Information technology has greatly improved healthcare by facilitating the use of EMRs and improving interoperability. This allows for continued patient care across different healthcare systems. The adoption of EHRs was further encouraged by the HITECH Act of 2009 which rewarded providers using EHRs. The collection and analysis of patient data through EHRs and other technologies has helped identify at-risk groups and reduce falls in one hospital. Remote monitoring cameras and low beds were implemented based on this data analysis to prevent falls and injuries among high-risk elderly patients on medications affecting balance. Health information technology benefits both patients and providers by improving access to records and communication between care teams.

Information technology has improved the healthcare system especially with the use of
EMR’s, since the use of them helps improve interoperability thus helping patients with
continuation of care, providing information to other providers across different
systems. Long gone are the days when we write notes by hand and orders are placed in
patients charts with illegible handwriting. In 2009 President Obama signed the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act which Includes the Health Information and Technology
Economic Clinical Health Act which rewarded providers that used EHRs and penalized the
ones that did not use it which prevented the patient’s continuity of care in the healthcare
settings. (Sweeney 2017).The benefit of using health technology is especially beneficial
when collecting data to improve certain markers for instance falls. Falls in my healthcare
setting has improved since the gathering of information as to why patients fall, and who is
the population that tends to fall more often, and how to prevent them from falling in the
first place. Data indicated that usually these are patients who are 65 and older on blood
pressure medication and blood thinners are the ones that tend to fall, this data was
gathered from fall assessments and patient’s EHRs, so the hospital decided to invest in what
they call low beds and remote monitored cameras which observes patients that are
confused and at risk for falling, the low bed improves the risk of injuries and the camera
prevents the fall by redirecting patients at risk for falls. Without these the hospital will
encounter a great financial burden with patients falls with injuries, since if a patient
fractures or hurts themselves the insurance company will not pay for the injury it is the
institution sole responsibility. Having information technology is more of a benefit than a
burden, since it improves communication for not only patients who have instant access to
their medical records providing them with the autonomy of their information, but it also
shows great evidence-based practice that it helps with communication from one provider to
other providers thus improving patient care across a multidisciplinary setting. Nurses also
benefit from information technology since data is stored and they are able to actually see
patients’ information from different encounters both inpatient and outpatient. The ANA
identifies nursing informatics as “a specialty that integrates, nursing, science, computer
science, information science to communicate data, information and knowledge in nursing
practice.” (ANA, 2001, pg.17).Reference:McGonigle, D., & Mastrian, K. G. (2022). Nursing

Healthcare system presently is faced with challenges to improving quality of care and controlling costs and according to the Institute of Medicine, electronic health records (EHR) serve as a solution to these challenges (2001). The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) passed by President Barack Obama promotes the adaptation of EHR system by providing health organizations and providers with incentives through Medicare and Medicaid for meaningful utilization of EHR systems (McGonigle&Mastrian, 2017). Technology in nursing has evolved and transformed the way nurses work and continues to grow, along with the role’s nurses play in today’s health care environment (Melissa Wirkus, 2016).For many years the paper chat served as the patient’s primary medical records such as medical histories, medical diagnosis, medications, and other pertinent patient information. In the future, an expected healthcare technology trend in nursing practice will be a significant increase in the use of the Electronic health record (EHR) instead of the traditional paper charting As technology continues to grow so does additional information technology that helps caregivers, engage patients and improve efficiencies and better patient outcomes (Laureate Education, 2018). For example, patients can now have access to their medical health records at their own convenient through online portals and can effectively communicate with their health care provider. In addition, patients are also using social media platforms like Facebook and twitter to get/communicate with others with the same health-related diagnosis.
According to McGonigle & Mastrain “Public health information systems represent a partnership of federal, state, and local public health professionals” (2017). In the present-day majority of health care organizations are embracing the implementation of electronic health records. In the hospital I work, we are making use of the Meditech operating system. Patient medical histories, diagnosis, home medications, and current medications are updated and readily available. During patient’s hospital stay, all health care providers can log in with their personal access codes to document as well as view patients’ labs, patient notes, care plans and so on. More so, one intriguing benefit for the patients is during the patient’s hospital stay and at discharge, patients are educated about our patient portal where they can easily log in to look up their personal medical records.
Potential Risk/ Challenge Associated with data Safety.
A potential risk associated with data and or technology safety is the lack of patient confidentiality. For example, when a nurse who is from a different unit assesses patient medical records they took care of three days before, that is considered a.

After reading all 4 scenarios for primary care, by 2025 and reading several articles. I believe the U.S. healthcare system will represent scenarios 1 and scenarios 4 due to the rapid changes in technology. With the electronic health records (EHR) and new technologies emerging this will improve quality of care, while reducing cost, and by allowing patients to monitor, record, and participate in their own preventive care, progress, and which will produce better outcome for each individual needs (Ginter, P.M.; Duncan, W.J.; Swayne, L.E. 2013). New technology will make it easier for patients to address their questions and concern by phone or online access to their physician directly.
Based on today’s issue due to cuts in the federal health care spending, Medicare restricting payments to hospitals that perform sufficient amount of surgical procedures where this is known to result in better outcomes, and the global debit crisis which has put the country in a recession with healthcare being hit the harder due to millions of Americans are still uninsured, employees are paying higher premium and out of pocket for health care has contributed to the lack of affordable health insurance, and high quality of care (Ward, M.; Daniels, S.A.; Walker. G.J.; and Duckett, S. 2007).
Even though physicians are more likely to receive a financial incentive for improving on the quality of care while controlling the volume of service they provide and deliver (Ward, M.: Daniels, S.A.; Walker, G.J.; and Duckett, S. 2007).
In my scenarios in health care in 2025 will be due to people are starting to live, longer, and healthy lives due to becoming more involved in their own preventive care by changing their eating habits and exercising more. I believe within the next 10 to 15 years that majority of Americans will receive free preventive maintain services; safer hospitals; ability to access their own medical records; more affordable health care with lower increases in insurance premiums; more information about prices on diagnosis codes, procedures codes, and quality of care (Ezekiel, E. 2014). With Electronic health records (EHR) and new technology emerging with be a major tool in helping patients monitor their own blood pressure, glucose levels, and participate more in their own health care while increasing patient contact by phone, email, or online with their personal physicians without having to wait for hours for a response. There concerns can be addressed more quickly.

The Application of Data to Problem-Solving PEER RESPONSES
PEER NUMBER 1: Luis Arencibia
Top of Form
Clinical data is fundamental in the medical field. It is from this data that change and efficiency are made possible. Clinical data forms the basis of clinical care given to patients and research studies and is also used by the administration for decision-making and influencing change (Deckro et al., 2021). Modernization has come up with better ways of processing and storing clinical data, popularly known as informatics. This has led to the increased utilization of computers and information technology in clinical data management. The informatics results have increased efficiency in managing patients' data (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2022). It is crucial to ensure proper data management because it is from clinical data that crucial decisions and problems are solved in healthcare.
An example of a scenario where data can be helpful in problem-solving is the case where a healthcare facility wants to determine the average number of patients they receive in a day and use that information to establish whether the staff to patient ratio is satisfactory. This data can be obtained by registering all patients who attend the facility for a certain period, for example, three months, and stored electronically. The average is then done to get the approximate number of clients in a day. Additionally, the data should capture the age of patients, significant complaints, and the departments where the patients were attended. It is vital to secure this data to avoid unauthorized access to promote patients' privacy and compliance with the HIPAA to avoid legal consequences.
The knowledge derived from the data described above is the number of patients visiting the facility and their health needs. From this, the healthcare center will be able to critically analyze and evaluate whether the facility's staffing and resources are enough to meet the patients' demands. Suppose the number of patients is higher compared to the resources. In that case, the facility will be able to tell there is a shortage and the staff is being overworked, which is likely to compromise the services given to the patients.
From the data, a nurse leader can use clinical reasoning and judgment to explain why the health facility could be performing less efficiently and not meeting its goal of providing optimum medical services to patients. Additionally, the nurse could judge that the patients are not satisfied with the services provided from the data (Zhu et al., 2019). With that information, a nurse leader can successfully convince the management that there is a need for more staffing and resources to meet the patients' needs more successfully.
In conclusion, data management is crucial in the healthcare practice. With proper informatics, nurses and other healthcare providers will function optimally, and the results will be better quality ...

Role of Health Information Systems in Health Care
In the article, Robert Fichman, Rajiv Kohli, and Ranjani Krishnan discussed the role of the Health Information System in Health Care on the medical, social, and economic points related to the diagnosis providing and financial transactions. The main argument of the article indicates the future indispensability of the IS utilization in Health Care system regarding the optimization of the medical process, which will benefit the medical staff and clients’ recuperation. The authors support the claim stating that the involvement of the IS promotes the reduction of treatment costs caused by the mechanized data recording. Moreover, the adaptation of IS leads to the successful outperformance of the challenges related to the hierarchical nature of healthcare, which implies the physicians’ appropriate implementation of technology for the process of examination, treatment, and rehabilitation program elaboration, which intensifies the adherence of the medical professional to the client-centered orientation. Finally, IS deals with the privacy concern, which presents the obligation of the medical professional to ensure the security of the patient’s data to avoid the leakage of information as the issue of data loss deals with PHI, which can follow the court procedures. Hence, the authors lead to the point that the utilization of the Information Systems will optimize the quality of medical service due to the improvement of the data transfer, diagnosis and treatment program creation, and reduction of the cost of service.
Recommendations
1. According to Fichman, Kohli, and Krishnan (2011), the utilization of IS enhances the risk of patients’ data leakage, which captures media attention and violates security regulations. Regarding the presented perspective the recommendation implies ensuring IS with encryption, which will provide anonymity of the clients’ data and its automatic deletion in case of hacking attack. In this case, addressing the program of the identity based anonymization represents a reasonable solution of the privacy preservation as it encodes and removes patients’ identifiable information from the data set and means that the necessary information is visible for the clients/medical professionals and deleted for the hackers (Abouelmehdi, Beni Hessane, & Khaloufi, 2018).
2. Fichman, Kohli, and Krishnan (2011) state that the medical professionals apply IS during the process of treatment program creation, which aims to enhance patients’ satisfaction. However, the principal challenge of the presented point specifies the necessity of the correct assessment of the clients’ clinical history. Regarding the mentioned perspective, the recommendation means the elaboration of the separate Patient Data Analysis information system. PDA-IS utilizes the query engine, that implies the generation of standard and ad-hoc analytical patient and service-centric queries, which promotes the qualified analysis of the pati ...

Patient care decisions should be supported by timely clinical inform.docx
Patient care decisions should be supported by timely clinical information, reflecting the best evidence possible (Institute of Medicine 2013). Present and future professional nurses must be able to use informatics and technology to facilitate critical decision-making for optimal patient outcomes (Massachusetts Department of Higher Education Nursing Initiative 2016). Nursing clinical informatics competencies involve the collection and use of patient data for analysis and dissemination. Nursing informatics with computer science was established to create innovative ways to provide quality care to our patients. Evidence based practice is a cornerstone to making NI better for the future. Without EBP there would be no such thing.
What I see for the future is that technology would be expanding at a faster rate. There would be less hands on and more robotics. What I mean by this is that robots would be administering meds at the bedside, documenting task, and even doing patient consults. I believe that this would be in the near future to come because it would cut the need for nursing staff in half and it would be cost effective for the company. The only thing that would be the downfall to this is that robots do not pose interpersonal skills so patient questions would go unanswered and in would block the communication to building a rapport. We have already advanced to telemedicine which in some cases can be beneficial to the patient being seen by the physician.
Another thing that would probably be good for the up and coming future would be if we could use the pyxis like we use Alexa and Siri. If we could give them voice commands where it could dispense patient medications that are due just by giving the first and last name of the patient would cut down on the time spent pulling meds. Instead of your taking 30mins to 1 hour pulling meds could just take about 15 to 20 mins. Modern technology is advancing so much that some of us cannot not keep up with the new demands of the workplace. In nursing we are always learning new things and we must continue to learn as we advance in our careers in order to be successful. New media offer new possibilities in teaching and learning. However, the appropriation of new knowledge and skills in dealing with technology, especially for older adults, is a critical challenge. This needs to be considered against the background of the digital divide. Which describes, among other things, the lack of information on the ability of older adults to use technology among those who have access to ICTs and new media in healthcare. In conclusion informatics will be changing for the better.

Big Data Risks and Rewards
Big data is defined as the process of collecting, analyzing, and leveraging consumer patient, physical, and clinical data that is too vast or complex to be understood by traditional means of data processing. In healthcare, data is generated from medical records, patient portals, government agencies, research studies, electronic health records, and medical devices. The data generated in healthcare is used to make decisions that will have an impact on patient health outcomes (Raghupathi & Raghupathi, 2014). Healthcare is a critical docket in our society since it is tasked with a duty to prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses and diseases affecting the community. In the past, health information was stored on paper but through advancements in technology, things have significantly changed as patient information is stored on Electronic health records (EHR).
The adoption of big data had significant impacts on customer services and other related issues. According to Raghupathi and Raghupathi (2014), for many years, healthcare has been generating huge volumes of data that was stored in hardcopy. This was a critical step toward improving the quality of healthcare delivery while reducing costs. This huge volume of information is crucial to healthcare because, through digitalization, it has become possible to detect diseases at an early stage and take necessary intervention measures. Secondly, big data enables the ability to enhance continuity, starting when a patient visits a hospital until the last stage of being discharged. For example, the lab tests taken from those patients and other specialized treatments are stored in a way that other departments can access this information in the future preventing duplicate redoing labs and imaging studies (Adibuzzaman et al., 2017). This cuts down costs while improving service delivery.
Although big data has had a tremendous impact on the healthcare systems, it has also created some problems. Firstly, the use of technology such as EHR has resulted in security issues and privacy threats. According to McGonigle and Mastrian (2017), technology has enabled the interoperability of healthcare data. Interoperability means sharing important health data across different organizations while ensuring it is presented understandably to the user. Unauthorized third parties can intersect this information and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) has shown little concern for patient data breach cases. Another problem is that big data is not static, it requires continuous system updates to ensure that it ...

The technological advancements that have occurred in the field of healthcare have greatly changed the way people view and interact with the healthcare system. They have also led to the reduction of costs and the increasing efficiency of the system. We expect that the future of healthcare will continue to be influenced by information technology.
Due to the technological advancements that have occurred in the field of healthcare, physicians are now able to spend less time with their patients. This has allowed them to provide more effective and efficient care to their patients. In the future, we can expect that the increasing number of specialists who can delegate their work to other doctors will have a significant impact on the healthcare system. The increasing efficiency of doctors is expected to have a significant impact on the shortage of specialist physicians in the future. This issue could be solved using technology. Hopefully, the use of information technology can help boost the number of specialist physicians (Patric, 2022).
Electronic health records have revolutionized the way healthcare is done. Despite the progress that has been made in terms of keeping and tracking these records, they are still not widely used yet. This means that the kind of growth that was expected from the adoption of these records has not materialized. Although the adoption of electronic health records has been made in various parts of the world, it’s still not widely used in all areas. This means that the ability to keep track of one’s medical history is still very important (Patric, 2022).
The increasing importance of information technology in healthcare has led to the prediction that the cost of healthcare will eventually come down. Various factors such as better accessibility and efficiency will help make healthcare more affordable and more effective.
It’s widely believed that keeping one's health is much cheaper and easier than treating a.

Undoubtedly, there has been a paradigm shift in the delivery of healthcare due to technological advancement. Nurse informaticist are now able to utilize information technology and advance technology to make informed decision in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients (Laureate Education, 2018b).
Nurses and other health professionals are now able to carry out their duties and responsibilities in a safe and efficient manner due to the evolution of informatics. Even though, there is more room for improvement, technological advancement and the evolution of information technology has contributed immensely to the training, acquisition of knowledge, skills, and the disposition of nurses. This technological advantage enables nurses to provide safe, quality, and efficient patient care (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015).
Clearly, the change in technology and informatics in the organization that I worked for has been incredibly substantial. The organization has moved from the era of paper charting when nurses had to document patient information by handwriting to using the Electronic Medical records (EMR) and eventually to the Electronic Health Records (EHR). Also, nurses used to receive handwritten orders including prescriptions from physicians which gave room for misinterpretations and errors. Currently the patient’s prescriptions are entered into the EHR which eliminates the potential for misinterpretation (Laureate Education, 2018a).
One of the newer trends in information technology in my organization is the ability to transmit patients’ vital signs from the dynamap machine directly into the EHR. Prior to the introduction of the dynamap, nurses and nurse’s assistant had to manually input this information into the EHR which was time consuming and gave room for potential errors (Rao-Gupta et al., 2018).
Evidently, the advent of the EHR and other health information technology devices have had significant impact on the delivery of safe, quality, and efficient care. However, it is important to note that due to the enormous volume of data receive in the EHR, nurses and informaticist sometimes need to weed out irrelevant and redundant information. Another pitfall associated with the transmission of data from the dynamap to the EHR is the failure to synchronize properly due to connectivity problem. This may cause some data to be missing and nurses must manually input the missing data (Laureate Education, 2018a).
Obviously, the changing trends in information technology and the evolution of new technological devices and systems such as the EHR and dynamap withing the organization have been extremely beneficial to imp ...

POST # 1: Emily
Coordination of patient care plays an important role in positive health outcomes; however, it is becoming more of a challenge as the United States’ population is aging, diseases and treatments are becoming more complex and technological costs are rising (Seyedamini, et al., 2019, p. 6). This coordination of care is known as clinical integration, which can be defined as “the coordination of patient care across providers, settings and and time to achieve safe, effective, efficient and patient-focused care” (Regis College, n.d). Clinical integration has the potential to lower health care costs, improve efficiency and quality of care (Seyedamini, et al., 2019, p. 7).
However, in order to facilitate efficient clinical integration, providers need proper financing, cultural adaptation and supportive resources (Seyedamini, et al., 2019, p. 7). Challenges that providers and patients face with clinical integration include continuously updating of medical techniques, equipment and computer-based information systems, increased complexity of care making communication between providers more difficult, as well as increased insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act causing a higher demand for providers (Shi & Singh, 2019, p. 138). According to Haughom (2017), our modern health care system requires “comprehensive care management systems” (para. 8). He states in addition to electronic medical records, providers need a system that contains the five core competencies of care management including, 1) data integration, 2) patient stratification and intake, 3) care coordination, 4) patient engagement, and 5) performance measurement.
Currently, there is a comprehensive smartphone system being developed that has yet to be fully launched known as FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources). This system would allow providers, researchers and patients to store and share medical information all in one place (Rae-Dupree, 2019, para. 3). This system would support clinical integration and simplify the current complex process of sharing data between providers and patients, which in turn could result in greater efficiency in healthcare delivery (Regis College, n.d). However, this system is still working on gaining support from providers and institutions. They are also facing challenges with how to properly protect patient information in the cyber world (Rae-Dupree, 2019, para. 24).
With newly developing technologies to improve clinical integration, such as FHIR, health care professionals must be properly trained and adhere to new systems to achieve the intended outcomes of improved quality of care and reduced costs. New delivery models being used to replac.

As the largest health care workforce group, nurses are well suit.docx
As the largest health care workforce group, nurses are well suited to collaborate with other team members in the clinical work for an effective healthcare delivery (Matthys, Remmen, & Van Bogaert, 2017).
Collaboration is multidimensional and can occur in both face-to-face encounters and electronically for exchange of views and ideas. Collaboration is a planned or an unplanned engagement that takes place between individuals or teams of individuals, whether in-person or mediated by technology, where information is exchanged in some way (either explicitly, i.e. verbally or written, or implicitly, i.e. through shared understanding of gestures, emotions, etc.), and often occur across different roles (i.e. physician and nurse) to deliver patient care (Weir, 2011).
With reference to health informatics, a systematic review of literature, (Eikey, Reddy, & Kuziemsky, 2015), methods of collaborative work in health setting include telemedicine application, EMR, HER, EPR, CPOE, mobile technology, (PDAs, pagers, mobile phones), Web 2.0 applications, internet, online health communities, picture archives, and communication system, medicine dispensing devices and barcode systems, HIT and any other specific application. The authors further presented the "collaboration space model", to help researchers study collaboration and technology in healthcare.
In my healthcare setting, we use several health informatics methods such as pagers, mobile phones, communication system, medicine dispensing devices and barcode systems, but one that has been much applauded during this COVID 19 era is Telemedicine. I work in a psych/detox hospital.
We found telemedicine very relevant based on research results indicating that people with mental health problems are twice more likely to be frequent users of hospital emergency departments (Hunt, Weber, Showstack, Colby, & Callaham, 2006). The use of the emergency department for routine clinical care poses a huge strain on the health system because of the high cost of treatment, restricting use of the emergency department for admission of patients who really require admissions. This is also because of the associated complexity and pressure to admit patients for inpatient care (Institute of Medicine (U.S.), 2007).
Recent technological advancements have led to easy access to videoconferencing utilizing personal computers or tablets. A few research work has also been carried out using telemedicine. Patients are encouraged to check their vital signs using personal devices. Also, the introduction of asynchronous store-and-forward approaches enable clinicians review their patient without direct interaction. Also, telehomecare enables clinicians monitor their patients in their own homes (Yellowlees et al., 2010). Telepsychiatry aims to improve quality of care to patients and reduce costs in three ways: it will carry out assessment at a distance, the specialist will be able to provide emergency department doctors opinion on complex c.

The Application of Data to Problem-Solving
In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.
Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.
In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.
To Prepare:
Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.
Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.

All healthcare workers are trained to share the common goal of providing the best quality of care to their patients. Regardless of what role one may serve on the multidisciplinary team, they all have an obligation to accurately assess the needs of the patient, to efficiently collect and record data, to contribute to diagnosing, and to treat/ evaluate properly. “Informatics blend technology and information to blend something new that people, organizations and society can make use of” (Laureate, 2018).

Big Data Risks and Rewards
Big data is defined as the process of collecting, analyzing, and leveraging consumer patient, physical, and clinical data that is too vast or complex to be understood by traditional means of data processing. In healthcare, data is generated from medical records, patient portals, government agencies, research studies, electronic health records, and medical devices. The data generated in healthcare is used to make decisions that will have an impact on patient health outcomes (Raghupathi & Raghupathi, 2014). Healthcare is a critical docket in our society since it is tasked with a duty to prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses and diseases affecting the community. In the past, health information was stored on paper but through advancements in technology, things have significantly changed as patient information is stored on Electronic health records (EHR).
The adoption of big data had significant impacts on customer services and other related issues. According to Raghupathi and Raghupathi (2014), for many years, healthcare has been generating huge volumes of data that was stored in hardcopy. This was a critical step toward improving the quality of healthcare delivery while reducing costs. This huge volume of information is crucial to healthcare because, through digitalization, it has become possible to detect diseases at an early stage and take necessary intervention measures. Secondly, big data enables the ability to enhance continuity, starting when a patient visits a hospital until the last stage of being discharged. For example, the lab tests taken from those patients and other specialized treatments are stored in a way that other departments can access this information in the future preventing duplicate redoing labs and imaging studies (Adibuzzaman et al., 2017). This cuts down costs while improving service delivery.
Although big data has had a tremendous impact on the healthcare systems, it has also created some problems. Firstly, the use of technology such as EHR has resulted in security issues and privacy threats. According to McGonigle and Mastrian (2017), technology has enabled the interoperability of healthcare data. Interoperability means sharing important health data across different organizations while ensuring it is presented understandably to the user. Unauthorized third parties can intersect this information and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) has shown little concern for patient data breach cases. Another problem is that big data is not static, it requires continuous system updates to ensure that it ...

The technological advancements that have occurred in the field of healthcare have greatly changed the way people view and interact with the healthcare system. They have also led to the reduction of costs and the increasing efficiency of the system. We expect that the future of healthcare will continue to be influenced by information technology.
Due to the technological advancements that have occurred in the field of healthcare, physicians are now able to spend less time with their patients. This has allowed them to provide more effective and efficient care to their patients. In the future, we can expect that the increasing number of specialists who can delegate their work to other doctors will have a significant impact on the healthcare system. The increasing efficiency of doctors is expected to have a significant impact on the shortage of specialist physicians in the future. This issue could be solved using technology. Hopefully, the use of information technology can help boost the number of specialist physicians (Patric, 2022).

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

- 1. reply 3 Information technology has improved the healthcare system especially with the use of EMR’s, since the use of them helps improve interoperability thus helping patients with continuation of care, providing information to other providers across different systems. Long gone are the days when we write notes by hand and orders are placed in patients charts with illegible handwriting. In 2009 President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which Includes the Health Information and Technology Economic Clinical Health Act which rewarded providers that used EHRs and penalized the ones that did not use it which prevented the patient’s continuity of care in the healthcare settings. (Sweeney 2017).The benefit of using health technology is especially beneficial when collecting data to improve certain markers for instance falls. Falls in my healthcare setting has improved since the gathering of information as to why patients fall, and who is the population that tends to fall more often, and how to prevent them from falling in the first place. Data indicated that usually these are patients who are 65 and older on blood pressure medication and blood thinners are the ones that tend to fall, this data was gathered from fall assessments and patient’s EHRs, so the hospital decided to invest in what they call low beds and remote monitored cameras which observes patients that are confused and at risk for falling, the low bed improves the risk of injuries and the camera prevents the fall by redirecting patients at risk for falls. Without these the hospital will encounter a great financial burden with patients falls with injuries, since if a patient fractures or hurts themselves the insurance company will not pay for the injury it is the institution sole responsibility. Having information technology is more of a benefit than a burden, since it improves communication for not only patients who have instant access to their medical records providing them with the autonomy of their information, but it also shows great evidence-based practice that it helps with communication from one provider to other providers thus improving patient care across a multidisciplinary setting. Nurses also benefit from information technology since data is stored and they are able to actually see patients’ information from different encounters both inpatient and outpatient. The ANA identifies nursing informatics as “a specialty that integrates, nursing, science, computer science, information science to communicate data, information and knowledge in nursing practice.” (ANA, 2001, pg.17).Reference:McGonigle, D., & Mastrian, K.
