  • Drones and Aerial Surveillance, leading the future?

    Law enforcement leadership decisions require a balance of protecting constitutional rights with actions to ensure community safety. As the use of new technology by law enforcement often ventures into legal areas that are not clearly defined by statutes or case law, leadership involves foresight, analysis, planning, and communication of anticipated issues. Please address the technological advancement of the use of Drones and Aerial Surveillance. Analyze contextual and legal perspectives, and examine details to creatively inform a course of action. This final assignment invites you to embrace the next technology-driven or legal challenge as a leadership opportunity to steer the future.

    ————————————————————

    There are three parts to this assignment: identification of an issue, an analysis plan, and a communication plan.

    Part 1 Identify an Issue. Amidst rapid technological proliferation, political shifts, and uncertainty, effective public safety leadership requires foresight of legal issues before they land on your desk. Foresight is about understanding complexity and making foundational choices on issues as groundwork to direct people in the future. Use Drones and Aerial Surveillance as your challenging issue. The increasing use of drones for searches, crime scene documentation, crowd monitoring, and emergency response presents evolving Fourth Amendment and privacy concerns in California. Questions surrounding warrant requirements, data retention, and surveillance over private property remain legally unsettled. Leadership must anticipate how courts and the public will view prolonged or wide-area aerial surveillance and establish clear policies that define lawful use, limitations, and accountability before challenges arise.

    —————————————————————————————

    Part 2 Analysis Plan. The use of new technology by law enforcement often ventures into legal areas that are not clearly defined by statutes or case law. An analysis plan can involve many levels of investigation and resources to gather insights, reveal the scope, analyze the legal issues behind drone and aerial surveillance, related concerns, possible court decisions, and develop a leadership course of action. Items to identify in an analysis plan might be:

    • the legal protections or rights that are at risk;
    • the people or “rights-holders” (individuals or groups);
    • the legal context of the issue (court cases, judicial opinions, case law, penumbra rights, inferred rule or legal standards, etc.);
    • the environment, stakeholders, forces, and trends; and
    • the tasks, resources, or activities to address the above.

    ———————————————————————————————–

    Part 3 Communication Plan. Articulate a vision for constitutional policing and how your positive leadership and messaging might inspire personnel with a higher purpose in their work. As you develop this component, consider your influence in shaping the experience of law enforcement on a broader scale. This is an opportunity to lead constitutional standards while balancing the interests of public safety and effectiveness. At a minimum, your communication plan should include:

    • your analysis and interpretation of the issues at stake;
    • your decided course of action on the issue;
    • your reasoning for the decision; and
    • your leadership message to three audiences: internal (the people you lead), governance (the people you report to), and the community (the people you protect).

  • Encryption failures in organizations involving at-rest and i…

    Your assignment this week will require researching two organizational failures involving encryption and discussing ways you might work to reduce these types of failures. First, find an organization that suffered a breach as a result of a failure to implement encryption at-rest. This should be easy, look for an organization that suffered a breach as a result of theft and chances are youll find what you need (HINT: Remember, HHS says a theft of PHI that is encrypted is not a breach, so if they reported a breach due to theft, it most likely wasn’t encrypted). This happens A LOT too, so while youre researching, think about how your own organization implements this security (or if it doesnt). This is applicable even if you don’t currently work for a healthcare organization – if your organization deals with customer data, credit cards, educational records, or any type of sensitive records, are they protected? Second, find an organization that suffered a breach as a result of failure to implement encryption in-transit. This one might be harder to research, so some simple things you can look for to help narrow down the search are organizations that suffered breaches as a result of emailing patient files, or failing to use a VPN or other encryption mechanism while accessing charts remotely. While researching, again, think about how your own organization implements this type of security to protect patient information or other sensitive records (or if it doesnt). For both types of breaches, come up with at least one simple way that they could have been prevented. For the next and last component, you might not have intimate knowledge of what your organization has in place, currently work for a healthcare provider, or be comfortable discussing your organizations implementation thats fine, adjust as needed and dont answer any question that you are uncomfortable answering. This assignment is not about spilling company secrets or worrying about who works where… Last assignment component: Think about this topic and the way your organization currently operates. How does your organization currently handle both types of encryption? Do you think its adequate? If you were in charge, would you do it differently? If so, how? Think about the two breaches that you researched for this assignment – if it were your organization in the place of either breach you researched, in your opinion, would the results be the same? You’ve been researching the failures of others this entire quarter and how it happened – with what you’ve read and seen and learned so far, is your own organization primed to be on a breach list? We’re in Week 9 of this course, apply what you have learned to this assignment. Again, I’m not interested in naming names – if you are uncomfortable with writing about your own organization or do not currently work, keep it generic. I am more interested in you applying what you have learned about compliance requirements to what you know about your own potential workplace.

  • HEENT neonatal assessment

    • Performing a systematic inspection of the HEENT (head, eyes, ears, nose, throat [mouth and neck]) system involves skills of acute observation, paying close attention to symmetry and placement of facial features, and palpation. As always, identification of risk factors from the maternal/family/intrapartum history provides an indication of the need for further testing/evaluation. Many facial features provide clues to genetic conditions. Because the head is the presenting part at many deliveries, understanding of normal and abnormal scalp swellings is important to provide explanations to parents about what they are seeing in their infant, as well as any further testing/evaluation that is indicated.
    • Head: evaluate the shape, presence, and distribution of hair, scalp defects, abnormal lesions or protuberances, lacerations, and abrasions or contusions.
    • Head circumference measure should be performed at delivery, and then on a routine basis to assess brain growth.
    • Palpation and measurement of anterior and posterior fontanelles should be performed at delivery and with every physical assessment. It provides information about intracranial pressure, as well as possible congenital conditions. Providers should understand how to measure them, what is normal, and when they are expected to close.
    • Since lumps and bumps on the head may arise from soft tissue or bone and can be firm, hard, or soft, and many are common in newborn infants, palpation of cranial bones/evaluation of sutures is an important skill in order to differentiate between normal findings, variations, or congenital conditions that require further evaluation. Early identification of cranial bone anomalies can improve outcomes and prevent the need for surgical intervention.
    • In addition to observation and palpation, occasionally, auscultation of the skull (through the anterior fontanelle) for a bruit is helpful to detect an arteriovenous malformation. Transillumination of the skull can help identify suspected intracranial defects, such as hydranencephaly and hydrocephalus,
    • The texture, pattern, and amount of scalp hair may suggest an underlying problem. Low hairlines can be consistent with genetic anomalies.
    • Face: evaluate size, shape, position, and symmetry (including of movement) of facial features, including mouth, lips, philtrum, nose, eyes, eyelids (lashes), palpebral fissures, and pinnae may reveal a phenotypic pattern consistent with a syndrome or a genetic/chromosomal abnormality.
    • Swellings can be related to trauma or an infectious process.
    • Understanding how to utilize the ophthalmoscope to evaluate a red reflex is critical to screen for ophthalmic conditions that, if left untreated, could lead to irreversible visual loss, blindness, and even death.
    • Ear placement, formation, along with the presence of preauricular skin tags and pits can indicate a syndrome or genetic anomaly, or a possible hearing deficit (conductive, neurosensory, or both). Otoscope evaluation in the newborn is not routinely performed. Evaluation of family history along with a hearing screen should be performed on every newborn before hospital discharge, accompanied by audiology referral if they do not pass.
    • In addition to the size and shape of the nose, evaluation of the patency of the nasal airway is done. Nasal stuffiness or discharge can arise from an infectious process, maternal substance use, trauma (including from routine suctioning), or congenital anomaly. Nasal flaring can be an indication of respiratory distress.
    • Neck: observe and palpate to evaluate for movement, webbing, cysts, masses, redundant posterior neck folds, and length. The presence of these can indicate a need for further evaluation for genetic conditions, or a need for physical therapy. Early identification of torticollis can improve outcomes and prevent the need for surgical intervention.

    Objectives

    • Week 4: HEENT Assessment
    1. Differentiate between normal and abnormal parameters of the head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and neck exam measurement, inspection, auscultation and transillumination.
    2. Integrate knowledge of birth trauma findings and craniofacial malformations with need for further evaluation/treatment.

    ASSIGNMENT:

    Each question is worth 1 point.

    Case #1

    The bedside nurse comes to you with a concern about a 3 week old former 32-week gestation infant who has “crusties” and some swelling of the right eye. On exam, the eye is mildly edematous, without purulent exudate or conjunctival erythema.

    1. What is included in your differential diagnosis?
    2. Which diagnosis is highest on it? why?
    3. How would you explain the findings and plan to the parents?

    Case #2

    An infant is admitted to the NICU for observation and treatment after a difficult delivery requiring multiple vacuum attempts. The infant was successfully delivered via forceps. The infant required positive pressure ventilation for approximately 30 seconds and remains pale with decreased tone. Apgars are 5 and 8 at one and five minutes. The father visits the infant at one hour of age and verbalizes concern regarding the abnormal shape of the infant’s head. The head is elongated with a prominent occiput. There is pitting edema over the scalp and bruising with denuded skin over the occiput. There is a forceps mark crossing the left eye.

    1. How would you approach the evaluation of this infant?
    2. What is your differential diagnosis for this scalp swelling?
    3. How would you explain the findings and plan to the parents?

    Case #3

    Baby L. was born at 36 4/7 weeks gestation, birth weight 2215 grams at 10:07 am on 10/6/2020 to a Melissa L. a 26-year-old G2P1001 by spontaneous vaginal delivery. Prenatal laboratory findings as follows: blood type O-, antibody positive, RPR non-reactive, rubella immune, HIV negative, hepatitis B negative. Rupture of membranes at 12:01 pm 10/5/2020. Maternal medications included prenatal vitamins, penicillin 1 dose, epidural, Pitocin. Routine prenatal care, pregnancy otherwise uncomplicated. Infants apgars were 6 at one minute and 8 at 5 minutes. The infant was dried, stimulated, and given CPAP +5 with 21% oxygen for persistent cyanosis.

    Neonatal exam at delivery remarkable for caput, a unilateral (right side) cleft lip and palate. Clavicles intact, 3-vessel umbilical cord. Female genitalia, anus present. Moving all extremities symmetrically, 20 digits.

    1. What risk factors can you identify in this H&P?
    2. What other information do you want?
    3. How will you explain the physical findings to the parents immediately after delivery?

    Case #3

    You are performing a discharge exam on a term newborn in mother/baby care. The mother asks you how can she tell if her baby can hear or not. What would you discuss with her?
