of having an automatic sprinkler system? Explain your answer. (Look at all the resources sent to this fire. What finally put the fire out? Is there any doubt about the value of a sprinkler system?)

Case Study (page 138-139) :

On February 21, 1991, a fire started on the vacant 22nd floor of a 38-story building in Phiadelphia, Pennsylvania, when a pile of linseed oil-soaked rags left by a contractor underwent the process of spontaneous combustion (self-heating). A smoke detector activated at approximately 8:23 L I, but by that time a significant fire had already developed. Upon receiving the initial alarm, the private alarm monitoring company chose to call the building personnel, and the building personnel chose to investigate the alarm. Neither entities contacted the fire department; instead, the first call to the fire department came from a passerby who did not know the exact address of the building.

By the time department units arrived and organized their attack, the fire had burned through the unprotected feeder cables for the wiring of the primary and secondary power, causing the electrical system to fail. The emergency generator then failed, resulting in a total electrical system shut down that left fire fighters operating in complete darkness. When they were finally able to stage on the 22nd floor, crews attempted to advance a 1¾-inch hose line, but due to extreme heat and low water pressure, they made no advance on the fire. Another attack was attempted through a convenience stair between the 21st and 22nd floors—first with a hose line installed for use by untrained building occupants, which provided no water, and then with a 1¾-inch hose line, which produced the same problem found on the 22nd floor: low water pressure. Operating in the dark, unable to mount an interior attack, and with no success improving the water pressure, crews took a defensive position, which permitted vertical and horizontal smoke and fire spread through many penetrations and breeches in the walls and ceiling, the fire-resistant construction, and the ventilation shafts that lacked fire dampers. In addition, the fire broke windows on the 22nd floor, resulting in exterior extension of the fire onto the 23rd and 24th floors and beyond. The fire burned unchecked for a number of additional hours but when it reached the 30th floor, a water supply that was established with fire apparatus pumps through the fire department connection (FDC) was able to feed the sprinkler system, activating ten fire sprinkler heads and extinguishing the fire.

Failure of many significant building systems contributed to the overall disaster of the fire but one of the most significant problems encountered was the lack of adequate water pressure at the fire hose valves. Although failure of the electrical system prevented the building fire pumps from operating, the fire engine pumps should have been able to deliver the necessary pressure through the FDCs. A post-fire investigation determined that the standpipe system pressure-regulating fire hose valves were improperly installed and adjusted, preventing the water pressure and flow needed at the hose valve outlet to support manual firefighting in the building.

Security-and-Privacy-Management-Plan

/in /by

As an information systems manager, you need to consider an important aspect of your operation–patient information, privacy, and security. Review the following case scenarios and select one to use for your management plan for security and privacy.

Case Scenario 1 (Security Breach)

The administration at St. John’s Hospital takes pride in its sound policies and procedures for the protection of confidential client information. In fact, it serves as a model for other institutions in the area; however, printouts discarded in the restricted-access information systems department are not shredded. On numerous occasions, personnel working late have observed the cleaning staff reading discarded printouts. What actions, if any, should these personnel take toward the actions of the cleaning staff? What actions, if any, should be taken by the information systems administration?

Case Scenario 2 (Natural Disaster)

Living on the Gulf Coast is a benefit that many residents of a small Southern town enjoy; however, natural disasters are a concern. The town has just been struck by a hurricane and the entire basement of your operation is flooded by the storm surge. Patient files were destroyed or washed away with the receding water. What actions do you take when patients ask for their health records? What processes did you have in place to protect your records in anticipation of such an event?

Research management plans and choose one of the scenarios above and develop a process for maintaining patient privacy and security.

Create a detailed management plan for patient data privacy and security in the case of a security breach (Case Scenario 1) or a natural disaster (Case Scenario 2).

Based on the management plan format you found through your research, write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper that details your facility’s management plan.

Include the following:

  • Create a business problem statement.
  • Analyze how you will respond to these situations.
  • Evaluate the training you can provide to your staff.
  • Analyze the considerations of HIPAA and patient privacy compliance requirements in planning.
  • Analyze the need for an information technology management plan for natural disasters and security breaches.
  • Evaluate how you will implement your management plan.

Create a 350- to 700-word executive summary in which you review the management plan you designed. Explore possible challenges and the utilization of your plan.

Cite a minimum of 3 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references, other than the textbook, that directly support your analysis.

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

SOCW6351-Discussion-1-Mental-Health-Care

/in /by

Discussion 1:
Mental Health Care

Mental health care is a primary concern to social workers, who are the main providers of care to populations with mental health diagnoses. The system that provides services to individuals with mental health issues is often criticized for being reactive and only responding when individuals are in crisis. Crisis response is not designed to provide on-going care and is frequently very expensive, especially if hospitalization is involved.

Critics suggest a comprehensive plan, which involves preventive services, as well as a continuum of care. However, there are few, if any, effective and efficient program models. Social work expertise and input are vital to implementing effective services. Targeting services to individuals with a diagnosis of mental illness is one strategy. Another approach includes providing an array of services that are also preventative in nature. How might these suggestions address potential policy gaps in caring for individuals such as the family members in the Parker Family case?

For this Discussion, review this week’s resources, including the Parker Family video. Then consider the specific challenges or gaps in caring for individuals with a chronic mental illness might present for the mental health system based on the Parker case. Finally, think about how environmental stressors, such as poverty, can aggravate mental illness and make treatment more challenging.

Post an explanation of the specific challenges or gaps in the mental health care system for the care of individuals with chronic mental illnesses. Base your response on the Parker case. Then, describe how environmental stressors, such as poverty, can aggravate mental illness and make treatment more challenging.

Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references

Discussion 2:
Emerging Issues in Mental Health Care

Like so many areas of practice in social work, mental health is dynamic and ever-evolving. Research continues to provide new information about how the brain functions, the role of genetics in mental health, and evidence to support new possibilities for treatment. Keeping up with these developments might seem impossible. However, being aware of and responsive to these developments and incorporating them into both your practice and social policy is essential to changing the lives of individuals and families who live with a mental health diagnosis and the impact it brings to their daily lives.

For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Search the Walden Library and other reputable online sources for emerging issues in the mental health care arena. Think about the issues that are being addressed by social policy and those that are in need of policy advocacy and why that might be the case. Then, consider what social workers can do to ensure that clients/populations receive necessary mental health services. Also, think about the ethical responsibility related to mental health care social workers must uphold in host settings when they encounter conflicts in administration and home values. Finally, search Maryland state government sites for the mental health commitment standards in state and reflect on the mental health services covered under your state’s Medicaid program. (Maryland is the state I reside in)

Post an explanation of those emerging issues in the mental health care arena that the policymakers address and those that are in need of policy advocacy and why. Then, explain what strategies social workers might use to ensure that clients/populations receive necessary mental health services. Finally, explain the mental health commitment standards and mental health services in your state. In your explanation, refer to the services covered under your state’s Medicaid program.

Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.
