 Risk management is one of the most important components in empowering an organization to achieve its ultimate vision. With proper risk management culture and knowledge, team members will be “speaking” the same language, and they will leverage common analytical abilities to identify and mitigate potential risks as well as exploit opportunities in a timely fashion. In order to consolidate efforts, the existence of an integrated framework is crucial. This is why an ERM is necessary to the fulfillment of any organization’s goals and objectives.

In your final research project for the course, your task is to write a 7 page paper discussing the following concepts:

• Introduction
• Why should an organization Implement an ERM application?
• What are some key challenges and solutions to Implementing an ERM?
• What is Important for an effective ERM?
• Discuss at least one real organization that has been effective with implementing an ERM framework or /application.
• Conclusion, final thoughts for future research
• Recommendation
• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

 not including the required cover page and reference page 7 pages

1. Download and read attached report: “Metrics for the Second Curve of Health Care”. You need to concentrate your reading on contents related to “Strategy 4: developing Integrated Information Systems”.

Write a report to explain

• what is the Second Curve Health Care? (10 points)
• why Strategy 4 is important in the transition from the First Curve to the Second Curve (40 points)? Your explanation should be written from the informatics perspective focusing on how the three components of Informatics are involved in this strategy.

If you choose to supplement your writing with resources besides the attached document, you need to include their references in APA format.

Save your report as a Word document and name it as SecondCurve_FL where FL are your first and last name initials. Your Word document should be formatted using Times New Roman font (no smaller than 10 pt but no bigger than 11 pt), single spacing, 1″ margins on all sides, and the report length (2 page minimum,

2. Download and read a document on Quality Data Model (QDM). Focus your reading on sections 1.1-1.5, and 2.1 – 2.8.

Tasks: Write a report that contains your answer to the following questions:

1. Why a quality data model is needed? Explain QDM’s importance in healthcare information system using examples you have seen or discussed in this Module’s required readings. (10 points)

2. Figure 1 in section 2.5 shows an example QDM element structure on the left. The diagram to the right is an example of QDM element called “Laboratory Test”. Suppose you are member of an interprofessional team working a quality health database project for a hospital. Explain how you would design a database table to store data containing in the ODM element “Laboratory Test”. For example, what is the name of this table? What are the columns to include in this table? (10 points)

3. Suppose the same database contains other tables describing ODM elements such as Doctor, Patient, Medication, Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Company, etc. Describe ONE scenario where you can use this database to address questions related to QDM element “Laboratory Test”. (40 points)

In order to help you understand this question, please consider the following sample scenario: Doctor A needs to find if any of his/her patients in the age group 35-55 has low HDL so that s/he can recommend them to practice regular aerobic exercise and loss of excess weight to increase the HDL level. Doctor A asks you for help since you are a health informatics analyst. Describe how you would use the database to find the answer. For example, do you need to use the database table representing QDM element “Laboratory Test”? What other tables in this database do you need to use? How will you generate the answer for Doctor A from theses database tables?

Save your report as a Word file and save it as H3_FL2.docx where FL are your first and last name initials.

3. The attached Ethics-III.pdf continues the discussion on what other ethical obligations software engineers are under.

Then proceed to answer the questions inside the reading:

• Questions 5.1 to 5.12

Because for many ethics questions there is no absolutely right or wrong answers as such, your responses will be graded based on completeness and thoughtfulness as opposed to rote or perfunctory ones. There are three grade levels for this assignment based on your responses to all the questions: 20 (no reasoning in responses), 35 (minimal to little reasoning), and 50 (sufficient reasoning and consideration).

Save your file as Movie_FL where FL is your first and last name initial. Submit your file through the dedicated link under the Submissions tab.

Task 1

1. Define BIA (Business Impact Analysis)

2. Define BCP (Business Continuity planning)

3. Explain how BIA fits within BCP 

Goal and Purpose of BIA:  

The Main Goal and purpose of BIA are to analyze mission-critical services and business functions. Moreover, it helps to find and prioritize System resources/ Components by mutual relating them to the Critical processes or Services and identify the impact on those services if the System becomes unavailable.

BIA is used to find out impact to quantitative and qualitative process. organization determine five short and long RTO categories. As per there criticality processes and systems are kept in appropriate categories. BIA determines the time frame to restore each process or system to avoid serious organizational impact. for example, data backup should happen as frequently as possible. Recovery point objective should always be determined before any kind of data lost happens. Data restoration and time needed for it should always be considered as function of recovery time objective. 

Task 2 

1. Why do you believe (or don’t believe) reviewing a risk assessment plan is important.

2. What are risk elements; what process/s is/are used to find these risk elements; what role does a cost-benefit analyzes play in evaluating these risk elements?

3. Explain your understanding of a risk mitigation plan. As you recall, this was already partially discussed in week 10. However, for this week, go into the specifics of the plan, to include a narrative on the best practices used.

4. What role those a business impact analysis play in the overall risk management process? Include a discussion on the steps and critical elements a business impact analysis will provide.

5. Discuss your understanding of the benefits that can be derived from a business impact analysis, to include best practices to follow.
