Running head: YOUR SHORTENED TITLE GOES HERE 1
SHORTENED TITLE GOES HERE (IN CAPS) 2
Plan
What is your plan for evaluation of the strategies using
performance improvement data and tracers? What tracers will
you use? Include necessary detail to deliver key points and
requirements, such as specific data collection methods,
timeframes for evaluation, and intended re-evaluation.
Tracer method is a unique technique used by the healthcare
organizations, to obtain a real time picture of quality
performance from point of entry to discharge. A key part of The
Joint Commission’s on-site survey process is the tracer
methodology (The Joint Commission, 2017).. Some traditional
tracer tools can be used for quality and safety improvement. The
focus of these tools is on ….. and the plan for the evaluation of
this initiative for fall prevention will use tracers in the
following manner….
OR
To evaluate the identified measure is the 30 day

readmission rate for patients, data twill be racked by system
tracers which will be completed monthly by the Assistant
Director of Nursing.
Plan Evaluation
How effective and sustainable is your plan? In other words,
evaluate the effectiveness and the ease of use, timeliness, and
efficiency of your plan for the progress and success of your
initiative.
The plan to prevent falls is effective and sustainable with the
involvement and collaboration of all team members by
implementing the following strategies… The initiative will be
evaluated by the following methods, post implementation…….
OR
Every three months this data will be compiled and analyzed
to determine what actions were effective and ineffective. The
complete study will take place over a one year period with the
desired result of an 15% or below hospital readmission rate.
Use of Tracers
Individual tracers make the most sense to utilize for this
proposal because these tracers are designed to “trace” the care
experiences that a patient had during hospitalization. For
example: in case of fall prevention, these tracers help to track
the patient’s experience regarding safety, satisfaction of
personal needs, hygiene, compliance of staff during care…..
System tracers can be utilized as well, for example….
OR
System tracers provide information by tracking where in an
organizational process breakdowns occur or exist and are a
valuable tool in identifying where changes needs to occur. The
tracers that will be used include a baseline rate of readmissions,
collection of weekly reports of hospital readmissions of those
patients. The readmission data will be collected via generated
daily reports….

Running head: IMPLEMENTATION 1
Implementation 5

Nursing Shortage and the Need for More Nurses
Implementation of Proposed Changes
Implementing a new model within a healthcare facility very
sensitive. The implementation process has to be well structured
to avoid any negative impact to the existing service delivery
process and mechanism already implemented. The change being
implemented must be consistent with existing policies and
services at the healthcare institution, (Allen, 2016). In this case,
implementing a new compensation system at Mary Manning
Walsh must be done while considering the current workforce,
and the impact of the change on the quality of care extended to
patients. The institution must ensure that the change strategy
will fall within its financial capabilities. Implementing the
proposed change strategy would be a viable intervention to curb
the problems associated with the nurse shortage.
Quality Outcomes
The major problem that is noted at Mary Manning Walsh is the
poor quality of care extended to patients. On analyzing the ratio
of caregivers to patients, it is evident that nurses at the
institution are overwhelmed hence the quality of care
deteriorates. Therefore, it becomes necessary to increase the
total number of nurses at the health care facility to make the
ratio of nurses to patients much better. The first thing that the
change strategy is expected to achieve is to reduce the number
of patient readmissions. In recent times, the healthcare facility
has had so many patient readmission cases which are mostly due
to hospital-associated infections (HAI) such as CAUTI, (Marć,
et.al., 2019). Implementation of the proposed compensation and
reward system is expected to lower the patient readmission

cases by 35% within the first four months after implementation.
As more nurses become interested to work at Mary Manning
Walsh, it is expected that the ratio of nurses to patients will be
1:6. Attracting more nurses to the facility will eventually
translate to better care for all patients. It will also reduce the
expenses incurred to handle re-admission cases at the facility.
Communication
The success of a change implementation proposal in any
healthcare facility is largely dependent on the information
relayed to all stakeholders before its implementation.
Furthermore, all persons who would be affected by the proposed
change should be engaged in the process of implementation.
With this in mind, it becomes necessary to analyze and select
the most effective communication channels through which
information would be disseminated. Acceptance of the proposed
compensation and rewards systems will depend on how well the
stakeholders are persuaded, (O'Connor & Wickramasinghe,
2017). Therefore, it would be necessary to schedule several
meetings with all the nurses currently operating at the
institution. The nurse practitioners at Mary Manning Walsh
should individually be informed via mails on the implications of
the proposed changes. Also, it would be appropriate to draft
internal memos addressed to all members of staff to increase
awareness of the changes being implemented at the facility,
(O'Connor & Wickramasinghe, 2017). Nurse supervisors should
be called into official meetings and requested to discuss the
change implementation with all junior nurses at the facility. The
communication should be spearheaded by departmental
managers; human resources, finance, and operations managers.
Data Flow
The existing organizational structure is well designed to
facilitate effective monitoring and supervision of processes
undertaken at Mary Manning Walsh. The executive managers
should be the first to approve the implementation of the change
strategy. Finance officers at the institution should then verify
the viability of the proposal and ensure the institution is well in

range of its financial capabilities. The human resource
department, in charge of hiring and staffing, should then
advertise for the number of positions that need to be filled
within the institution. In doing so, the nurses operating at the
facility should be accorded the priority to apply for a new
position in which they are qualified. This would not only
improve the quality of care given to patients but also save time
that would otherwise be spent on inducting new nurse recruits.
The executive managers should then adopt a culture of
preparing weekly audit reports to establish the progress being
made after the proposed change is implemented, (Lim, et.al.,
2016). By so doing, it would be possible to identify areas that
still need improvement.
Needed Leadership
Healthcare managers play a vital role in policy formulation and
implementation in different healthcare organizations. Their
expertise in the field of healthcare enables them to effectively
facilitate change implementation without disrupting normal
operations or affecting service delivery. Therefore, the
executive managers at Mary Manning Walsh should take up the
responsibility of effective management and control to ensure the
change implementation is a success. Most importantly, the
leaders at the institution should adopt a servant leadership style.
A servant leadership style will motivate the nurses to embrace
change and aspire to deliver better quality of service to patients,
(Allen, 2016). Monitoring and evaluation of the impact of the
implementation can best be done by leaders at the healthcare
facility. Responsible leaders and mangers often conduct
appraisal to ensure strengths and weaknesses are identified to
enhance service delivery.
In conclusion, implementing the proposed change strategy
would be a viable intervention to curb the problems associated
with the nurse shortage. However, all the stakeholders should
cooperate to facilitate smooth implementation. Also, effective
communication is necessary throughout the implementation
process. Leaders at the healthcare institution should motivate

their subordinate staff to perform better and generally improve
the quality of care extended to patients, (Lim, et.al., 2016).

1. Answer to the following discussion question: (Minimum 250
words with 2 APA references)
Describe an instance of plagiarism or other use of another’s
intellectual property with which you are familiar. Please give
one argument condemning this conduct and one argument
defending it.
2. Respond to the following discussion post which was posted
by another student (minimum 100 words) - Atilla Genc
Plagiarism happens where an individual (or individuals)
presents the information, ideas, expression, or the entire work
that is owned by another person as their own (Yadav, Gautam,
& Baxi, 2016). It is categorized as a type of fraud because it is
deceiving others to get their value of work. In this essay, we are
going to discuss an instance of plagiarism, together with the
arguments of the action.
A lot of the authors' international and local have been accused
of plagiarism. A good instance of plagiarism that I am familiar
with is the one which was committed by Jane Goodall on her
book by the title "Seeds of Hope" (The Economic Times, 2018).
It was said that Goodall plagiarized some of the content from

Wikipedia and other websites and articles. One of the authors
whose material was copied posted the plagiarism act of Goodall,
which made her feel very embarrassed. Later, Goodall defended
herself by saying the incident occurred as a result of the poor
skills in taking notes, which was a careless mistake (The
Economic Times, 2018).
From one point of view, the act committed by Goodall was not
acceptable. She should either take the main points and
regenerate into new ideas, or she should have cited the authors
of the work which she plagiarized. She did not do choose to do
this. I think the fraud that she was accused of is a big mistake
and cannot be termed as a careless mistake, as she claims. The
whole affair seems like plain plagiarism, hence a very big
mistake.
From the other point of view, let us assume Goodall was sincere
about her explanation. As hard as it seems to believe that the
amount of work was copied by accident, according to some
psychologists (Taylor, 2005), it can happen. It is called
cryptomnesia, and it occurs when the author thinks the ideas
that he or she read/saw before was their original idea (Taylor,
2005). She took some of the information from the various
sources that she thought were relevant, noted them, and later
thought it was her ideas. In this case, we can argue that the only
thing which happened is the careless mistake, which cannot be
termed as plagiarism.

On September 28, 1999 Amazon was granted a patent for 1-click
technology. Also known as one-click buying, using 1-click
technology customers make an online purchase in a single click
without having to manually input billing and shipping
information every time they purchase a product. 1-click uses a
billing address and credit card or other payment info that is
saved in the user's account.
Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble 1-Click patent lawsuit: There

have been several patent disputes surrounding 1-click
technology, including a patent infringement lawsuit filed
against Barnes & Noble in 1999—only a month after Amazon's
patent was issued. Barnes & Noble offered a checkout option
called "Express Lane," where shoppers can purchase with one
click. The lawsuit was settled in 2002 without disclosing the
terms. Currently, Barnes & Noble.com customers require a
minimum of two clicks of the mouse to make a purchase. The
company modified its single-click system to comply with a
court injunction obtained against it by Amazon.com. Later,
Barnes & Noble.com won a repeal of that injunction pending the
resolution of the court case, but it did not implement the single-
click system. Critics of Amazon patent have always argued that
it gives the company an unfair monopoly on what amounts to
little more than an efficient means of using standard
technology.
The risk, they point out, is that other web sites must make their
shopping systems intentionally less efficient to avoid
infringement, which in effect suffocate e-commerce. Many
observers of the case will be disappointed that the companies
have settled, rather than going to court and obtaining judicial
guidance.
Please do an internet search and find out the results of the Erin
Andrews invasion of privacy case that the Craig discusses in the
assigned text. Write a commentary on your thoughts on the
case. (Minimum 250 words with 2 APA references)
Erin Andrews is a Fox film reporter whose case emerged in
2008 following the spread of her nude video on the internet. She
was working in the ESPN during the incident, and she went
ahead and filed a 75 million dollar suit against Michael Barrett,

an insurance salesperson who was believed to be her stalker as
well as the owner of the Nashville Marriott. According to this
case, Barrett had filmed Erin's nude video using his phone by
removing the peepholes in the door and splashed them on the
internet (CNN Wire Staff, 2011).
This case can be considered an invasion of Erin's privacy in a
hotel in Nashville. Barrett later goes a term in prison for his
crime following the lawsuit that compelled Erin as the victim of
negligence by the Marriott International Hotel. According to the
case, there was a revelation of the room that Erin will be
staying. Marriott International Hotel had revealed the room, and
this allowed Barrett to alter the peephole since he also booked a
room in the next door. Erin claimed that she was emotionally
disturbed since her privacy was invaded. In the court, Barrett
admitted that he was guilty to the federal stalking charges and
this led to his sentence in prison for two and a half years. He
had posted ten videos of Erin to the internet and the authorities,
therefore, believed that most of these videos were made at
Nashville hotel. The Peephole into Erin's room was altered
through the use of a hacksaw, and the images showed an
indication that they had been taken using a cell phone camera.
Erin received $ 55 million in the Hotel Peephole lawsuit
(Benjamin, 2018).

Invasion of privacy case by Erin Andrews describes the buzz
within the hotel industry. Hotels are the place people will
expect a relaxation in the big journey or getting ready for the
things that will going to happen next. People will expect some
kind of relaxation where maximum number of people choose
hotels for getting fresh and for sometimes sleeping after a long
journey from the distance places that they are travelling from.
In that way only Erin Andrews took a stay in the nearby hotel.
Erin Andrews is a sports reporter. While staying in that hotel
she was secretly videotaped by Michael David. He was stayed in

the next door of her room (Ayyagari, 2011).
He committed that crime through the peep hole of her room. She
was secretly videotaped and then that footage was posted
online. It is very ridiculous thing where the hotel management
is negligible towards the privacy of the customers. Federal
Bureau of investigation arrested Barrett for his crime and was
prisoned for two years for the crime he has committed. Erin
Andrews was then legally proceeded over the hotel management
about the incident. She dragged all the hotel partners, hotel
management, Barrett, the person who tapped her video in to the
legal circle. She then files a case against all of them with
privacy invasion (Marks, 2014).
For the damage she got in that, she was awarded with millions
of amounts. In the end the results were highly changed. The
process of hotel was entirely changed where then after the
incident they were very concerned about the privacy of the
customer coming for their privacy and comfort. It is basically
the hotel’s responsibility to take care of the things about the
safety and security of the customers. The hotel failed to give
support on their end in providing security to the customers. It is
their responsibility to protect the privacy of their guests. But
the negligible behavior of the hotel leads to the activities that
will fail the privacy of the customers. There are also some
family persons who were trapped into this and was filmed
without their knowledge (Reyes Rodríguez, 2018).
Please describe an instance of which you are aware in which an
act of internet crime took place.

A very clear incident is the facebook data leak.
The US Federal Trade Commission is reportedly investigating
social media giant Facebook, whose personal data of 50 million

users was accused of being abused by Cambridge Analytica, a
British political consultancy.
The "Cambridge Analysis" company is facing the use of
personal data to influence the US 2016 presidential election and
the UK Brexit referendum survey.
What kind of company is "Cambridge Analysis"? The company's
website boasted that it has supported and conducted more than
100 events on five continents, covering much more than the
United Kingdom and the United States.
"Cambridge Analytical" has suspended the position of CEO
Alexander Nix. On Channel 4 of British TV on Monday (March
19), a video of a secret filming of a Knicks undercover
interview was broadcast on the station. The Knicks exemplified
how the company can influence elections by tricks, such as
smearing candidates or applying traps or temptations.
The UK-based company denied any wrongdoing. "Cambridge
Analysis" has a lot of activity records around the world, let's
take a look at what:
Knicks, CEO of "Cambridge Analysis", was filmed by
undercover reporter on Channel 4 TV
Europe
"Cambridge Analysis" company executives said in a video
program broadcast on Channel 4 TV that "Cambridge Analysis"
and its parent company "Strategic Communications Lab" have
participated in more than 200 elections held around the world,
including Czech Republic.
Company director Mark Turnbull said, "We just used an agency
to operate a very, very successful project in Eastern European
countries, and no one even knows they were there."
The "Cambridge Analysis" website also stated that the company
represented the "Revival Party that was successful in the 1980s"
in the 2012 Italian political campaign.
"In the turbulent Italian political arena, the 'Cambridge
Analysis' company's reform proposals made the party's
performance exceed the original expectations."
But the role of the "strategic communication lab" can be traced

back further. It claimed to have helped Ukraine launch a color
revolution in 2014, bringing pro-Western President Viktor
Yushenchenko to power.
An old article published on the "Strategic Communications Lab"
website said, "The 'Strategic Communications Lab' successfully
maintained the cohesiveness of the alliance and ensured a hard-
won victory."
The "Strategic Communications Laboratory" recently stated that
the Ukrainian government has hired it to provide "localized
publicity campaigns" to help the Ukrainian side regain control
of Donetsk in the eastern conflict.
The company said, "The final project report has been handed
over to the President of Ukraine. This report will play a key
role in future national decision-making."
The "Strategic Communications Laboratory" stated that during
the conflict in eastern Ukraine, it was employed to launch an
"erosion and weaken" Donetsk anti-government organization.
With the dynamic nature of technology in the modern world,
there seems to be a continuous rise in internet crimes. Internet
crime basically refers to any crime in which illegal activity or
crime is committed on the internet. (Chan, Ghose & Seamans,
2016). Internet criminals usually target a specific system in an
organization information system to gain access to sensitive
information or alter the working of that particular system to suit
their ill motives. Internet crimes are conducted by a third party
who is not legally allowed to access information or tamper with
the information system of an organization or an individual.
Organizations and individuals should therefore be aware of
various ways through which their information systems may be
prone to unauthorized access and influence.
Internet crime has been on the rise due to increasing
computer literacy in most parts of the world. Though internet
crime takes many shapes, the most common cases involve

hacking, tracking, malware infection, and spying (Stalans, &
Finn, 2016). In one of my previous place of work, we
experienced a particular incidence of internet crime. The head
of the IT department detected some changes made into a file
containing some of the most sensitive information of our
organization. The department head informed the management
about the case, and investigations on what happened were
launched. After the investigation, it was found that the criminal
was a former IT head who had been fired before. It was due to
the omission of the IT department and the management because
they had forgotten to change passwords and lock employees
account after termination. Had they practiced usual practice of
locking employee accounts and changing systems passwords,
this incidence could have been avoided.
