During the course, you have done a thorough analysis of a company and the health care subsector in which the company operates now is the time to look at all your findings and insights and frame the situation of the company in terms of cost, access, and quality. Specifically:

  1. Are there any major cost-containment policies or practices from private insurers or the government that affect your company? Are there any internal/ competitive forces that are trying to do the same?
  2. How does your company (and industry) is assessed in terms of its ability to offer access to all populations?
  3. What kind of quality assessment and assurance is done? Are there any positive or negative stories about the quality of health care services of the organization?

1. Interoperability can only be achieved when provider organizations do the work necessary to participate. Do provider organizations have the necessary incentives to do that work?

2. Private health information exchanges seem to be growing at a faster pace than public health information exchanges. Public exchanges should arguably offer more value to patients and lower costs to provider organizations. Why the discrepancy?

3. The INPC, originated as a research project, was initially funded by grants and one of the ongoing value propositions is research use of the data. Is research necessarily critical to success of a health information exchange?

4. Establishing and operating a health information exchange requires a variety of investments including computing and network infrastructure, software systems of various types, legal and operational costs. Would you agree that data capture and normalization is the largest investment required?

5. Computing infrastructure, networking technology, software and clinical information standards will continue to evolve rapidly and investments in the technology will depreciate relatively rapidly. What are the core assets of an HIE if not these things?

WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT

Week 1: NIH Protecting Human Research Participants Reflection

Protecting human research participants is of utmost importance. Even though your

change project will not be implemented in the field, and you will not be engaging with

human subjects in this context, it is still critical that all healthcare professionals have a

solid foundation in patient rights and protections within the realm of research.

It is essential that all healthcare professionals, whether or not they are currently

involved in research studies, remain aware of regulatory policies and updates such as

the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human SubjectsLinks to an external site.

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/01/19/2017-01058/federal-policy-for-

the-protection-of-human-subjects, or Common Rule, that will take effect January 2019.

Review the Frequently Asked Questions on Requirements for Education at the National

Institutes of Health (NIH) link here: https://humansubjects.nih.gov/requirement-

educationLinks to an external site.

Download the PDF documents listed below. Read the detailed document by the NIH

and then take the self-check quiz to check your understanding before completing this

week’s assignment.

Protecting Human Research Participants

NIH Office of Extramural Research

Introduction

Research with human subjects can occasionally result in a dilemma for investigators. When the

goals of the research are designed to make major contributions to a field, such as improving the

understanding of a disease process or determining the efficacy of an intervention, investigators

may perceive the outcomes of their studies to be more important than providing protections

for individual participants in the research.
Although it is understandable to focus on goals, our society values the rights and welfare of

individuals. It is not considered ethical behavior to use individuals solely as means to an end.
The importance of demonstrating respect for research participants is reflected in the principles

used to define ethical research and the regulations, policies, and guidance that describe the

implementation of those principles.
Who?

This course is intended for use by individuals involved in the design and/or conduct of National
Institutes of Health (NIH) funded human subjects research.
What?

This course is designed to prepare investigators involved in the design and/or conduct of

research involving human subjects to understand their obligations to protect the rights and

welfare of subjects in research. The course material presents basic concepts, principles, and

issues related to the protection of research participants.
Why?

As a part of NIH's commitment to the protection of human subjects and its response to Federal
mandates for increased emphasis on protection for human subjects in research, the NIH Office

of Extramural Research released a policy on Required Education in the Protection of Human

Research Participants in June 2000. This course is specifically designed for extramural
investigators and is one (of many) possibilities for meeting the policy requirement.
Because this course is intended to allow investigators to fulfill the Required Education in the

Protection of Human Research Subjects, it assumes that the investigators' research will be

funded by NIH and is therefore subject to all U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

(HHS) regulatory and NIH policy requirements.

Assignment

This week, reflect on what you learned from the NIH materials about protecting the

rights of human research participants.

Discuss at least two of the following in your paper:

• Describe the circumstances that influenced the need for a policy to protect

human research subjects. Give examples of specific ways human research

subjects can be harmed by researchers.

• Identify three vulnerable populations and the special restrictions associated with

human research among these groups. Evaluate the requirements and

restrictions. Do you think they are adequate? Why or why not?

• The Belmont Report summarizes the ethical principles and guidelines for

research involving human subjects. Three core principles are identified: respect

for persons, beneficence, and justice. Even though these principles are

considered equal, prioritize them in order of importance to you. Explain your decisions.

• Although you are not implementing a change project at this time, and you may

not be directly involved in research as part of your professional responsibilities,

explain the reasons why it is important for you to know about these rights and

protections.

Your reflective paper should be two pages and written in current APA Style. Refer to the

rubric for more information.
