INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:
APRIL HOWARD, CEO; MORGAN EDWARDS CMO
FROM:
MAY SANDERSON, HIM DIRECTOR
SUBJECT:
DEPLOYMENT OF EHR DATE:
JANUARY 23, 2024
CC:
JOSEPH CARDWELL, VP HIM
I am sending out this memo to address an issue with the new EHR system that was recently purchased. There has been some pressure to deploy this new system quickly, however, upon review by the HIM department there were several issues found. As a medical facility, we are required to comply with applicable federal privacy and security standards such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Failure to comply poses legal, ethical and liability risks for the hospital, the patients, and the staff. During the testing period it was found that the EHR system has several flaws that compromise the privacy and security of all patient information. For example, the EHR system does not have encryption on any of the protected health information (PHI). There is no safeguard
against unauthorized access. There is not a program that will track who is accessing any PHI. The network is unstable and will close without warning. The stakeholders involved in these issues involves are: The hospital who is responsible for providing safe and effective care to the patients, complying with the federal privacy and security standards, and maintaining its financial and operational viability. Patients who are
stakeholders have the right to have their PHI protected from unauthorized use and disclosure, and to access and control their own health information. The staff also have the duty to respect and safeguard the PHI of the patients, and to use the EHR system appropriately and ethically. Evaluating the options available there are several we could take.
(a)
Proceed with launching the EHR program as is, despite the issues.
(b) Delay a couple weeks to launch the EHR program until the privacy and security issues are resolved. Working closely with the programmers to ensure compliance with
all laws and regulations.
(c)
Reject the EHR program. Start looking at other companies that can provide a program
that is certified and compliant with security standards and privacy laws. Out of those options I recommend (b). Delaying the launch will be the most beneficial for
the hospital. The first step is to review the contract that we have with the programming company.
There should be a way to ensure their compliance. A clear understanding of the principles and guidelines within the AHIMA code of ethics. Also, the hospital should enlist a multidisciplinary and collaborative team for the EHR system implementation goes with this delay. This issue should involve the HIM professionals, the CIO, the CMS, the staff, the planning, testing, training, and evaluation processes. It is important that the hospital have a robust and ongoing monitoring and auditing system for the EHR system, and ensure the privacy and security of the PHI, the accuracy and completeness of the documentation, and the compliance with the federal privacy and security standards. There needs to be a continuous and proactive improvement approach for the new EHR

The table below lists the time estimates and immediate predecessor(s) for each activity
in a product marketing project that is to be scheduled using CPM. Similar projects for
other products have been accomplished in the past, so the activity times are fairly certain.
(a) Draw the CPM network diagram for the project, labeling all activities and times.
(b) Perform a forward pass and backward pass through the network to determine the
critical path, the expected duration of the project, and the slack time for each activity.

PROCESS 1:Cold liquid continuously flow in a tank where its temperature is maintained at 90° C.Steam passes through the tubing which supplies energy for heating.
Requirements: One feedback solution One feedforward solution
PROCESS 2: The liquid level inside the tank is regulated at a value of 3.0 m on a condition ofcontinuous liquid inflow and outflow.
Requirements: Two feedback solutions One feedforward solution

a. Currently, you serve as a robotic engineer by a company, and your boss want you
to design a robot in spatial space to satisfy the following conditions:
i. Max reachable distance of the robot is 1 meter.
ii.
Only using revolute joints, connecting links and rigid load bearing links
(the length of link is 0.5m).
iii. The degree of freedom (Dof) of the robot is 2.
What is your design, how many joints and links will you use?
b. The payload of your design is 10 kg (each load bearing link can hold 5 kg, 5 kg+5
kg=10kg, the weight and payload of the connecting links will be ignored), but
your boss wants your designed robots to handle 20 kg payload. How will you
update your current design, and how many joints and links will you use in the
new design? What is the Dof of the new designed robot.

A pick and Place machine is being used to transfer a box.
The arm is extended (out) by energizing a solenoid valve; when the valve is de-energizes, the arm retracts (in). In the same way, a second valve closes the grip (when energized) or opens
the grip (when de-energized).
Here's a diagram of this "machine":
Grip Air Cylinder
Grip open
Grip Closed
Box
Arm Air Cylinder
Arm In

The system is really slow... it actually takes 3-4 seconds for the arm to fully extend. An engineer created the below diagram.

Question (finally!).
Which statement is completely true regarding this design?
It uses the Master Clock scheme.
Given this diagram, the arm will probably start to retract before the grip fully closes.
O If the arm takes 4 seconds to retract (return), the box will be dropped "mid-flight"
It uses the Domino Scheme.
Things can't happen in the wrong sequence.

costs are calculated.
Explain the practical meaning of the Work Order System for maintenance planning. Please discuss how
