Will the new DoD computer security assessment and authorization process be called DIARMF or just RMF?
It will be called RMF.The newest DoD guidance is DoDI 8500.1, "Cybersecurity", issued March 14, 2014. This reissues and renames DoD Directive (DoDD) 8500.01E as an instruction (DoDI) and incorporates and cancels DoDI 8500.02. The current DIACAP process is to be replaced by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-39 which is titled "ManagingInformation Security Risk: Organization, Mission, and Information System View," Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS) Policy (CNSSP) 22 which is titled "Policy on Information Assurance Risk Management for National Security Systems," and DoDI 8510.01 which is titled "Risk Management Framework (RMF) for DoD Information Technology (IT)."
Is a nurse practitioner a nurse midwife?
Nurse-Midwives (CNM) and Nurse Practitioners (NP) are both Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) with a Master's degree in nursing (MSN). There are two other types of APNs, Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) and Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNS). All four types of APNs take some of the same basic MSN classes such as pathophysiology, pharmacology, advanced physical assessment, research, theory, etc. After these basic classes students specialize as Midwives, NPs, CRNAs or CNSs. Nurse-Midwives are not nurse practitioners, however they can perform some of the same functions as NPs in the birth setting such as ordering diagnostic tests, and writing related prescriptions. Some CNMs may choose to become certified as NPs by going back to school and taking the classes and clinical rotations NPs take, or vice versa some NPs may later decide to become certified as CNMs. In 2015, all APNs, including nurse practitioners and nurse-midwives, will be required to graduate with the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) instead of the master's (MSN) degree, in order to become certified.
Types of health care providers?
Alternative NamesPhysicians; Nurses; Health care providers; Doctors; PharmacistsInformationThis article describes health professionals who provide primary care, nursing care, and specialty care. This is just one way of organizing the many types of health care providers.PRIMARY CAREA primary care provider (PCP) is a person you may see first for checkups and health problems. If you have a health care plan, find out what type of practitioner can serve as your PCP.The term "generalist" often refers to medical doctors (MDs) and doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) who specialize in internal medicine, family practice, or pediatrics.OB/GYNs are doctors who specialize in obstetrics and gynecology, including women's health care, wellness, and prenatal care. Many women use an OB/GYN as their primary care provider.Nurse practitioners (NPs) are nurses with graduate training. They can serve as a primary care provider in family medicine (FNP), pediatrics (PNP), adult care (ANP), or geriatrics (GNP). Others are trained to address women's health care (common concerns and routine screenings) and family planning. In some states NPs can prescribe medications.A physician assistant (PA) can provide a wide range of services in collaboration with a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Osteopathy (DO).NURSING CARERegistered nurses (RNs) have graduated from a nursing program, have passed a state board examination, and are licensed by the state.Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) are state-licensed caregivers who have been trained to care for the sick.Advanced practice nurses have education and experience beyond the basic training and licensing required of all RNs. This includes nurse practitioners (NPs) and the following: Clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) have training in a field such as cardiac, psychiatric, or community health.Certified nurse midwives (CNMs) have training in women's health care needs, including prenatal care, labor and delivery, and care of a woman who has given birth.Certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) have training in the field of anesthesia. Anesthesia is the process of putting a patient into a painless sleep, and keeping the patient's body working, so surgeries or special tests can be done.DRUG THERAPYLicensed pharmacists have graduate training from a college of pharmacy.Your pharmacist prepares and processes drug prescriptions that were written by your primary or specialty care provider. Pharmacists provide information to patients about medications, while also consulting with health care providers about dosages, interactions, and side effects of medicines.Your pharmacist may also follow your progress to check the safe and effective use of your medication.SPECIALTY CAREYour primary care provider may refer you to professionals in various specialties when necessary, such as:Allergy and asthmaAnesthesiology -- general anesthesia or spinal block for surgeries and some forms of pain controlCardiology -- heart disordersDermatology -- skin disordersEndocrinology -- hormonal and metabolic disorders, including diabetesGastroenterology -- digestive system disordersGeneral surgery -- common surgeries involving any part of the bodyHematology -- blood disordersImmunology -- disorders of the immune systemInfectious disease -- infections affecting the tissues of any part of the bodyNephrology -- kidney disordersNeurology -- nervous system disordersObstetrics/gynecology -- pregnancy and women's reproductive disordersOncology -- cancer treatmentOphthalmology -- eye disorders and surgeryOrthopedics -- bone and connective tissue disordersOtorhinolaryngology -- ear, nose, and throat (ENT) disordersPhysical therapy and rehabilitative medicine -- for disorders such as low back injury, spinal cord injuries, and strokePsychiatry -- emotional or mental disordersPulmonary (lung) -- respiratory tract disordersRadiology -- x-rays and related procedures (such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI)Rheumatology -- pain and other symptoms related to joints and other parts of the musculoskeletal systemUrology -- disorders of the male reproductive and urinary tracts and the female urinary tract
