Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that advances in computer technology and the development of the Internet have enabled the healthcare community to maintain medical records electronically, which has been beneficial for patients and healthcare providers alike. The writer points out that there is also a downside to this system of electronic record keeping, for it also renders the private medical records of patients vulnerable to unauthorized access. The writer notes that the healthcare community has a professional and ethical responsibility to formulate and implement appropriate policies to deal with such risks. The writer discusses that the emergence of electronic medical records systems presents security challenges, for such records are far more vulnerable to unauthorized access by third parties than paper records kept in a doctor's office, a nursing station, or a clinic. The writer maintains that protecting the privacy of patients is essential, not only because of the vital importance of ethical medical treatment, but because of emerging confidentiality issues related to electronic medical records.

From the Paper
"The literature review clarifies that the healthcare community has a professional and ethical responsibility to formulate and implement appropriate policies to deal with the risks to confidentiality imposed by electronic medical record keeping. It is evident that the development and expansion of electronic medical records systems presents a wide range of security, ethics, and medical research interest challenges.
"The fundamental issue underlying all other issues is the fact that electronic medical records are far more vulnerable to unauthorized access by third parties than paper medical records were. Protecting the privacy of patients has always been essential because of the vital importance of providing ethical and confidential medical treatment, but it has also been essential to conduct medical research, which requires access to healthcare data on a general and individual patient basis. Consequently, everyone involved in this debate and affected by it must understand the implications of restricting electronic access to medical records."

From the Paper
"The medical record also serves as a basis for planning patient care, documenting communication between the health care provider and any other health professional contributing to the patient's care, assisting in protecting the legal interest of the patient and the health care providers responsible for the patient's care, and documenting the care and services provided to the patient. In addition, the medical record may serve as a document to educate medical students/resident physicians, to provide data for internal hospital auditing and quality assurance, and to provide data for medical research. Personal health records combine many of the above features with portability, thus allowing a patient to share medical records across providers and health care systems(Wikipedia, 2006)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the story of Arista and its founders appear to embody the ideals of the American paradigm in that founder Clive Davis turned personal misfortune into one of the most prosperous record labels available today. The writer notes that that Arista Records was founded by Clive Davis in 1974, who, through innovation and an adherence to his personal values in the face of criticism, built the label of Arista to sky-rocketing success. Further, the writer maintains that it is precisely this success that helped the company survive in spite of disasters such as the Milli Vanilli scandal. The writer concludes that in general, it appears that Arista Records enjoys a very prominent position in the music industry, and that the company is likely to continue in its success for many years into the future.
From the Paper
"Issues such as the above-mentioned Milli Vanilli scandal and Reid's termination for poor financial management tend to be a detriment for the company's public image. Internal decision-making appears to require attention, as ill-advised decisions such as those mentioned above tend to result in significantly greater risks than are strictly necessary. In the company's future, therefore, it could be recommended that BMG and Arista work more closely in decisions made for the label itself. Like the Milli Vanilli scandal, however, it appears that Arista possesses a sufficient amount of internal strength to mitigate possible weaknesses in its decision-making process. Indeed, the continued support and revenue from the label's association with names such as Whitney Houston and Jermaine Dupri more than mitigates any damage from such elements."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that a "SWOT" analysis is usually performed when managers wish to determine their company's current position in the market. The writer notes that the acronym refers to the four areas of "strengths", "weaknesses", "opportunities" and "threats". Such an analysis on Arista Records shows its current position, so that the company's managers and associates can determine what is needed for optimal future development. The writer points out that it can therefore be regarded as a key strategy in ensuring a company's current well-being and future survival. In conclusion, the writer maintains that it appears that Arista's strengths and opportunities are in a strong position to mitigate its weaknesses and threats. If the balance between the four SWOT elements is handled correctly, the writer claims that the label is likely to survive for a long time to come.
Outline:
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats
From the Paper
"In terms of weaknesses, it appears that Arista Records tends to make ill-advised executive decisions that have a detrimental effect not only on the company's cash flow, but also on its public image. One of these apparently bad choices appears to be replacing Clive Davis with Antonio Reid. Clive Davis contributed a personal, traditional touch to the company by working personally with each artist to ensure his or her optimal development and talent. According to reports, Davis had particular talent in this area, and was therefore responsible for the company's initial success."
"While Reid, according to Jet (2004), is reported in being responsible for high-profile careers such as those of TLC, Toni Braxton and Pink, a fundamental flaw in his management strategy was overspending."

Abstract
This paper looks at the importance of strategic management within the music industry, focusing on the Arista Records company. The paper discusses the importance of factors such as strategic alliances, eliminating unnecessary drains upon the budget, protecting the company from threats such as piracy and illegal copyright practices and finally, maintaining its favorable image with the public. The paper reveals that Arista's future in terms of strategic alliance, budget control and innovative products appears to be bright. The paper shows how, as part of a larger conglomerate, the company seems to be aware of the importance of strategic alliances that can be used as a vehicle for further innovative ideas and a concomitant increase in revenue.
From the Paper
"In creating strategic alternatives for a company, it is important to take into account the various challenges and dynamics of the current business world. Particularly, it is also important that the company focus on the specific industry within which they function, and how they can best use industry developments in order to create a sound strategic management program. Functioning within the music industry, Arista Records is no exception to this paradigm."
"The music industry has seen rapid and extreme changes over the decades since the 1950's. Vinyl records have for example been replaced by CD's, which has been supplemented by digital music technology. On the industry scale, large conglomerates such as Sony and BMG have begun to monopolize the industry, making competition and market entry difficult for small-scale companies without affiliations with large-scale conglomerates."

"Six Records of a Floating Life", 2006.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper refers to the first chapter of Shen Fu's masterpiece, 'Six Records of a Floating Life' and how the author gradually describes his unique wife by small details and anecdotes. It grows clear that Shen Fu and Yun are artistic and even psychic personalities, not quite suited for secular survival. Shen Fu has given much thought to his early life with Yun, the omens to imply they will be parted, as they were by her death at the age of 40, and with the rest of his life a mere existence.
From the Paper
"Shen Fu (1763- c.1809) wrote a most beautiful novel that explains his life's influence by his unique cousin who became his wife, Shen Yun, when both were young. Indeed, no one knows quite what became of Shen Fu, after the death of his wife in 1803, other than a few details, and work on his manuscript after which it tends to be assumed that he too died, c. 1809."

From the paper:
"Information technology promises many benefits to health care. By helping to make accurate information more readily available to providers, payers, researchers, administrators, and patients, advanced computing and communications technology can help improve the quality and lower the costs of health care. Information technology is becoming increasingly important to the health care industry as organizations attempt to find ways of lowering the costs of care while improving its quality. Much of the demand for information technology is driven by structural changes in the health care industry and its methods of care. At the same time, the prospect of storing health information in electronic form raises concerns about patient privacy and data security."

Abstract
This paper discusses how computerized medical record-keeping facilitates improved access and transmission of medical information and has been argued as instrumental in ensuring that patients receive appropriate care in a timely manner. This paper then reviews the issues of confidentiality that have emerged from ethical concerns of misuse of patient information at the hands of insurance providers, health care associates, and even physicians themselves.
From the Paper
"Confidentiality in Computerized Medical Records Description of Case Example Dudley (2004) indicated that confidentiality of patient records has been a contended issue in health care since the advent of transforming paper records into digital records. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was designed to alleviate these concerns and was enacted in April of 2003. However, critics and case research indicates that the HIPAA has not done enough in terms of promoting patient confidentiality and fails to protect the patient's medical information, even in areas of interest that are specifically covered by the legislation (Dudley, 2004). Revisions to HIPAA are to go into effect on March 16 of 2006, but it remains uncertain as to whether these revisions will satisfactory resolve the existing disparities in distribution of protected information.
