1. Identify one aspect of big data and data mining that is interesting to you. Explain the concept and how it might bring value to healthcare. Explain both concepts Big Data and Data mining. The topic of Big Data that interest me is Electronic Health Records and how it has improved the management of disease among cardiovascular disease patients as well as financial savings that can occur. Data mining that interests me is Exploring factors associated with pressure ulcers: A data mining approach.

2. Describe the concept of continuity planning in the context of planning for natural or manmade disaster.​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​ If you were the director or manager for your current workplace, describe the preparedness program you would recommend. This is all in relationship with the functions of the hospital and its affect with the lack of your computer systems and EHR that are down to care for patients. My text book: Handbook of Informatics for nurses and Healthcare Professionals 6th edition by Hebda,Hunter,Czar – Chapter 16 pages 320 – 340 3. Locate an article discussing the use of informatics in healthcare education of the general public or of nursing students. Discuss the benefits and drawbacks to using technology in this situation and recommendations from the author. Do you feel this use of technology is a viable method of educating (the public or nursing students)? Why or why not?

Sample Solution

Data and data mining

Big data is a collection of data that is huge in volume, yet growing exponentially with time. Volume and Variety are the aspect considered while dealing with big data. Data mining is a process used to extract usable data from a large set of any raw data. Clustering is the common aspect used in data mining. In healthcare, data mining is to identify useful patterns by analyzing large sets of data. These data patterns help predict information trends and then determine what to do about them. Big data is now available to healthcare providers. As a response to the digitalization of healthcare information and rise of value based care, the healthcare system has taken advantage of high data to make strategic business decisions.

Thirdly, Vittola argues that war should be avoided (Begby et al (2006b), Page 332) and that we should proceed circumstances diplomatically. This is supported by the “last resort” stance in Frowe, where war should not be permitted unless all measures to seek diplomacy fails (Frowe (2011), Page 62). This means war shouldn’t be declared until one party has no choice but to declare war, in order to protect its territory and rights, the aim of war. However, we can also argue that the war can never be the last resort, given there is always a way to try to avoid it, like sanctions or appeasement, showing Vittola’s theory is flawed.

Fourthly, Vittola questions upon whose authority can demand a declaration of war, where he implies any commonwealth can go to war, but more importantly, “the prince” where he has “the natural order” according to Augustine, and all authority is given to him. This is further supported by Aristotle’s Politics ((1996), Page 28): ‘a king is the natural superior of his subjects.’ However, he does later emphasise to put all faith in the prince is wrong and has consequences; a thorough examination of the cause of war is required along with the willingness to negotiate rival party (Begby et al (2006b), Page 312& 318). This is supported by the actions of Hitler are deemed unjustly. Also, in today’s world, wars are no longer fought only by states but also non-state actors like Al-Queda and ISIS, showing Vittola’s normative claim on authority is outdated. This is further supported by Frowe’s claim that the leader needs to represent the people’s interests, under legitimate authority, which links on to the fourth condition: Public declaration of war. Agreed with many, there must be an official announcement on a declaration of war (Frowe (2011), Page 59-60&63).
