Scenario:
You have been planning on opening your own  child care program and have decided that you would like to open a  small, center-based program. While looking for locations, you come  across an available space that is conveniently located and perfectly  situated to house a child care program. The space is 30 feet by 50 feet  or 1,500 square feet total (indoor space). Right now, the space is a  completely open floor plan and you have the resources to build walls as  needed. Your first step in licensing is to look at licensing  requirements, but you know that your licensing specialist will want to  know how many classrooms you want to open, how many children can be  served in each classroom, and how many teachers you need to maintain  appropriate student-teacher ratios. 

Focus Assignment: 

With the purpose of ensuring your plan will meet licensing  requirements, write a 1-page (business formatted) letter to your  licensing specialist. Be sure to describe the floor plan of your center  including the total available space and the number and size of each  toddler and/or preschool classroom you are planning on opening and how  many children can be in each classroom. Also, include the  student-teacher ratios you plan on meeting, and how many teachers will  be in each classroom. Don’t forget to consider the space needed for the  kitchen, office, bathrooms, storage, etc. because this will take away  from usable classroom space. 

Self-Reflection: 50 points

1. For your floor plan, explain how this floor plan addresses the issues in the scenario 

You are responsible for auditing patient records to ensure that documentation justifies medical necessity of those procedures, services, or supplies that have been reported and coded on insurance claims.  For each record, you locate patient diagnoses and verify the ICD-10-CM codes reported on claims. You also review documentation in the patient record to ensure that each diagnosis justifies the medical necessity of diagnostic or therapeutic procedures performed and services or supplies provided to patients.

The worksheet that you use to audit patient records includes the following items, which must be documented by the provider:

• Patient history, including review of systems
• Physical examination, including impression
• Diagnostic test results, including analysis of findings
• Diagnoses, including duration and comorbidities that impact care
• Patient’s treatment, prognosis, and follow-up care

You also review Durable Medical Equipment Prosthetics Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) cases to locate appropriate reports, verify that such reports have been authenticated by the physician, and review for documentation of rehabilitation care and/or medical equipment necessary for patient recuperation. Today, you have also been tasked with verifying durable medical equipment (DME) certificates of medical necessity.

What is a DME certificate of medical necessity, and when is it required?

The threat environment that organizations face includes different types of attacks and different types of attackers who commit these attacks.

• Select two types of network security attacks. Explain the two types of attacks, the types of attackers who are engaged in these attacks, and the counterattacks that are taken to mitigate the risks of these attacks.

 IT Research Paper

Threat Modeling

A new medium-sized health care facility just opened and you are hired as the CIO. The CEO is somewhat technical and has tasked you with creating a threat model. The CEO needs to decide from 3 selected models but needs your recommendation. Review this week’s readings, conduct your own research, then choose a model to recommend with proper justifications. Items to include (at a minimum) are:

• User authentication and credentials with third-party applications
• 3 common security risks with ratings: low, medium or high
• Justification of your threat model (why it was chosen over the other two: compare and contrast)

You will research several threat models as it applies to the health care industry, summarize three models and choose one as a recommendation to the CEO in a summary with a model using UML Diagrams (Do not copy and paste images from the Internet). In your research paper, be sure to discuss the security risks and assign a label of low, medium or high risks and the CEO will make the determination to accept the risks or mitigate them. Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately five to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page. (Remember, APA is double spaced)
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.
• 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.

TCP/IP Protocol Suite

The job of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is to make the Internet work, and the IETF achieves that primarily by writing technical standards for network protocols. The TCP/IP Protocol Suite is a collection of protocols that ultimately enable us to share data across the Internet and other networks.

Search the Internet for information on one of the following IETF Request for Comments (try to pick one that has yet to be discussed on the message boards):

• IETF RFC 791 Internet Protocol.
• IETF RFC 792 Internet Control Message Protocol.
• IETF RFC 793 Transmission Control Protocol.
• IETF RFC 959 File Transfer Protocol.
• IETF RFC 854 Telnet.
• IETF RFC 1058 Routing Information Protocol.
• IETF RFC 1059 Network Time Protocol.
• IETF RFC 1350 Trivial File Transfer Protocol.
• IETF RFC 1939 Post Office Protocol.
• IETF RFC 2409 Internet Key Exchange.
• IETF RFC 2570 Simple Network Management Protocol.
• IETF RFC 3261 Session Initiation Protocol.
• IETF RFC 4251 Secure Shell.
• IETF RFC 4880 Pretty Good Privacy.
• IETF RFC 4291 IPv6 Addressing.

Discuss the primary function that makes the protocol unique from others. Describe the salient characteristics of the protocol including its relationship to the OSI Reference Model and discuss any security mechanisms that the protocol may have built into it. Write your own review of the prominent features of the protocol; do not include material directly copied from the associated IETF Request for Comments.

Response Guidelines

Post detailed comments or questions to at least two other learners and explain how their insights helped to inform your understanding of the specific protocol that they analyzed.
