An EMR or Electronic Medical Record is a computerized version of a patient's medical record that replaces the traditional paper chart. It contains the same types of information as a physical chart such as patient demographics, medical history, medications, and insurance information, but stores it digitally, allowing multiple providers to access it simultaneously. While EMRs provide benefits like increased accessibility of patient information and continuity of care, they also present challenges to implement including technical issues, training staff, and usability problems. Overall though, EMRs are helping to reduce medical errors and improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery compared to paper record systems.
Electronic Medical Record
Electronic medical records (EMRs) are paperless systems used to document patient information electronically. This helps reduce errors and coordinate care by keeping all patient data together in one place. EMRs can save costs by reducing duplicate tests and paper usage, and protect lives by decreasing medical errors and improving documentation and medication dosing. There are different types of EMRs, including administrative systems for security and login, clerical systems for billing and records, and clinical systems for medical histories, test results, and documentation. Implementing EMRs takes planning, costs, and staff training over many years as different areas transition from paper to electronic records. The goal is for EMRs to become the standard across all healthcare facilities,

This document discusses a proposed hospital patient data transfer system that would allow medical staff to more quickly and easily transfer patient test results and images between hospitals connected via the National Broadband Network. The system would use a virtual private network for security while electronically transferring records instead of manual transfer. Potential benefits include saving lives in emergency situations by reducing the time it takes to transfer important data, while potential risks include security hacks, system failures, and usability issues that would need to be addressed.
Electronic Medical Record
An electronic medical record is a secure electronic file that contains a patient's complete medical history, records, billing information, and other details. It carries more information than traditional paper records and can manage data from multiple offices and account types. Electronic medical records make the medical coding process faster by providing quick access to a patient's entire history in one place so coders can complete their work efficiently. However, concerns about privacy and protecting sensitive patient information have increased with more widespread use of electronic records.

CASE STUDY 9
ST. LUKE'S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
Hospitals have been some of the earliest adopters of wireless local area
networks (WLANs). The clinician user population is typically mobile and
spread out across a number of buildings, with a need to enter and access
data in real time. St. Luke's Episcopal Health System in Houston, Texas
(www.stlukestexas.com) is a good example of a hospital that has made
effective use wireless technologies to streamline clinical work processes.
Their wireless network is distributed throughout several hospital buildings
and is used in many different applications. The majority of the St. Luke’s
staff uses wireless devices to access data in real-time, 24 hours a day.
Examples include the following:
• Diagnosing patients and charting their progress: Doctors and
nurses use wireless laptops and tablet PCs to track and chart patient
care data.
• Prescriptions: Medications are dispensed from a cart that is wheeled
from room to room. Clinician uses a wireless scanner to scan the
patient's ID bracelet. If a prescription order has been changed or
cancelled, the clinician will know immediately because the mobile device
displays current patient data.

• Critical care units: These areas use the WLAN because running hard
wires would mean moving ceiling panels. The dust and microbes that
such work stirs up would pose a threat to patients.
• Case management: The case managers in the Utilization Management
Department use the WLAN to document patient reviews, insurance
calls/authorization information, and denial information. The wireless
session enables real time access to information that ensures the correct
level of care for a patient and/or timely discharge.
• Blood management: Blood management is a complex process that
involves monitoring both patients and blood products during all stages of
a treatment process. To ensure that blood products and patients are
matched correctly, St. Luke’s uses a wireless bar code sca.

CASE STUDY 9
ST. LUKE'S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
Hospitals have been some of the earliest adopters of wireless local area
networks (WLANs). The clinician user population is typically mobile and
spread out across a number of buildings, with a need to enter and access
data in real time. St. Luke's Episcopal Health System in Houston, Texas
(www.stlukestexas.com) is a good example of a hospital that has made
effective use wireless technologies to streamline clinical work processes.
Their wireless network is distributed throughout several hospital buildings
and is used in many different applications. The majority of the St. Luke’s
staff uses wireless devices to access data in real-time, 24 hours a day.
Examples include the following:
• Diagnosing patients and charting their progress: Doctors and
nurses use wireless laptops and tablet PCs to track and chart patient
care data.
• Prescriptions: Medications are dispensed from a cart that is wheeled
from room to room. Clinician uses a wireless scanner to scan the
patient's ID bracelet. If a prescription order has been changed or
cancelled, the clinician will know immediately because the mobile device
displays current patient data.

• Critical care units: These areas use the WLAN because running hard
wires would mean moving ceiling panels. The dust and microbes that
such work stirs up would pose a threat to patients.
• Case management: The case managers in the Utilization Management
Department use the WLAN to document patient reviews, insurance
calls/authorization information, and denial information. The wireless
session enables real time access to information that ensures the correct
level of care for a patient and/or timely discharge.
• Blood management: Blood management is a complex process that
involves monitoring both patients and blood products during all stages of
a treatment process. To ensure that blood products and patients are
matched correctly, St. Luke’s uses a wireless bar code sca.

Answer two questions.
1. Cultural Differences Concerning Privacy. How are French attitudes towards private space and private behaviors different from those of Americans and/or your home/heritage culture(s)?
2. Frenchness and Diversity. In Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong, N-B ask us to consider the fact that the most obvious characteristic the French share with their geography is diversity. To underline their point, they recall the famous question of President Charles De Gaulle from an interview with Newsweek in 1961: "How can anyone govern a country that has 246 kinds of cheese?" (p. 21) Comment on the paradox that the outside world holds a rather singular image of "Frenchness" while inside the French embrace ethnic identities that connect them to the regions of their origin.
3. The Term Aborigine. How might the term aborigine help understand the customs, beliefs and attitudes of people living in France today? To what degree is the term a useful concept or metaphor for illustrating differences between North American and French mentalities, given that the archaeological discoveries in France and Europe are so much more ancient than in the Americas?
4. Who is José Bové? In what ways does the anecdote of José Bové illustrate how the French come across as anti-American or against globalization? Check out Bové (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. on the Internet. To what extent is he just a simple French farmer from Larzac?

Tim is the project manager for a team developing a hospital patient data transfer system to improve efficiency. The system would allow medical staff to more quickly access patient data across Australia's approximately 1,400 public hospitals, which are currently connected via manual runners. Potential benefits include saving lives by reducing time spent transferring data and increasing convenience for patients and staff. Key risks include security, system failures or hacks, and loss of data, though regular backups and alternative temporary manual processes could mitigate these risks. User training and testing will help ensure quality.

ELEC-621 Information Theory and Coding, Spring 2018
Lab 2 – Huffman Coding
Huffman Tree:
• Finish the Python code for determining the Huffman Tree for the English alphabet. Your code
needs to work for any probability distribution. For example, your code should work for the
alphabet of another language too. The algorithm you need to implement is the same algorithm
in the tutorial of Lab 1. Letters have to be sorted in ascending order of probabilities. The two
least probable letters are combined into one tree where the two letters are the only leaf nodes,
and the parent node is a new symbol whose probability is the addition of the probabilities of the
two letters. The two letters are removed from the list of letters, and the new symbol is added to
the list making sure that the list is still sorted in ascending order of probabilities. This process is
repeated until there is only one symbol left in the list. This symbol is the root of the Huffman
tree.
• Update the list of letters with the space character. For example, the text “hello world” has one
space between letters “o” and “w”. You can find the frequency of the space character online.
The space character is more frequent than the letter of higher frequency, “e”.

level of care for a patient and/or timely discharge.
• Blood management: Blood management is a complex process that
involves monitoring both patients and blood products during all stages of
a treatment process. To ensure that blood products and patients are
matched correctly, St. Luke’s uses a wireless bar code scanning process
that involves scanning both patient and blood product bar codes during
the infusion process. This enables clinicians to confirm patient and blood
product identification before proceeding with treatment.
• Nutrition and diet: Dietary service representatives collect patient
menus at each nursing unit and enter them as they go. This allows more
menus to be submitted before the cutoff time, giving more patients
more choice. The dietitian can also see current patient information, such
as supplement or tube feeding data, and view what the patient actually
received for a certain meal.
• Mobile x-ray and neurologic units: St. Luke’s has implemented the
wireless network infrastructure necessary to enable doctors and
clinicians to use mobile x-ray and neurologic scanning units. This makes
it possible to take x-rays or to perform neurological ...

King County Medic One ALS Study
The document is a study from the Paramedic Foundation analyzing the optimal configuration of advanced life support (ALS) agencies in King County, Washington. It finds that consolidating agencies could reduce costs and increase efficiency. Specifically, operating more medic units per agency reduces costs per response, transport, and capita. The optimal configuration from a financial perspective is a single countywide ALS agency, though political and operational challenges exist. Formal changes to agency boundaries should follow a transparent process involving stakeholders.

This evolving presentation describes my dissertation research project. It will continue to change in time, until I'm done!
Finding The Answers That Are Right Under Your Feet
As an EMS executive, keeping up with the burden of requirements for contractual reasons or accountability while preparing your operation for the future has your time stretched thin. With so much of your organization geared towards collecting and reporting information to others, finding the time and responsive tools for your own internal benchmarking and performance improvement can be a challenge. Furthermore, with new national performance standards coming, combined with the pressures on your existing operation, performance improvement driven by your internal data may seem daunting. This talk looks at the potential that executives have today to harness the data in their organization and transform it into information that highlights the areas of friction in your organization. Nick Nudell will share his insights on some of the various analytical tools and methods that EMS executives can use today track their clinical, operational, and safety performance in real time today for actionable positive change in their organization.

This will lead to unprecedented capability for local EMS agencies, systems, regions and states to assess conditions and embark on widespread improvement.
Ekg club repolarization
The heart is electrically controlled and pumps blood in a coordinated sequence of contraction and relaxation. During contraction, the inside of the heart contracts inward and longitudinally, then the outside twists. Relaxation occurs in the mostly opposite sequence, with the outside of the heart untwisting first before the inside relaxes from the basal to apical regions. Electrically, depolarization occurs from the inside out while repolarization follows from the outside in, coordinating the mechanical sequences of the heart.
Pandemic Response For Rural EMS

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Hiranandani Hospital Powai News [Read Now].pdf

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
