The Medical Device Safety Act (MDSA)
I found this “ACT/LAW” very much and advocate for the patient….The Medical Device Safety Act (MDSA) was implemented in 2009. This law will restore patients’ ability to hold medical device manufacturers accountable for injuries caused by defective medical devices. Medical devices range from catheters, implantable defibrillators, pacemaker wires and artificial heart valves.
“Although, the bill replies to a 2008 Supreme Court decision, Riegel v. Medtronic.” That case held that a medical device manufacturer usually cannot be sued by injured patients if the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the device for marketing through its premarket approval (PMA) process.
This bill has two important goals;
▪Improved Recall Processes: This bill has implantation to have the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to improve the handling on the FDA’s recall of defective devices. The GAO will require the FDA to assess and revaluate each device that falls under the unsafe device and expedite the recalls once the “problem” is discovered.
▪ Enhance Post-Market Surveillance Tools: “This legislation would improve FDA’s ability to conduct post-market surveillance for 510(k) cleared devices by allowing FDA to require the collection of post-market data as a condition of approval.” “The authority would mirror the post-market studies that can be required as a condition of a Pre-Market Approval (PMA) for highest risk devices. Under this legislation, the FDA could require conditions of clearance for 510(k) cleared devices that may have safety concerns. If FDA found a device substantially equivalent to a predicate for a higher-risk device, FDA could clear the device for market through 510(k) but require companies to conduct clinical studies and collect and report more complete data”.
Background
FDA’s oversight of medical devices has landed the agency on GAO’s “high-risk list”.2 GAO cites its concerns about FDA’s post-ma.

The Wicked Problem: Heart Failure
Let’s start with some basic facts. It is estimated that there are 400,000 Canadians living with congestive heart failure (CHF): of those, about 40,000 experience cardiac arrest every year; and
less than five per cent of those who have a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital (the majority of cases) survive. Depending on the severity of symptoms, heart dysfunction, age and other factors, CHF can be associated with an annual mortality of between five and 50 per cent. Between 40 and 50 per cent of people with con- gestive heart failure die within five years of diagnosis.
Now let’s look at what this means for the health care system. A study by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society that exam- ined hospital discharges for fiscal 2000 found that a total of 1.38 million hospital days were associated with CHF. The average hospital stay was slightly less than 13 days. Re-admission to hos- pital was also examined. There were a total of 106,130 discharges for CHF in 85,679 patients – suggesting that there were 20,451 re-admissions among these patients. This is a re- admission rate that Dr. Ross Tsuyuki, associate prof ...
Medical errors are ubiquitous and the costs (human and financial) are substantial. The top priority must be to redesign systems geared to prevent, detect and minimise effects of undesirable combinations of design, performance, and circumstance.

Interventions
Falling incidences can cause several complications, including health care costs, severe health issues, immobility, etc. With the severity of this issue, appropriate interventions should take place. In this context, proper monitoring is one of the significant interventions to prevent this incidence (Huang et al., 2020). Hence, incorporating educated and efficient technicians while providing patient care can be an essential step. Yet, due to decreased mobility or functionality, older people often require help in doing basic activities, in this aspect, providing help to the patients while changing to hospital-approved gowns (Liu-Ambrose et al., 2019). In addition, one significant and effective intervention is providing quick education to the patient regarding fall prevention strategies (Radecki, Reynolds & Kara, 2018). Another critical aspect is providing a safe environment for clinical care. Outpatient clinics should improve their workflow and environmental condition, such as removing hazardous materials, and keeping the floor clean and dry, so that the clinic can provide a safe area for older patients. These interventions can help prevent falls (Guirguis-Blake et al., 2018).
Benchmark - Capstone Change Project Objectives
1. Prevent elderly falls in an outpatient radiology clinic.
Rationale: Falls occur as age advances due to individual risk factors or environmental factors. For example, gait or balance deficits, chronic conditions, medications, and footwear the patient is wearing. Assisting these patient populations can prevent falls in the department.
2. Educate patients and people in the community on how to prevent falls.
Rationale: Educate patients regarding physical changes and chronic health conditions that cause or probability of falls.
3. Provide a safe environment for clinical care in the outpatient clinical setting.
Rationale: Design the clinical area accessible to patients in wheelchairs, with assistive devices, and with mobility deficits. Have handrails on walls and hallways for support, clean, non-skid floors, and lighted pathways in hallways, rooms, and bathrooms.
4. A patient care technician (PCT) is available in the outpatient clinical area for patients.
Rationale: Having a PCT in the clinical area, especially around the dressing rooms, would benefit the patients needing help when changing to hospital-approved gowns and monitoring patients for risk.

Group Behavior in OrganizationsAt an organizational level,.docxgilbertkpeters11344
Group Behavior in Organizations
At an organizational level, group behavior is necessary for continued functioning of the
organization. Within an organization, there are established rules, procedures, and processes
developed that define how an organization operates. In addition, there are systems in place
to reward behaviors of those who effectively participate in the organization's operations.
Besides, there are also systems that define consequences that can take place in case
individuals behave outside the accepted practices of the organization. What develops out of
this is an employee's attachment to the organization based on common beliefs, values, and
traditions. The shared attachment and even the commitment to common beliefs, values, and
traditions make up an organization's culture (Helms & Stern, 2001; Lok & Crawford, 2001).
What Is Organization Culture?
Sheard and Kakabadse (2002) explained organizational culture in terms of solidarity and
sociability. Solidarity, in this case, referred to a group's willingness to pursue and maintain
conformity in shared objectives, processes, and systems. Sociability referred to a group's
sense of belongingness by its members and level of camaraderie.
They also mentioned there might be differences between hierarchies or levels within an
organization's culture. Based on the solidarity and sociability of each, upper management
might differ from the decisions made by middle management and line staff. These differences
might also occur between functional departments and, in larger organizations, between
geographically distinct sections of the organization.
What Sheard and Kakabadse wanted to emphasize through this discussion was there might
be distinct subcultures within an organization's culture.
According to De Long and Fahey (2000), "Subcultures consist of distinct sets of values,
norms, and practices exhibited by specific groups or units in an organization." Subcultures
may be readily observed in larger, more bureaucratic organizations or organizations having
well-established departments with employees that have highly specialized or possessing
unique skills.

Grotius, Hobbes
Development of INR – Week 3
Hobbes
Relationship between Natural Law and Law of Nations?
Mediated by the idea of the state of nature as the predicament of insecurity:
Natural right: self-preservation.
Natural law: the observation of promises and contracts.
For states: minimum observation of natural law in the form of consenting to agreements.
Written agreement: treaty-making
Unwritten agreements: customary law
Hobbes
State of Nature: the condition in which individuals find themselves in a perpetual condition of war.
Natural right to self-preservation:
We each have the right to judge what is in our interest for self-preservation.
Conflict occurs because of:
Competition
Diffidence
Glory
Different meanings for words in the State of Nature; no ability in the State of Nature to determine whose judgment is valid (Wolin).
Life in the state of nature: “Solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”
Commonwealth
Commonwealth by institution:
Social contract: it is the collective agreement among all individuals in the state of nature to establish:
Sovereign power
Able to speak and act for a multiplicity of people (which becomes a unified group).
State
The unity of sovereign power and the unified people.
Sovereign is the man or assembly that carries the person of the State.
State is the Leviathan: the mortal God on earth.
Sovereigns come and go but the State remains.
Consequences
The implication: fear is displaced from the condition of the state of nature to the relation between individual and state.
What continues to bind the state is fear of a return to the State of Nature:
the relation between individual and state is one of protection in exchange for obedience.
Private vs. public conscious: does one need to truly believe (i.e. like a Christian) or does the appearance of belief suffice?
“belief and unbelief never follow men’s commands.”
Loyalty only to those that are in power?
Historical context: The Norman Yoke and the English Civil Wars
Stability should not sacrificed as a result of ‘injustice’.
The rise of the ‘mechanical’ centralized administrative state.
Grotius
Dutch legal theorist 16th century;
Along with Vitoria and Gentili laid the foundation for the Law of Nations (Public European Law) on Natural Law.
Moves away from a theological conceptualization of Natural Law to a secular one.
Develops the notion of Natural Rights which becomes key for understanding human morality and law.
Notion of natural right emerged out of the massacre of St. Bartholomew (25 August 1572).
Attempted to establish limitation on the Sovereign’s power:
notion of individual right that the state cannot transgress.
Grotius: “a RIGHT is a moral quality annexed to the person, justly entitling him to possess some privilege, or to perform some particular act”
Four Fundamental Rights
1) the right for others not to take my possessions.
2) the right of restoration of property in case of injury.
3) honoring promises.
4) punish wrongdoing.

GROUP 1 Case 967-- A Teenage Female with an Ovarian MassCLI.docxgilbertkpeters11344
GROUP 1: Case 967-- A Teenage Female with an Ovarian Mass
CLINICAL HISTORY
A teenage female presented with secondary amenorrhea (https://www.healthline.com/health/secondary-amenorrhea#causes). The patient had 1 menstrual cycle 3 years ago and has had no menses since. Laboratory work-up was negative for pregnancy test, mildly increased calcium level (11.7 mg/dL, normal range: 8.5-10.2 mg/dL) and CA 125 (43 Units/ml, normal range: 0-20 Units/ml). Prolactin, TSH, AFP, Inhibin A, Inhibin B and CEA were normal. Imaging revealed a 13 x 11.8 x 8.6 cm, predominately cystic left pelvis mass, with multiple internal septations. Her past medical history was not contributory. Patient underwent left salpingo-oophorectomy (https://www.healthline.com/health/salpingo-oophorectomy), omentectomy (https://moffitt.org/cancers/ovarian-cancer/omentectomy/) and tumor debulking (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debulking) with intraoperative frozen section consultation.
GROSS EXAMINATION
The 930.9 g tubo-ovarian complex consisted of a 20.0 x 16.0 x 8.0 cm large mass, with no recognizable normal ovarian parenchyma grossly and an unremarkable fallopian tube. The cut surface was gray, "fish-flesh", soft with foci of hemorrhage and necrosis.
MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION
Microscopically, the majority of main tumor was growing in large nests, sheets and cords with focal follicle-like structures and geographic areas of necrosis. It was predominantly composed of small cells with hyperchromatic nuclei, round to oval nucleus with irregular nuclear contour, inconspicuous to occasional conspicuous nucleoli and minimal cytoplasm. This component was variably admixed with a population of larger cells, which as the name implies composed of cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, with central or eccentric round to oval nuclei, pale chromatin and prominent nuclei. Both, the small and large cell components demonstrated brisk mitotic activity. All staging biopsies and omentectomy were composed of large cell component.
An extensive panel of immunohistochemical stains was performed. Overall, the staining pattern was strong and diffuse in small cell component compared to patchy weak staining pattern in the large cell component.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS
Small cell carcinoma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-cell_carcinoma) of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4939673/)
DISCUSSION
Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is an aggressive and highly malignant tumor affecting the women under 40. It was first described as a distinct entity by Dickersin et al in 1982 (1). Fewer than 500 cases have been described in the literature and it accounts for less than 1% of all ovarian cancer diagnoses. Due to the initial consideration of epithelial origin, the term of SCCOHT has been used to distinguish this entity from its mimicker, the neuroendocrine or pulmonary type (2). In fact epithelial origin of SCCOHT was recently challenged as new imm.
Greek Drama Further Readings and Short Report GuidelinesOur s.docxgilbertkpeters11344
Greek Drama: Further Readings and Short Report Guidelines
Our study of Greek drama will begin with an overview of Greek theater in general and focus on Aeschylus’ Agamemnon (Norton rental text, Vol. A). You will be completing a quiz/worksheet on Agamemnon (open book) and that play will be the focus of our class from March 26 through April 2. After that, each of you will have the opportunity to focus more intensively on one of three other Greek plays, Sophocles’ Philoctetes, Euripides’ Medea, or Aristophanes’ Lysistrata.
I will be asking you to submit a short report that focuses primarily on the play you chose to study in more depth. Your first task, though, is to choose which of the three plays you want to work on. Here are brief overviews of the three plays.
Sophocles’ Philoctetes(available in the Sophocles II purchase text). Philoctetes, an outstanding Greek warrior, was abandoned by Odysseus, Agamemnon and Menelaos on the way to fight in Troy because they could not bear the agonies of his suffering from a poisonous snake bite. The hero, an exceptional archer who wields the bow of Heracles, has been living in isolation on the wild island of Lemnos for nine years. Now the Greek forces have received a prophecy that they cannot conquer Troy without Philoctetes’ help. Odysseus, whom Philoctetes hates, and Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles, are sent to lure Philoctetes back to the war, by persuasion, treachery or force.
Euripides’ Medea (available in Norton rental text, Vol. A. Medea, the sorceress who helped the hero Jason find the Golden Fleece and also helped save his life, is living with Jason in exile from her homeland with their two children. She has learned that, in order to advance his fortune and social standing, Jason wants to jilt Medea and marry a younger woman. Out of despair and rage, Medea contrives to take revenge against Jason in the most horrific way she can.
Aristophanes’ Lysistrata (available in Norton rental text, Vol. A). Fed up with the emotional and economic hardships caused by the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC), the Athenian and Spartan women, under the leadership of Lysistrata, unite to undertake two group actions: first, to refuse to have sex with their men until the men agree to stop fighting and, second, to cut off funding for the war by occupying the Athenian treasury. Aristophanes’ comedy still raises questions today about who should wield political power and why, as well as about how much humans really value peace.
NOTE: While I am requiring you to focus on only one of the three plays, I strongly encourage you to read all three. I will be saying something about each of the three plays before the short report is due, after we spend some time with Aeschylus’ Agamemnon.
Guidelines for Short Report on Greek Drama

Graphs (Help! Really challenging assignment. Would appreciate any bit of help!)
Family tree's and genealogy software has become more and more prevalent in recent years. From the name you might expect that a family tree would be easily represented by a tree structure, but that is not the case! A more appropriate data structure to represent a family tree would be a type of graph. Using the description of the family that accompanies this assignment, you must represent this family using a graph structure. The graph needs to be a weighted graph. The weights will constitute the types of relationships, I recommend using some kind mapping between numbers and strings to represent the relationships. When adding family members to the graph, this can be done programmatically for the provided family members within the description file. Additionally, I also want there to be an interface in which a user can create a new family member and add them to the tree. This can be a simple CLI where the user provides a name, gender, and age to create a person. Then another simple CLI where they select which member of the family they want the original relationship to be with and what kind of relationship it should be. Finally, they can edit the family member using another CLI and selecting the family member they wish to edit, the operation they wish to perform (edit name, edit age, edit relationship), and then add new relationship between family members which can call a function that you create in order to add the original relationship. Remember the DRY philosophy, where code can be modularized or made into a function, it should be if you plan on using the logic again.
Finally, I want you to make data assertions within the
FamilyTree
class that enforce certain "rules" that exist in a typical human family. An example would be a person should not have any kind of relationship to itself (a person can not marry themselves, a person can not be their own brother, sister, father, mother, etc.). There should be at least 3 data assertions. These should exists as part of the family tree, not as part of the graph.
As a hint, for a successful design: I would recommend using layers of abstraction. Your graph class is the backing structure to the family tree class. Your family tree should implement methods that interface with the graph class, i.e. add_family_member() should call the constructor to create a node and then call a function within the graph class to add a node to the graph. Then using the relationships function parameter, you can add edges to the graph between the new nodes and the existing nodes. The family tree should be what enforces what relationships can exist through the data assertions, the graph does not care about what relationships are made between family members. Your functions that the user would interface with would be greatly reduced compared to the total number of methods within the classes themselves. The user should be able to add, remove, and modi.

Grand Rounds Hi, and thanks for attending this case presen.docxgilbertkpeters11344
Grand Rounds
Hi, and thanks for attending this case presentation. My name is Dr. Stephen Brewer and I am a licensed
clinical psychologist in San Diego, California and Assistant Professor of Psychology and Applied
Behavioral Sciences at Ashford University. Today, I will be sharing with you the story of Bob.
Presenting problem
Bob Smith is a 36-year-old man who came to me approximately six months ago with concerns about his
career choice and life direction. He did not have any significant psychiatric symptoms, besides some
understandable existential anxiety regarding his future. Bob was cooperative, friendly, open, and
knowledgeable about psychology during our first few sessions together. I noticed that he seemed
guarded only when talking about his family and childhood experiences. To confirm his identity, I checked
his driver’s license to ensure his name was indeed Bob Smith and that he lived close by in a mobile home
in Spring Valley. Given his relatively mild symptoms, we decided to meet once a week for supportive
psychotherapy so he could work through his anxieties. I gave him a diagnosis of adjustment disorder
with anxiety.
History
Here’s some background on Bob to give you a sense of who he is.
Family
Bob grew up as an only child in Edmonton, Canada, in a low-income, conservative, and very religious
household.
He shared that his father was largely absent during his childhood, as he spent most of the week residing
north of Edmonton, where he worked as a mechanic in the oil fields near Fort McMurray. On weekends,
Bob’s father would return home and spend as much time as possible with his family. Bob described his
father as warm, caring, and a hard worker. His father reportedly died one year ago.
Bob’s mother was described as a strict, rule-based woman who had a short temper and was prone to
furious outbursts over trivial matters. She worked in Bob’s junior high as a janitor, which meant that Bob
often crossed paths with his mother at school, where she would often check up on him. During Bob’s
high school years, Bob’s mother got a new job as a high school librarian.
At 18, Bob moved to San Diego to study psychology at San Diego State University. He lived in the dorms
for his first few years, where he easily made friends and joined a fraternity. Bob maintained contact with
his parents, but ceased all contact when his mother suggested she would move to San Diego to be closer
to him. He graduated with a 3.2 GPA and began working for the county as a psychiatric technician. He
worked as a psych tech for 14 years and described it as “fun at first, but it got boring and predictable
after a while.”
Treatment
Bob shared that he has a medical doctor that he visits once every few years for his routine physical. He
denied having any significant medical problems. Additionally, he denied using any illicit substances and
reported drinking only on occasion with friends from his fratern.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

· Post: Lisa Kaufman posted Nov 17, 2015 1:21 PM
The Medical Device Safety Act (MDSA)
I found this “ACT/LAW” very much and advocate for the
patient….The Medical Device Safety Act (MDSA) was
implemented in 2009. This law will restore patients’ ability to
hold medical device manufacturers accountable for injuries
caused by defective medical devices. Medical devices range
from catheters, implantable defibrillators, pacemaker wires and
artificial heart valves.
“Although, the bill replies to a 2008 Supreme Court decision,
Riegel v. Medtronic.” That case held that a medical device
manufacturer usually cannot be sued by injured patients if the
4. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the device for
marketing through its premarket approval (PMA) process.
This bill has two important goals;
▪Improved Recall Processes: This bill has
implantation to have the Government Accountability Office
(GAO) to improve the handling on the FDA’s recall of defective
devices. The GAO will require the FDA to assess and revaluate
each device that falls under the unsafe device and expedite the
recalls once the “problem” is discovered.
▪ Enhance Post-Market Surveillance Tools: “This legislation
would improve FDA’s ability to conduct post-market
surveillance for 510(k) cleared devices by allowing FDA to
require the collection of post-market data as a condition of
approval.” “The authority would mirror the post-market studies
that can be required as a condition of a Pre-Market Approval
(PMA) for highest risk devices. Under this legislation, the FDA
could require conditions of clearance for 510(k) cleared devices
that may have safety concerns. If FDA found a device
substantially equivalent to a predicate for a higher-risk device,
FDA could clear the device for market through 510(k) but
require companies to conduct clinical studies and collect and
report more complete data”.
Background
FDA’s oversight of medical devices has landed the agency on
GAO’s “high-risk list”.2 GAO cites its concerns about FDA’s
post-market surveillance of medical devices as a key reason for
being on this list.

Hi Lisa,
The Medical Device Safety Act is very important especially
when dealing with patient who have cardiovascular disease. The
Medical Device improves the patients outcome, also has to be
effective and safe for all patients. I read that Medtronic held
that a patient injured by a poorly designed and labeled medical
device (in this case, a heart catheter that exploded and killed the
patient) could not sue the device maker.

All,
The law I found interesting was the American College of
Surgeons (ACS) statement of practice. This law was brought
into effect in hopes of protecting patients when going against
the knife. It is estimated that there are roughly 100,000 injuries
from surgical errors every year in the United States Healthcare
system. The law requires that only physicians that have the
appropriate credentials for certain procedures are performing
them. Physicians must keep their credentials up to date by
completing continuing education and staying proficient in their
specialty. Along with this, it allows patients the right to know
exactly what their physician is qualified for and the limits
attributed to their training.
An interesting case in which this could have helped prevent a
death is that of Julie Ribenzer. Julie was undergoing breast
augmentation and died when she was given four times the
amount of anesthesia that was needed. After further
investigation, it was noted that her surgeon was not qualified to
6. perform the operation and the individual who administered her
anesthesia has no certified medical training.

There is no such thing as minor surgery. A surgical error is a
preventable mistake during surgery. Although some surgical
errors are the direct result of a physician's incompetence, most
result from poor preoperative planning or inadequate procedures
or work processes. However, all surgeries involve an element of
risk. For that reason, it is typical to sign a form before
undergoing surgery that states you understand surgery involves
certain known risks. This is called “informed consent” Surgical
errors go beyond the known risks of surgery. Surgical errors are
unexpected.
Surgical Errors Law refers to a subset of Medical Malpractice
related to injuries resulting during surgical procedures. The area
focuses largely on surgeons failing to give adequate information
to the patient or the patient's family to allow for informed
consent, performing unnecessary procedures due to negligence
or pecuniary interests, performing procedures for which the
surgeon is not qualified, performing a procedure on the wrong
patient or wrong body part, or other mistakes made during
surgery.

7. One of the many standards and policies I have personally
encountered while working in health care, is the "Do Not Use
List" of abbreviations. This list is utilized by many
organizations but is a primary concern for Joint Commission, a
non-profit organization providing certification and accreditation
to health care facilities. This list is comprised of commonly
used abbreviations that pose a potential risk to patients and
medical staff alike. Abbreviations such as MS are barred from
use as they could be read as either morphine sulfate or
magnesium sulfate. Another item found on the list is trailing or
leading "0's" in decimals as the decimal can often be missed,
turning 1.0mg into 10mg (JC, 2015).

Look around the room you are in right now. How many
technology devices do you have? I know in my room I have a
computer, an iPad, my iPhone always with me, I am using WIFI,
and have a television. Our everyday lives depend on so much
technology. It would be hard for us to function without the
technology we rely on. These new technology changes are
happening in our everyday lives and in all of the business fields
8. too, especially healthcare. Huge technology developments and
improvements over the past few years have caused incredible
changes in the healthcare field. Here are 6 ways Technology has
changed healthcare for the better listed below:
1. Data consumption- data is very important in the healthcare
field. The facility will have diagnostic reports to analyze and
filing patient treatment histories, and so much more that require
a lot of information to hold.
2. Improved Communication- there is better communication
between patient and doctor.
3. Portal technology- medical providers are able to provide
better visibility to patients. Patients can now have access to
their information remotely.
4. Remote Monitoring- Using a small device designed to
measure a particular health issue, remote centers can analyze a
patient's data and alert them if something's wrong. This is a
great device for patients who have a pacemaker.
5. Accelerated experimentation- vaccination research efforts
increased
6.Mobile apps- a person can now track your daily sleep
patterns, count calories, research treatment options, and even
monitor your heart rate.
**Now I want to show you some ways technology is going to
change for a specific healthcare field- Nurses**
There will be three skill sets nurses will need to develop to
acquire, use, and integrate these emerging technologies.
1. Being able to use technology to facilitate mobility,
communication, and relationships.
Examples: email, telehealth and telemedicine, internet, cellular
technology, text messaging, video conferencing, 3-dimensional
printing, social media
2. Having expertise in knowledge information, acquisition, and
distribution
Examples: information literacy, evidence-based practice,
clinical decision support, standardized guidelines
3. Understanding and using genomics in nursing
9. Examples: Understanding the Human Genome Project, genetic
sequencing
In any healthcare field, the technology is going to be improved
and the employees are going to have to learn how to use it. I
believe that this will make the healthcare system better and less
time consuming for patients. Time will definitely tell with all of
the new changes.

· HI Jessica,
Of course I agree that technology is consuming the lives and
direction of many aspects of our lives and organizations that we
come into contact with. Change is usually a difficult aspect of
anyone's lives, and with it come many positives and negatives.
However, I feel that information technology within healthcare
brings more positives than negatives.
A patient having access to their medical care team
electronically is a huge change but the benefits are great!
However, one thing that comes along with that is the fact that
interactions become less personal and that is a downside. I think
that you made some great points about the potential for full use
of technology in the future in the healthcare setting. I can only
imagine how video conferencing would positively affect patient
care and optimize patient hand-off. I'm sure as we have to take
the bitter with the sweet, there will be a downside to this, in
addition to the less personal relationships. However, as services
are optimized it may very well fit in quite well and maximize
availability and hopefully quality of care.
Great post,
Jillette

We have recently implemented RelayHealth. This allows
securely and conveniently exchange of information between
patients, providers, pharmacies, etc. RelayHealth improves care,
provides faster access, and lower costs. The healthcare is
constantly changing and evolving. We can only change and
evolve with it. Personnaly, I think RelayHealth allows faster
access but will allow less face-to-face engagement between the
provider and patient . Another thing that is concerning is
physicians initially learning how to use the computer system
and the changes related to physicians integrating computer use
into their clinical workflow. I don't know about any of you all,
but up until recently, I really wasnt a fan of change.
Now with the implementation of EHRs, my job as a patient
administrator has become easier. At first, it was a little chaotic
with all of the new changes and regulations, but after we got
over that hump, it's been easy sailing.

After reading and looking over the youtube videos I've come to
the conclusion that technology is taking over not only in the
healthcare field but in other professions as well. I think that
with the major changes that may occur with technology a lot of
the nurses and doctors will have to be dual qualified. Not only
will they have to do medical certification but they will more
than likely have to hold some type of lower level IT
certification as well. With the innovation of technology a lot of
the nurses jobs may become easier. What I mean by this is
instead of having to use all of the old school equipment like a
thermometer to a clients temperature I'm sure someone will
design a computerized piece of equipment that will be able to
scan across the patients forehead to read their temperature. Also
11. their may be some type of equipment designed to do the same to
check other vitals as well, similar to the piece of equipment
shown in the video that scanned the plant and was able to tell
you the type of plant.

Technology has become invisible because it is incorporated in
our daily life and its usage is almost a second nature for most
people around most industrialize countries and specifically the
US. Healthcare setting is becoming highly computerized
recently, and moving forward the influx of the healthcare
information technology will cover every area of delivery of
healthcare. For instance, presentation in the lecture reveals a
systematic change due to technology in the healthcare. Many
aspects of innovation in information Technology would be
highly incorporated in the healthcare setting. A process of paper
and pencil would be almost not seen in the future health
vision. There would be less human interaction between the
provider practitioners at the point of delivery of healthcare.
Also, a video presentation on “future health vision” show a
significant incorporation of Health IT in each step of patients’
life as related to their management of health. Future trend and
aspects of the healthcare system will enable patients to take
good control of chronic condition such as Diabetes and
hypertension, the new model of healthcare will reflect a concept
that exceeds the classical term “satisfaction” with regard to
accessibility to healthcare. Also, management of chronic
condition such as Diabetes with a computerized medication
reminder system for a patient and self-check in a clinic for
blood work monitor of A1C are just few examples. Literature
indicates, such model of healthcare would improve treatment
adherence because they generate confidence and positively
12. impact the course of a disease or condition. Practitioner would
have live interaction with clinical researcher based on the area
of interest.
Definitely, it would be imperative for any healthcare provider to
have strong computer skills and good understanding of health IT
in general.
