Is the survey administered through https encryption to prevent eavesdropping to tampering with online communication? Is the survey administered to prevent the collection of identifiable data (e.g. email address), and IP addresses? Instructions for removing IP addresses in Qualtrics: In your survey draft, select “Edit Survey” from the tabs. Choose “Survey Options,” then “Survey Termination.” Check the box called “Anonymize Responses” which will make Qualtrics delete the IP address once the survey is completed. The Qualtrics helpdesk is available for all Appalachian users if you need help. Their number is (800) 340-9194 and you will need to provide your Appstate user name.

Cryptorchidism or undescended testis (UDT) is the most common genital disorder identified at birth. The main reasons for treatment of cryptorchidism include increased risks of impairment of fertility potential, testicular malignancy, torsion and/or associated inguinal hernia [1]. Approximately 1% of males have undescended testes, 80% of them are clinically palpable and 20% are non-palpable. The term ‘nonpalpable testes’ implies that they cannot be detected on physical examination; they are either intra-abdominal, absent, vanishing or atrophic [2]. Preoperative detection and location of testicles can help to determine the optimal type of procedure and allow for appropriate future planning. In the case of vanishing or absent
This year as an administrator in the building the survey would have come in handy in order for me to learn about some of the
Identity theft has always been in the back of my mind whenever I use my debit card but I wasn’t too concerned about my health information until I learned about HIPAA. It is a very important set of rules and standards that protects our privacy.
Researchers who conduct interventional clinical research have put into question the Privacy Rule and how it will affect their research activities. The Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration and Protection of Human Subjects Regulations are advised to take measures to protect the

The sample was sufficient enough to prevent any hastiness or weak generalizations and the process by which they went about collecting the data was completely random in terms of selecting a balanced and equal number of participants. The target population was the general American public and these methods seem to accurately reflect the target’s characteristics. With the techniques conducted by Rasmussen it becomes possible for a bias to creep in. The main issue comes with the online surveys because, despite being sent to a specific set of people, the amount of those who decided to participate or if it was the correct person can not be out of the control of the pollsters, which is one aspect was. The target population for this then, the active voters in the U.S., becomes harder to connect to due to the lapse in full randomly selected participants.
Today, you have more reason than ever to care about the privacy of your medical information. This information was once stored in locked file cabinets and on dusty shelves in the medical records department.
In the modern era, the use of computer technology is very important. Back in the day people only used handwriting on the pieces of paper to save all documents, either in general documents or medical records. Now this medical field is using a computer to kept all medical records or other personnel info. Patient's records may be maintained on databases, so that quick searches can be made. But, even if the computer is very important, the facility must remain always in control all the information they store in a computer. This is because to avoid individuals who do not have a right to the patient's information.
Gallup uses surveys to obtain information on major policies, economics, and every day environmental issues that is both world wide and national as well. Gallup is being used in 160 countries in two very big ways. They have two different methods they use and the the first one is through telephone polls, they randomly call people to survey them over the phone. They use this message to get a hold of people out of the country because it’s a easier message to contact them or the fastest way to get a hold of them. So I can’t message to use a face-to-face interview where they have an hour long interview talking about developing different countries that are in need of help. I really think that these message really are effective, because a lot of people
the fraction. It is obvious that the covered entity violated the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule most especially in the HIPAA Security Rule.
With this being said, numbers are not always coordinately correct. One reason would be because the people that are doing the survey wouldn’t understand the question and perhaps they would put whatever they wanted to. If people do this then the study being done for that reason would be incorrect. For example, when bringing back the idea of having the survey that asks questions to students, reading if they like coming to school would not be accurate, why? Because that specific questionnaire had to have their personal information and students would feel as if they had to lie because others, such as the director or the professors would see. It is better to have surveys that are anonymous or some that are rephrased by some questions to see if they are actually
Data encryption refers to the process of transforming electronic information into a scrambled form that can only be read by someone who knows how to translate the code. In nowadays business world, it’s the easiest and most practical way to secure the information that we stored and processed, and it’s significant for our sensitive information. For example, as electronic commerce is popular now, the vendors and retailers must protect the customers’ personal information from hackers or competitors. They also have many business files or contracts that need to be strictly protected. Without data encryption, these important information may fall into wrong hands and be misused by others. Besides, data encryption may be used to secure sensitive information that exists on company networks, or create digital signatures, and help to authorize in business. No one should underestimate the importance of encryption. A little mistake in encryption may make sensitive information revealing, or even result in illegal and criminal accuse.
The questionnaire was self-completion questionnaire which sometimes is named self-administered questionnaire. It is to say that respondents completed the questionnaires by themselves (Bryman and Bell, 2003). The research conducted an online survey though a professional website called ‘survey monkey’. There is no doubt that it is a cheaper and easier way to collect information for researcher. In addition, it is convenient for respondents as well.
Data encryption refers to the transformation of data into a structure that makes it unreadable by anyone without a secret decryption key. It ensures that messages can be read only by the planned recipient. Encryption is the procedure of obscuring information to create it unreadable without special information. Only organizations and individuals with an abnormal need for secrecy have actually made good use of it. Nowadays, encryption is one of the most important technologies for maintaining your privacy and the security of important information. This helps out greatly especially when E-Commerce is being used.
Lack of response is the main disadvantage for mail surveys. The group survey is another low cost form, however the individual respondent is interviewed in a group. The disadvantage with group surveys are the logistics of marshaling the respondents to one location and the perception by respondents that grouping posses less anonymity. Electronic surveys are a relatively new addition in survey research and could very well become comparable to the telephone survey. Electronic surveys are advantageous for the low cost as well as ease in delivery. Because the delivery method is through internet, and the general population does not
