The HITECH legislation provides incentives to healthcare organizations to adopt electronic health records (EHRs) and demonstrate meaningful use of health information technology. To qualify for EHR incentives, organizations must show that the technology improves quality, safety, efficiency and reduces health disparities. It must also engage patients, improve care coordination and population health. The legislation aims to increase adoption of EHRs while protecting patient privacy. However, meeting meaningful use criteria can be challenging for some organizations. The incentives have increased EHR adoption but ensuring meaningful use that improves care quality remains a work in progress.

Nursing and Health Care Informatics Ethics and the LawW.docx
Nursing and Health Care Informatics Ethics and the Law
"Whatever, in connection with my professional service, or not in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret."
—Confidentiality excerpt from the Hippocratic Oath (as cited in Croll, 2010)
Traditional schools of medicine have a ritual of reciting oath excerpts such as the one above during their graduation ceremonies. Such excerpts usually revolve around a professional’s promise to uphold the ideals of patient safety and confidentiality to the best of his or her ability.
With the continued integration of Health Information Technology (HIT), and advances in technology such as hand-held computers, new ethical considerations have evolved within health care settings. For example, wireless capabilities can provide easier access to information from unauthorized outside parties. While technological advances have led to improvements in health care, they have also created new vulnerabilities. Doctorally prepared nurses need to be aware of ethical issues surrounding the use of patient information, technology, and the respective liabilities.

Studies in Health Technology and Informatics, 151,
167–175.
To prepare:
Reflect on this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the ethical and legal issues associated with usage of data and health information.
For this Discussion, identify an ethical issue related to data collection or information management at your organization or one with which you are familiar.
Determine the potential liabilities that this ethical issue presents by reviewing the AMIA Code of Ethics.
Consider the legal aspects of your ethical issue and the steps that could be taken to avoid or minimize risk.
By tomorrow Wednesday 09/27/17, 12 pm, write a minimum of 550 words essay in APA format with a minimum of 3 references from the list in the instructions area. Include the level one headings as numbered below:
post
a cohesive response that addresses the following:
1) Describe your selected ethical issue (example of ethical issues in nursing Informatics are:
Ethical Use of Genomic Information and Electronic Medical Records, Alarm Fatigue, Privacy, Confidentiality, and Data Sharing
). Choose one!
2) Analyze the potential liabilities that this issue poses to the organization by referencing the AMIA Code of Ethics.
3) Formulate strategies that the organization could implement to address the ethical issue.

Nursing and Health Care Informatics Ethics and the Law
"Whatever, in connection with my professional service, or not in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret."
—Confidentiality excerpt from the Hippocratic Oath (as cited in Croll, 2010)
Traditional schools of medicine have a ritual of reciting oath excerpts such as the one above during their graduation ceremonies. Such excerpts usually revolve around a professional’s promise to uphold the ideals of patient safety and confidentiality to the best of his or her ability.
With the continued integration of Health Information Technology (HIT), and advances in technology such as hand-held computers, new ethical considerations have evolved within health care settings. For example, wireless capabilities can provide easier access to information from unauthorized outside parties. While technological advances have led to improvements in health care, they have also created new vulnerabilities. Doctorally prepared nurses need to be aware of ethical issues surrounding the use of patient information, technology, and the respective liabilities.

Unintended Consequences of Health Care ReformThe PPACA of .docx
Unintended Consequences of Health Care Reform
The PPACA of 2010 fostered new provisions for health care and the structure of health care delivery. The individual mandate to obtain insurance is one provocative provision. While this provision attempts to increase access to health care, it raises questions on how the existing system could sustain the potentially large influx of newly insured individuals.
Another provision calls for new models of health care provider organizations to ensure delivery efficiency and continuity of care. In this week’s media presentation, Dr. Kathleen White discusses the accountable care organization, which comprises a group of providers coordinating care across a variety of institutional settings. Yet becoming an accountable care organization may present a number of challenges.
This week’s Discussion builds on Week 1, continuing the examination of those societal and organizational contexts that influence health care reform. The unintended consequences of reform policy on the health care system are also considered.
To prepare:
Review this week’s media presentation and the other Learning Resources focusing on how reform may lead to improved quality, greater access, and reduced cost of care. Also think about the unintended consequences that may arise as a result.
Consider the information presented about the individual mandate and accountable care organizations. What are some questions or concerns you might have regarding the individual mandate? What are the pros and cons associated with becoming an accountable care organization?
With posting instructions in mind, select either the individual mandate or accountable care organizations as the focus of your Discussion this week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are the director of strategic communication for a non-profit suburban community hospital. The CEO has asked you to prepare a 3-7 page briefing paper that answers the following questions posed by the Board of Directors:
What does the US government mean by the concept “meaningful use?” How do myriad HIT systems support each other? Or do they?
Due End of Week 4.
1. Explain Gov’t term: “meaningful Use”; (15 points)
2. What US HIT systems have Problems and WHY? (25 points)
3. What Changes are needed in US HIT Systems? (25 points)
4. What HIT Strategy Steps are needed BY Hospital? (25 points)
5. Grammar, Referencing, Page Restrictions (10 points)
Evaluate U.S. HIT
Compare with that of other advanced nations? What contributes to this?
U.S HIT is behind when compared to other developed countries in the world. According to Davis, Stremikis, Squires, and Schoen (2014), “other countries have led in the adoption of modern health information systems, but U.S. physicians and hospitals are catching up as they respond to significant financial incentives to adopt and make meaningful use of health information technology systems.” What baffled me the most is that the U.S healthcare system remains the most expensive in the world and there is nothing to show for the high cost when compared to performance rating with other developed nations. The U.S remains at the bottom when it comes to healthcare performance in terms of quality care, access, efficiency, equity, and healthy lives (Davis et al., 2014).
I believe our government is to be blamed for poor HIT advancement in the U.S. This is because the U.S government is ten years late in making HIT a national major concern to support and invest in. I was surprised to find out that the U.S is one of the first nations in the world to fund and use HIT. So the question is how did end on the back bench when it comes to HIT advancement. Sullivan, Watkins, Sweet, and Ramsey (2009) reports that most of the early initiatives such as government funding and policies put in place to foster the growth of HIT have been either changed or stopped as a result of political, financial, and commercial pressures. “A National Center for .

Assignment 1: Legal Aspects of U.S. Health Care System Administration
Due Week 3 and worth 200 points
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge of the various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care administrators must potentially interact with many levels of professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that they be aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also subject to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of their professional interactions and be mindful of the implications and ramifications of their decisions.
Nearly 65 million surgical operations were performed in 2015 in the U.S. resulting in an estimated 200,000 deaths from complications or other post-operative issues (Ghaferi, Myers, Sutcliffe, & Pronovost, 2016). Ongoing innovation in healthcare can improve patient outcomes. According to the Harvard Business Review article, The Next Wave of Hospital Innovation to Make Patients Safer, over the past several decades, there have been three distinct waves of surgical improvement: technical advancements, standardizing procedures, and high reliability organizing.
Assume the role of a top health administrator at We Care Hospital. You are interested in propelling the hospital to the next level by applying for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. However, you want to ensure surgical outcomes for patient morbidity and mortality rates. You begin by researching the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) aimed to improve adherence to quality protocols. You need to ensure the hospital policy is consistent with the law and that the hospital is correctly reporting Sentinel Events to the Joint Commission, a hospital regulatory agency.
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. Analyze how standardizing procedures and documenting steps can improve outcomes when performing a complex procedure. Review the peer-reviewed journal article, The Next Wave of Hospital Innovation to Make Patients Safer. Articulate your position as the top administrator concerned about the importance of professional conduct and negligence in SCIP quality guidelines.
2. High Reliability Organizing emphasizes the varying actions that can affect patient safety given that standardized systems ignore the fact that each patient is different. Ascertain the major ramifications when the health care team “fails to rescue” the patient. Identify what hospital policies should be in place and identify previous case laws.
3. Analyze the four (4) elements required of a plaintiff to prove medical negligence.
4. Discuss the overarching duties of the health care governing board in mitigating the effects of medical non- ...

HITECH Legislation
In order for organizations to receive the incentives offered through the HITECH legislation, they must be able to demonstrate that they are using the technology in meaningful ways. The following criteria for meaningful use must be evident to qualify for EHR incentives (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2012). The technology must:
Improve quality, safety, and efficiency, and reduce health disparities
Engage patients and families
Improve care coordination
Improve population and public health
Ensure adequate privacy and security protections for personal health information
For this Discussion you consider the impact of the meaningful use criteria of the HITECH legislation on the adoption of health information technology.
To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources on the HITECH legislation and its primary goals.
Reflect on the positive and negative impact this legislation has had on your organization or one with which you are familiar.

One of the most important modern healthcare information regulati.docx
One of the most important modern healthcare information regulations of the current generation is the 1996 regulatory act called Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) (Security, 2019). Over the years, many amendments were made to HIPAA, and in 2009 congress updated HIPAA with the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) (Security, 2019). While HIPAA was intended for several beneficial purposes like making health insurance affordable and protecting patient data, loopholes in the act were being exploited by several parties and the electronic systems that were suggested to be incorporated into medical services were being ignored (Security, 2019). Thus, the HITECH act was proposed to pinch off the loopholes and to incentivize healthcare services to adopt the electronic health record (EHR) system.
To understand why HIPAA and HITECH acts were developed in the first place, it is first important to acknowledge that the healthcare service industry has both economic and political dimensions. HITECH is a government incentive program encouraging physicians to implement electronic health records (Security, 2019). This industry-wide EHR adoption incentive program costs the congress billions of dollars every year. The act uses financial incentives to not just encourage physicians to adopt EHR, but to adopt EHR certified by the government (Security, 2019). While electronic records have been used since the 1960s (although only sparingly), the widespread use of computers in the 1990s tipped the government to consider implementing a widespread adoption of an EHR that could help in the recording and exchange of clinical information (Security, 2019). Even by the year 2009, only a few doctors had adopted the digital capabilities of the information age to record and share medical information, with most of them still holding on to the use of paper to record and share information (Security, 2019). Thus, one of the main reasons behind the enforcement of EHR was the many-fold increase in efficiency provided by EHR.
In fact, the Obama administration, in 2009, even decided to spend billions of dollars to stimulate EHR adoption, and help guide physicians from the inefficiencies of a paper-based to protect patient privacy and improve health outcomes (EHR Meaningful Use Criteria, n.d.). Qualified professionals are eligible to receive up to $44,000 over five years in Medicare incentives and upto $64,000 in Medicaid incentives (EHR Meaningful Use Criteria, n.d.). However, any physician or healthcare service who waits could not only lose out but also get hit with penalties (Security, 2019). Typically, a physician has to prove that he uses a certified EHR system and demonstrate a “meaningful use” criteria of EHR use (Security, 2019). Each provider has to meet this comprehensive “meaningful use” criteria which break down into five big goals. And if even one aspect of this goal is not met by the physic.

Health Care Reform: Overview
When it comes to healthcare in America, we seem to believe that more is better--but does more healthcare result in better health? As a nation, we spend more on healthcare per person than any European country, yet our health outcomes are worse. The PBS documentary, Money and Medicine was aired in 2012, and addresses one of the key issues of healthcare reform--the cost of health care.

The Affordable Care Act
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), passed in 2010, is a collection of laws that were created to reform health insurance and healthcare.
The ACA significantly impacts nurses both personally and professionally. Bedside nurses are impacted by organizational changes that affect patient care, and may be providing information and resources to patients and caregivers about the ACA. However, as Hynds, Hatch and Samuels (2014) noted, nurses indicate they need more knowledge to understand the ACA policy implications of their practice.
Now, you can either read the 974 pages of the law itself, or you can watch this short, animated video produced by the Kaiser Family Foundation, and visit the helpful online resources below:

I believe our government is to be blamed for poor HIT advancement in the U.S. This is because the U.S government is ten years late in making HIT a national major concern to support and invest in. I was surprised to find out that the U.S is one of the first nations in the world to fund and use HIT. So the question is how did end on the back bench when it comes to HIT advancement. Sullivan, Watkins, Sweet, and Ramsey (2009) reports that most of the early initiatives such as government funding and policies put in place to foster the growth of HIT have been either changed or stopped as a result of political, financial, and commercial pressures. “A National Center for .

Assignment 1: Legal Aspects of U.S. Health Care System Administration
Due Week 3 and worth 200 points
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge of the various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care administrators must potentially interact with many levels of professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that they be aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also subject to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of their professional interactions and be mindful of the implications and ramifications of their decisions.
Nearly 65 million surgical operations were performed in 2015 in the U.S. resulting in an estimated 200,000 deaths from complications or other post-operative issues (Ghaferi, Myers, Sutcliffe, & Pronovost, 2016). Ongoing innovation in healthcare can improve patient outcomes. According to the Harvard Business Review article, The Next Wave of Hospital Innovation to Make Patients Safer, over the past several decades, there have been three distinct waves of surgical improvement: technical advancements, standardizing procedures, and high reliability organizing.
Assume the role of a top health administrator at We Care Hospital. You are interested in propelling the hospital to the next level by applying for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. However, you want to ensure surgical outcomes for patient morbidity and mortality rates. You begin by researching the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) aimed to improve adherence to quality protocols. You need to ensure the hospital policy is consistent with the law and that the hospital is correctly reporting Sentinel Events to the Joint Commission, a hospital regulatory agency.
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. Analyze how standardizing procedures and documenting steps can improve outcomes when performing a complex procedure. Review the peer-reviewed journal article, The Next Wave of Hospital Innovation to Make Patients Safer. Articulate your position as the top administrator concerned about the importance of professional conduct and negligence in SCIP quality guidelines.
2. High Reliability Organizing emphasizes the varying actions that can affect patient safety given that standardized systems ignore the fact that each patient is different. Ascertain the major ramifications when the health care team “fails to rescue” the patient. Identify what hospital policies should be in place and identify previous case laws.
3. Analyze the four (4) elements required of a plaintiff to prove medical negligence.
4. Discuss the overarching duties of the health care governing board in mitigating the effects of medical non- ...

One of the most important modern healthcare information regulati.docx
One of the most important modern healthcare information regulations of the current generation is the 1996 regulatory act called Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) (Security, 2019). Over the years, many amendments were made to HIPAA, and in 2009 congress updated HIPAA with the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) (Security, 2019). While HIPAA was intended for several beneficial purposes like making health insurance affordable and protecting patient data, loopholes in the act were being exploited by several parties and the electronic systems that were suggested to be incorporated into medical services were being ignored (Security, 2019). Thus, the HITECH act was proposed to pinch off the loopholes and to incentivize healthcare services to adopt the electronic health record (EHR) system.
To understand why HIPAA and HITECH acts were developed in the first place, it is first important to acknowledge that the healthcare service industry has both economic and political dimensions. HITECH is a government incentive program encouraging physicians to implement electronic health records (Security, 2019). This industry-wide EHR adoption incentive program costs the congress billions of dollars every year. The act uses financial incentives to not just encourage physicians to adopt EHR, but to adopt EHR certified by the government (Security, 2019). While electronic records have been used since the 1960s (although only sparingly), the widespread use of computers in the 1990s tipped the government to consider implementing a widespread adoption of an EHR that could help in the recording and exchange of clinical information (Security, 2019). Even by the year 2009, only a few doctors had adopted the digital capabilities of the information age to record and share medical information, with most of them still holding on to the use of paper to record and share information (Security, 2019). Thus, one of the main reasons behind the enforcement of EHR was the many-fold increase in efficiency provided by EHR.
In fact, the Obama administration, in 2009, even decided to spend billions of dollars to stimulate EHR adoption, and help guide physicians from the inefficiencies of a paper-based to protect patient privacy and improve health outcomes (EHR Meaningful Use Criteria, n.d.). Qualified professionals are eligible to receive up to $44,000 over five years in Medicare incentives and upto $64,000 in Medicaid incentives (EHR Meaningful Use Criteria, n.d.). However, any physician or healthcare service who waits could not only lose out but also get hit with penalties (Security, 2019). Typically, a physician has to prove that he uses a certified EHR system and demonstrate a “meaningful use” criteria of EHR use (Security, 2019). Each provider has to meet this comprehensive “meaningful use” criteria which break down into five big goals. And if even one aspect of this goal is not met by the physic.

Health Care Reform: Overview
When it comes to healthcare in America, we seem to believe that more is better--but does more healthcare result in better health? As a nation, we spend more on healthcare per person than any European country, yet our health outcomes are worse. The PBS documentary, Money and Medicine was aired in 2012, and addresses one of the key issues of healthcare reform--the cost of health care. Watch the trailer below, or the entire episode here: http://video.pbs.org/video/2283573727/

The Affordable Care Act
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), passed in 2010, is a collection of laws that were created to reform health insurance and healthcare.
The ACA significantly impacts nurses both personally and professionally. Bedside nurses are impacted by organizational changes that affect patient care, and may be providing information and resources to patients and caregivers about the ACA. However, as Hynds, Hatch and Samuels (2014) noted, nurses indicate they need more knowledge to understand the ACA policy implications of their practice.
Now, you can either read the 974 pages of the law itself, or you can watch this short, animated video produced by the Kaiser Family Foundation, and visit the helpful online resources below:
