Accountability

involved with health information technology’s role in healthcare from the very beginning. Submitting and processing insurance claims was becoming more and more prominent and in 1996 the nationwide implantation of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was in effect. This act provides multiple guarantees. Not only does it have the ability to ensure health coverage when a person is switching or has lost their job but in relation to health information technology it…

More recently, leadership, as evaluated by the workforce, has been an issue of concern throughout the federal workforce, but particularly in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2012a). In evaluating the 2012 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), the Partnership for Public Services noted that although for several years federal employees had not provided high remarks for their leaders, scores on leadership dropped remarkably for the first time…

Proctors influence intellectual accountability. The purpose of a supervising agent is to validate a pupil's knowledge while ensuring academic credibility. Institutions that implement proctors design safeguards to protect integrity. In some settings, a description for a chosen overseer is submitted for verification of credentials and reason selected. It is the responsibility of the university, student, and supervising agent to hold individuals liable. The function of a supervising agent is to…

In today’s society, our health care industries need a broad array of ethical and moral responsibility place on them to provide protection for the individual’s they can harm. Within health care there is an enormous amount of research that need to be attained to complete an analysis during research. Safekeeping a patient involved in a study from damage and stabilizing their human rights is crucial to the ethical responsibility in research. If we as health care professional’s place priority on…

In the discussion of buying the F-35, many controversial issues have presented themselves. This plane should not be purchased due to its crippling cost, potential risk to pilots who are flying this plane, and the availability to repurposing this money into needed programs such as infrastructure. On one hand, Lockheed Martin argues that as the expenditure increases, so does the performance in which in necessary for modern day combat. On the other hand, some experts believe that this plane should…

Shouldn’t The Gap Decrease With Age? The gap also increases with age. Younger men and women pay gaps are closer together and expand further apart as women get older. Ages 18 to 24 the gap is at 88%, at age 25 to 34 it lessens to an 86% difference, and after age 35 the gap closes to 76% of what men earn (consequences for women). Why would the gap widen with age, when the gap should close because of experience gained? This is because of what people would called the “mommy penalty”. The mommy…

demonstrate any real change as far as circulation goes. I agree that what the penny represents is of great historical significance; however, studies have proven that Americans continue to pay little attention to the penny. Statistics from The Government Accountability Office show that “almost 66 percent of pennies did not circulate.” In other words, over half of the pennies that taxpayers spend millions on aren’t even being used. People might say they want to keep the penny but that doesn't mean…

Music Accountability When the world was introduced to the cassette tape, we thought it was amazing. We never would’ve thought we’d be streaming music live via internet. With the help of places like iTunes, Spotify, and other things, streaming and downloading music is a daily task. But is this a completely positive fact of life? Downloading music online has become a past-time in America. Tons and tons of teenagers do it daily. Most don 't realize the consequence for us or the artists and some…

Today, young people show a great interest in electronic books. With the increasing price of textbooks for school, students could use e-books as an alternative to receiving all the information they need. Most students, however, would prefer to rely on the hardback copy, but why use that when e-books are offered at a much lower price? Studies have argued about the difference in learning that e-books instill in students rather than paper books. Some fear that it may hinder their learning, but…

reality of all this is that they are doing this without asking for a person 's permission. A possibility she fails to address is what happens in the case that information becomes available for purposes other than intended. “A recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report found the number of information-security incidents in which personal information was involved has more than doubled over the last few years, exceeding 25,000 in fiscal 2013” (“Privacy”). That means that every day there…
