Public key infrastructure

Public libraries are trying to keep up in a world where technological changes are rapid and constant. In order to stay relevant, public libraries must understand and embrace change and new technologies. Public library spaces will continue to be reinvented in order to better meet the needs of users. But where the most amount of change is expected is in digital content. As the library changes, the catalog must change. These changes need to consider not just current needs but the future needs of…

Ethical dilemmas always seem to be shrouded when it comes to the Healthcare arena. There should be concern in rural areas which lacks a standard of healthcare. Society’s health is sometimes at the mercy of the local governing body when it comes down to care being provided. Many rural areas that deliver health care are challenged by the people who have little money and the people who have nothing. Those very same people we ask them to make choices. Many times leaving them to make hard and…

conditions for everyone in the world, but efforts to monitor and take action in these supply chain mistreatments need to be taken by the companies expanding into these areas as more steps need to be taken than raising the wages. Globalization will be the key to creating an efficient global economy that is fair for as many people as possible, but getting to that point will not be completely easy as we have all of these issues facing…

Prevention has become a primary focus for nurses to educate the public about the benefits of reducing preventable disease through vaccination. Nurses carry a significant influence by bringing awareness to increase the use of recommended immunizations. For example, school nurses can use evidence-based immunization strategies…

on tobacco, restricting smokers in public space, increased taxes on tobacco, as well as restricting the access have undoubtedly reduce the consumption and exposure rates (Jochelson, 2006). The statistics on the number of smokers in Australia are used as evidence of the success of government intervention as the number of smokers have dropped dramatically from 75% in the 1950s to less than 17% (Sparks, 2011). There is no doubt that strong government action is the key to the decline of smokers and…

need to implement and evaluate interventions that would improve AF’s operational efficiency. Financial Performance One of the key strategic challenges is to balance AF’s mission of serving all patients, regardless of their ability to pay or against tight fiscal environments at federal, state, and local levels. Although, AF receives federal section 330 grants from the Public Health Service of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, these funds have not kept pace with growing needs or…

closer distance to shops and consumers, many conflicts arose. A great concern of exchange of diseases between human and animals emerged. In Hardy’s scholarship, Pioneers in the Victorian province: veterinarians, public health and urban animal economy, it presented various factors of improving public health. With the presence of veterinarians, and meat inspectors, they seek to control the diseases threatening to attack the immune system, leaving humans vulnerable and sickly. Animals were part of…

I had got use to having the skytrain doors shut in my face. No matter how confused or scared someone looked, no one had the time to stop or help a lost person. The ride back home seemed to be longer than usual and I could not help but notice the nervous group of kids trying to figure out the directions. Looking at them reminded me of the time when I first used the skytrain without any adult supervision. I vividly remember the struggle my little cousin and I faced just to get back home. It…

Healthcare is in the midst of a paradigm shift in which the focus is transitioning from volume based care to value based care. Ginter, Duncan and Swayne (2013) describe value as the “amount of satisfaction received relative to the price and the expected outcome or results” (p. 131). In order to ensure success for these healthcare institutions, care must be cost effective and higher in quality (Homsted, Chen & Knoer, 2016). This focus on quality is guided by the Institute for Healthcare…

THE FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER The role of the Family nurse practitioner (FNP) began in the 1960’s as a result of a shortage of primary care providers. (Kennedy, 2014) That however, does not conclude that family nurse practitioners are only a secondary option to fill the void of primary care physicians in underserved areas. Instead, the FNP role has evolved in response to the recognition that nurses with advanced education and training are fully capable of providing primary care and…
