High-level Overview Presentation
Scenario
Look back at the three previous assignments, Network Access Control, the Cost of
Inadequate Controls, and Access Control Strategy Approach. Reflect on the work that
you and your IT Security team did for LOTR. In these first three assignments, upper
management and the Board of Directors for LOTR asked you to review and repair
various access control issues. They have now asked that you create a presentation that
will review all the changes that you have implemented to improve access control
security. For this final presentation, they have asked for a high-level overview of the
procedures you implemented to improve Network Access Control and the newly
mapped access controls. They also want you to create a security checklist that can be
used to conduct annual access control audits. Finally, they have asked you to make
recommendations for three websites that include security RSS feeds to keep the
company abreast of possible future security issues and exploits.

find and include 3–5 quality references, one being your course textbook.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
Analyze the healthcare administrator's role in fiscal planning and management.
One of the hot topics in many healthcare organizations today is revenue cycle management. We typically do not get paid when services are rendered nor do we get the full cost of providing that care. As a result we incur costs for facilities, supplies, and labor that have to be covered. The ultimate goal of revenue cycle management is to convert services into the correct amount of cash reimbursement. This can be a bit difficult for medical practices. One reason is that providers often forget it is a business. Getting providers more involved in this process is the focus of this week's discussion question.
https://hwacer.com/Tutorial/hsa-525-week-10-discussion-board/
Discuss why it is important for the practice physicians to be involved in revenue cycle management. What role do you see them having in this process? What message does it send to staff? Do you think it will compromise patient care? What would say to a provider who shows some resistance to being a part of the process?

“....It seems to me that God, with infinite wisdom and skill, is training the Anglo-Saxon race for an hour sure to come in the world’s future. Heretofore there has always been in the history of the world a comparatively unoccupied land westward, into which the crowded countries of the East have poured their surplus populations. But the widening waves of migration, which millenniums ago rolled east and west from the valley of the Euphrates, meet to-day on our Pacific coast. There are no more new worlds… The time is coming when the pressure of population on the means of subsistence will be felt here as it is now felt in Europe and Asia. Then will the world enter upon a new stage of its history—the final competition of races, for which the Anglo-Saxon is being schooled. Long before the thousand millions are here, the might centrifugal tendency, inherent in this stock and strengthened in the United States, will assert itself. Then this race of unequaled energy, with all the majesty of numbers and the might of wealth behind it—the representative, let us hope, of the largest liberty, the purest Christianity, the highest civilization—having developed peculiarly aggressive traits calculated to impress its institutions upon mankind, will spread itself over the earth.”

Read the excerpt from a memoir written by Allan Pinkerton about the Great Railway Strike of 1877.
"For this reason the strike of '77 was a complete failure. Although in many instances riotous excesses were not committed, the attempt of which they were all guilty—to prevent the movement of trains—made their strike as truly a riotous proceeding as the pillage, arson, and murder of Pittsburgh could have made it. By this act the strikers placed themselves in an attitude of defiance to all law and to society, and as surely arrayed law, order, and society against them. Had they won, it would have been a triumph of anarchy; and anarchy is a something impossible to exist. No community can exist save under law and order; and no riotous strike is possible of success short of revolution; while revolution itself is a failure, unless it brings to a people a still purer law and a more secure order."
What group of people would most likely agree with Allan Pinkerton's opinion?
