As a potential employee, how would you go about investigating a firm’s governance structure?

Corporate Governance

Governance mechanisms are considered to be effective if they meet the needs of all stakeholders, including shareholders. Governance mechanisms are also an important way to ensure that strategic decisions are made effectively. As a potential employee, how would you go about investigating a firm’s governance structure? Would that investigation weigh in your decision to become an employee?

First, address the following item:

Identify a firm that you would like to join or one that you just find interesting. Complete the following research on your target firm:

  • Find a copy of the company’s most recent proxy statement and 10-K. Proxy statements are mailed to shareholders prior to each year’s annual meeting and contain detailed information about the company’s governance and present issues on which a shareholder vote might be held. Proxy statements are typically available from a firm’s website (look for an “Investors” submenu). You can also access proxy statements and other government filings such as the 10-K from the SEC’s EDGAR database.

What might DeLaura and Synge have done to improve communications?

Working as a team is valuable experience; however, there are many times that we will, individually, be responsible for a product.

To Do:

Review the case below. After reviewing the case, utilize the prompts that are included.  Write a memo to your instructor addressing the prompts, utilizing correct memo format.

CASE

Waith Manufacturing Company’s data processing department was preparing to implement a new computerized production information system at its new Madison plant. The project was divided into two parts. One consisted of the installation of a new computer network at the plant and the development of new database programs. The second involved hooking the plant’s network into the company intranet so all departments had access to the production reports.

Alonzo Mendoza was the systems analyst responsible for the development and implementation of the project. Janet DeLaura was a lead programmer under Mendoza working on the plant side of the project. Bill Synge was the other lead programmer responsible for the intranet. Mendoza scheduled a series of weekly status meetings with DeLaura and Synge to ensure the project was moving along as scheduled and to allow for discussion of critical problems. One month before the scheduled implementation of the project, Mendoza called a special meeting to develop the actual series of tasks needed for the final system conversion. During this meeting, Mendoza outlined the major tasks concerning the whole project that had to be done on that last day.

He then solicited input from DeLaura and Synge. DeLaura spoke up immediately and began talking about several new problems that had surfaced on her side of the project. Mendoza interrupted her, saying those problems would be discussed at the regular status meeting, since this meeting had been called to develop final conversion tasks only. DeLaura became irritated and was silent for a few minutes. Synge said he had a few items to add to the conversion list and covered the first two tasks. Then he said the last task covered reminded him of a current problem he had in the interface program. Mendoza replied brusquely that only conversion tasks would be discussed at this meeting. Neither DeLaura nor Synge had much to say during the rest of the meeting.

  1. What would you have done to keep the meeting on the right topic?
  2. What technique might Mendoza have used to avoid interfering with the flow of ideas?
  3. What might DeLaura and Synge have done to improve communications?

examine IT systems applied to health information management (HIM), potential vulnerabilities of these systems, and protocols to mitigate the risk of data and security breaches that are due to these vulnerabilities.

Overview

In this assignment you will examine IT systems applied to health information management (HIM), potential vulnerabilities of these systems, and protocols to mitigate the risk of data and security breaches that are due to these vulnerabilities. IT systems are used for health information and data management in many areas, including patient electronic medical records (EMR), hospital operations management, and health care policy decisions. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a project management framework used to assess IT systems and associated organizational needs to identify and implement improvements to the system. You will write a paper to examine how the SDLC framework can be used to assess an IT system applied to HIM and evaluate risk mitigation protocols that reduce system risk and improve patient quality of care.

Instructions

Write a 5–6 page paper in which you:

  1. Choose a type of IT system applied to Health Information Management (HIM) for improved patient quality of care supported with an explanation for your selection.
    • Examples include
      • Electronic Health Record Systems.
      • e-prescribing Systems.
      • Clinical Decision Support Systems.
      • Radiology Information Systems.
      • Physician Order Entry Systems.
  2. Outline organizational needs that define the requirements for the selected type of IT system applied to HIM.
  3. Critique each of the five phases of the SDLC and how each addresses the organizational needs for the selected type of IT system applied to HIM.
  4. Assess three possible data and security breach vulnerabilities in the selected type of IT system applied to HIM.
  5. Evaluate three protocols to mitigate identified data and security breach vulnerabilities and improve the selected type of IT system applied to HIM.
  6. Synthesize how the outcomes from the analysis of a selected IT system using the SDLC can improve patient quality of care.
