1. The “Prologueâ€: Although the opening 12-13 minutes of the film appear to simply give a biographical account of Michelangelo’s life and a kind of inventory of his work, please consider why this feature film bio-pic opens with a kind of documentary-type introduction to the man – and to his (sculptural) work. Who is the target audience of this opening sequence? Is there any kind of rivalry or tension between the story of Michelangelo the man and Michelangelo the artist mapped out here, and how does the opening sequence either anticipate or differ from the shape of the rest of the film in this respect? How does the film art / the film as art compete with the ‘real’ art that is showcased in the “Prologueâ€? How does Michelangelo’s art in the film (the Sistine Chapel frescoes) compare to Michelangelo’s art as it appears in the “Prologueâ€?
2. Charlton Heston and Rex Harrison were major mid-twentieth century actors. (They nevertheless appear not to have been the first casting choices for this film!). As it turns out, they did not get along during the making of the film. Think about the film as a “star vehicle†and the need for there to be (plot-driven) tension between the characters of Michelangelo and Pope Julius II, but also eventual resolution. Do you think the two men’s actual dislike for one another helped the character development in the film? How does Rex Harrison represent Julius II – as generous, as militaristic, as proud, as a believer? How does Charlton Heston portray Michelangelo – as proud, driven, a loner, a believer? How does the cinematography capture these traits in both cases? (HINT: Harrison outfitted a the “warrior pope†Julius II on his horse and the Papal throne vs. Heston as the strong, silent artist, Michelangelo, silhouetted against the sky in the mountains around Carrara (at 59 minutes). Finally: What do you make of the camera angle and sweeping view of the completed Sistine Chapel at 2 hours, 9 min.? Does the ceiling – rather than the actors – end up being the star of the show?
3. The post-“Prologue†parts of Reed’s film are elaborately ‘choreographed’; its two parts (before and after the “Intermissionâ€) contain multiple parallel scenes that ask the viewer to assess what kinds of developments occur as the story unfolds. Please consider the following patterns:
a. The opening sequence of Part I in the quarry (carving out the marble that is headed for Rome to become a sculpture by Michelangelo) that then erupts into a battle scene vs. / and the opening sequence of Part II as Michelangelo (the artist) bursting into Julius II’s camp. Has anything changed in the status of the art object? What about the sequence near the end of the film when Michelangelo seeks out the (defeated) Pope in a military camp just to be able to finish the ceiling? Or the very brief scene of cannons firing just before the final scene of the crowds gathered in the completed Sistine Chapel (at 2 hours, 7 min.). What is the relation between war / military activity and art in this film?
b. The two entries of the Pope into Rome in Parts I and II – once in triumph, the second time in defeat.
c. The multiple scenes when Pope Julius II is celebrating mass in the Sistine Chapel with negotiations about the ceiling / the actual painting of the ceiling interrupting the religious services. What is the relation between religious belief / faith, religious ritual, and art in this film?
d. The multiple scenes between Michelangelo and the Contessina de Medici. Is there a development in their relationship? NB: Please note that it was and is well known that Michelangelo was homosexual. Why does Reed emphasize the relationship with the Contessina the way he does? Is there any subtle / indirect evidence of Michelangelo’s homosexuality in the film? (HINT: The scene in the brothel when the Pope’s men are searching for Michelangelo and the dark-haired young male apprentice who seems to be ever present in Part II…).
e. The multiple scenes of direct conflict, but then also clever manipulation of Michelangelo by Julius II and vice versa. How does Julius II succeed in getting Michelangelo to go back to work after he has fallen from the scaffolding? How does Michelangelo provoke Julius II to recover from what appears to be his near death after his defeat in battle in Part II? Consider carefully the scene in Part II when the two of them meet up on the scaffolding and discuss the central fresco of the Creation of Adam (1 hour, 57 min. to 2 hours, 2 min.). What does Julius II see in Michelangelo’s depiction of God and Adam? Does he believe what Michelangelo believes? How does their final conversation in the Sistine Chapel relate to the conversation on the scaffolding? Is this some kind of buddy film?
4. There are two main locations of the action of this film: the city of Florence and the city of Rome. Who and what are the main focus of attention in the respective cities? Who (what classes and / or institutions) sponsor art in these two locations? There are of course other unnamed cities in the film, and the quarry at Carrara; what do these locations represent? Consider especially the class politics of the quarry and the workers’ support of Michelangelo vs. the skepticism – at least in Part I – of the people of Rome vis-à -vis the Pope.
5. Pay careful attention to the politics of the film – which are pretty accurate! What / against whom is Pope Julius II fighting and why? Who are his “enemies†(both locally in Italy and in the rest of Europe) and what countries / leaders are characterized as his friends. Why is he concerned to get the Papal States back under his control? NB: The clearest statement of the politics that Reed would have us think were at stake for Julius II are voiced by the Medici duke at 2 hours, 3 min. to 2 hours, 7 minutes.
5. We see three of Renaissance Italy’s most famous artists depicted in this film: Bramante, Michelangelo, and Raphael. What pieces / kinds of art is each man most clearly identified with in the film? Where does Michelangelo stand on the matter of the relation of ‘modern’ Renaissance art to the art of the ancient Greeks (at 1 hour, 20 minutes to 1 hour, 24 min.)? What about Raphael (please note that what we see Raphael painting is his famous “School of Athens†in the Vatican Stanze at 1 hour, 31 min.)? Are there rivalries between the various artists? Do we see these artists producing alone (as great geniuses) or are they part of a team? Consider Raphael’s speech about patronage at 1 hour, 45 min. Does he accurately describe the situations of patronage depicted in / referred to in the film? Consider the ways that Julius II and Michelangelo constantly bicker about money.

Good evening,
Privacy and confidentiality before the adoption of HIPAA laws was relegated to the state government that is associated with the healthcare organization. This in turn meant that information that was protected within one healthcare organization and state did not make it privileged information for other healthcare providers outside the state. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) implemented privacy restriction on data on the federal level. HIPAA protected information includes records that are contained within Covered Entities (CE) or Business associates (BA). Protected health information (PHI) is individually identifiable health information that relates to an individual’s past, present, or future in regards to physical or mental condition and/or payment for provision of healthcare. Another note in regards to PHI is that it must be in the custody of or be transmitted by a CE or BA. HITECH imposes significant penalties for HIPAA breaches forcing the HIPAA restrictions to become a top priority.
These laws stated above and the procedures that have been put in place through AHIMA are all to uphold the first ethical principle within the code of ethics of the AHIMA states that all members are to “Advocate, uphold, and defend the individual’s right to privacy and the doctrine of confidentiality in the use and disclosure of information.†For both the laws regarding information use and ethics and the AHIMA ethics code, the HIM professionals and students are to be in effect the patients advocate for privacy and confidentiality with the threat of retaliation from HIPAA and HITECH if ethics generated from AHIMA are not followed.
Electronic medical records (EMR) are created when a patient uses any form of medical service. Medical services can be formatted into both structured and unstructured data. Structured data is data that can be easily formatted into the confines of a database, while unstructured data is such that it does not easily fit into the confines of a database. Data that is used for data analytics should not have any personally identifiable information and should not be able to be tracked back to a patient. Data that is kept within the healthcare organizations data warehouses should maintain the CIA triad that maintains confidentiality, integrity and availability. Confidentiality is maintained by setting up security policy within the healthcare organization for internal professionals and encryption for external threats. The data should also maintain integrity such that it will not be changed, and the data should be available to medical professionals that require the use of the information.
Discussion 2 :
In previous discussion posts we have discussed the AHIMA Code of Ethics and the Four Core Principles of Biomedical Ethics, both providing HIM professionals ethical guidance towards making the right decisions for the patients and patient privacy. Through HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) and HITECH Act (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) policy initiatives, HIM professionals have federal law as a guide and force towards patient advocacy (Harman & Cornelius, 2017). Under the HIPAA privacy rule, HIM professionals have more control over patient information in order to protect it. Different types of disclosures and authorizations required can control how much private or confidential information is disclosed, who the exact recipient of the information will be, justification for disclosing the information, and even an expiration date for the disclosed patient data. All of these aspects of HIPAA help safeguard protected health information or PHI by making every little detail regarding sharing patient data clear. The HITECH Act provides incentives for HIM professionals to serve as patient advocates. Financial incentive payments are given to HIM professionals for proper use of certified electronic health records (EHS’s) and heavy penalties and enforcement are applied to those not in compliance, varying in amount of dollar penalty per violation up to a cap of $1.5 million (Burde, 2011). With the addition of the HITECH Act, HIM professionals following current ethical practices and standards set by HIPAA can be rewarded for protecting patient data.
Patient health data repositories have come a long way from paper documents stored in basements rarely to be looked at again. Now that data can be easily stored and accessed there are more ethical issues to consider. A benefit of modern health data repositories is that patients have better access to their own information. However, the convenience comes at a cost as the same information could easily fall into the hands of someone else, whether intentionally through medical identity theft or unintentionally from mistakes made by HIM professionals (Harman & Cornelius, 2017). It is up to HIM professionals and others involved with data repositories to ensure that the data is properly collected, stored, maintained, and protected. In terms of data collection and storage, the same pieces of information can be stored in different ways. Without insight and planning for future use, data can be stored in an unstructured way with no rhyme or reason in how it is organized or presented. On the other hand, structured data is organized, easily readable and is useful for future data analysis (Pickell, 2018). Think of data in an Excel sheet, it is easier to read patient data if their name, day of birth, blood type, and other attributes were under different columns rather than all in one column.

Discussion 3 :
Health Information Management (HIM) professionals in many ways serve as patient advocates in relation to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) Act and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. It is directly stated in the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) Code of Ethics, that members shall “advocate, uphold, and defend the individual’s rights to privacy and the doctrine of confidentiality in the use and disclosure of information†1. While all HIM professionals should strive to uphold this principle, HIPAA and HITECH set the legal standard for how protected health information (PHI) can be collected and handled. It is the responsibility of the HIM professional to safeguard all data and information that is collected from patients. Steps to ensure patient privacy and confidentiality can be taken when the data is collected. This can be done by identifying what specific and meaningful information needs to be disclosed to the healthcare team to provide care, while intentionally not collecting unnecessary information. The HIM professional should also prevent access to this data to non-authorized personnel. If the HIM professional does not adhere to these standards, then patients may become reluctant to share their personal information. This distrust could lead to problems that would propagate through the healthcare system regarding properly caring for the patient.
There a plethora of ethical considerations related to management of healthcare data repositories. One of which is using a patient’s data for predictive analysis. While steps can be taken to turn PHI into de-identifiable information, potential risks of data breaches and re-identification of patients are possible 1. Therefore, the patient must be informed of these risks prior to collecting their data and getting their consent to use it for predictive analysis. This supports the ethical principle of respect for autonomy, by allowing the patient to make their own decisions about their healthcare. This applies more to structured data (data that can be stored in data base with each column corresponding to individual data points of a patient, and can easily be analyzed by an algorithm 1) rather than unstructured data (physician’s notes, medical imaging, etc., that can’t be easily analyzed by an algorithm 1). This is because structured data is much more likely to be used in predictive analysis. Although, the patient should also be informed of these risks regardless of the data type, because unstructured data has potential to be misused as well. While data analysis and predictive modeling can provide many benefits to the healthcare system 2, there are important ethical dilemmas to consider.
