discuss a dermatologic disorder and its treatment modalities. (Impetigo) Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Healthcare information and system security is a major consideration for small and large healthcare organizations. Complete the following for this assignment:

• Conduct research to find 1 security breach in a healthcare organization that has occurred in the past 5 years.
• Research the breach, and then explain what could have been done to avoid or mitigate the impact of the security breach.
• Conduct additional research to understand the penalties that healthcare organizations may be subject to if they fail to secure healthcare data.
• Based on your research of the incident and the potential penalties, create a memo to a senior leader within a healthcare organization explaining why funding is justified to fund security-focused healthcare information technology projects.

Note: Use APA style 7th edition to cite at least 2 scholarly sources from the last 5 years.  All sources on the Reference Page are required to have a URL or DOI if you do not physically possess the journal or book.

 The history of the discovery of the first antipsychotic medication is very interesting and marked a milestone in the history of medicine. In the 1950s, a patient was being treated surgically and was given chlorpromazine as a tranquilizer to induce anesthesia. The patient was showing symptoms of psychosis, with a history of maintaining positive symptoms, however, after coming out of anesthesia, it was noted that the individual remained free of hallucinations and delusions for several days. This is how the first-generation of antipsychotics were born. Four years later, Clozapine emerged with great benefits due to its few side effects and much less action on dopamine receptors. (Saloni Dattani & Roser, 2024)

But as more generations of antipsychotic medications emerged to treat disorders as complex as schizophrenia, we also had to deal and understand all the adverse side effects that accompany these medications. Some of these effects can be life-threatening. (9 Side Effects of Antipsychotic Medications, n.d.)

To begin, we must mention one of the most frightening side effects of antipsychotics, the neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). It is a complex number of symptoms, such as motor, autonomic, shift in cognitive function, and fever.  Fever may be variable, low-grade or present as true hyperpyrexia.  NMS can lead to severe complications, such as muscle rupture, severe acute kidney failure and death. That’s why it’s important for the practitioner to be familiar with this type of side effect, know how to recognize it and how to intervene immediately. First, it is imperative to discontinue the medication that caused the side effect. The most often offending drugs are the dopamine receptor interrupters as haloperidol, fluphenazine, chlorpromazine, however, it may also happen with other antipsychotics as risperidone, olanzapine and clozapine. The provider should know that it is a true emergency, which sometimes requires cardiovascular and respiratory support.  It is crucial to curve the symptoms as soon as possible. Medications of choice to treat this horrific side effect are dantrolene or bromocriptine. The patient and authorized family should be educated by the provider about these possible side effects, whenever and wherever treatment with these medications begins. (Berman, 2021)

Other possible life threating side effect can be tardive dyskinesia (TD). It is a condition of repeated involuntary movements that can become irreversible and disabling for the individual with long-term use of antipsychotic medications. The most related medications to this disorders are older antipsychotics previously mentioned. It is important for the health care provider to know how to immediately recognize TD and treat it promptly. In most cases, the medication causing the side effect must be discontinued.

Now that you have suggested an agile systems development life cycle (SDLC) and explored the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), you need to ensure that your processes support the security of patient data. Complete the following:

• Conduct research to identify a healthcare data security plan that could be used for a major healthcare organization.
  • The plan should include the securing of systems and data.
  • The plan should account for interoperability challenges and evaluating all vendor systems.
• Ensure that you are including mitigation strategies to deal with recovery after a breach of security violation has occurred.
• Be sure to consider information systems as well as physical hardware.
