DISCUSSION: Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: What are privacy and security audits in a health care organization? Why are audits important in maintaining the privacy and security of health care information networks? What are the potential conflicts of not having an audit schedule? Support your response with examples.
REPLIES:100 WORDS MINIMUM -Dajauna Hood: Healthcare compliance audits play a vital role in upholding legal and regulatory standards within the industry. By conducting these privacy and security audit, organizations can assess their adherence to laws such as HIPPA (health insurance portability and accountability act) and OSHA (occupational safety and health act). A security audit works by testing whether your organization’s information system are adhering to a set of internal or external criteria. For example an auditor may check to see if the company retains controls over electronic devices. A privacy audits are procedures to ensure that the companies goals and promises of privacy and confidentiality are supported and ran correctly and smoothly throughout the practice. Audits are important because you see if the patient and employees are being provided with standards and letting the organization know how well they are doing and what areas need to be worked on. By not having annual audits it can cause confusion on what is need for change and what are the strong points; also by not having them on a schedule it make room for hackers and other things we try to avoid such as: the patients information being leaked and anything that put not only the client but the company at risk
Marquita Taylor: Privacy and Security Audits in a health care organization include Security Assessments, which is a resource to ensure that organizations are following guidelines and that HIPPA Laws and Federal Regulations Audits are also in charge of ensuring that Electronic Patient Health Information is and stays Protected. Audits are important because they help identify the risk and take the appropriate measures to defend and execute the threat if needed , Audits also ensure that there is compliance. If there is not audit schedule in place there can be Security Gaps, which can cause patient information as well organization’s to be a risk for data breaches. Which can lead to organizational Non-Compliance which can lead to Inefficiencies. Audits and schedules are put in place to help safeguard sensitive patient information as well as promote confidentiality which i believe is very important when it come to patient information as well as the organization. Patient Information should always be protected and secure system with guidelines put into place ensure that which i believe is great aspect for a health care organization.
ASSIGNMENT: WK3: Presentation Content
Top of Form
There are many benefits of networks in health care organizations. Employees can arrange meetings, share files, and perform their job duties on the network. It is important to understand the fundamentals of networks so that when issues arise, network technicians can quickly troubleshoot and fix them.
Imagine you are a network technician working for a health care organization. This can be an organization you work with, have read about in your research, or that you want to work with.
You have been tasked with creating a presentation for your department that describes the fundamentals of the network and the network model. This presentation should include detailed information, as it will serve as documentation to assist other network technicians in troubleshooting issues with the network.
Prepare a 10- to 12-slide presentation that focuses on the architecture of the network. This presentation must include a diagram of the network model.
Your presentation should cover the following:
o Presentation Introduction
o (1 slide) Title and Introduction
o Overview of the Network Model
o (2 slides) An illustrative diagram of the organization’s network
o Section 1: Benefits of the Network
o (2 slides) Highlight the benefits of the network for the health care organization. Describe how the organization utilizes the network.
o Section 2: Network Hardware
o (3 slides) Describe the functions of each of the hardware components associated with the network. Include details about the importance of the hardware components and their relation to the other components of the network.
o Section 3: Troubleshooting and Support
o (2–4 slides) List steps that network technicians should use when networks are not functioning correctly.
o References
o (1 slide) Reference slide

 
Some of the trends in healthcare are clearly seen and have been discussed already. For example, consolidation of the different systems, which was explored in the vertical and horizontal integration is a trend. What cannot be clearly seen is the end game with these trends. Is it possible that integration and growth of already extensive organizations could result in standards for the industry that act as an authority similar to the federal government? Most presidents have shown little interest in control of the healthcare system. They have understood the deeply rooted belief in free markets and distrust of the government by many. With the exception of true socialists such as Bernie Sanders, presidential efforts toward health reform and Universal Health Insurance have placed the bulk of the responsibility on the separate businesses (insurance, pharma, hospitals, etc.), with little expansion of legislative authority other than establishment of standards. We have seen this thoroughly explored in the readings in this course. Hopefully, this class has made you wary of blanket statements by others that are not based in fact.
In addition, the U.S. Constitution directs that the country is both a democracy (we, the people hold power via representation [the power of the vote]) and a republic because those representatives exercise political power, Additionally, the U.S. is federalist in that power is shared between the government and the states. And one more thing, the government itself is divided into three separate, distinct powers (legislative, judicial, executive) (Is The United States A Democracy Or A Republic?). 
Provide a review of healthcare trends.
Include the following aspects in the assignment:
Write an introductory paragraph into the template (download it, save it, and name it so you can find it).
The introductory paragraph should contain a summary of the healthcare trends (use text and article).
1st level two heading: Collaborative Ecosystem (use bolded words here as the heading) (which sub-trends do you see happening and why)
2nd level two heading: Patient and Workforce Engagement (use bolded as the heading) (which sub-trends do you see happening and why)
3rd level two heading: Digital Acceleration (which sub-trends do you see happening and why).
4th level two heading: Business Growth (which sub-trends do you see happening and why).
Write a brief Conclusion paragraph (summarize the paper)

The 802.3 and 803.11 standards are Local Area Network (LAN) standards. They share some common features, but they also differ considerably in other aspects.
Analyze these two standards for similarities and differences in their standard functions, transmission medium, and operations. Feel free to use tables and diagrams to present your analysis.
Please post response in 200-250 words.
