...these adventurous persons discovered that the safety net of emergency services and in particular emergency medical services became more and more fragmented. Now, communication technology has helped fill this gap, not only for the distant traveler in far-flung corners of the world, but for residents in developed countries that still face a fragmented infrastructure for summoning emergency medical assistance. Today, automatic call-outs for emergency medical care are being placed by a network of satellite, cellular, WI-FI, and Bluetooth connected telecommunications devices that not only tell you the time, let you make calls, and are micro-sized portable computers in the form of the widely possessed SMART watch, but monitor your vital signs and other data received from any Smart-Prosthetics you may be wearing or have had implanted within your body that will automatically contact your medical provider to record medical information about your real-time health, evaluate those results, and determine next step courses of action for basic medical treatment including summoning emergency medical attention. This network is called the Auto-ER network. The Auto-ER network is an integration of data feeds and communications components that allow an array of medical data to be collected using currently available technology that is communicated to medical personnel. One of the latest expansions of this network is the summoning of emergency medical personnel without the intervention of the patient...

Ensuring that there is a better and efficient means by which the stadium can be able to communicate to its users today informing them of the activities which do take place in the stadium such as the day of football matches has been a pretty challenge to most stadium managers. Yet communication among relevant parties is recognized as the only means by which absolute trust and effective service delivery can be achieved. Ways of handling insecurity in the stadiums appears also to be a major challenge globally especially when we consider the issue of global terrorism which appears to be on the rise. Handling emergency situations when there is an insecurity incident in the stadium also is an issue which also has become a nightmare to many stadium managers because of the lack of proper emergency response coordination.

...is knowledge deficit of accessing appropriate health care related lack of knowledge related to accessing proper level of health care as evidenced by inappropriate use of emergency services for non emergent care needs. Background and context Four intrepid nursing students from St Catherine University undertook a community assessment of University Avenue from Snelling Avenue east to the capitol buildings otherwise known as Frog Town. Conversations occurred with stakeholders including paramedics and local citizens at a Salvation Army. One disturbing trend that was identified is the use of emergency medical services and emergency rooms for routine care needs such as stomach flu. This occurs and is reinforced for several reasons. One of these is the 1986 legislation EMTALA that enforces that all hospitals must see and treat everyone regardless of their ability to pay. This is an unfunded mandate which means no reimbursement is provided shifting the cost onto society in the forms of increased cost for other services. According to Consumer Health Reports, the average cost of an ER visit is $1300 (2009). While the ER provides for a catch all safety net it does not provide timely effective and appropriate care to citizens. Since all emergency calls must be responded to, the individual who may need emergency...

...management has deemed it necessary to call for a complete evacuation of the hospital. The Federal Emergency Management Administration (1996) stated that, “There are several factors which must be considered when planning for an evacuation, among these are the characteristics of the hazard or threat itself” (P. 5E1). Our goal is to Develop an effective emergency response plan, which will takes into account the threat of fire, this is vital to emergency management. We must be prepared at all times, no matter what type of emergency it is, be it a natural disaster or a manmade event; the hospital should have a planned response to protect the hospitals assets. Interagency Coordination Interagency Coordination is a significant part of a completed response plan. Hospital plans for full or partial evacuation should incorporate pre-planning and address the incident command and management structure established for its operational area (community). In advance of an event, Hospitals should understand and incorporate local plans and protocols that are in place to support evacuation and should establish Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with other hospitals, as necessary, for transfer and mutual aid during an emergency. (Hospital Evacuation section, para. 1). When evacuation is first contemplated, the hospital should alert the local emergency medical services agency (LEMSA), Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and/or Medical Health Operational Area Coordinator (MHOAC) in accordance...

...facility is not equipped with is a Methyl Isocyanate detector. At approximately 3:00 p.m. on July 7, 2013 numerous employees working in the insecticide production area of the plant began experiencing nausea, difficulty breathing, sweating, fever, chills, and eye irritation (EPA, n.d.). At that time, a chemical leak of some kind was suspected. The supervisor for the insecticide production area immediately had one of the unaffected workers call the emergency response number (ERG, 2012) while he made sure all of his people were out of the area and accounted for. The worker who called emergency response advised that there was an unknown leak in their area and gave an initial count of people affected and their symptoms. The supervisor grabbed the portable eyewash stations and medical kits as him and his staff evacuated the area. The recommended safe distance for a methyl isocyanate leak is 150-feet (ERG, 2012), but because the origin and source of the leak was not determined at that time, all employees evacuated the building to await emergency personnel. Once outside, all employees were staged in the parking area to the west of the plant because the wind was blowing to the east (ERG, 2012). Employees who were exhibiting signs of exposure were kept apart from other personnel to avoid cross contamination....

The companies’ use and protection of sensitive data will be analyzed. The companies’ use and protection of member information will be analyzed. Discussion of the communication plan to be used during and following the disruption will be explained. Lastly steps on how the companies operations will be restored after the disruption will be discussed. Business Continuity Plan Red Circle is a non-for-profit health insurance company located in Minnesota. Red Circle serves members in commercial and government lines of business.

...let’s fast forward to the year 2000. I had recently returned to the church home of my youth and it felt good to be back amongst family and friends. Then one brisk Sunday morning in February, she walked through the doors of the church and it was as though I had never left. She had moved to Oklahoma but had returned to visit her family. I couldn’t wait to speak to her, so immediately after service I asked her to lunch. We caught up and reminisced about old times. We laughed and we flirted. We didn’t miss a beat, even though we had not seen each other in over 10 years. It was at that moment, on a magnificent Sunday afternoon, I knew I was still in love with her. This was the woman I was meant to marry. I made sure I acquired her phone number before she left, so we could stay in touch. I was determined not to allow history to repeat itself, before I had accepted her “no” reply and moved on, but not this time. I knew in order to accomplish this, there were some obstacles I would have to overcome; after all she did live ten hours away. I put my game plan in motion and I was ready for a rematch. The first issue I had to tackle was the distance. If she was to really take me seriously, I had to be willing to make the ten hour road trip from Houston, Texas to Miami, Oklahoma. I thought to myself, “I am Army strong, I can handle that”. However, I still had to get her to agree to let me visit, so I decided to woo her. I checked on her every day. She worked the graveyard shift and we...

...A field may define a telephone number, a date, or other specific characteristics that the end user wants to keep track of. c. Record: A logically connected set of one or more fields that describes a person, place, event, or thing. For example, a CUSTOMER record may be composed of the fields CUST_NUMBER, CUST_LNAME, CUST_FNAME, CUST_INITIAL, CUST_ADDRESS, CUST_CITY, CUST_STATE, CUST_ZIPCODE, CUST_AREACODE, and CUST_PHONE. d. File: Historically, a collection of file folders, properly tagged and kept in a filing cabinet. Although such manual files still exist, we more commonly think of a (computer) file as a collection of related records that contain information of interest to the end user. For example, a sales organization is likely to keep a file containing customer data. Keep in mind that the phrase related records reflects a relationship based on function. For example, customer data are kept in a file named CUSTOMER. The records in this customer file are related by the fact that they all pertain to customers. Similarly, a file named PRODUCT would contain records that describe products – the records in this file are all related by the fact that they all pertain to products. You would not expect to find customer data in a product file, or vice versa. 2. What is data redundancy, and which characteristics of the file system can lead to it? Data redundancy exists when there is duplicate data found in a database. Such as, a customer's telephone number being found in the invoice...
