add comment or opinion to these posts: 1)             The risk communication strategy that was used by the Center for Disease Prevention and Control during the 2003 SARS outbreak is an example of how psychological distress was mitigated. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2004), mixed messages result in psychological distress because it prevents people from getting consistent and simple recommendations from multiple experts from different sources. However, the CDC prevented the occurrence of such an issue during the SARS outbreak when its solid communication plan ensured the consistency of information and improved public perception of the management of the crisis. Therefore, the management of information during the epidemic is an example of how to prevent psychological distress during emergencies.            The effective management of the communication during the terrorist attack in New York by its former mayor can be considered as the outcome of successful communication due to the level of honesty and openness that was displayed by the government official. Instead of succumbing to pressures to release the casualty figures from the incident, he was honest about it by letting the public know that he does not have the information (Eichelberger,2007). Therefore, the effectiveness of the risk communication efforts of the public officials during a crisis is dependent on the perception by the public that they received accurate information about the bad news and are prepared to handle other incidents that might occur as the event unfolds.            In this regard, the barriers and obstacles in the communities that could be escalated through negative perceptions of the handling of the crisis by members of the public could be eliminated through effective risk communication. Also, the information from the assigned readings showed that effective risk communication is the most appropriate strategy for increasing the active participation of all stakeholders, including the public and private ones. According to O'Neill, Calia, Chess, and Clarke (2007)., the need to strengthen the resilience of the overall emergency management systems that communities utilize for both human and natural disasters is dependent on the effectiveness of the processes for risk communication. In a nutshell, effective risk communication is necessary for a successful career in emergency management because of its role in increasing community participation and elimination or mitigation of barriers from all stakeholders.            As a conclusion, the critical review of the literature on effective risk communication showed that current and future emergency managers should place great attention on the development of a communication plan that identifies all the elements that are essential for increasing public support and building community resilience. Also, they should understand that communication is crucial to the acquisition of the relevant resources for the execution of all the activities that are needed to respond and recover from the incident (Schiavo, 2014). Finally, the unpredictable nature of these disasters further makes it imperative for practicing and aspiring emergency management professionals to ensure the uniformity of their messages and is not used to counter rumors or demonstrate the power struggles between all the agencies and organizations that are involved in the project. References Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2004). Crisis & emergency risk communication: by leaders for leaders. Atlanta, GA: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Eichelberger, L. (2007). SARS and New York's Chinatown: the politics of risk and blame during an epidemic of fear. Social Science & Medicine, 65(6), 1284-1295. O'Neill, K. M., Calia, J. M., Chess, C., & Clarke, L. (2007). Miscommunication during the anthrax attacks: How events reveal organizational failures. Human Ecology Review, 119-129. Schiavo, R. (2014). Risk communication: Ebola and beyond. 2)  1. From your reading, what is an example of how psychological distress either WAS mitigated or COULD HAVE been better mitigated via the use of effective risk communication from public officials? The emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARC) in 2003, there were numerous stories and propaganda that circulated throughout the Asian areas in the US, especially in New York (Eichelberger, 2007). News media had their interpretation about the cause of this epidemic, speculating that this was a domestic epidemic, while only a few people in the entire country had been infected. The Asian areas were marked as sites of contagion and risks. It is important for a public leader to counter the rumors in real time, to prevent tension among the community. The psychological distress at this crisis could have better been mitigated if there were a national response from the local, regional and state official. In such a crisis, people do not want to pick the best message to follow. They want a consistent and simple recommendation from multiple sources. Therefore, the national response officials could have collaborated with other partners including the new Media to ensure that the right message was disseminated to the public in real time. 2. Name a success of risk communication, if you can locate one, and alternatively, name a failure of effective risk communication (and why it was deemed a failure).  I believe there is a lot to learn from the crisis in West Africa. The anthrax attack in New Jersey is a perfect example of a failed risk communication. During the attack in 2001, there was a very complex interaction between the relevant authorities (O'Neill et al., 2007). Even though the attack was perpetrated through a letter; information to the public was released more than two weeks later. In fact, hospitals that encountered cases of infection did not notify the local health officials for mobilization. 3. What lessons about effective risk communication will you carry forward in your career in emergency management? In today’s information age, it is essential to disseminate information in real time to counter the psychological distress that may emerge from public tension.  This means that there should be a consistent message when there is an outbreak. Thus, I have learned that to have a successful risk communication; it is important to coordinate with all stakeholders and ensure that the risk message is available to the public. This does not mean telling the public not to worry, but rather engaging them in the progress of management and always being the lead. In other words, nothing is important in emergency management than a solid communication plan. If there is no solid plan, a disaster could be detrimental to the public, like was the cases of CDC, during an anthrax attack. Due to lack of effective risk management, CDC has been blamed and criticized ever since the incident. References Eichelberger, L. (2007). SARS and New York's Chinatown: the politics of risk and blame during an epidemic of fear. Social Science & Medicine, 65(6), 1284-1295. O'Neill, K. M., Calia, J. M., Chess, C., & Clarke, L. (2007). Miscommunication during the anthrax attacks: How events reveal organizational failures. Human Ecology Review, 119-129. Schiavo, R. (2014). Risk communication: Ebola and beyond. 3)  Disaster occurs unknowingly and affects many people at ago. According to Ripley (2009), traditionally disaster was anything that caused loss of life or big loses to the properties. I selected reading of a case involving Odwalla Foods E-coli outbreak that happened in 1996, which was handled expertly by the company. Washington state health officials officially lined a string of E. coli contamination cases to Odwalla's apple juice. The contamination had caused the death of one child and hospitalization of more than sixty people. The leadership of the company promptly responded by accepting the blame for the E.coli contamination, made a public apology, and assured the masses that the situation would be handled effectively. Also, Odwalla paid the medical costs of all the people affected by their products. They recalled all their products, which had a juice of any kind which cost them over six million dollars. The company maintained regular communication with the public informing them of the new safety standards through newspaper ads, press briefings, and their official website. In the end, the company managed to survive the crisis and was acquired by the Coca Cola Company. One of the most notable successful risk communication cases is Apple's legal struggle with the United States (US) federal government in 2016. The federal government approached the company requesting them to help investigators hack an iPhone belonging to a Syed Farook who was a terrorist involved in the 2015 San Bernardino attack. The company refused as they were concerned that such actions would permanently compromise the security of their devices and also set a negative precedent between companies and the government. Apple communicated to the public about their concerns and received overwhelming support from the masses. An example of a failure in risk communication is the miscommunication during anthrax attacks in 2011 by local health officials involving the Monmouth Processing and Distribution Center (PDC). According to O'Neill, Calia, Chess & Clarke (2007), two employees from Monmouth PDC were admitted to hospital after a nasal swab showed they had bacillus on Oct 29th. The issue was not reported to state health officials nor did the company issue any timely public statements. The news spread via the grapevine, and shortly afterwards, the media published stories about the infected persons. The union took the employer to the court recommending closure until the facility was anthrax-free. Further tests, however, showed that the two has bacillus but not Bacillus anthracis and were not infected by with anthrax. The company had failed to control the narrative ad suffered a lot of negative public relations (PR). From the readings, I have several life-long lessons I have learned. According to Renata (2014). inter-organizational collaboration is instrumental in risk communication. I understand that it is essential for individuals and companies to maintain positive relationships with the police, media, and other stakeholders who are helpful in the event of a crisis. Risk communication involves a series of steps leading to proper risk management. To have an appropriate risk communication, I will need to do several things such as issue public statements, give progress reports, accept blame, and improve the status quo. Risk communication has taught me several things I would like to share with my colleagues.  According to the Center for Disease Control (n.d), reducing fear and anxiety is necessary and achievable through the issuance of timely messages to the public. The public is likely to react emotionally to crises, and it is the responsibility of the leader to facilitate a relaxed response through communication. The society seeks leaders who are active and participatory in response and recovery. Leaders cannot afford to take a passive role in the event of crises; they must step up to an active role which boosts the public's confidence.

1)  In this week discussion, I want to share an event that happens last month in the Philadelphia port and caught my attention, and we can apply the risk management principle to minimize or extract that danger.  On the 19th of June, officials seized more than 16 tons of cocaine worth $1 billion at a South Philadelphia port. Shipping containers full of illegal drugs have been found and seized by federal authorities at a Philadelphia port in what federal authorities describe as the largest seizure in the region's history. U.S. Attorney William McSwain said the ship contained enough cocaine to "kill millions of people."Members of the ship's crew have been arrested and charged with federal drug trafficking charges. Drug trafficking problems are an excellent example of using risk management. Risk control is essential in any association or organization, and this means the creation of strategies that help in the reduction of the likelihood of risk occurrence.  The 4T strategy is vital tool or approach in minimizing the risk of these illegal drugs to be spread as it enables the assessment of the strategies that are available to the organization in the reduction of risk (Hopkin, 2017). There is a focus on the methods that are solid in enhancing the management of the risks and the mitigation factors that assists in propelling the organization towards the means of risk control. The 4T's ensure that there is a focus on the growth measures, and this involves focusing on the certainty that the risks control methods function towards the protection of the interests of the company. The U.S. Attorney and the border control can use the 4Ts represented in Transferring, Tolerating, Treating, and Terminating to manage and minimize the risks associated with drug dealings.

In early 2017, the patient reportedly went to Dorn VA Medical Center in South Carolina with nausea and vomiting. He was administered doses of pegfilgrastim but should have received filgrastim. While both medications are administered by syringe and intended to stimulate white blood cell growth, the prescribed filgrastim can be taken daily. Following 11 days at the hospital and multiple doses of pegfilgrastim, the patient died after developing pulmonary toxicity leading to severe acute lung injury.  Effective risk management involves a five-step process, Identification of the risk, risk analysis and investigation, selection of the best risk management strategy, and implementation of the chosen. To address medication error risk, it must first be identified. Review of incident reports is probably the most common method of identifying medication errors used by nurse leaders.

Review the scenario described below. Then answer the questions in an APA style format utilizing your textbook, the internet, and the information provided within the scenario to support your analysis. Make sure that you thoroughly respond to each goal as well as each of the questions posed within the goal to complete the assignment. Scenario #3: Jennifer is enrolled in the HIT program at her local college. She also works full-time in a physician’s office. She enjoys working in the office – the patients are wonderful (often bringing her baked goods), the office staff is great to work with (they frequently go out on Friday nights after work) and the location is convenient to her home. On the other hand, the physician and the billing manager are not very friendly and often speak in hushed voices behind closed doors. Jennifer has heard the nurses grumble about unnecessary testing. She has also heard patients complain to the office manager about incorrect billing. Jennifer is aware that most of the patients have XYZ Insurance. Jennifer is starting to suspect that this office may not be acting in a manner consistent with generally accepted fiscal, business or medical practices. In this scenario, you are Jennifer. What are your options and what will you do?

Arlene Kessel                                   RE: Discussion - Week 7-6211- Main Post                           Collapse    Performance Reports/Dashboards            Health care executives of an organization adopting a tried-and-true business practice to track key performance indicators (Bannon, 2005). The dashboard is very useful if properly executed and illustrated to provide financial and operational indicators, which managers incorporate clinical data information to measure performance against management’s strategic initiatives and profitability of the hospital’s service lines (p.16).             The National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) was created in 1998 by the American Nurses Association (ANA) to gather information to improve the nursing process that influences the quality of nursing care (National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators, 2014).  This is one of several indicators in our facility to monitor the quality of nursing performance, nursing care that leads to patient and nursing staff satisfaction. NDNQI identifies areas that need to be improved to meet the organization’s vision and mission. Managers and executives utilize the outcome of NDNQI in decision making. One of the biggest factors that drive nursing staff to commit and engage in their workplace is to have job satisfaction that results in employee retention rates and increase healthy work environment (Brunges & Foley-Brinza, 2014). Initiatives that include meal breaks, self-scheduling, redesigning the orientation program for newly hired nurses, offering in-service training, and encouraging nurses to join in shared governance are few factors identified and opportunities for improvement. A supportive manager/leader understanding the balance between work and family life of the staff make them help decide to hire more nurses for the unit to meet the culture change.   Conclusion            Several indicators can be used by the managers to create a dashboard, but to decide and focus which data key an indicator is the most appropriate to established to be more effective to any type of dashboard (Bannon, 2005).  The art of creating dashboard must be clearly read and easily understood by any individual regardless of the educational level, thus, able to illustrate the overall performance of the organization and prompt solution of an issue (Laureate Education, 2012).  References Bannon, E.
