Activity Understanding chronic diseases through different lenses can reveal how multiple factors contribute to health outcomes and treatment approaches. Today, we'll focus on evaluating a chronic disease using the Health Onion framework, which considers varying levels of influence on health. Familiarizing yourself with this framework can be especially beneficial in both professional and personal contexts when addressing health-related challenges. Imagine someone close to you is diagnosed with either cancer, coronary heart disease (CHD), diabetes, or HIV. Reflect on the complex interplay of factors that could influence their health and treatment plan at each layer of the Health Onion. This framework includes individual behaviors, social and community influences, living and working conditions, and broader socio-economic, cultural, and environmental conditions. Consider your own experiences, observations, or insights when addressing these questions: Individual Level: How might personal factors such as behavior, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition influence the progression or management of the disease? Social and Community Level: What role do social networks, community support, and relationships have in providing support or posing challenges? Living and Working Conditions Level: How can access to healthcare, working environments, or living conditions affect disease outcomes? Socio-economic, Cultural, and Environmental Level: How do societal norms, economic factors, and policies contribute to the conditions that affect the health of individuals with the disease? Your tasks for this activity are: Primary Post: Choose one of the diseases mentioned and discuss how each level of the Health Onion is influenced by the disease. Also, propose ways in which interventions at each level could improve disease management and patient outcomes. Response Posts: Engage with at least two peers by offering feedback or adding insights to their analyses. Consider contrasting factors or interventions that they might not have mentioned. Submission Criteria: Primary Post: Clearly address the questions for the chosen disease, providing thoughtful analysis and examples. Response Posts: Provide constructive feedback or extend the discussion by bringing in new perspectives or experiences. This activity is an opportunity to apply theoretical frameworks to real-world situations, fostering a deeper understanding of the multifaceted nature of chronic disease management.

Hybrid work, once a temporary solution, is now a permanent fixture in many organizations, requiring continuous investment in reliable audiovisual tools, robust network infrastructure, and user-friendly collaboration platforms to ensure seamless integration between in-office and remote workers. The expectation of flexibility in work arrangements has become a key factor in employee satisfaction and retention. As the competition for skilled workers intensifies, a CIO must ensure that their organization's technology supports hybrid work efficiently. Failure to do so could lead to losing top talent, particularly as workers seek environments that accommodate their preferences for flexibility. Security concerns also add complexity to managing hybrid work environments. With employees accessing corporate networks from various locations and using personal devices, the risk of cyber threats increases significantly. Future CIOs must implement and continuously update security protocols that protect data and infrastructure across decentralized networks. Additionally, scalability and future-proofing are essential considerations. As hybrid work evolves, CIOs must anticipate and address future needs and challenges, such as emerging technologies and changing employee preferences. This requires a proactive approach to ensure the organization's IT infrastructure can adapt and remain resilient in the face of ongoing changes. Overall, the challenge of managing hybrid work environments encompasses technology management, employee satisfaction, and security, making it a top priority for future CIOs to navigate successfully.

These include but are not limited to:  Battling IT staffing shortages: The shortage of technology talent is rising consistently throughout 2024. Research finds that CIOs are struggling with lower hiring rates and higher vacancy rates. To counteract this, many are turning to external staff and managing services, while investing in internal training to their current workforce to fine tune their skills.  Handling increasingly digital and remote workforces: After COVID-19, CIOs had to quickly pivot their managerial directions to deal with several factors that come with remote working. These issues include security issues posed by employees using their own devices and using unsecure home networks.  Dealing with industry disruption: Industry disruption refers to the significant changes in the technology industry that alters how businesses operate. These changes include cloud computing, artificial intelligence and blockchain technology.  Increasing focus on cybersecurity: With a growing technology market, cybersecurity will always pose a problem.  A major concern has been the Log4j vulnerability. If left unpatched, this could allow cyber attackers to compromise their entire systems.  CIO's in 2024 will face a multitude of challenges that demand strategic responses. Successfully tackling these challenges will be crucial for CIO's to ensure robust and resilient technology environments in the face of rapid and ongoing changes. Duncan, C. (n.d.).

Tatianna Khadoo posted Aug 23, 2024 11:12 AM Taking Charge of Mixed Workplaces: Reason: With the merging of remote and in-office work, hybrid work environments have emerged as the new standard. CIOs are responsible for ensuring that the IT infrastructure facilitates effective communication, teamwork, and productivity in a variety of work environments. This entails managing a range of devices, keeping up strong cybersecurity safeguards, and guaranteeing dependable access to essential tools and systems. Supporting Reference: A study by Gartner indicates that 82% of business executives intend to permit remote work at least occasionally, highlighting the necessity of efficient hybrid work methods.  (Gartner, 2023) Making Sure Skills Align for Success in the Future: Reason: Because technology is advancing so quickly, IT workers need to continuously improve their abilities to stay up to date on the newest techniques and technologies. To guarantee that their teams have the necessary expertise to manage cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and cloud computing, future CIOs must prioritize professional growth and ongoing education. Supporting Reference: The World Economic Forum notes that by 2025, reskilling will be required for 50% of all workers due to the rapid advancement of technology.  (World Economic Forum, 2023) Privacy of Data and Cybersecurity: Reason: Because businesses depend more and more on digital systems and data, it is critical to safeguard data privacy and defend against cyberattacks. It will be imperative for upcoming CIOs to handle intricate security environments, put thorough cybersecurity plans into place, and keep up with ever-changing threats. Supporting Reference: According to the 2023 Cybersecurity Almanac, the cost of cybercrime is expected to increase to $10.5 trillion by 2025, underscoring the need for strong cybersecurity measures.  (Cybersecurity Almanac, 2023) Combining and Overseeing Emerging Technologies: Reason: Although they present new obstacles, emerging technologies like blockchain, IoT, and artificial intelligence also have tremendous benefits. CIOs need to plan how to handle the risks and expenses involved in integrating these technologies into current systems in an efficient manner. Supporting Reference: According to a McKinsey report, companies that successfully use AI might see a 38% rise in profitability by 2030, highlighting the significance of carefully integrating such technology. (McKinsey & Company, 2023) My post What Technology Challenges Will a Future CIO Need to Focus On? One of the key concerns that a future CIO will be required to address is the adoption and protection of a new hybrid working model. Since it continues to be an essential part of many businesses today, the CIO must ensure that the organization’s IT support for multiple locations is solid and elastic. This is not just technical due to the requirement of keeping corporate networks secure and accessible while at the same time providing employees with adequate form and training to get their work done. Explain your reasons for selecting this challenge. Paradigm shifts also bring novelty to security considerations, or known risks present innovations in the hybrid work model. Since employees can use their company resources from distant places and using different devices, the problem of cyber-attacks arises. Thus, CIOs need to prioritize comprehensive protective measures that may refer to high levels of encryption, applications of multi-factor identification, and constant monitoring of the corresponding network activities. Another part of this difficulty is implementing communication and cooperation tools between offsite and onsite workers. The CIO has the responsibility of establishing platforms that are secure, reliable, and easy to use to facilitate collaboration. This challenge was selected because remote work cannot be considered a temporary situation but a permanent change in the business world. By its very nature, IT managers continue to require a great deal of focus and creativity to help organizations properly navigate the new landscape and succeed. In support of this view, Paul Heltzel (2022) describes hybrid work management as a significant concern for the CIOs to manage since it requires constant change to address emerging working styles.

Zhane Proctor posted Aug 20, 2024 2:37 PM Future CIOs will likely face a significant challenge in securing and retaining skilled IT talent. This issue is exacerbated by the increasing demand for specialized skills in fields like data science, digital transformation, and cybersecurity. Rapid technological advancements, coupled with the growing need for IT professionals to drive digital transformation and protect against cyber threats, are contributing factors. The shift towards remote and hybrid work models has created new challenges for IT leaders, including the need to ensure security and collaboration in distributed environments. This requires specialized skills in areas like cloud computing and network security. As organizations continue to adopt these new work models, the demand for IT professionals with these skills will only increase. In conclusion, the talent gap in the IT industry is a pressing challenge that future CIOs will need to address. By proactively investing in talent development, fostering a culture of innovation, and leveraging technology to enhance productivity, CIOs can help their organizations navigate this challenge and ensure their long-term success.

It is remarkable to see how far she has come. I also enjoy walking my dog. It is great to unwind from the day and be able to take in the fresh air and I am able to reflect on what I was capable to do and what I need to accomplish. Sometimes I think about nothing and have that time to just walk off all the stresses life brings. I would like to do more reading in my free time. I always say I am going to do it but I put it off for another time. I would like to do less watching television and surfing the internet. I don’t accomplish anything and when I was watching the video on procrastination I think that this is my way of procrastinating on what I don’t want to do instead I should be focused on tasks that will be more beneficial to the goals I have set for myself. I can take more initiative in scheduling my time and activities that are prearranged if I make a list of things that will help me stay on track and break it down into categories that will help me focus more on what needs to be my priority for the week. One effective method is to use the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working for 25 minutes and then taking a 5-minute break. Additionally, setting clear, small, and achievable goals for each day can help maintain momentum. Lastly, eliminating distractions by creating a dedicated workspace can significantly improve focus and productivity. How much time do I want to spend on this task? Did I give myself enough time or do I need to make changes to my schedule? This is a worthwhile activity. I will use it in the future so I am able to look back and see what I did and where I can make changes so my time management can be more productive. Taisha Simon posted Aug 23, 2024 12:47 PM Hello all, The last few days have been unusual in that there were some occurrences that transpired that usually do not. For instance, I was sick for a few days due to food poisoning which resulted in cancelling engagements. With that being said I will share based on my normal schedule. I work a hybrid remote schedule, I am home for four weeks and then go into the office for one week. My work schedule was recently changed to 7:30am-3:30pm which I enjoy. This schedule allows me to run errands after work, attend any appointments and still be back home at a decent hour to complete some school work. On the weekends, I make it a point to dedicate time to complete school work as well. This usually occurs early in the morning and the remainder or my day is delegated to household errands and responsibilities. Time management is important to me because I have learned that I get anxious when there a pending tasks that I have not completed. I have also learned not to be too rigid with my schedule as things do occur, such an unexpected food poisoning which will have an impact on what I can or cannot successfully do. In the past such interruptions to my plans would have been upsetting to me but I feel I have improved in that area and will be sure to continue improving. Nadia Moorehead posted Aug 23, 2024 12:31 PM What I Like Most: I enjoy the time I am spending learning from my classes at UVI. Although it is extremely challenging, I enjoy learning new things in order to better myself. These classes help me feel fulfilled. What I Want to do More Of: I want to allocate more time to my creative pursuits and social activities with friends and family. They not only provide joy but help keep me motivated and balanced. I also want to continue reading more. I would love to start reading the classics. What I Want to Do Less Of: I'd like to spend time reducing my social media use and spend less time browsing. I can spend hours at night scrolling on social media before bed. Actions to Take: I plan to set clear boundaries for social media and schedule dedicated blocks of time for my hobbies. I will also try to be more intentional about how I allocate my time during the day. For example, setting an hour alarm at 8:00pm to read a new book every week. Worthwhile Activity: I actually did not expect this activity to worth my while. It was actually very enlightening. I plan on using this method on a weekly to a monthly basis to adjust my time management strategies. I may need to update it based on my current goals. Kimberly Gereau posted Aug 23, 2024 11:46 AM What do I like most about my schedule? I appreciate that I break down my tasks throughout the day to avoid feeling overwhelmed. In the morning after my meditation I dedicate time to my chapter readings for different classes. I always review the assignments beforehand which heightens my awareness while reading and allows me to make meaningful notes. During my lunch break at work I aim to complete at least one assignment. Although I don’t always finish it I manage to get a significant portion done. When I get home despite being tired I dedicate at least an hour to school tasks. In total, I spend approximately 3 to 3.5 hours daily on school-related activities. What do I want to do more of with my time? I want to focus my time on planning my long-term goals. I’m usually pretty organized with my short-term goals. What do I want to do less of with my time? I want to spend less time on unproductive activities. After reviewing my screen time analytics I’ve identified areas where I need to cut back. While I’m not heavily into social media I’ve noticed that I can get distracted by scrolling. This is something I’m actively working on changing. What actions can I take in relation to how I spend my time? I can be more purposeful and intentional with my time by planning ahead and staying organized to maximize my time. Avoid distractions and find ways to stay motivated. Every year I create a vision board which gives me a daily visual reminder of my aspirations, goals and dreams. Was this a worthwhile activity? Would you use it in the future? I’m planning to apply for the UVI Creative Leadership for Innovation and Change PhD program next Fall and find enjoyment in researching topics related to my dissertation idea and planning for it. This activity keeps me motivated and focused on my long-term goals. Timothy Rodney posted Aug 22, 2024 1:11 PM The topic for this week is schedule analysis and starts with us creating a time schedule to record our daily activities over a 2 day period. The logging of my daily activities required little to no effort not because I’m not active but because my daily routine is strictly driven by my work schedule. Working 12hr days for 19 days with only 2 days off does not leave much options or time to live. So what do I like about my schedule is the consistency of my time being already predetermined. The preparation needed to maintain this schedule includes the commute, food choices, and the demands of family life so everyday is quite similar. I would like to have more time off just to wind down and to spend time with my family doing normal things. There are significant compromises that are needed to sustain this schedule until late November. I would try to focus more on anything not related to work but the options are limited and this schedule should be completed in due time. Is it an easy schedule when you add school, family, and just day to day needs. The short and long answer is no but this assignment is to highlight your time and what can you improve going forward with your time. So I’m stuck but appreciate the effort of trying but I’ll have to take a hard pass on time management this semester . Cassandra King posted Aug 22, 2024 12:19 PM We are given 168 hours each week to shape our lives and work toward our goals. As a mother of three girls—two teenagers and one tween—a dedicated public high school teacher, a part-time mathematics instructor at our local university (UVI), and a full-time graduate student aspiring to become an administrator, I often feel stretched thin, constantly grappling with the notion that there’s never enough time in the day. Despite these demands, I know that it is my responsibility to manage my workload effectively while still making time for what matters most—quality moments with my family. I closely monitored my daily activities over two days recently, and the results were both eye-opening and thought-provoking. Analyzing how I allocate my time offered valuable insights into my routines and priorities. For instance, I discovered that I spend an average of 4.5 hours daily on my phone. What was particularly alarming was that 2 of those hours were spent on Instagram, despite having set a self-imposed daily limit of 1.5 hours. I realized I’ve been guilty of ignoring the reminders meant to curb my social media usage. Reflecting on this exercise, I recognized that what I value most in my current schedule is the quality time I spend with my family. I also take great satisfaction in balancing three graduate classes, a full-time job, and family time while still carving out some personal “me-time.” However, I see room for improvement, particularly in creating a more consistent exercise routine. Additionally, I plan to be more disciplined in adhering to the 1.5-hour daily limit I’ve set for Instagram. This exercise was valuable because it revealed that I have more time in my schedule than I initially thought. I need to make a few adjustments, such as incorporating a time management tool like Google Calendar to block out specific times for tasks. Ultimately, this reflection isn’t just about managing time—it’s about intentionally aligning my life with my goals and values. Michael Bell posted Week 2 Discussion: Schedule Analysis By completing the time log for two days of my life, I could glimpse how I spend my time for the first time. What I have particularly liked about my working schedule is that I have had the opportunity to set and follow a schedule tuned adequately to what I do – work and study as much as I am aware that I have achieved to get particular segmenting of my time to my professional duties at the Department of Finance and my academic activities. This structure not only helps me stay more focused and the work more structured, but it also inspires me to always be on track to ensure I always accomplish my goals. However, as I spent time with the time log, I discovered some general areas I prefer to spend more time on. For example, I sometimes wish to spend more time doing things I genuinely love and could consider personal development: reading, writing poems and stories, and working on my media projects, as per Schippers et al. (2020). All these activities are not only self-fulfilling but also part of my long-term career plans. At the same time, I realized that I spend more time than I would like on unproductive activities and distractions; these include partaking in social media and other unproductive interferences. Recognizing this, I see a clear path for improvement that could enable me to engage in tasks related to my goals and objectives in life and career. Tatianna Khadoo posted What I like most about my schedule during my schedule analysis week was realizing how much time I squander and how much time I must complete tasks rather than scrambling and finishing them at the last minute. It taught me that time lost can be made up for, but it also taught me that I wasted a lot of time doing nothing during my high school and undergraduate years in college. When there were so many more things I could have done to make sure I was ready for old age. I’d like to devote more time to volunteering in the community and being more involved and active in my sorority. This will not only help me better myself, but it will also help me recognize who I really am. It will enable me to assist more people in need and the public with community service. Instead of stressing out, I would like to be able to finish tasks with an open mind and not worry about whether they were completed correctly. My goal is to be more efficient with my time so that I can complete crucial tasks. avoid concentrating on unimportant stuff. I want to cut down on the amount of time I spend putting things off. Additionally, practice saying no, especially when it comes to time management. I could, for example, practice saying no to people, especially when I'm busy and have deadlines to meet. prioritizing myself, taking care of my problems, and then helping others. Instead of putting myself last and them first. Set aside time for myself once a week so that I may be sufficiently organized and productive. Yes, this was a terrific activity, and it was interesting to understand that I need to change certain poor behaviors to make my life much easier. If things get too hectic and I lose control of everything, I will use it soon.

Create a submission in which you develop a PICO(T) question for the diagnosis you worked with in the first two assessments and evaluate the evidence you locate, which could help to answer the question.  After reviewing the materials you created to research a specific diagnosis in the first two assessments, apply the PICO(T) process to develop a research question and research it. Your initial goal is to define the population, intervention, comparison, and outcome. In some cases, a time frame is relevant and you should include that as well, when writing a question you can research related to your issue of interest. After you define your question, research it, and organize your initial findings, select the two sources of evidence that seem the most relevant to your question and analyze them in more depth. Specifically, interpret each source's specific findings and best practices related to your chosen diagnosis, and explain how the evidence would help you plan and make decisions related to your question. If you need some structure to organize your initial thoughts and research, the PICOT Question and Research Template document (accessible from the "Create PICO(T) Questions" page in the Capella library's Evidence Based Practice guide) might be helpful. In your submission, make sure you address the following grading criteria: Define a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach.
