Systems of all types are designed using the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model (or something very similar).

The graphical representation of it is located at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Systems_Development_Life_Cycle.jpg

Compare the MIS Readiness Checklist to the SDLC. Put yourself in the role of a consultant who has been asked to make sure the readiness checklist addresses all phases of the SDLC before it gets published on the web. provide the client with your impressions and recommendations for the Checklist.

Check out the Copenhagen Consensus Center at:  http://www.copenhagenconsensus.com

It is a project which aims at making the world a better place. They try to be wary of unrealistic aspirations and instead focus on the most effective goals. Their intent is to achieve these goals by 2030. Please proceed as following:

– Check out their webpage listed above and explore the project and their intentions.

– Find an example for an area which you think needs to be made number 1 priority to make the world a better place in your view. I would like you to come up with an informed decision and arguments why you chose what you chose.

–  In a next step explain a strategy by explaining a set of actions and commitments how positive change can happen. What can be done to reach that goal? What actions can be taken to reach that plan?

– What could be a potential problem when trying to reach that goal?

– Please structure your write-up with headers as follows: 1.“identified priority area”, 2. “strategies and actions to make it work”, 3. “potential problems when trying to make that strategic change”. This will help my grading and gives you structure when writing.

–  Make sure to quote in the following way throughout, e.g. list the exact internet quote or the author and a full reference. Always add a source when you cite and do not just take information. Of course, you need to respect the honor code of the university.

Application: The Ethics and Legalities of Medication Error Disclosure

American writer Nikki Giovanni once said: “Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts” (Goodreads, 2012). Whenever you make an error when writing a prescription, you must consider the ethical and legal implications of your error—no matter how seemingly insignificant it might be. You may fear the possible consequences and feel pressured not to disclose the error. Regardless, you need to consider the potential implications of non-disclosure. How you respond to the prescription error will affect you, the patient, and the health care facility where you practice. In this Assignment, you examine ethical and legal implications of disclosure and nondisclosure of personal error.

Consider the following scenario:

You are working as an advanced practice nurse at a community health clinic. You make an error when prescribing a drug to a patient. You do not think the patient would know that you made the error, and it certainly was not intentional.

To prepare:

•Consider the ethical implications of disclosure and nondisclosure.
•Research federal and state laws for advanced practice nurses. Reflect on the legal implications of disclosure and nondisclosure for you and the health clinic.
•Consider what you would do as the advanced practice nurse in this scenario including whether or not you would disclose your error.
•Review the Institute for Safe Medication Practices website in the Learning Resources. Consider the process of writing prescriptions. Think about strategies to avoid medication errors.

To complete:

Write a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following:
•Explain the ethical and legal implications of disclosure and nondisclosure. Be sure to reference laws specific to your state.
•Describe what you would do as the advanced practice nurse in this scenario including whether or not you would disclose your error. Provide your rationale.
•Explain the process of writing prescriptions including strategies to minimize medication errors.
