...When we look at the terms of risk reduction and hazard control we get the terms of eliminating and reducing the issues. Where control of hazards seek to maintain instead of removing the process. The term that risk reduction is applied to is a complete understanding of the intent of the criterion to ty risk- reducing the probability of the events occurring. In the terms of the second and third definitions of risk because they include both the probability of the event and the severity of the harmful consequences. Risk reduction is a term that capture the fundamental concept that harmful events consist of the three phases. Jensen, R. C. (2012).

...Risk Factor Analysis— A New Qualitative Risk Management Tool John P. Kindinger, Probabilistic Risk and Hazards Analysis Group, Los Alamos National Laboratory John L. Darby, Probabilistic Risk and Hazards Analysis Group, Los Alamos National Laboratory Introduction Project risk analysis, like all risk analyses, must be implemented using a graded approach; that is, the scope and approach of the analysis must be crafted to fit the needs of the project based on the project size, the data availability, and other requirements of the project team. Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has developed a systematic qualitative project risk analysis technique called the Risk Factor Analysis (RFA) method as a useful tool for early, preconceptual risk analyses, an intermediate-level approach for medium-size projects, or as a prerequisite to a more detailed quantitative project risk analysis. This paper introduces the conceptual underpinnings of the RFA technique, describes the steps involved in performing the analysis, and presents some examples of RFA applications and results. project activity flow chart to help organize the RFA. The flow chart defines the tasks to be modeled and their interrelationships for the project schedule analysis. WBS and schedule tasks may be consolidated and/or expanded to explicitly highlight those tasks and influences that are expected to have a significant technical risk and/or significant uncertainty in schedule or cost performance. The flow chart is developed...

...Breach Notification Rules The intent of this paper is to define breach notification rules of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the United States (U.S.) and to discuss their objectives and purpose. To achieve this end, it is necessary to conduct a background analysis of the HIPAA breach notification rules. In addition, an evaluation of these rules will be highlighted. Moreover, the impact of the Final Omnibus Rule (FOR) of 2013 on breach notification rules will be emphasized. Finally, the way head will be underscored. Background In August 1996, President Bill Clinton signed HIPAA, which is the single most significant federal legislation affecting the U.S. health care industry since the creation of the Medicare and Medicaid programs in 1965. The five primary goals of the HIPAA legislation are: 1. To improve portability and continuity of health insurance coverage for individuals and groups. 2. To combat fraud, waste, and abuse in the health care industry. 3. To promote the use of medical savings accounts. 4. To improve access to long-term health care services and coverage. 5. To establish standards for administrative simplification (HIPAA, 1996). The Interim Final Rule for Breach Notification for Unsecured Protected Health Information, issued pursuant to the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, which enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)...

...Carson Cummings Lab Assignment for May 16, 2015 1. HIPAA – Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act was set into to place to ensure that all doctors, hospitals, health care providers and researcher keep classified patients information private. The HIPAA was designed to protect the consumer. The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society annual survey gave percentages of log sources. Firewall and Application Logs, servers, intrusion detection and network devices each accounting for over 60%. In addition the Storage area network survey notes a 15-20% increase of log data being collect every year due new regulations, increased log sources and inclusion of application logs. All of data that is collected from the logs is used to detect and prevent unauthorized access and insider abuse, to ensure regulatory compliance and for IT Troubleshooting and network operations. HIPAA requires audit controls, breach notifications, account management reviews, accounting of disclosures and information system activity reviews that drive the necessary logging and audits for corporations to stay in compliance. There are many challenges in terms of the volume of data or systems, lack of integrations, access, functionality, definition, data elements, correlation and data mapping. While there is still opportunities for improvement the field of data being collected is growing and HIPAA is a regulation that can address the barriers that are present. Being that...

They are discussed in detail as below: New Users: When a new user enters the organization, depending upon the roles and responsibilities assigned to the person, he will be given corresponding access rights. With the help of these access rights the person would be able to access the required files and data necessary for his tasks. When these access rights are assigned the user should sign a document, which will list his roles and responsibilities. This document will be co-signed by his supervisor as an agreement. If a user requires elevation in privileges, he will need to get permission from the respecting manager. When new people join organization they will be taken through an orientation program which will give information on security policies, work culture, work place, information security practices etc. Besides orientation program the users will also be trained on topics like remote device protection, password management, content management, file downloads, access levels and its importance and acceptable use of internet and email. These trainings will be mandated for all the new users and after completion of training this will be documented and stored. As per HIPAA guidelines unless all these mandatory trainings are completed they are not given access to the company data and records (HIPAA...

Journal of Information Technology. Competing technology options and stakeholder interests for tracking freight railcars in Indian Railways. Abstract This case analysis, Competing technology options and stakeholder interests for tracking freight railcars in Indian Railways will focus on alternative analysis on multiple types of technological options for undertaking a pilot project based on time-tested automatic equipment identification systems. Each alternative has its own cost benefit and impact analysis, and stakeholders of the overall project have to be taken into account (external and internal stakeholders). Each alternative to implementing this project for automatic equipment identification systems will have to undergo an environmental impact assessment and will require an environmental impact statement according to government guidelines and standards. Overall, this case analysis will conclude a technology forecast and recommendations to which alternative should be implemented dependent on factors discussed in this case analysis.
