Competency

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:

· Design a strategic plan for implementing a new system architecture in an organization

· Determine what information technology policies, laws, regulations, standards, and contracts are applicable in a given situation

Scenario

Intelligent Computer Services (ICS) is a global technology innovator and implementer of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, with specialization in the finance and retail industries. ICS employs more than 150,000 individuals and has offices in 120 countries around the world, with its global headquarters in Dublin, Ireland. Its U.S. headquarters are in Chicago, IL, and other U.S. office locations include New York City; Austin, TX; Minneapolis, MN; and Seattle, WA, to name a few.

To support its global footprint, ICS has built and managed five global data centers in Dublin, Chicago, Albuquerque, Singapore, and Tokyo. These data centers support ICS business objectives, as well as data center colocation space for its clients in the developing world.

Ten years ago, ICS initiated a global assessment of its information technology infrastructure, intending to start migrating its critical business solutions to cloud computing services. Unfortunately, as a result of a global economic recession, ICS had to put the initiative on hold to restructure its business operations to focus on growth and revenue improvements.

Recently, with a 30% ($43 billion) revenue increase from 10 years ago, double-digit profits, and cash on hand of about $7.5 billion, ICS’s board of directors approved an executive proposal to migrate 75% of its critical technology infrastructure services to the cloud in three years.

The proposal aims to leverage native cloud services, software as a service (SaaS) solutions, infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platforms, and security services, as well as being multi-cloud. This cloud migration journey will include large human capital, finance, and talent development initiatives to ensure continuous delivery of first-class client services. As the lead solution architect at ICS, you have been tasked with conducting a detailed assessment of the current system architecture and writing a strategic plan to migrate the organization’s on-premise Oracle PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM) enterprise solution to an SaaS solution. The Cloud Journey team had proposed that ICS migrate to Oracle HCM Cloud or Workday HCM. Based on licensing benefits and other migration considerations, the CIO has approved migration to Oracle HCM Cloud.

Directions

Components of the strategic plan:

1. Client/Server Architecture and Organizational Fit Your plan should  determine the components of your new client-server architecture and how these options for the new system architecture will fit the organization’s strengths, capabilities, and strategic business goals. This section might include:

A. An analysis of the options for new system architecture to fit organizational needs, including how the migration to the newly chosen architecture aligns with the mission, vision, and business strategy of the organization. In other words, how will this choice improve the organization’s competitive advantage and profitability?

B. Using the information systems strategy triangle, found in Chapter 1 of  Managing and Using Information Systems: A Strategic Approach, to highlight the necessary relationship between decisions regarding business strategy, information systems, and organizational design

C. A complete inventory list of the possible components to match the organization’s needs. You could also explain why some components are not necessary.

D. A consideration of best practices within the industry, and an investigation into what competitors are using and how the new system will result in a competitive advantage

E. How the new system will result in a lower total cost of ownership or a higher return on investment

F. How the new system is to be scaled to accommodate the growth of the organization

2. Security Considerations and Needs The plan should consider and  specify the security needs for the system architecture of an organization. This section of the plan might include:

A. A recommendation of additional solutions that might be needed to ensure a stronger protection of the system

B. Information about managing security deployments and streamlining policy updates

3. Business Impact The plan should  determine the impact of the new system architecture on the organizational environment, and anticipate how the organization and its operations might be affected by the migration. This section of the plan might include:

A. Specific steps to analyze the impact of negative events on the business, such as the cost of security hacks

B. Contingency and business continuity considerations for an adverse event

4. Compliance The plan should  determine what information technology policies, laws, regulations, and standards are applicable to the new project. This section of the plan might include:

A. Comparison of common industry IT standards (e.g., NIST) for different industries and determination of which works best within the organization

B. A plan to keep up with software updates and patching existing software when vulnerabilities are detected

5. Data Privacy The plan should include an explanation as to how personally identifiable information (PII) and data breach notification laws impact operations, plans, and policies. This may include determining the implications of where and how data is stored and systems are housed and maintained.

What to Submit

To complete this project, you must submit the following:

Strategic Plan You will develop a strategic plan for implementing the new system architecture and migration project at ICS. Your strategic plan should be 4 to 5 pages, double spaced, and submitted in a file format that your instructor can easily access (.PDF, .doc).

Week 1 For EBP

Healthcare organizations continually seek to optimize healthcare performance. For years, this approach was a three-pronged one known as the Triple Aim, with efforts focused on improved population health, enhanced patient experience, and lower healthcare costs.

More recently, this approach has evolved to a Quadruple Aim by including a focus on improving the work life of healthcare providers. Each of these measures are impacted by decisions made at the organizational level, and organizations have increasingly turned to EBP to inform and justify these decisions.

To Prepare:

· Read the articles by Sikka, Morath, & Leape (2015); Crabtree, Brennan, Davis, & Coyle (2016); and Kim et al. (2016) provided in the Resources.

· Reflect on how EBP might impact (or not impact) the Quadruple Aim in healthcare.

· Consider the impact that EBP may have on factors impacting these quadruple aim elements, such as preventable medical errors or healthcare delivery.

To Complete:

Write a brief analysis (no longer than 2 pages) of the connection between EBP and the Quadruple Aim.

Your analysis should address how EBP might (or might not) help reach the Quadruple Aim, including each of the four measures of:

· Patient experience

· Population health

· Costs

· Work life of healthcare providers

Principles Of Communication

Introduction

Communication is vital in any level of society including both casual and professional situations. Efficiency and success in any professional field require effective communication. It is for this reason that professionalism and communication must go hand in hand.

Professionalism

My understanding of the term ‘professionalism’ is the conduct that is expected of every professional or rather every skilled person in their given area of specialization. Such conduct entails such mannerisms as etiquette, strict code of ethics, a demeanor that exudes confidence, effective communication, among several others. For instance, as a student, a certain code of conduct is expected of me in such areas as class attendance and academic integrity, which entails my professionalism.

Professional Communication

Communication is an integral part of professionalism. My understanding is that a certain type of communication is expected in a given workplace for smooth operations. This is referred to as professional communication. It entails a wide range of communication means such as oral, digital, visual or even written. It also entails certain characteristics such as clarity and accuracy. A great example is an internal memo that is circulated through the school from the dean to the students informing them of an upcoming event. Reports are also important and are submitted after research is conducted in a certain field, and they could either be oral or written reports. Another important type of professional communication is letter writing which requires good diction and high clarity.

            Learning about communication has been a very eye-opening and informative experience. Although I communicate on a daily basis, there are many aspects of communication that I was not very well versed with. Such include significant listening skills, careers in communication, and professional communication. I would single out these as the most useful in my case, although it is important to state that generally, all the aspects I learned were equally important to me. I have come to the realization that I do not always accord my friends the best listening skills. There are many times when I interrupt them mid-speech and on other occasions listen to them absent-mindedly. I was also intrigued by the career paths that communication can lead one towards. One that particularly intrigued me was becoming a public relations specialist. Finally, I believe that the skills and knowledge gained from professional communication will guide me smoothly throughout my career ensuring my success.

            There is no doubt that I have gained a great deal of personal growth from this class. I recall learning at the beginning of the class that communication stretches through all fields of life and that it is the most essential aspect for the wellbeing and thriving of society. All the knowledge I have gained is a confirmation of this fact and it has culminated in me being a better person. Personally, the areas that I felt the most personal growth, was in listening skills. Giving people an ear and putting effort to understand the point that they are putting across is very important. I believe this will go a long way in improving my relations with other people.

            Among the skills that I have acquired in this class include how to express myself clearly through both verbal and non-verbal means, listening skills, professional communication, as well as choosing appropriate means of communication in different settings. Therefore, I can now accurately incorporate gestures and facial expressions while having casual conversations with my friends and fellow students. Understanding what I am being told is also much easier now due to the essential listening skills I gained. In professional contexts, I can communicate effectively whether it is in letters, memos, emails, or even reports.

 

Conclusion

It is clear that life would be much better with better communication. All the chaos that arises from simple misunderstandings would be a thing of the past. We would also attain greater world peace. I now have the necessary communication skills and knowledge that will continually make my life better b­­­­­­­oth at a personal and professional level.

Quality assessment is being adapted as a method for buyers, patients, and providers to evaluate health care expenditure. To this end, necessary advancements have been made towards the science of quality assessment over the past years. However, several challenges continue to be addressed so that quality assessment can achieve its ability as a counterforce to the demands of cost containment. Some of the challenges encountered during quality assessment include; Identifying and balancing the competing perspectives of main participant in the health care system, developing an accountability framework, establishing the best criteria by which the performance of the healthcare will be judged, selecting routine reporting indicators, conflicts between financial and non-financial incentives and quality care objectives, and developing information systems needed for quality monitoring.

Several methods have been used to measure health care quality. These include; assessing the appropriateness of an intervention which indicates the effectiveness of the intervention, examining the level at which care given parallels health guidelines and standards, practice profiling which compares patterns of cost, utilization and quality processes among providers in accordance with pre-established standards, and Process assessment in which interpersonal health care quality can be evaluated by consumer ratings which consists of both received care and its satisfaction (MClellan,2013).

Baldrige Excellence Framework for Health Care helps organizations in assessing their management performance. This framework acknowledges goals such as customer satisfaction and employees involvement. Through customer satisfaction quality can be achieved without increasing cost. This is possible in the following ways; reducing quality issues that arise due to consumer dissatisfaction, reducing cost without compromising service quality and rising customer expectations by providing services they view as of high value (Nolan & Bisognano 2006

liberalism

Classical liberals sought for economic liberty (66). This led to opposing of mercantilism and monopoly which only benefited an advantaged few (67). This paved way for capitalism in the eighteenth century. This view was greatly promoted by Adam Smith (1723-1790), who argued that individuals should be left to compete freely in the market.

In the nineteenth century, the British Empire was experiencing immense benefits from the industrial revolution and acquiring of colonies in India, Canada, Australia, and later on Africa (69). The result was immense industrialization that benefited the middle class while leaving the working class exploited through poor working conditions such as long working hours and poor pay (70). A group of liberals, known as utilitarians, noticed this plight and sought to rectify it. Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832), regarded as their leader, established that people should seek utility since utility promotes happiness (71). As such, he urged every individual to take the action that promotes the happiness of the greatest number of people (71). This is also referred to as the principle of utility. Bentham also entertained the idea that the government should intervene to promote the happiness of the majority. However, for such to be practical, such a government would need to be elected by the majority (72).

            John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), also a utilitarian, aimed at extending individual liberties. He achieved this through advocating for women rights. Mill was also concerned about the minority who did not conform to social standards. To improve the liberties of such groups, Mill formulated the Harm principle which stated that the only reason the government or society should interfere with a person’s activities is only when such actions are harming or threatening to harm others.
