Week 4 – Assignment

Thesis Statement for the Integrative Literature Review

In this assignment, you will create the thesis statement for your Final Assignment. The thesis is the statement of your perspectives on the literature. It should also include the rationale and relevant empirical and theoretical background supporting your perspectives. The primary objective of this assignment is to outline specific areas of inquiry you intend to answer in the course of the Integrative Literature Review. Although they may change during the course of the review, articulating these areas of inquiry early will help provide focus and direction for your research.

Begin by introducing the areas of inquiry to be included in your Integrative Literature Review. Explain your perspective on the literature and include how you arrived at this viewpoint, how the literature you have chosen to include supports this viewpoint, and why this perspective is relevant to the field of psychology.

Based on your introduction, briefly discuss the literature you have chosen by integrating concepts developed from your four different content domains. Be sure to utilize at least one peer-reviewed source per domain. Construct clear and concise arguments using evidence-based psychological concepts and theories to support your perspectives regarding the literature.

To conclude your assignment, identify any overarching implications shown in the studies and describe how these influenced your perspectives on the literature.

Emerging Threats and Counter measures

Given the vast amount of known threat indicators and the level of network activity today, automation has become a necessity. It’s often difficult and time consuming for human analysts to efficiently manage large amounts of granular data and a wide range of cognitive biases. Therefore, manual threat correlation is often too slow to keep up with the amount of data generated, results include a high number of false negatives and positives, and outputs are not always reproducible.

However, performing manual threat correlation processes will remain crucial. The human brain’s ability to leverage well-formed biases and perform higher-order reasoning is essential for assessing the validity and value being provided by whatever solutions your organization uses as well as building your cyber threat management team’s knowledge base. Thus, even when automated methods are employed, the final tier of analysis typically uses these human abilities for sense-making before any actions are taken.

 

Conduct your own research and discuss with the group the following:

  • Field Techniques of Comparison?
  • Rules for Based Matching?
  • What is Fuzzy Matching?

Bonus point

How threat actors can evade detection via threat correlation ?

Performance Appraisal

Despite costs associated with performance appraisal, it is one way health care organizations can ensure that only competent, qualified personnel care for patients. Some management experts have recommended that performance appraisals be eliminated from the work setting.

DIRECTIONS:

Do you agree with these experts? Why or why not? Be specific.

Remember this is scholarly writing and not a venue for your personal opinion. Support your assertions with evidence from recent, scholarly, peer-reviewed journals (preferably nursing journals). (To reiterate, “recent” is less than five years old.) Remember, your textbook is not a journal.

This assignment should be submitted in a word document in APA format including title page, headers, citations in text, and reference page. THE BODY OF THE PAPER SHOULD BE 2 TO 3 PAGES, excluding the title page and reference list.

The Complexities of E-Therapy

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please watch the Virtual Clinic (Links to an external site.) video and review the Guidelines for the Practice of Telepsychology (2013). Be sure to also read Baker and Bufka (2011), “Preparing for the Telehealth World: Navigating Legal, Regulatory, Reimbursement, and Ethical Issues in an Electronic Age,” Harris and Younggren (2011), “Risk Management in the Digital World,” Luxton et al. (2014), “Best Practices for Remote Psychological Assessment Via Telehealth Technologies,” and Gros et al. (2013), “Delivery of Evidence-Based Psychotherapy via Video Telehealth” articles.

In your initial post, provide an evaluation of the efficacy of using telehealth with mild, moderate, and severe mental health disorders. As part of your evaluation, assess the integration of evidence-based practices into the telehealth trend in psychotherapy. Consider the population, specialty, and treatment preferences you identified in the Week One Creating a Specialist Website interactive assignment, and assess the appropriateness of using telephone, text-based, virtual clinics, and/or video telehealth given your client focus, specialty, and treatment preference(s). Analyze ethical and professional issues you might encounter and explain the risks and benefits of using these delivery methods with your identified treatment.

Scenario:

MANAGING YOUR REPUTATION

Dr. Smith is a family physician working in a small town with a population of about 5,000 and frequently

refers her patients to a larger urban center. She has developed good working relationships with many of

the specialists.

This week, she received a copy of a consultation letter from one specialist to another that was very critical

of the care she had provided to the patient. Although she was upset by the criticism, she felt that the

physician did not have the full history, so she chose to disregard it.

Later that day, the patient in question came for an appointment. The patient was very angry and reported

that the specialist said that her incompetence had delayed the diagnosis and worsened her prognosis

significantly. Dr. Smith was taken aback and had to spend a significant amount of time with the patient to

discuss the issue. In the end, she felt that they could continue to work together; however, she was very

upset with the specialist’s comments and wondered what to do?

She notes that the Code of Ethics says, Avoid impugning the reputation of colleagues for personal

motives; however, report to the appropriate authority any unprofessional conduct by colleagues. She

comes to you to ask, “What she should do?”
