Discussion: Foundational Pioneers in Informatics
The smartphone has become an increasingly valuable tool in the field of medicine. Because of the phone’s small size and powerful computing capabilities, doctors, nurses, and researchers use these smartphones in a wide range of areas. For example, smartphones can be used as an electrocardiogram, to perform ultrasound procedures, to track patient progress, and as a decision support tool for generating diagnoses (Ozdalga, Ozdalga & Ahuja, 2012). Like most innovative technologies, the smartphone and its applications are a result of many years of incremental research and development.

Second-Generation HIT Informaticists
Great discoveries can transform the world. In 400 BC, Hippocrates theorized that the body was composed of four “humors”—blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile. Now think of the impact of the seminal work of William Harvey, who, in the 1600s, accurately described the circulation system and the role of the heart for the first time. It was not until the early 1900s that the Austrian biologist Karl Landsteiner identified four distinct blood groups. Today, knowledge about the nature and properties of blood is so complicated that the entire field of blood chemistry is devoted to its study.
This same type of expansion of knowledge within a scientific field is mirrored within the field of informatics. As new technologies develop, subsequent changes occur in the fiel that are, built upon the earlier work of others. In this Discussion, you examine the continuing evolution of the field of health informatics and assess how researchers built on the work of preceding scientists.

Discussion: Integrating PHRs Into EHR
Platforms
When electronic health records (EHRs) first entered the market, their primary focus was to collect and analyze patient information within health care settings. As technological capabilities grew, so did the interest in making these records available to patients. In addition, many health care professionals saw benefits in allowing the patient to enter his or her own health data into EHR platforms. Though many patients are already utilizing personal health records (PHRs) to manage and track their own health, some believe that an integrated system would provide a better, more comprehensive picture of a patient’s health history.
As a result, many EHR platforms are now equipped with a PHR tool. This PHR tool allows patients to enter health information as they would in a stand-alone PHR system. In addition, web-based portals within the EHR allow patients to access information entered by their physicians and health care providers.
Like many emerging trends and technologies, there is much discussion about the potential benefits and challenges of this type of integrated system. While many health care professionals are excited about the empowerment provided to patients, others express significant concerns about access, security, ethics, and other implications.
In this Discussion, you explore how integrating PHRs into EHR platforms could impact you and your patients.

Medical informatics is the study and application of methods to improve the management of patient data, clinical knowledge, population data, and other health information to enhance patient care and public health. There are varying definitions that center around using technology and data to better organize and collect medical information. The field aims to advance healthcare through more efficient gathering, storing, and accessing of biomedical knowledge and patient information. Medical informatics has evolved with technological changes, transitioning record systems from paper to electronic formats.
Standardized terminology is important for the effective exchange of patient data across different healthcare systems. When describing things like pain, patients and clinicians may use different words, creating problems for assessing health issues. Healthcare information technology allows for greater data sharing, but the information must be entered in a standardized way to retain its meaning. Nurses need to understand how to organize and standardize data and information to make the most of health information technology tools.

Week 1: Nursing Informatics and Patient Safety
In 2011, Mason General Hospital was named by
Hospitals & Health Networks
magazine as one of the “Most Wired” hospitals in the United States. What makes this particularly significant is that Mason General is a small, 25-bed, rural hospital in the state of Washington. It credits its success to nurse Eileen Branscome, director of clinical informatics. Under her leadership, the hospital adopted such innovations as visual smart boards where real-time patient information is always available. According to the magazine, those hospitals designated as “Most Wired” “show better outcomes in patient satisfaction, risk-adjusted mortality rates, and other key quality measures through the use of information technology (IT)” (Mason General Hospital and Family of Clinics, 2012).
Developments in information technology have enabled patients and health care providers to collaborate for quality improvement at an unprecedented level, and nurses have consistently been at the forefront of these efforts. This week you focus on the IOM report “To Err Is Human” and consider how health information technology has helped to address the issues of patient safety and quality health care.

Integrating PHRs into EHR Platforms When electronic health re.docxBHANU281672
This document discusses integrating personal health records (PHRs) into electronic health record (EHR) platforms. While EHRs were initially focused on collecting patient data within healthcare settings, there is now interest in making records available to patients and allowing them to enter their own health data. Many patients currently use standalone PHRs, but an integrated system within EHRs could provide a more comprehensive health history. Some EHR platforms now include a PHR tool that lets patients enter information and access provider-entered data through a patient portal. However, integrating PHRs also raises debates around potential benefits, such as patient empowerment, and challenges regarding access, security, ethics, and other implications.
This document provides instructions for a paper assignment on the data/information/knowledge/wisdom continuum in nursing informatics. Students are asked to develop a clinical question relevant to their practice area and explain how they would work through the continuum to gain data, information, knowledge, and eventually wisdom on the topic. They must identify databases and search terms, explain how information would be organized into knowledge, and describe how informatics could be used to progress from knowledge to wisdom. The document provides references that can be used and formatting guidelines for a 4-page paper.

1) As a result of specialized terminology developing within different medical fields, standardized coding systems are important for promoting consistent, high-quality care across disciplines and healthcare systems.
2) Coding standards allow for improved communication between nurses and other healthcare professionals. They are also necessary for incorporating electronic documentation into healthcare.
3) While standardization is important, there is debate around whether a single standardized language is needed for all nursing practice or if standardization can occur within specialties. Additional research and examples are needed to support either approach.
This document provides an overview of evidence-based practice (EBM) and its role in healthcare. It defines EBM as applying the best available evidence to inform clinical decision making by integrating clinical expertise with research evidence. The document discusses both advocacy for EBM to make healthcare more effective and "cultural" resistance to its experimentally-oriented approach. It also introduces comparative effectiveness research as the new focus of EBM efforts to compare interventions and outcomes across patient populations.
Transforming Nursing and Healthcare through Technology (NURS - 6051N.docxcandycemidgley
The document discusses the effects of the 1999 report "To Err is Human" on nursing practice in the United States. It highlights how the report's recommendations have guided significant changes in nursing practice through increased focus on patient safety. Nurses are asked to review the report's recommendations and consider how health information technology can help address patient safety concerns raised in the report. Specifically, they are asked to reflect on how their current organization has transitioned from outdated rules to new rules focused on patient safety and quality of care.
The document discusses the importance of standardized coding systems in healthcare. As the healthcare system is fragmented, different specialties have developed their own terminology, which poses challenges for electronic medical records that require standardized codes. The implementation of standardized terminology allows for improved communication between healthcare professionals and across information systems. While coding standards are valuable for consistent high-quality care, some nurses do not fully understand their importance. The document examines why standardized nursing language is needed and whether it can be limited to specialties or applied more broadly across nursing practice.

The implementation of standardized terminology allows for improved communication between healthcare professionals and across information systems. While coding standards are valuable for consistent high-quality care, some nurses do not fully understand their importance. The document examines why standardized nursing languages are needed and whether they should be used across all nursing practice or just within specialties.
This document discusses the evolution and benefits of electronic health records (EHRs), as well as roadblocks to their implementation. It traces the evolution from automated health records to computer-based patient record systems to modern EHRs. EHRs improve accuracy, access, quality, and efficiency while reducing costs. However, roadblocks include issues with data entry standards, workforce resistance, system interoperability, finances, privacy, and security. Recommendations include adopting standards, training workers, ensuring interoperability and developing policies around privacy and security.
These nursing assignments discuss standardized coding systems and nursing informatics competencies. Regarding coding systems, standardized terminologies are important for consistent, high-quality care across different healthcare settings and professionals. Regarding competencies, the assignments identify relevant functional areas of nursing informatics for an individual's role and gaps in their skills, then develop a plan for improving skills through available resources.
Information Architecture How do you use health information tec.docxJeniceStuckeyoo
Information Architecture
How do you use health information technology in your daily work activities? Does the CNO (Chief Nursing Officer) in your organization use the same Health Information Technology (HIT) as the nurses at the bedside? What about those individuals who work in admissions? In order to develop an information system that can facilitate the ability to track, share, and analyze patient data, an organization has to take into account the differing needs or views of various departments.
In this Discussion, you consider the differing viewpoints of the professionals within your organization. Imagine what your colleagues’ needs might be and how they might use a HIT system to access and share information to promote evidence-based care. What are the similarities and differences in how this technology would be used by physicians, lab techs, administrators, nurses, informaticians, and others?
To prepare:
Review this week’s media presentation, focusing on how the VA’s VistA system demonstrates data flow across an organization.
Reflect on your organization’s information architecture and the various information needs of different groups within your work setting. What constraints has your organization faced with implementing health information technology systems that meet everyone’s needs? Consider speaking with your colleagues from different areas about this topic.
Ask yourself: How does the flow of data across my organization support, or inhibit, evidence-based practice?
By Tomorrow 09/06/17, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with a minimum of 3 references from the list below which include the level one headings as numbered below:
post
a cohesive response that addresses the following:
1)
Differentiate the information needs within your organization. For example, how might the needs of an administrator differ from the needs of a physician or lab tech?
2)
Explain the impact of these different needs on the implementation of HIT in your present organization.
3)
Evaluate how the flow of information across HIT systems within your organization supports or inhibits evidence-based practice.

Discussion1 : Racism and Privilege
In many societies certain groups possess more resources and hold more power than other groups. In some of these societies, racial discrimination and racial tension also exist. While members of the societies may openly acknowledge that unequal distribution of power and racism are present in their society, many fail to examine the complex relationships between privilege and racism. Social workers must understand this complex relationship so they can educate and empower their clients. Empowerment is the cornerstone of social work practice
.
In the book
Black Empowerment,
the author,Barbara Solomon, writes, "Empowerment refers to a process whereby persons who belong to a stigmatized social category throughout their lives can be assisted to develop and increase skills in the exercise of interpersonal influence and the performance of valued social roles" (p. 6).
Empowerment practice is based on a collaborative relationship between worker and client, initiated to promote the client's power through self-actualization, self-determination, and the fulfillment of personal goals (Gutierrez, Parsons, & Cox, 1998). Further, this process includes increasing your clients' awareness of the structural oppression that exists and its impact on them. It is the role of social workers to empower clients and to bring about awareness of the inequalities that exist in society. This is done two fold—through work with clients on the micro and mezzo levels and on a macro level through work in organizations and communities.
Social workers cannot effectively empower clients without first understanding the mechanisms of oppression and how they impact their day-to-day work. Then social workers can recognize the impact on their clients' lives and apply the appropriate skills.

Week 1: Nursing Informatics and Patient Safety
In 2011, Mason General Hospital was named by
Hospitals & Health Networks
magazine as one of the “Most Wired” hospitals in the United States. What makes this particularly significant is that Mason General is a small, 25-bed, rural hospital in the state of Washington. It credits its success to nurse Eileen Branscome, director of clinical informatics. Under her leadership, the hospital adopted such innovations as visual smart boards where real-time patient information is always available. According to the magazine, those hospitals designated as “Most Wired” “show better outcomes in patient satisfaction, risk-adjusted mortality rates, and other key quality measures through the use of information technology (IT)” (Mason General Hospital and Family of Clinics, 2012).
Developments in information technology have enabled patients and health care providers to collaborate for quality improvement at an unprecedented level, and nurses have consistently been at the forefront of these efforts. This week you focus on the IOM report “To Err Is Human” and consider how health information technology has helped to address the issues of patient safety and quality health care.

Integrating PHRs into EHR Platforms When electronic health re.docxBHANU281672
This document discusses integrating personal health records (PHRs) into electronic health record (EHR) platforms. While EHRs were initially focused on collecting patient data within healthcare settings, there is now interest in making records available to patients and allowing them to enter their own health data. Many patients currently use standalone PHRs, but an integrated system within EHRs could provide a more comprehensive health history. Some EHR platforms now include a PHR tool that lets patients enter information and access provider-entered data through a patient portal. However, integrating PHRs also raises debates around potential benefits, such as patient empowerment, and challenges regarding access, security, ethics, and other implications.
This document provides instructions for a paper assignment on the data/information/knowledge/wisdom continuum in nursing informatics. Students are asked to develop a clinical question relevant to their practice area and explain how they would work through the continuum to gain data, information, knowledge, and eventually wisdom on the topic. They must identify databases and search terms, explain how information would be organized into knowledge, and describe how informatics could be used to progress from knowledge to wisdom. The document provides references that can be used and formatting guidelines for a 4-page paper.

1) As a result of specialized terminology developing within different medical fields, standardized coding systems are important for promoting consistent, high-quality care across disciplines and healthcare systems.
2) Coding standards allow for improved communication between nurses and other healthcare professionals. They are also necessary for incorporating electronic documentation into healthcare.
3) While standardization is important, there is debate around whether a single standardized language is needed for all nursing practice or if standardization can occur within specialties. Additional research and examples are needed to support either approach.
This document provides an overview of evidence-based practice (EBM) and its role in healthcare. It defines EBM as applying the best available evidence to inform clinical decision making by integrating clinical expertise with research evidence. The document discusses both advocacy for EBM to make healthcare more effective and "cultural" resistance to its experimentally-oriented approach. It also introduces comparative effectiveness research as the new focus of EBM efforts to compare interventions and outcomes across patient populations.
Transforming Nursing and Healthcare through Technology (NURS - 6051N.docxcandycemidgley
The document discusses the effects of the 1999 report "To Err is Human" on nursing practice in the United States. It highlights how the report's recommendations have guided significant changes in nursing practice through increased focus on patient safety. Nurses are asked to review the report's recommendations and consider how health information technology can help address patient safety concerns raised in the report. Specifically, they are asked to reflect on how their current organization has transitioned from outdated rules to new rules focused on patient safety and quality of care.
The document discusses the importance of standardized coding systems in healthcare. As the healthcare system is fragmented, different specialties have developed their own terminology, which poses challenges for electronic medical records that require standardized codes. The implementation of standardized terminology allows for improved communication between healthcare professionals and across information systems. While coding standards are valuable for consistent high-quality care, some nurses do not fully understand their importance. The document examines why standardized nursing language is needed and whether it can be limited to specialties or applied more broadly across nursing practice.

While coding standards are valuable for consistent high-quality care, some nurses do not fully understand their importance. The document examines why standardized nursing languages are needed and whether they should be used across all nursing practice or just within specialties.
This document discusses the evolution and benefits of electronic health records (EHRs), as well as roadblocks to their implementation. It traces the evolution from automated health records to computer-based patient record systems to modern EHRs. EHRs improve accuracy, access, quality, and efficiency while reducing costs. However, roadblocks include issues with data entry standards, workforce resistance, system interoperability, finances, privacy, and security. Recommendations include adopting standards, training workers, ensuring interoperability and developing policies around privacy and security.
These nursing assignments discuss standardized coding systems and nursing informatics competencies. Regarding coding systems, standardized terminologies are important for consistent, high-quality care across different healthcare settings and professionals. Regarding competencies, the assignments identify relevant functional areas of nursing informatics for an individual's role and gaps in their skills, then develop a plan for improving skills through available resources.
Information Architecture How do you use health information tec.docxJeniceStuckeyoo
Information Architecture
How do you use health information technology in your daily work activities? Does the CNO (Chief Nursing Officer) in your organization use the same Health Information Technology (HIT) as the nurses at the bedside? What about those individuals who work in admissions? In order to develop an information system that can facilitate the ability to track, share, and analyze patient data, an organization has to take into account the differing needs or views of various departments.
In this Discussion, you consider the differing viewpoints of the professionals within your organization. Imagine what your colleagues’ needs might be and how they might use a HIT system to access and share information to promote evidence-based care. What are the similarities and differences in how this technology would be used by physicians, lab techs, administrators, nurses, informaticians, and others?
To prepare:
Review this week’s media presentation, focusing on how the VA’s VistA system demonstrates data flow across an organization.
Reflect on your organization’s information architecture and the various information needs of different groups within your work setting. What constraints has your organization faced with implementing health information technology systems that meet everyone’s needs? Consider speaking with your colleagues from different areas about this topic.
Ask yourself: How does the flow of data across my organization support, or inhibit, evidence-based practice?
By Tomorrow 09/06/17, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with a minimum of 3 references from the list below which include the level one headings as numbered below:
post
a cohesive response that addresses the following:
1)
Differentiate the information needs within your organization. For example, how might the needs of an administrator differ from the needs of a physician or lab tech?
2)

Discussion Workflow ModelingWorkflow modeling is widely used .docxmickietanger
Discussion: Workflow Modeling
Workflow modeling is widely used throughout many different types of businesses, including health care organizations, to visually summarize the steps of complex processes and systems. When constructing a workflow model, it is important to ensure that the model accurately reflects the actual steps in a process.
In this Discussion, you consider a case study of a health care clinic and its process for ordering medical supplies. You then examine a workflow model that is meant to reflect that process and analyze the model’s accuracy based on the information in the case study. You also analyze the importance of accurate workflow modeling and consider strategies for creating accurate workflow models for health care processes.
Case Study:
Deerborne Dialysis is a local dialysis clinic that is part of a larger health care network, Buckeye Health. Buckeye Health executives have recently been examining the processes by which organizations within the network manage their supplies. Deerborne Dialysis was identified as an exemplary model of efficient supply management, and Buckeye Health executives have requested a workflow model of how Deerborne Dialysis handles their supply management process.
Sharon is the nurse who oversees the process of ordering and stocking supplies for Deerborne Dialysis. She knows the process well and developed a description of the steps in the supply management process. First, Sharon conducts a daily check of the supplies in the storage room. If there is a supply that is running low, Sharon submits an order to the medical supplier. When the clinic receives the shipment, Sharon unpacks the shipment and cross-checks the supplies that were shipped with the supplies that were ordered. If there is a discrepancy, the entire shipment must be returned to the medical supplier, who then rushes a new shipment to the clinic to be received the next day. If there is no discrepancy, or once the new shipment is received, unpacked, and cross-checked, Sharon stocks the shelves in the storage room and gives the supply bill to the clinic’s accountant, who ensures that the medical supplier receives payment.
Sharon has created the following workflow model to reflect the steps she goes through to manage the clinic’s inventory of supplies:
To prepare:
Review the case study above and examine the workflow model that is meant to reflect the process described in the case study.
Identify problems with the workflow model. How could the model be revised to be more accurate, clear, and effective?
Reflect on the importance of creating an accurate workflow model of health care processes. What are the challenges involved in workflow modeling? What are the consequences of inaccurate workflow models?
Consider strategies that you can use to ensure that workflow models are effective and accurate.

Discussion Topic 5Monopoly is nearly always seen as something un.docxmickietanger
Discussion Topic 5
Monopoly is nearly always seen as something undesirable. Courts have wrestled with monopoly for ages, sometimes defining it as: "the power to control prices and exclude competition", "restraining trade", or "unfair and anti-competitive behavior." Should monopolistic practices be condemned and outlawed? Briefly discuss.

Discussion 1: Title Protection and Licensure
When one pictures a doctor sitting at her office desk, it seems natural to imagine multiple diplomas on the wall nearby. The notion of doctors displaying their credentials seems indisputable when one considers the importance of professional credibility in instilling trust in patients.
Just as medical practitioners are responsible for achieving and maintaining proper licensure, so are social work professionals. Those who receive the title of “social worker” have met the criteria developed to demonstrate proficiency in meeting the demands associated with the profession.
For this Discussion, research the criteria for assuming the title of social worker in your state or country. Consider benefits offered by title protection and maintenance of licensure standards. Also think Kirst-Ashman, K. K., & Hull, G. H., Jr. (2012).
Understanding generalist practice
(6th ed.). Stamford, CT: Cengage Learning.
Chapter 3, “Practice Skills for Working with Groups” (pp. 94-126)
about the challenges that title protection and licensure standards may pose.
Post by Day 3
a description of strengths and challenges associated with title protection and licensure. Describe two strengths and two Although students of social work have not yet satisfied the criteria to earn the title of “social worker,” they are bound by the same ethical requirements as titled social workers. Social workers regularly face ethical issues of varying magnitude, and social work students may as well. Some issues seem obvious, while others may emerge in subtle ways.
For this Discussion, select one of the following scenarios. Consider the dilemma described, and imagine how you might feel if you found yourself in a similar situation. Think about the ethical obligations you would have as a social worker or social work student.
Scenario 1
You are a social worker in a public health department providing services to pregnant women. As part of your duties, you provide parenting education, support, and connection to community resources, and you follow up with the families and their newborns for six months after birth. Ms. C has been a client of yours during two pregnancies in the last three years. She has a 15 year-old, a nine year-old, a three year-old, and a newborn. On this day, you are making a routine visit to Ms. C, who lives in an older mobile hom.
Discussion Social Work CompetenceThe term competence connotes.docxmickietanger
Discussion: Social Work Competence
The term
competence
connotes a level of preparedness for addressing issues and maintaining a high standard of practice with clients. Competent social workers have completed adequate preparations for licensure, and they are appropriately credentialed. They adhere to ethical practices by maintaining professional boundaries and honoring commitments to confidentiality. How might you demonstrate your competence as a social worker? How can you recognize competence in other social workers?
For this Discussion, review this week’s Readings. Think about elements in the articles that denote competence.
Post a description of at least two criteria that define competence in social work.
Give an example of each criterion of competence and justify your selection.

Discussion The Systems Development Life Cycle and the Nurse Infor.docxmickietanger
Discussion: The Systems Development Life Cycle and the Nurse Informaticist
The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a model for planning and implementing change within an organization. It is important for many individuals to be represented in the process, especially the end users of the system or the employees who must live with the change. As informatics become more and more widespread throughout the health care field, collaboration between information technology (IT) professionals and health care practitioners is becoming increasingly important. The nurse informaticist is able to combine the perspective of the information technology side with the clinical nursing perspective.
While the titles and specific responsibilities of nurse informaticists vary across organizations and practice settings, the fundamental purpose of the role remains the same. Nurse informaticists synthesize their knowledge of how technology can improve health care with an understanding of clinical practice and workflow. This is why nurse informaticists can be instrumental in facilitating the SDLC for informatics in health care. For this Discussion, you examine the relationship between the nurse informaticist and the use of the SDLC.
To prepare:
Review the information in this week’s Learning Resources on the SDLC and the role of the nurse informaticist. Reflect on Chapter 1 of the Dennis, Wixom, and Roth course text and consider how the information about the systems analyst role translates into nursing and health care.
Consider a recent change in your organization related to the implementation of a new technology or system. How was this change handled? What was the general SDLC process? Who was involved, and what were the outcomes?
Identify whether your organization (or one with which you are familiar) has a formal title or position for the nurse informaticist. This position may be called by a different name, such as nurse informatics specialist or informatics analyst, so be sure to review the position description.
If your organization has a position for the nurse informaticist, what are the responsibilities of that position? If your organization does not have such a position, conduct research in the Walden Library and at credible online sources on the role of the nurse informaticist.
Reflect on the role of the nurse informaticist in the overall health care field. How is this position connected to the SDLC? Assess the benefits of having this specialized position within health care organizations and involving the nurse informaticist in the SDLC.
Post by tomorrow 8/30/16 550 words in APA format with a minimum of 3 references from the list provided under Required Readings. Apply the level 1 headings as numbered below:
1) A description of how the systems development life cycle is utilized in your organization (Hospital), or in one with which you are familiar, and assess its effectiveness.

Discussion QuestionWomen have a long history of being considered i.docxmickietanger
Discussion Question
Women have a long history of being considered inferior to men. However, during the middle to the late 20th century, the women’s rights movement began to improve the plight of women in Western society by granting them access to societal positions previously held only by men.
Some people claim that women have finally achieved equality with men in the 21st century; others are not convinced.
How will you describe the status of equality between men and women in contemporary Western culture?
Do you see any major areas where women are still discriminated against on a large scale? If so, give at least two examples. If not, rationalize your views.

Discussion: Respiratory Alterations
In clinical settings, patients often present with various respiratory symptoms such as congestion, coughing, and wheezing. While identifying a symptom’s underlying illness can be challenging, it is essential because even basic symptoms such as persistent coughing can be a sign of a more severe disorder. Advanced practice nurses must be able to differentiate between moderate and severe respiratory disorders, as well as properly diagnose and prescribe treatment for their patients. For this reason, you must have an understanding of the pathophysiology of respiratory disorders.
Consider the following three scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Ms. Teel brings in her 7-month-old infant for evaluation. She is afraid that the baby might have respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) because she seems to be coughing a lot, and Ms. Teel heard that RSV is a common condition for infants. A detailed patient history reveals that the infant has been coughing consistently for several months. It’s never seemed all that bad. Ms. Teel thought it was just a normal thing, but then she read about RSV. Closer evaluation indicates that the infant coughs mostly at night; and, in fact, most nights the baby coughs to some extent. Additionally, Ms. Teel confirms that the infant seems to cough more when she cries. Physical examination reveals an apparently healthy age- and weight-appropriate, 7-month-old infant with breath sounds that are clear to auscultation. The infant’s medical history is significant only for eczema that was actually quite bad a few months back. Otherwise, the only remarkable history is an allergic reaction to amoxicillin that she experienced 3 months ago when she had an ear infection.
Scenario 2:
Kevin is a 6-year-old boy who is brought in for evaluation by his parents. The parents are concerned that he has a really deep cough that he just can’t seem to get over. The history reveals that he was in his usual state of good health until approximately 1 week ago when he developed a profound cough. His parents say that it is deep and sounds like he is barking. He coughs so hard that sometimes he actually vomits. The cough is productive for mucus, but there is no blood in it. Kevin has had a low-grade temperature but nothing really high. His parents do not have a thermometer and don’t know for sure how high it got. His past medical history is negative. He has never had childhood asthma or RSV. His mother says that they moved around a lot in his first 2 years and she is not sure that his immunizations are up to date. She does not have a current vaccination record.
Scenario 3:
Maria is a 36-year-old who presents for evaluation of a cough. She is normally a healthy young lady with no significant medical history. She takes no medications and does not smoke. She reports that she was in her usual state of good health until approximately 3 weeks ago when she developed a “really bad cold.” The cold is characterized by a profound, deep, mucus-produci.
Discussion Racism and PrivilegeIn many societies certain groups p.docxmickietanger
Discussion: Racism and Privilege
In many societies certain groups possess more resources and hold more power than other groups. In some of these societies, racial discrimination and racial tension also exist. While members of the societies may openly acknowledge that unequal distribution of power and racism are present in their society, many fail to examine the complex relationships between privilege and racism. Social workers must understand this complex relationship so they can educate and empower their clients. Empowerment is the cornerstone of social work practice
.
In the book
Black Empowerment,
the author,Barbara Solomon, writes, "Empowerment refers to a process whereby persons who belong to a stigmatized social category throughout their lives can be assisted to develop and increase skills in the exercise of interpersonal influence and the performance of valued social roles" (p. 6).
Empowerment practice is based on a collaborative relationship between worker and client, initiated to promote the client's power through self-actualization, self-determination, and the fulfillment of personal goals (Gutierrez, Parsons, & Cox, 1998). Further, this process includes increasing your clients' awareness of the structural oppression that exists and its impact on them. It is the role of social workers to empower clients and to bring about awareness of the inequalities that exist in society. This is done two fold—through work with clients on the micro and mezzo levels and on a macro level through work in organizations and communities.
Social workers cannot effectively empower clients without first understanding the mechanisms of oppression and how they impact their day-to-day work. Then social workers can recognize the impact on their clients' lives and apply the appropriate skills.
To prepare: Review the case study "Working With Individuals: The Case of Mary."
Post by Day 3
an explanation of the relationship between racism and privilege. Furthermore, explain how the concepts of racism and privilege relate to "Working With Individuals: The Case of Mary." Explain the impact of racism and privilege on social work practice. Provide recommendations for how you as a social worker might use an empowerment perspective when responding to Mary. Be specific and provide examples from the case. Also, identify specific skills social workers might employ.

Discussion QuestionsUser-interface design techniques and human-com.docxmickietanger
Discussion Questions
User-interface design techniques and human-computer interaction (HCI) evolved from studies of human interaction with machines. The field of human factors was first associated with engineering, as engineers designed machines. However, engineers used precise specifications and predictable behavior and often found the human factor frustrating. Dialogs are used to define a menu hierarchy that allows the user to navigate to each dialog. Each dialog is based on a use case documented early during the inception phase that is classified as requiring a user interface. Discuss the following questions:
What are dialog designs?
Within an iteration, can analysis and design activities occur simultaneously?
Why or why not?
How does a developer know when to do analysis and when to do design?
The definition of interface design standards states that “general principles and rules must be followed….”
Do user interface design standards restrict creativity?
Many researchers create analysis and design techniques that place the user interface at the center of the development process because they recognize the importance of the user interface to system developers and users alike. Complete the following assignment:

Discussion Foundational Pioneers in InformaticsThe smartphone has.docx
1. Discussion: Foundational Pioneers in Informatics
The smartphone has become an increasingly valuable tool in the
field of medicine. Because of the phone’s small size and
powerful computing capabilities, doctors, nurses, and
researchers use these smartphones in a wide range of areas. For
example, smartphones can be used as an electrocardiogram, to
perform ultrasound procedures, to track patient progress, and as
a decision support tool for generating diagnoses (Ozdalga,
Ozdalga & Ahuja, 2012). Like most innovative technologies, the
smartphone and its applications are a result of many years of
incremental research and development.
