PUBH-6227-X Week 4: Data Standards, Networking, and the Web

This week the focus is on three areas: Data Standards, Networking, and the Web, and we will pay a lot of attention to data security.  As indicated in the Blackboard classroom for week 4 many individuals and businesses are influenced by information technology – both in their private lives and in their business lives. We depend very heavily on the Internet, and as public health officials, we must be positioned to efficiently tap the power of the Internet... “As Barbour, Chinnock, Cohen, and Yamey (2006) noted, the Internet is also a more efficient and cost-effective way to disseminate information to larger numbers of individuals.”  Data standards enable this sharing of data and information between organizations and institutions and between the different computer systems and software that constitute this network of networks, called the Internet. Consequently, it behooves us as public health professionals to keep data secure even as we harness the power of the Internet and as we apply the associated variety of database systems. 

Hint:

Discussion: I know grades are very important to you. So, please read Berowitz and Roberts (2003) in order to answer or respond appropriately to the first Discussion question. The second Discussion question requires you to consider factors that compromise security when privacy is assured and vice versa. Also, you must include strategies for differential standards, regulation and liability as well as awareness and training programs among others.

Application: Office of Immunizations Case Study

The Application piece is open and shut case. You are to:

Review the case study presented on pages 235 and 236 in the course textbook; (the designers of the syllabus are referring to the first (2003) edition which is reprinted exactly in the 2010 edition) then Develop a 1 (single spaced) page or 2 double-spaced pages that response to the assigned questions. These page limits are for all the questions and for the essay (narrative) only and do not include the title (Cover) page, Abstracts, References, tables, photos, images, graphs, etc. Remember, essays begin with an introduction, then a body and finally, a conclusion.

 

You must apply APA Style – with a Cover page that includes a running head, title and your full name - well spelled out, among other things. Remember, having your full name on your paper is a requirement. This requirement is clearly different from the other requirement on how you save your paper. One more time, and from the Application page, it says: “(Please use the naming convention "WK4Assgn+last name+first initial" as the Submission Title.)”
