The management for nurses’ compliance initiative is a sure and effective way of ensuring protection of patient information. Similar to your experience, nurses at my facility are also mandated to uphold security and privacy of patient information. In order to ensure this, audits are used frequently. As Schneeweiss, (2014) notes, it is essential to be knowledgeable of the existing rules governing patient information. Implementation of policies and regulations at the facility level can only be effectual once such knowledge is acquired. The mobile Iron app used by your organization to protect access to patient information is however a novel ...

Under these conditions, countries need an effective anti-terrorist policy and methods as a means of ensuring their own survival, public support, and international stability. Accordingly, new methods to combat terrorism began to be emerged and be developed, namely the use of new technologies such as satellites, information technology, surveillance, weaponry, Bio-metrics, finance, drones etc.

Satellites

It is worth noting a significant contribution of satellite systems to the resolution of the intelligence, communication, navigation and meteorological problems. Cosmic intelligence systems were used in order to provide US troops with timely and reliable data on the grouping of the Islamic movement of ...

While it is interesting to think that biometrics can be used for everything, the reality is less promising. Biometrics will continue to be adopted in both the logical and physical access worlds. The biometrics used for logical cases will still need to be low in cost, high in user acceptance and very easy to use. The biometric device will also need to have a small footprint on the desktop. This will limit these logical cases biometric devices to finger, hand face, eye and voice types (Jain et al. 55). For physical entrance, the selection of biometrics will depend on ...

The use of biometric evidence in executing criminal justice has gained reputation throughout the world as a result of rapid advancement in technology. In essence, biometric recognition entails the use of biometric equipment to recognize individuals through their biological characteristics (Sanders et al., 2010). Bio information of a person is captured and analyzed for use in identification. Some examples of bio information include fingerprint and signatures. A biometric evidence is the most popular and convincing method of confirming the identity of a person (Reedman, 2015). The criminal justice system uses different biometric characteristics to identify criminals depending on the ...

Abstract

Biometric access control systems employ the use of biometrics in the identification of the user before granting access to an otherwise restricted area. The technology involves the automated mechanisms of recognizing or verifying the identity of a living organism using a behavioral or a physiological attribute. It presents various features and advantages that place it above the other access control systems. Biometric access control not only provides access control features, but it also provides user management features. The system used different behavioral and physical attributes as biometric characteristics for identification and verification. Testing of individual components of the system ...

Communication and transportation have largely evolved in the recent years to attain an unprecedented growth. The technological sector today has changed and grown into a labyrinth of information. Fingertip communication and endless links over technological media results in the accumulation of huge amounts of data. Electronic association, as one would call it, entails the endless exchange of messages and information. Privacy can be described as the capacity to negotiate social interaction through the ability to control personal information. Privacy of an individual is, however, dependent on a number of aspects. Policies, technology, and laws all play a role in ...
