Assignment 1: Big Data Risks and Rewards When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee. From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth. As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards. To Prepare: Review the Resources and reflect on the web article Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse Execs.Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or observed. Write a description of at least one potential benefit of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Then, describe at least one potential challenge or risk of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Propose at least one strategy you have experienced, observed, or researched that may effectively mitigate the challenges or risks of using big data you described. Be specific and provide examples. Assignment 2: The Impact of Standardized Nursing Terminology Among the Resources in this module is the Rutherford (2008) article Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice? In this article, the author recounts a visit to a local hospital to view the recent implementation of a new coding system. During the visit, one of the nurses commented to her, “We document our care using standardized nursing languages but we don’t fully understand why we do” (Rutherford, 2008, para. 1). How would you respond to a comment such as this one? To Prepare: Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources, particularly Rutherford, M. (2008) Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice?Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed. In a 4- to 5-page paper, address the following: Explain how you would inform this nurse (and others) of the importance of standardized nursing terminologies.Describe the benefits and challenges of implementing standardized nursing terminologies in nursing practice. Be specific and provide examples.Be sure to support your paper with peer-reviewed research on standardized nursing terminologies that you consulted from the Walden Library.

Rasmussen College Module 2 Proposal and Maintenance Plan Assignment
Part IInitech has asked you for a proposal for the hardware and software you would recommend for their business, as well as a maintenance plan that you will be recommending for their SOHO. In Microsoft Word create 3-5 pages and provide the following:Business needsWhat hardware will Initech need? Why?What software (OS, applications) will Initech need? Why?Will specific facilities be needed, such as server closets, HVAC accommodations, fire suppression, etc.? What type of data will be stored, and how? Are there different levels of data sensitivity? If so, how will you differentiate between storing these levels?Hardware specificationsWhat type of PCs will you use? Why?How will you configure the PCs chosen? Why?What type of mobile devices will be used? Why?How will you configure the mobile devices--with one setting for everyone, or can the devices be customized? Why?Software (OS, applications, antimalware) specificationsWhat software will be installed on the PCs? Why?What software will you install on the mobile devices? Why?Maintenance planWhat type of maintenance plan will you recommend?How often should they upgrade the hardware? Why?How often should they upgrade the software? Why?Part IIFor the second part of this project, using Microsoft Word in 1 -2 pages address the following:What ethical issues could arise as you gather the requirements for your proposal? How would you address those issues?While gathering information from Initech employees in regards to what Initech will need for their SOHO, you encounter a disgruntled Initech employee that is upset you were brought in for this project. As a professional, how would you handle this employee?Use vocabulary and tone appropriate for your target audience--your client, Initech.

Final Research ProposalAssignment DetailsOpen DateApr 1, 2019 12:05 AMGraded?YesPoints Possible100.0Resubmissions Allowed?NoAttachments checked for originality?YesAssignment InstructionsSubmit your final research proposal. Note: You will not actually carry out your research project (i.e. operationalize your research design) in this class. You are writing a proposal for this assignment (which is often used to obtain funding such as a grant to complete the research). Your proposal should have the following sections:Title Page: Your title page should include the working title of your research project proposal, your name, date, and course title. Abstract: Include an abstract for your proposal.Introduction: The introduction is where you identify your specific research question and where you set the general context for the study. In this section you need to include:a statement of the problem or general research question and context leading to a clear statement of the specific research question;background and contextual material justifying why this case or topic should be studied; anda purpose statement.Literature Review: This short preliminary literature review section reviews the literature important to your specific research question. The literature review focuses on discussing how other researchers have addressed the same or similar research questions. It introduces the study and places it in larger context that includes a discussion of why it is important to study this case. It provides the current state of accumulated knowledge as it relates to your specific research question. In this section you should:Summarize the general state of the literature (cumulative knowledge base) on the specific research question. For example, if you discuss other studies that have been conducted you would summarize the researcher’s findings, how those findings were obtained, and conduct an evaluation of biases in the findings.This section should provide a broad overview of the primary arguments related to the topic and organizes the general views on the main aspects of the topic by theme, which could be the prevailing arguments or schools of thought, or commonly held beliefs that your particular topic may challenge.Include a short conclusion and transition to the next section.In your literature review you should also discuss the theoretical framework to be used in the study. You should ensure you cover the following in your discussion: a summary of the theory or model to be used in the study, including a diagram of the model if appropriate;comment on the kinds of questions this theory has been used to answer in the past and why it is appropriate to use in this proposed studyTo really drive this home, you want to end your literature review with a discussion of the current knowledge gaps. This is an opportunity to once again promote the importance of your own research. How will your research fit within this larger body of knowledge? What are you doing differently? What gaps will your research fill?For some additional information on how to organize your theoretical framework into your paper, check out this USC Library guide on Theoretical Frameworks.From here you would then include a transition into your methodology section. USE HEADINGS!NOTE: Literature reviews can be a bit tricky to write. Think back to how you wrote your short theory lit review in week 4. Chances are you already started to write in a style similar to what one does when completing a literature review. Check out this video to help you further prepare to write this section of your proposal. This will not be the last time that you are asked to write a literature review in your academic career, so it is important to master this skill.Research Design and Methods: Describes how you will answer your research question or test the hypothesis. This section describes your overall research design and how you plan to collect, synthesize, and interpret your data. It should include:identification and operationalization (measurement) of variables;a sampling plan (i.e., study population and sampling procedures, if appropriate);justification of case studies used;data collection/sources (secondary literature, archives, interviews, surveys, etc.);a summary of analysis procedures (pattern-matching, etc.); andthe limitations of study and bias discussion.Conclusion: Reemphasizes the importance of your study and ties the proposal together.Reference List: As with all academic papers you need to reference the works that you have cited (direct quotes or paraphrases) in the text of your document and incorporate a complete reference list at the end. This list needs to be in APA.Remember that the references you use demonstrate your knowledge of the topic area. This research proposal is meant to convince your professor that you not only have identified a worthy question in need of investigation, but that you are also capable of carrying out the research involved to successfully answer that question. At the very least you should have referenced 12-15 peer-reviewed sources in this proposal.TECHNICAL GUIDANCE:Your submission should be at a minimum of 8-10 pages (the Title Page, Abstract, and Reference page will be additional pages).Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space.Students will follow the APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework. Include only peer reviewed or scholarly articles.Your submission is be in your own words with minimal quotes and cited appropriately. This assignment will be graded using the attached rubric.
