    **_&_ how process, what**

    Darling et al. (2021) conducted a study between 2001 and 2018 in the United States, France, Spain, and the Netherlands to examine the efficiency of qualified interventions in preterm birth, small for gestational age, low birth weight, neonatal death, cesarean deliveries, maternal care satisfaction, and coast effectiveness programs. A systematic review was used to collect data from studies of mostly non-Caucasian women from low-income population ranging from 12 to 46 years of age and being between 20 to 32 weeks' gestation. Interventional programs were implemented into three categories: group prenatal care, augmented prenatal care, or a combination of both group and augmented prenatal care (Darling et al. 2021). The researchers found that certain interventions, such as prenatal care and augmented care, or a combination of both, may decrease adverse outcomes in small-for-gestational-age and preterm birth, and could aid in increasing maternal care satisfaction. Interventions that worked on enhancing coordination of care were found to result in providing more effective cost savings. The researchers also found disparities in the quality of access to care in the vulnerable population. There was insufficient evidence of suitable quality to confirm that the interventions were successful at enhancing clinical outcomes in prenatal care for at risk populations (Darling et al. 2021).

    Racial Disparities in Healthcare Among Pregnant Women in the United States

    Literature Review

    Review of Literature

    Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Factors

    Darling et al. (2021) conducted a study between 2001 and 2018 to examine the efficiency

    of qualified interventions in preterm birth, small for gestational age, low birth weight, neonatal

    death, cesarean deliveries, maternal care satisfaction, and coast effectiveness programs. A

    systematic review was used to collect data from the United States, France, Spain, and the

    Netherlands. The studies consisted of mostly non- Caucasian women from low-income

    population ranging from 12 to 46 years of age and being between 20 to 32 weeks' gestation.

    Interventional programs were implemented into three categories: group prenatal care, augmented

    prenatal care, or a combination of both group and augmented prenatal care (Darling et al., 2021).

    The researchers found that certain interventions, such as prenatal care and augmented care, or a

    combination of both, may decrease adverse outcomes in small-for-gestational-age and preterm

    birth, and could aid in increasing maternal care satisfaction. Interventions that worked on

    enhancing coordination of care were found to result in providing more effective cost savings.

    The researchers also found disparities in the quality of access to care in the vulnerable

    population. There was insufficient evidence of suitable quality to confirm that the interventions

    were successful at enhancing clinical outcomes in prenatal care for at risk populations (Darling et

    al., 2021).

    Similar observations were made in a study conducted by Nichols and Cohen (2020),

    between 2006 and 2018 to examine the methods used to improve the results of maternal

    mortality in California. The study was conducted using a scoping review to evaluate research on

    3

    women and maternal health in the United States. The researchers used information from the US

    Maternal Fetal Medicine Network to measure the percentage of studies where pregnant women,

    women, and children were the main focus. The researchers also reviewed documentation on

    healthcare policies and practices from California’s public health department, healthcare

    foundation, and Maternal Quality Care Collaborative. Nichols and Cohen (2020) found that

    although the health of fetus and children could be adversely affected by the health of the mother,

    the majority of maternal programs in the United States places emphasis on the child. The

    researchers also found four areas of concern in women health experiences, both in pre and

    postnatal care. The problem areas entailed inadequate investment in women's health, inefficient

    quality of care and avoidable caesarean delivers, expanding disparities in minority women and

    women living in rural areas, and contradictory collection and distribution of data (Nichols &

    Cohen, 2020).

    Approaches to Improving Pregnancy Outcomes

    In contrast to the preceding studies, Zhang et al. (2013) conducted a study between 2005

    and 2007 to calculate the excessive rate of unfavorable outcomes in pregnancy within racial and

    ethnic groups. The study also aimed to measure the possibility of Medicaid savings that are

    linked to paid maternal care claims resulting from the inequalities that contribute to unfavorable

    maternal outcomes. A cross-sectional study using Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) data was

    used to gather pregnancy outcome information from inpatient hospitals from 14 states (Florida,

    Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Maryland,

    Missouri, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia, and Texas). The study consisted of a little over 2

    million patients who were insured with Medicaid and had a delivery code of maternal delivery

    stay. Zhang et al. (2013) found that, with the exception of gestational diabetes, African American

    4

    women showed the worst outcomes out of all unfavorable pregnancy outcomes. These disparities

    are postulated as being multi-factorial, having causes stemming from complicated experiences

    with racism, poverty, and complex healthcare interactions. It was also found that women covered

    under Medicaid health insurance were more likely to have consistency in care from prenatal care

    through delivery compared to their counterparts. However, due to participation in Medicaid

    programs being influenced by reimbursement rates, some providers may choose to stop

    accepting Medicaid patients because of reimbursement delays and low payment rates, which

    could contribute to negative birth outcomes (Zhang et al., 2013).

    Literature Review

    Review of Literature

    Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Factors

    Darling et al. (2021) conducted a study between 2001 and 2018 to examine the efficiency

    of qualified interventions in preterm birth, small for gestational age, low birth weight, neonatal

    death, cesarean deliveries, maternal care satisfaction, and coast effectiveness programs. A

    systematic review was used to collect data from the United States, France, Spain, and the

    Netherlands. The studies consisted of mostly non- Caucasian women from low-income

    population ranging from 12 to 46 years of age and being between 20 to 32 weeks' gestation.

    Interventional programs were implemented into three categories: group prenatal care, augmented

    prenatal care, or a combination of both group and augmented prenatal care (Darling et al., 2021).

    The researchers found that certain interventions, such as prenatal care and augmented care, or a

    combination of both, may decrease adverse outcomes in small-for-gestational-age and preterm

    birth, and could aid in increasing maternal care satisfaction. Interventions that worked on

    enhancing coordination of care were found to result in providing more effective cost savings.

    The researchers also found disparities in the quality of access to care in the vulnerable

    population. There was insufficient evidence of suitable quality to confirm that the interventions

    were successful at enhancing clinical outcomes in prenatal care for at risk populations (Darling et

    al., 2021).

    Similar observations were made in a study conducted by Nichols and Cohen (2020),

    between 2006 and 2018 to examine the methods used to improve the results of maternal

    mortality in California. The study was conducted using a scoping review to evaluate research on

    3

    women and maternal health in the United States. The researchers used information from the US

    Maternal Fetal Medicine Network to measure the percentage of studies where pregnant women,

    women, and children were the main focus. The researchers also reviewed documentation on

    healthcare policies and practices from California’s public health department, healthcare

    foundation, and Maternal Quality Care Collaborative. Nichols and Cohen (2020) found that

    although the health of fetus and children could be adversely affected by the health of the mother,

    the majority of maternal programs in the United States places emphasis on the child. The

    researchers also found four areas of concern in women health experiences, both in pre and

    postnatal care. The problem areas entailed inadequate investment in women's health, inefficient

    quality of care and avoidable caesarean delivers, expanding disparities in minority women and

    women living in rural areas, and contradictory collection and distribution of data (Nichols &

    Cohen, 2020).

    Approaches to Improving Pregnancy Outcomes

    In contrast to the preceding studies, Zhang et al. (2013) conducted a study between 2005

    and 2007 to calculate the excessive rate of unfavorable outcomes in pregnancy within racial and

    ethnic groups. The study also aimed to measure the possibility of Medicaid savings that are

    linked to paid maternal care claims resulting from the inequalities that contribute to unfavorable

    maternal outcomes. A cross-sectional study using Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) data was

    used to gather pregnancy outcome information from inpatient hospitals from 14 states (Florida,

    Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Maryland,

    Missouri, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia, and Texas). The study consisted of a little over 2

    million patients who were insured with Medicaid and had a delivery code of maternal delivery

    stay. Zhang et al. (2013) found that, with the exception of gestational diabetes, African American

    4

    women showed the worst outcomes out of all unfavorable pregnancy outcomes. These disparities

    are postulated as being multi-factorial, having causes stemming from complicated experiences

    with racism, poverty, and complex healthcare interactions. It was also found that women covered

    under Medicaid health insurance were more likely to have consistency in care from prenatal care

    through delivery compared to their counterparts. However, due to participation in Medicaid

    programs being influenced by reimbursement rates, some providers may choose to stop

    accepting Medicaid patients because of reimbursement delays and low payment rates, which

    could contribute to negative birth outcomes (Zhang et al., 2013).

    Assignment Prompt & Instructions

    **Before you start:**

    Attention should be focused when writing policies to make sure that they are effective and do not conflict.  In order to make sure that your policies are effective, keep in mind the following secure design principles:

    **Mandatory Reading:**

    Read [The Security Principles of Saltzer and Schroeder](https://shostack.org/blog/the-security-principles-of-saltzer-and-schroeder) (link) blog for a greater understanding.

    ###### **Project Overview**

    This project includes the following tasks:

    1. Review and prioritize scenario audit observations
    2. Develop an information security policy and related procedure
    3. Develop an implementation and dissemination plan

    ###### Objective: Developing Information Security Policies

    A security policy is the document developed by an organization that formally states how it plans to protect its information and information systems. Organizations should treat a security policy as a “living document.” This means that the organization continuously reviews and updates the document as technology and employee requirements change.

    Organizations use several documents to support its policy infrastructure. In this project, you will be developing the following documents:

    – An Information Security Policy
    – A procedure to support the policy

    An effective security policy references the standards and guidelines that exist within an organization. An information security policy contains high-level statements with the intent of protecting information and assets. It is the responsibility of senior management to develop security policies.

    **Standards** are mandatory controls that enforce and support the information security policy. Standards are a collection of properties or rules that an organization formally adopts and recognizes. There are many standards organizations in the information technology field including IEEE, EIA/TIA, NIST and ISO.

    **Guidelines** are recommended, non-mandatory controls that support standards and provide a foundation for the development of best practices.

    **Procedures** are the systematic instructions used by employees within the organization that explain how to implement the controls defined in the policies, standards, and guidelines.

    For example, a password policy states the standard for creating strong passwords and protecting passwords. A password construction guideline defines how to create a strong password and provides best practices recommendations. The password procedure provides the instructions on how to implement the strong password requirement. Organizations do not update policies as frequently as they update procedures within the information security policy framework.

    ###### **Project Scenario**

    ACME Healthcare is a healthcare company that runs over 25 medical facilities including patient care, diagnostics, outpatient care and emergency care. The organization has experienced several data breaches over the last five years. These data breaches have cost the organization financially and damaged its reputation.

    The executive leadership team recently hired a new Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). The new CISO has brought in one of the top cybersecurity penetration teams to perform a full security audit on the entire organization. This independent contractor conducted the audit, and found the following vulnerabilities:

    01. Several accounts were identified for employees that are no longer employed by ACME.
    02. Several user accounts allowed unauthorized and escalated privileges and accessed systems and information without formal authorization.
    03. Several devices and systems allowed unsecure remote access.

    ## **Instructions**

    Create an authentic learning experience.

    – Develop a real-life scenario for your students to do so they can relate this to their employment.

    Align learning activities to the stated learning objectives.

    – Learning activities are elements of a course that learners will complete that support the objectives of the unit and the unit assessments. Learning activities can take the form of discussion questions, papers, or detailed hands-on tasks, among other things.

    Choose resources that support the successful completion of learning activities.

    – Your learning resources are the tools you will need as an instructor to facilitate learning, as well as things your students will need to successfully complete the learning activities. Common instructor resources include a computer, audio-visual equipment, and a training environment. Common learner resources include textbooks, articles, computer hardware, and software.
    – Your learning activities should map directly to the stated learning objectives. They should also align with the adult learning principles you have learned about in the previous units as much as possible. In your final paper that must accompany the final version of your course, you will need to provide an analysis of the activities you have selected, and that analysis should explain how your chosen learning activities are supported by learning theory and adult learning principles.

    Provide instructions for the facilitation and completion of learning activities.

    – The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate that you can select appropriate activities for your course. So, for the purposes of this deliverable, describe the activity. You need to write all the instructions that might go along with each activity.
