Big Data Risks and Rewards

When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.

From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.

As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the web article Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse Execs.
• Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or observed.

***Post a description of at least one potential benefit of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Then, describe at least one potential challenge or risk of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Propose at least one strategy you have experienced, observed, or researched that may effectively mitigate the challenges or risks of using big data you described. Be specific and provide examples.

 This is an activity that can get you thinking as “abstractly” as you want. It’s an easy 100 if you complete it, so let’s have fun. 

For this question, you need to select a word that you will use for this exercise. 

• If you want to think abstractly and be creative, create a six-letter word using this random letter generator. Be sure you get at least two vowels (AEIOU). 
• If you would rather not think creatively and use a real word, select a word from either list on this site. 

The abstract thinkers will have some fun decisions to make; the “concrete thinkers” must actually learn the word they select!

1. List the word you are using for this exercise in the space. The word should be either one you randomly generated or one from the lists at the beginning of the questionnaire.  

2  Using your selected word: 

• If you randonmly generated your word, decide what part of speech it is and list it below. 
• If you are using a real word, consult a dictionary and determine what part of speech your word is. 

(Need a reminder on the parts of speech? Here you go.)

3.  Using the word you selected or generated: 

Teach your instructor how to say this word. 

4.  Using the word you selected, offer either a formal or extended definition. 

• If you generated the word, you can make up as much as you want about it. 
• If you selected a word, you may offer the formal definition, but make sure you understand it. (Go further than just copying and pasting the definition from Google! Don’t plagiarize!)

Formal definitions may include forms of the word, like plural forms or tense forms for verbs. 

Remember extended definitions can include word history and etymology. 

5.  Finally, use your generated or selected word in a sentence.

 Discussion: Professional Nursing and State-Level Regulations
Boards of Nursing (BONs) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Similar entities may also exist for different regions. The mission of BONs is the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice. BONs put into practice state/region regulations for nurses that, among other things, lay out the requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that state/region.
It can be a valuable exercise to compare regulations among various state/regional boards of nursing. Doing so can help share insights that could be useful should there be future changes in a state/region. In addition, nurses may find the need to be licensed in multiple states or regions.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and reflect on the mission of state/regional boards of nursing as the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice.
Consider how key regulations may impact nursing practice.
Review key regulations for nursing practice of your state’s/region’s board of nursing and those of at least one other state/region and select at least two APRN regulations to focus on for this Discussion..
By Day 3 of Week 5
Post a comparison of at least two APRN board of nursing regulations in your state/region with those of at least one other state/region. Describe how they may differ. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how the regulations you selected may apply to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who have legal authority to practice within the full scope of their education and experience. Provide at least one example of how APRNs may adhere to the two regulations you selected.

Read the case about Adobe Systems and answer the five questions noted below. 

Formatting Guidelines! Make sure each question is copied and pasted above the answer. Also, please make sure all responses are numbered in the same order as the assignment. 

Most people know Adobe Systems for its Photoshop software and the Acrobat and Adobe Reader programs for creating and viewing its portable document format (PDF) files. Recently, Adobe has been shifting its focus from packaged software programs to online software. During that transition, Adobe’s senior vice president of people resources, Donna Morris, wondered whether its HR systems—particularly performance management— also needed a new strategy.

Evidence signaled a need for change at the11,500- employee company. Adobe was using a process of annual reviews that ranked employees. Morris’s team calculated that Adobe’s managers spent 80,000 hours per year on the process, equivalent to the time of 40 full-time employees. Was the effort improving performance? Probably not. Every year, immediately following the feedback sessions, voluntary departures by employees spiked. On the corporate blog, Morris wrote a piece about her desire to eliminate formal performance appraisals. It became one of Adobe’s most popular blog posts, and comments poured in from employees who were delighted with the idea and disappointed in managers’ apparent lack of recognition of their accomplishments and failure to support their career development.

Morris determined that she had to act. She announced that Adobe would go forward with abolishing performance appraisals, along with related schedules and forms. Instead, the company would prepare managers to carry out a practice called the Check-In, through which they provide ongoing feedback and coaching. The timing of the feedback is up to the managers, consistent with Adobe’s strategy of encouraging managers to act as “business owners” of the group they lead. Managers were trained to focus on goals, objectives, and career development. Instead of tying pay increases to rankings, managers relate them to employee achievement of their goals.

Instituting a less formal system poses some challenges. For example, without a schedule for conducting performance reviews, Adobe needs a way to ensure that managers are engaging in performance-related discussions. For this, Adobe has employees meet with managers two levels above (their boss’s boss) to discuss whether they have the support they need for their team to meet its goals. The HR department emphasizes training managers in the skills needed for providing feedback.

Reactions to the changes have been overwhelmingly positive. In annual surveys, employees say the Check-ins are easier and more effective than the old system, and that their managers are getting better at helping them improve. Also telling are the rates at which employees leave. Involuntary departures are more common, suggesting that managers are having franker conversations with employees who do not improve. Voluntary departures have dropped by 30%, and a larger share of these are what Adobe calls “non-regrettable” departures.

Please answer the following questions.

1. How can managers at Adobe ensure that the feedback they provide during check-ins is effective? (Hint: Use the guidance provided in the Giving and Receiving Feedback (Links to an external site.) video, or reference pages 319-320 in the assigned reading.Actions
2. In terms of the criteria for effective performance management, what advantages does Adobe gain and lose by shifting its methods from rating individuals to measuring results? (Hint: The assigned reading will help you answer question 2. Specifically, reading pages 306 – 312 will be helpful. You can access the reading here)
3. In order to deliver effective feedback, the Giving and Receiving Feedback (Links to an external site.) video mentions the importance of preparing your feedback in advance. Explain the advantage of managers preparing the feedback in advance of speaking with employees at Adobe.
4. In order to deliver effective feedback, the Giving and Receiving Feedback (Links to an external site.) video mentions the importance of focusing on your tone. For example, the video mentions it’s helpful for managers to be empathetic. Why would it be important for managers at Adobe to be empathetic towards employees when they are delivering feedback?
5. Describe something you learned in the Giving and Receiving Feedback (Links to an external site.) video that will help you give feedback outside of work to a family member, significant other, or a friend.
