Improving Regional Administration Project I Participated On The Atip Working Group ( 2014-2015 )

1.3 – All members of staff have different responsibilities and levels of authority when processing customer information. Because dealing with data relative to recruitment, compensation and management is highly sensitive. Therefore only employees with given clearance can access and update certain data to ensure they maintain a professional attitude as if there was not any levels of authority then the information could be prone to being misused to commit fraud and other violations.

Confidentiality is critical when managing information because not all information is suitable for all employees/customers. For example personnel files for employees should

Participated in Agency Administrator briefings and received Delegation of Authority. Developed comprehensive communication plans outlining objectives, strategies, and planned actions for both immediate and long term goals based on Delegation of Authority.

One of those being that information does not breach security protocols (e.g. not sending out a document you’ve produced without it first being approved by your manager). Another being storing of business documents for example filing cabinets we use being locked; only certain staff have a key to open this cabinet. Also, protecting documents, for example password protection… certain documents that contain peoples personal information or confidential data have passwords on them so you must know this password to open the document. Finally, read-only access (e.g. if a document is in use at the time, no one else can open it and edit it, they can only open a read-only

The work-group engages in debate and collaborates on strategic issues. The group must meet once every two months, at a minimum. Also, the Health Information and HIT Strategic Planning team should continue to engage in biweekly meetings with the sponsor. Operationalize the plan. Implementing the plan may entail the following: Developing health information and health IT principles, goals, and objectives, Developing plan of action, milestones, and/or performance measures, driving strategic requirements and business architecture efforts, assisting in budgeting, health IT portfolio management, resource alignment, and human capital planning efforts, evaluating progress on a bi-annual basis (Tan).

As part of the Strengthening Regional Administration Project I participated on the ATIP working group. Over a number of months the team met to determine the expected outcome and come up with a plan to gather information, analyze the information, identify areas for improvement and come up with recommendation for changes and possible solutions (we used a SIPOC diagram as a tool to evaluate this). As a member of the team I participated in evaluating the current

In this report, I will be discussing the different types of information and how they are used within an organization.

The purpose of this paper is to review State of Maryland information security program documentation and to determine the security standards used to create the program in order to protect confidentiality, integrity and availability of agency operations, organizational assets or individuals which is the main agenda of State of Maryland Department of information technology. We will also discuss about other standards that can be useful for the State of Maryland Information technology and compare and contrast the standards.

As part of the Strengthening Regional Administration Project I participated in the ATIP working group (2014-2015). Over a number of months the team met to determine the expected outcome and come up with a plan to gather information, analyze the information, identify areas for improvement and come up with recommendations for changes and possible solutions (we used a SIPOC diagram as a tool to evaluate this). As a member of the team I participated in evaluating the current process, determining the questions for the interviews of the key participants at the administration support level, scheduling the interviews and recording the gathered information. As a team, we analyzed and discussed the findings to identify the key areas for improvement and to clearly define the roles and responsibilities of key participants at each stage of the process. Based on our team’s findings, the Region’s best practices, the requirements of the process and the expected outcome for a consistent and complete, we

Plagued by “slow turnaround times, shoddy work, and unresponsive service” (p. 1), city manager Frank Palos took action by conducting an internal performance audit on the P&Z department. As predicted the audit revealed several problems and issued several recommendations for improvement. The recommendations included “streamlining planning and zoning procedures, establishing a performance standard for timeliness of plan reviews, and simplifying the zoning code” (p. 1). Thus, the department implemented the following reforms: increased staff autonomy, formation of a Citizen Advisory Board (CAB), and creation of performance indicators. Success soon followed as the reforms reduced processing times by 60%. Unfortunately, the department still had problems, budget deficits (p.2). The problems resulted from the fee collection of some permitting processes. While some less complex projects resulted in profits, other complicated projects incurred extra costs and resulted in budget shortfalls. In other words, the fee collected did not cover the department costs for carrying out the permitting process. In order to address this problem, Finance Director Frank Toto suggested moving to a new accounting scheme called activity-based costing. Although, this proposal solves many of the issues and has received support, there has also been stark opposition. Several P&Z staff and other city employees worry about operational changes and even possible power shifts within

In this section of my assignment I will be introducing the ICT skills required within a health and social care setting. I will state what each of the skills are, the benefits for carrying them out and the disadvantages of them if they are not carried out properly.
