...bar code or UPC label that is used to provide easy access to information through a smartphone with a camera and software application. These codes are an advanced form of a barcode that can store over a vast amount of text information. QR codes have become somewhat popular in today’s fast- paced society due to the rapid transmission of information. Companies such as LifeSquare, ID Amber, and ScanMedQR.com utilize QR codes by storing personal information making it accessible to First Responders in case of an emergency. These codes have both advantages and disadvantages. Lifesquare provides the convenience of having the encrypted QR code in sticker form that can be placed on multiple personal items and locations such as wallets, cards, bags, and refrigerators. Lifesquare is the first emergency health information company to integrate with local emergency response. Authorized paramedics and EMTs simply scan your Lifesquare code to access the critical information needed.

...rise. People are still losing their homes and debt is at an all-time high. The permission of choosing my CAFR allowed digging deeper into this growing problem by discovering who regulates drug and crime programs, the debt position, and other municipals relating to the well-being of my hometown. In this paper, I will address the crisis relating to a nonmajor governmental fund program designed to aid in the decline of crime and drugs and the recent trend relating to pension debt and the tax debt of the general, agency and enterprise fund. The drug and education program are vital in PG based on four fund comparisons on two statements. According to PG CAFR in the Combining Statement of Balance Sheet- Nonmajor Governmental Funds (balance sheet) and the Combined Statement of Revenue, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances-Non Government Fund (Statement of REC), the county had total assets of $6, 961, 225 and total revenue of $2, 095, 042, which ultimately provide the Drug Enforcement and Education Program (DEEP) a staggering figure of $9,056,267[ii]. DEEP proceeds come from the...

...ad Administrative Ethics HCS/335 Health Care Ethics and Social Responsibility February 22, 2015 William Bross Administrative Ethics When it comes to administrative ethics in the health care field, this is where ethics issues are being dealt with on a constant basis. The hard part is of keeping the ethical line between what is right and legal is not an easy thing to figure out. In this article, it talks about patients' confidentiality, and in this article it is about critical care providers are often privy to confidential information in the course of the clinic. The dilemma can arise when confidential information is requested by family members or friends of the patient. The Critical care nurses must be aware of the regulations regarding confidentiality, as well as situations where the use and disclosure of protected health information are permitted. (Critical Care Nurse.2012;32[5]:61-65) This is where the critical care nurses must take the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) laws on how important they are in the health care field, and to make sure that use the line between what is right with the confidentiality for their patients. When it comes to the health care field there are privacy and confidentiality that needs to be enforced to the areas where it comes patient privacy and confidentiality. However, in this paper the legal and ethical issues that arise from both sides, when each party is bound by separate laws, as well as what happens...

...blame the justice system for the higher number of minority inmates. I believe that it’s because of the drug-war and poverty and not as much the justice system racial profiling. There is no way to answer this question without looking farther into what racial profiling is, and what affects it has on people. From my understanding, when most people hear the words racial profiling they automatically think of black Americans being harassed by the police or other law enforcement officials. Racial profiling does not just consist of law enforcement officers arresting or detaining minorities because of their color or ethnicity. It also consists of people harassing other people differently because of their name, appearance, beliefs, and any personal trait they have. Merrian-Webster defines profiling, as the act or process of extrapolating information about a person based on known traits or tendencies. (Profiling, 2013) In my opinion, most people do some sort of racial profiling on a daily basis. It may be something as simple as locking your door when you drive through a bad part of town. This does not make you a bad person because statistics may prove that where you are driving does typically have a higher crime rate, but does it make it right? Quoting statistics at this time is not going to open any eyes or prove any points. At this time, I would just like to discuss the different points of view on profiling in general, where racial profiling is or is not the reason for the...

Currently I volunteer through the ambulance core and going to school to get my EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) certification. They have taught us about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Yes anyone can get and go thought Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. But it is found most common in the medical field and the military. As far as the EMS stand point. A stressful, events are sometimes psychologically overwhelming. Some symptoms will include depression, startling reactions, flashbacks, phenomena and dissociative. Episodes even can experience amnesia of the event. Critical incident stress management (CISM), this is a form of treatment that I would be provided by the base. It is developed to address acute stress. It’s a theoretically is used to confront the response to critical incident and defuse it. Critical incident stress management is basically refers to a debriefing for personal that was on the scene of the incident and will continue after if they are showing signs and symptoms of distress while resting. Before reentering the scene and even before leaving the scene. That is based on my own personal knowledge and awareness. There are three articles included in this paper just so you have more idea of the two incidents that happen. We have lost three great heroes in the last two years. The first...

...The School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act (S.1884 and H.R 3627) is a bill that will inspire states to enact laws that will permit schools to keep stock epinephrine (epipen) in the school medicine cabinet. The epinephrine will not be prescribed for any particular student and will be readily available for any student having anaphylaxis. The bill will also allow school staff to administer epinephrine without any liability. Moreover, any school that adopts this legislation will be given preferences when applying for asthma related government grants from health and human resources department (TheHill.com, 2012). Just recently, a first grader, Amarria Johnson of Virginia State died after experiencing an episode of anaphylaxis from eating peanut. Her death could have been prevented, but the school had no epinephrine on hand to save her life(TheHill.com,2012).According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (2011),the delay in using epinephrine is closely associated with death from anaphylaxis,expecially anaphylaxis resulting from peanuts allergy (niaid,2011).Symptoms of anaphylaxis include itching ,swelling of lips and tongue, tightness of throat, skin hives, vomiting, diarrhea ,cramps, shortness of breath, cough, wheezing, weak pulse, dizziness and passing out (niaid,2011). According to Gregory Nancy (July 2012), about eight percent of American children are affected by allergies. Six million children have food allergy and about forty percent of those...

...Benefits of Video Games English 223 D 12/5/2012 Intro I have played video games since I was five years old, they have been a huge part of my life. They have made me the person I am today for better or worse, but I believe for the better. They have helped me significantly in my social life. They helped me make friends, and have allowed me to have a common ground with people I would other wise never have anything in common with. It allows me to meet new people and keep in touch with friends in far off places. The challenges that video games have presented me have taught me how to analyze the situation quickly so I can react just as fast. Also I have learned a lot of random facts from video games about the real world. Many of the situations in video games have connections to the real world and thanks to the simulations of real life in video games I know how to react to certain situations or perform certain task appropriately with out actually ever doing them before. I believe video games have many benefits to offer everyone, they have been great to me and I am sure they can help everyone. Video games are deemed as toys with no apparent value but to waste time. This is very untrue, video games can be very beneficial if used properly. They can increase analysis and problem solving skills, they allow people the ability to keep in touch with their friends from all around the world and even make new ones because they have a shared interest, and they can...
