For this assignment you will select a marginalized group (veterans, minorities, individuals with disabilities, etc.) and write a paper of 1,750 to 2,100 words that can be used as a resource when working with an individual from the selected group.

3. Discussion of career counseling theory to be used with the group (e.g., Minnesota theory of work adjustment). Include evidence supporting the use of this theory in the general population as well as within the group. Please note: If none are available, it is important to indicate that as well.
4. Basic plan for counseling utilizing chosen theory (e.g., interview, use of assessment tools, explanation of theory)
5. Environmental/personal barriers that may prevent the client from finding work (e.g., disability, substance use history, felony, transportation, limited computer access)
6. Local resources available to help the client obtain work (e.g., job center, training programs, support groups)

Staffing Metrics Evaluation

Resource: Strategic Staffing, Ch. 13

Staffing metrics can be short-term or long-term, and efficiency- or effectiveness-oriented. Short-term metrics can be used as leading indicators to gauge a company’s ability to place the right people in the right jobs at the right time. Long-term metrics are best for evaluating the effectiveness of a staffing system because they drive the financial impact of staffing for the organization.

Choose an organization with which you are familiar.

Evaluate in 700 to 1,050 words three metrics that are – or should be – used to determine how well the staffing process meets the needs of the organization.

Describe the metrics selected for discussion.

Assess how these help the organization determine effectiveness.

Use the information available in Strategic Staffing, Ch. 13, and supplement it with your own research.

Cite any sources according to APA formatting guidelines.

The EHR Blues: Fears of Adopting the Threat of An EHR Data Breach

As the Privacy and Security Officer,
one of the biggest fears that the board of directors (BOD) feared which
caused a bit of hesitancy to move forward with the adoption of the
EHR, has become a reality. You were recently notified of a recently
discovered data breach that impacted your employer which represents ten
(10) hospitals along the northeast coast. You are responsible for
creating a breach notification letter. This letter is sent to patients
whose patient health information (PHI) has been compromised in the
breach. According to federal regulations, the breach notification letter
must contain five required elements addressed in a customized manner
according to the situational circumstances and consisting of:

1. A brief description of what happened, including the date of the breach and the date of the discovery of the breach, if known
2. A description of the types of
   unsecured PHI that were involved in the breach (i.e., full name, Social
   Security number, date of birth, home address, account number, diagnosis,
   or disability code)
3. Any steps individuals should take to protect themselves from potential harm resulting from the breach
4. A brief description of what the
   organization is doing to investigate the breach, to mitigate harm to the
   individuals, and to protect against any further breaches
5. Contact procedures for
   individuals to ask questions or learn additional information, which
   shall include a toll-free telephone number, an e-mail address, Website,
   or postal address If appropriate. The organization may include other
   customized information, including:

• Information about steps the organization is taking to prevent future similar breaches
• Information about sanctions the
  organization imposed on workforce members involved in the breach;
  Identity of workforce members should be on a need-to-know basis
  according to organizational policy
• Consumer advice directing the individual to review account statements and monitor credit reports
• Recommendations that the
  individual place a fraud alert on their credit card accounts, or contact
  a credit bureau to obtain credit monitoring services, if appropriate
• Contact information for credit
  reporting agencies, including the information needed for reports for
  criminal investigation and law enforcement
• Contact information for national consumer reporting agencies

Create a letter that incorporates the
five required elements, and also include all six of the subcategories of
information found in item #5. Using the actual breach case of the
Affinity Health Plan in 2013 attached below; research a healthcare data
breach that occurred within the past ten years to better assist you in
understanding the true impact of a healthcare data breach and efforts
taken to respond and prevent future occurrences. You will need to make
up the specifics about your health care organization (email address,
website, phone number, address…) but use the case for specifics about
the breach event. Submit one (1) single presentation at the conclusion of Week Two no later than Sunday, by 11:59 PM EST. This is an individual assignment.
