Running Head: ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD 1 ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD 5 Electronic Health Record Name Course Title and Number Professor’s name Date Electronic Health Record Introduction EHR is a systemized digital chart that contain collective information about patients. The EHR at Practice Fusion offers free sign up which offers an experience that does not incur any cost. There are minimal requirements to sign up as only personal information is needed. Navigation around the record is efficient and easy due to the availability of tutorials. The information is provided instantly through the easy access from any location, making it relatively fast. Information security is enhanced because access to the records is only by authorized users (Shan 2015) Charting with doctors is a feature in the EHR and there are many doctors present to attend to patients. Online services present at the system are effective because I have the ability to book appointment online. The history of a patient treatment can be recovered from the records for further treatment. Information from the EHR can be shared between doctors in different departments or facilities that facilitates treatment at different locations and facilities. Standards Acute care is treatment that is short-term but treats severe injuries and illness. Ambulatory care involves the outpatient care where patients receive treatment and go home the same day without admission in the hospital. There are certain standards that govern the EHR in this type of care. For both the medical care, security and privacy standards should be maintained. This entails that those who are authorized to access patient information should not disclose the information to anyone. This promotes confidentiality and privacy. The EHR keeps lists of all the problem as per the standards for reference in continuous treatment. Medication issued to patients also have to be listed to provide a follow up. The EHR offers information on all allergies affecting customers together with their preventive measures. According to the regulations the EHR should be enabled to exchange and share patient information. The ERH has to be certified by the health and human services. Challenges The web-based nature of the EHR poses as a threat to healthcare provider as records are vulnerable to hacking. Information leakage may damage the reputation of the provider. Healthcare providers’ maybe resistance to EHR due to time taken to adapt the system. The adaptation duration decreases productivity hence ineffective in initial stages. Doctor patient interactions are disrupted by the EHR due to lack of face to face appointments. Doctors tend to overlie on the EHR systems to make decision which leads to poor medical assistance. The EHRs are relatively expens.

An Electronic Health Record ( Ehr )
The document discusses the benefits of electronic health records (EHRs), including improved patient care, decreased medical errors, and better collaboration between healthcare providers. It notes that 78% of physicians in one study said EHRs improved patient care. EHRs can contain a patient's medical history, test results, diagnoses and more. They allow for remote access to patient charts and provide alerts and recommendations to improve care. EHRs also improve research by providing more clinical data from large patient populations.

The document discusses the choice between storing health data for an elderly dementia patient in a paper chart or electronic health record (EHR). The author would prefer an EHR because it allows authorized providers to easily access secure patient information and make care decisions. However, EHRs raise ethical concerns about privacy and legal risks of data errors leading to wrong treatment. While EHRs can improve patient safety through alerts and access to records, their use for dementia patients requires policies to address privacy and security issues.

Introduction and Definitions
The term “Electronic Health Records” (EHR) means
something different to each of the stakeholders in
health care, but it always seems to carry a degree of
emotional baggage. Increasingly, EHRs are advert-
ized as a nearly unmitigated good that will transform
medical care, improve safety and efficiency, allow
better patient engagement, and open the door to an
era of cheap, effective, timely, and patient-centered
care.1 Indeed, for some EHR proponents the ben-
efits of adopting them are so obvious that adoption
has become an end in itself.2 But for others — and
especially for a number of skeptical practitioners and
patients — EHR is a code word that portends the cor-
porate transformation of health care delivery, the loss
of patient privacy, the demand that patients bear more
responsibility in health care, and the unreflective take-
over of the health care system by people who do not
understand medical care or how health care relation-
ships unfold.3
For our purposes, we will consider EHRs impar-
tially, as a set of tools that can be used for a variety of
purposes. We define EHRs broadly as any electronic
means of storing and transferring health-related
information. We exclude from this definition the use
of the telephone and fax, arguably precursors to the
electronic means of data exchange now available. Like
face-to-face and paper-based interactions, the tele-
phone and fax are generally limited to two people.
Breaches of phone line security, while possible and
perhaps even frequent, are unlikely to affect thou-
sands of people at once.
In this paper, we examine the development of a new
set of EHR tools, Personal Health Records (PHRs).
PHRs may be variously defined (Table I) and have sev-
eral potential functional and payment models (Table
II), but the general aim of all PHRs is to increase
patients’ access to and sense of ownership over their
health care information. According to the Markle
Foundation, the advent of PHRs “represents a transi-
tion from a patient record that is physician-centered
to one that is patient-centered, prospective, interac-

Introduction
Electronic Health Record (EHR) is the computerized storage and sharing of patients’ health information to help in continuous monitoring of the patients’ health (Shickel B., 2017). This is a system developed to enable health clinics share information that can help in providing effective medication to the patients with different kinds of health needs. The data on patients is stored and accessed by the clinics during visits from the patient which will help in care management of the patients. An electronic health record system can be helpful as the information stored consist of medical history of a patient, laboratory tests, treatment plans, immunization dates and various allergies of the patients. This is helpful when the patient visits different clinic health providers where they will not need to explain the situations over and over again.
Electronic health record system automates information sharing and reduces the traditional paper work which was tiresome and had a great risk of losing information. With the HER, information on patients is kept in a secure system where only authorized persons can access it. Errors are minimized in provision of health care since the information kept can be more accurate and available at any given time.
Wasatch Family Clinic will greatly benefit from this strategy of recording, keeping and sharing of information on patients. The nurses can use the system to easily record the patients’ names, numbers and all other critical information required during scheduling for clinical attendance of any patient. Tracing of the information will be easier compared to using the traditional form of papers in storing information for a patient.
Need to share data
Information on health status of a patient has to be kept with care and only authorized persons can be able to access them. This helps in building ethical handling of patients’ information which creates their trust on the health care providers (Drazen J., 2015).
Wasatch Family Clinic needs to share their health data with the patients for them to understand their health issues. The clinic also needs to share data with other health facilities in order to increase the patient’s safety and a great care.
Duplicate registrations will be avoided by sharing data in the different departments of the health care center. A real-time link can be created for the patients from registration, through consultation, testing and final medication. This can save Wasatch family Clinic from traditional paper work which took most time when searching for medical records of a patient at every stage in the clinic. Time can also be saved when the information of the patient is a system shared by the departments of the clinic health center.
Wasatch Family Clinic will also benefit economically when the data is shared improving service time and hence reducing.

Introduction
Health Information Technology (HIT) involves the use of a digital format to store, distribute, and analyze health information. HIT is used between doctor-patient communications to improve the patient’s care. The IT professionals working in the HIT are involved in the technical side of managing health information using software and hardware to manage patients’ data. The professionals provide support to the Electronic Health Records (EHRs) management and other professionals to ascertain accurate dissemination of medical records adhering to HIPAA and HITECH rules and regulations (McInnes, 2016).
Health and financial benefits of implementing EHR
Improved health care and convenience
Access to the patients’ records is easy even in remote locations which ease the quality of care in the case of emergencies. Having all the information located at a central place makes decision making easy. Use of EHRs helps different hospitals and laboratories to access a patient’s medical history
Improved Patient participation
EHRs makes it possible for health professionals to give the patients all their medical evaluations. The providers can provide follow-up information such as web resources and self-care instructions which aid in improving the quality of health care.
Improved diagnostics and patient outcomes
With an accurate medical history of a patient, the medical professionals can check for any allergies, prior treatments which help during the treatment process. The frequency of medical errors during diagnosis. Qualified EHR checks for problems when a new medication is given to the patient and alerting the doctor in advance in the case of any potential threats. In regard to national disasters where casualties forget their medical history, EHR helps quick retrieval of their history and aid in saving their lives.
Time and cost savings
Use of EHRs assists in reducing duplication of testing which saves on the cost of conducting laboratory tests. Moreover, the administrative expenses as a result of filling of numerous patients paperwork. As a consequence of the use of EHRs, there is reduced transcription, storage, and chart-pull costs. The use of electronic prescribing reduces medical errors (Goldberg, & Feng, 2012).
Cost of implementing and maintaining EHR
Setting up an EHR system up and running is quite expensive. Some of the expenses associated with establishing the system are the required hardware and software, installation, training of the IT professionals and ongoing maintenance. There are other costs such as over-time-pay for the providers. Taking a primary care facility with five physicians, the cost of setting up an EHR system is $162,000 and maintenance cost of $ 85,500 within the first year. The IT professionals operating the EHRs needed 611 hours of training whereas each physician require ...
Essay National Ehr Mandate
The document discusses national electronic health records (EHR) in the United States. It describes the 2004 federal government plan under President Bush to develop a system for patients to have easier access to their health records across different healthcare providers and settings. The plan set a timeline for healthcare providers to transition to EHRs. Interviews with nurses at one hospital provide perspectives on adapting to EHRs and the ongoing progress being made, though more work remains to fully meet federal goals. Barriers to compliance include the need to involve family practitioners and develop plans for private patient information on shared hospital room computers.

The Electronic Health Record
The electronic health record (EHR) is the digital version of a patient's paper medical chart. It contains the patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and laboratory and test results. EHRs allow multiple providers to access a patient's complete medical data electronically, improving care coordination and preventing medical errors. However, some physicians have complained that EHRs can be time-consuming and interfere with patient care due to poor usability and excessive alerts. Proper implementation of EHRs through project management is important for a successful transition to digital medical records.

Patient-Centered Care
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.

Informatics role in decreasing healthcare disparities 4
Healthcare disparities exist due to factors such as socioeconomic challenges, disabilities, behaviors, culture, education and language. Health information technology aims to improve healthcare quality, accessibility and continuity through collection and analysis of electronic patient data. Electronic health records, computerized provider order entry, telemedicine, e-prescribing and electronic radiology systems allow providers to easily access and share patient information. Patients benefit from personal health records, online health information and social media for education and care coordination. However, barriers like technology gaps, lack of insurance and inconsistent data collection disproportionately impact underserved populations and must be addressed to reduce healthcare disparities.
Making IT Meaningful
Commissioned by the National Partnership, developed by research partner Professor Alan Westin, Ph.D. and conducted by Harris Interactive, the online survey of nearly 2,000 respondents, with an oversample of Hispanic adults, details consumer experiences with both electronic and paper medical record systems. Intended to serve as a baseline for future studies, the survey looks at how consumers value electronic vs. paper records, how concerned they are about data breaches, and whether they trust electronic medical records more or less than paper records to protect their privacy. It is designed to amplify consumers' voices and inform implementation of health IT.

Informatics and healthcare disparities 2014
The document discusses health disparities and barriers to healthcare access in the United States. It notes that factors like financial concerns, geography, literacy, race, culture and others can contribute to population-specific differences in disease burden and access to care. Some populations experience disproportionately higher rates of chronic illnesses and mortality from certain causes. Efforts are needed to improve access, reduce disparities, and accelerate quality improvement, especially around preventive care and patient safety, in order to ensure all patients receive high-quality care.
The Role of the Personal Health Record in EHR
The document discusses personal health records (PHRs) and how they relate to and integrate with electronic health records (EHRs). It defines EHRs as secure, real-time records that aid clinicians' decision-making. PHRs allow patients to access and manage their health information, providing benefits like improved patient-clinician relationships and better care. However, issues remain regarding transferring PHR data between providers and associated costs. Standards are being developed for continuity between EHRs and PHRs. As PHRs evolve to improve communication, their impact on medical practices is expected to increase.

support and related needs. The needs might relate to care while an inpatient or it
might relate to their needs when they go home.
It is essential that an interprofessional collaborative approach is used to plan care
that is person-centred. Communicating effectively together (and with the person
receiving care) enables healthcare team members to support and complement one
another’s services and avoid duplications and omissions in planning and coordinating
care. Nurses and midwives in their various roles can advocate for that person’s
holistic needs to be met through effectively documenting needs, making referrals
through face-to-face meetings and consultation with other professionals. This chapter
discusses the different ways nurses and midwives properly document care, report
care and how they formally confer with others to ensure people’s continuity of care
needs are met.
In Australia and New Zealand, the current healthcare system requires that all
nurses and midwives are competent in documenting their client’s care to ensure
continuity of care, that legal records are kept about the care given so that the
documentation can also provide a trail and evidence for evaluating and auditing the
effectiveness of the care given (Blair & Smith, 2012). Documentation of care is
therefore an important source of reference and communication between all health
professionals including nurses and midwives, with implications for continuity of care
and interprofessional collaborative practice. The health standards set by government
accrediting bodies in Australia and New Zealand has specific guidelines for
documenting clinical data and care. Nurses and midwives need to document
concisely, and have a system of non-duplication and evidence-based care to ensure
quality and safety. The following section explores documentation and some of the
different ways and systems of documenting care that are used in our healthcare
services.
DOCUMENTING CARE
Documentation is any written or electronically generated legal record of all pertinent
interactions with the client that describes the care and services provided to that
person. Documentation is a written record of the healthcare professional interacting
with the person on all levels of care including assessing, identifying health problems,
and planning, implementing and evaluating care. Increasingly sophisticated
management information systems (MIS) are becoming available to manage patient-
specific data and information, as well as provide access through clinical databases
for evidence-based practice. The data obtained from a MIS are used to facilitate
person care, serve as legal records, help in clinical research and support decisio.

Electronic personal health record systems (PHRs) are introduced to develop patient-centered health care by providing medical records and other required information accessible to patients with the idea of helping patients in health self-management. There is a number of different fundamental designs for PHRs. As primary care physicians will play a major role in patient health, PHRs are also to be linked to physician’s electronic medical record systems, so the adoption of PHRs dependent on growth in electronic medical record adoption. Also, many PHRs are physician-oriented and which does not include patient orientated functionalities. PHRs need to provide to support self-management and disease prevention if improvements in health outcomes are to be expected.
There has been a surge in activity around the adoption of PHRs for patients and consumers. There are some issues surrounding PHRs where they are more than just a static repository for patient’s data, they help combine data and convert that into information and provide knowledge which helps patients to participate actively in their own care.
Benefits:
PHRs have a wide variety of potential benefits for consumers. Out of it one of the most important PHR benefits is it has greater patient access to wide array of useful health data, information, and knowledge. Patients can use that to improve their health and manage their diseases. Those kinds of information are highly customized to make PHRs more successful and useful. Patients with illness will be able to track their diseases in conjunction with the providers, by providing earlier help when they see a problem. PHRs will help in improving communication between patients and caregivers which will make it easier for patients and caregivers to ask general questions, to request refills, to set up appointments and also to report problems. PHRs will also benefits to the payers and purchasers for health care include lower diseases, lower management cost, lower medication cost.
Risks:
Although there are many benefits to a PHR system, which may also include some risks. Like, it is very difficult and time consuming to collect all current and past medical information. Patients have to request information from multiple health providers to get complete medical history. Once all the information is collected patients must manual enter the data into their PHR.

The Electronic Health Record ( Ehr ) System
The document discusses the electronic health record (EHR) system. It explains that an EHR is a digital version of a patient's medical history that contains their personal details, health concerns, medical histories, test results, medications, and more. The EHR allows quick access to patient information for medical practitioners and facilitates improved care. It also assists clinicians in scheduling and supports evidence-based decision making. However, successful implementation of an EHR system depends on technical, behavioral, and management factors.
Personal Health Record Management System
Good health is one of the most valuable resources for a human being. Large scale technological advancements have significantly improved human health by a large margin. But there are still several diseases whose symptoms are highly painful and debilitating for a patient. The doctor is in charge of facilitating an effective diagnosis of the patients illness and providing relief to the patient through various medications. For this purpose, the doctor has at his disposal repository of information in the form of PHR or Public Health Records which can be utilized for querying the symptoms experienced by the patient. Sometimes the Medical Institute does not have the PHR with the exact parameters and symptoms described by the patient. Due to the deficiency in the PHR database, the doctor can employ the use of a data aggregator or vendor for fulfilling the requirement from other medical institutions. The problem in this approach is that there is a lack of trust between the medical Institutions and the data aggregators, as PHR can contain sensitive and personally identifiable information that cannot be shared easily. Therefore, this Publication details the implementation of an effective access control mechanism through the use of the distributed blockchain framework along with the introduction of K means clustering and entropy analysis catalyst by the artificial neural network to alleviate the trust issues. Extensive experimentation on the proposed methodology has confirmed its superiority in comparison to the conventional approaches. Chinmayee Y. Raut | Bushra R. Inamdar | Prof. R. G.

Integrating PHRs into EHR Platforms When electronic health re.docx
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.

MCJ 5135 Theory of Crime and Criminology
The Relevance of Psychological Theories in Criminology
The engagement of an individual in criminal activities is often influenced by various underlying factors. As such various theories have been developed to explain the behavioral patterns of criminals and enable the criminal justice departments to operate effectively. Among the developed theories, the psychological theories are perhaps the most accurate in the field of criminology. Psychological theories are based on an interaction between biological and social-cultural factors that either promote or deter criminal behavior, (Walters, 2016). Classical theories of criminology did not account for the state of mind of criminals. As such, many criminals in the past were convicted of crimes they committed unknowingly. This has changed since the adoption of psychological theories. Both individuals as well as criminal justice officials now understand that psychological factors influence criminal behavior. Appropriate measures have been implemented to ensure that the criminal justice department treats all persons fairly by assessing underlying psychological factors. As such, psychological theories have not only promoted the work of the criminal justice department but also promoted individual awareness about underlying mental conditions that affect an individual’s behavior, (Byrne & Hummer, 2016).
Review of the Literature
1. Byrne, J., & Hummer, D. (2016). An examination of the impact of criminological theory on community corrections practice. Fed. Probation, 80, 15.
According toByrne & Hummer (2016), psychological theories have the most direct influence on probation and parole compared to other theories of criminology. The authors have comprehensively analyzed the impact of various theories used to evaluate criminal behavior. They suggest that behavior is intertwined with unconscious motives. Therefore, understanding the reasons behind a crime requires a psychological evaluation to understand the interaction of the two factors. This article is suitable for this research because it captures the relevance of psychological theories in criminology.

Few formal theories have been developed to capture the role of emotional processes as facilitators or inhibitors of crime, (Dippong & Fitch, 2017). According to the authors, gaps in criminology can be filled by focusing on the underlying psychological factors of the offenders. The article highlights the effect that practices such as interrogation have on the mental state of an individual thus resulting in inaccurate findings during criminal investigations. As such, this article is a reliable source of information about the relevance of applying psychological theories in criminology. .

A comparative analysis between Korean melodrama and other local melodrama
Student name
Institution
Most studies in recent times have discovered that Korean dramas have come with a “Korean wave” in media in the global stage. Audiences have been reconceptualised due to the availability of internet and computer that have facilitated the digital revolution. Korean melodrama has earned more views than local melodrama, a result of its marketing its content without owning a means of distribution.
Korean melodrama is a representation of a product that is a hybrid of Hollywood, since Korean melodrama makes use of practices, tools, and conventions in the narrative that comes with the preoccupation of the Korean socio-political and historical aspects. The aspect of familiarity that lacks in local melodrama exists in Korean melodrama. Studies in have shown that audiences tend to respond positively to things they are familiar to and that is exactly what Korean melodrama is.
The use of genre by Korean melodrama is a huge success to its big audiences from the west, as a study by the Korean Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) back in 2015 estimated that around 19 million Americans enjoy Korean melodrama compared to five million who preferred local melodrama as they are a definition of what the world is in reality. The aspect of what is good and what is bad entangled with emotional narratives that give the audience an opportunity to select a hero or a heroine (Martin, 2019).
Korean melodrama are structured in a way that the audience can critique structures of institutional powers and explore a world with aspects of complex social issues. Korean melodrama has a vital element of their characters not being complex and this does not place a huge burden of danger or any sort of conflict in their existing world (Smith, 2017). The study also found out that Korean dramas have integrated aspects of adventures, romance and included professional fields like doctors and police, and lawyer, which are familiar genres to the audience. The structure of the Korean melodrama comes along with themes and selective iconography that make Korean melodrama suitable for global audiences.
Korean drama has earned viewers more than local dramas in the local stage given the Korean dramas depict the actual Korean culture. Most people are attracted to Korean melodrama since they are interested with the reality. A study by a Korean television found out that their supervisor had received more than five hundred emails from people who were not Korean to include English subtitles in their videos. This proves to be a massive support comparing people have less interest in their local drama. Korean drama have earned a huge fan base due to the license agreement of online streaming that was agreed by Korea (Moon, 2019). Studies have recorded that the market of Korean melodrama has around 12% of them wh.

Critical Evaluation of Four Articles On Note Taking
Critical Evaluation of Four Articles On Note Taking
Note taking is the process of recording information from another source and is an integral part of university studies. Comprehensive studies have been conducted to underline the cognitive process of note taking. This essay aims to critique four research articles pertaining to the study of note taking namely by highlighting several pros and cons of certain methodologies used, to improve future researches done on the topic of note taking.
The first article aims to examine whether the use of laptops in note taking impairs learning compared to people who were using the longhand method (Mueller & Oppenheimer, 2014). They conducted three experiments to investigate whether taking notes on a laptop versus writing longhand would affect academic performance, and to explore the potential mechanism of verbatim overlap as a proxy for the depth of processing. They used an experimental design in order to achieve a quantitative result. Using five 15 minutes TED talks lectures, the use of either laptop or longhand method for note taking as a categorical variable, and 67 participant samples from different university research subject pools, they concluded that participants using laptops were more inclined to take verbatim notes than participants using the longhand method. An overlooked procedure of this methodology is that in their first study, either one or two students were placed in an enclosed room.Mueller & Oppenheimer (2014) unknowingly made this a variable in their experiment. Additionally, typical university lectures are done in an occupied lecture hall. Mueller and Oppenheimer (2014) should have had his experiments in a lecture hall with students while testing his participants, emulating an environment similar to the real world. Doing so would increase external validity without sacrificing internal validity. Participants were taken randomly from a pool of voluntary university students, which is a good representation of the larger population for their hypothesis of the experiment. Mueller and Oppenheimer (2014) did not account for how the participants usually took notes in their classes. Instructing the participants to take down notes in a medium they are not used to could have affected their implicit processing of information, affecting results. The experimenters should have divided the participants into two separate groups based on which medium they were more comfortable in using. A third control group whereby participants did not take notes would have been beneficial to this experiment, eliminating compromising factors such as selection threats (Trochim, 2006).
The next article alleviates most of the previously stated concerns. This experiment was conducted to determine whether students’ note-taking and online chatting can influence their recalls of lecture content and note quality (Wei , Wang .

Critique of Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed Method Design
Both quantitative and qualitative methods play a pivotal role in nursing research. Qualitative research helps nurses and other healthcare workers to understand the experiences of the patients on health and illness. Quantitative data allows researchers to use an accurate approach in data collection and analysis. When using quantitative techniques, data can be analyzed using either descriptive statistics or inferential statistics which allows the researchers to derive important facts like demographics, preference trends, and differences between the groups. The paper comprehensively critiques quantitative and quantitative techniques of research. Furthermore, the author will also give reasons as to why qualitative methods should be regarded as scientific.
The overall value of quantitative and Qualitative Research
Quantitative studies allow the researchers to present data in terms of numbers. Since data is in numeric form, researchers can apply statistical techniques in analyzing it. These include descriptive statistics like mean, mode, median, standard deviation and inferential statistics such as ANOVA, t-tests, correlation and regression analysis. Statistical analysis allows us to derive important facts from data such as preference trends, demographics, and differences between groups. For instance, by conducting a mixed methods study to determine the feeding experiences of infants among teen mothers in North Carolina, Tucker and colleagues were able to compare breastfeeding trends among various population groups. The multiple groups compared were likely to initiate breastfeeding as follows: Hispanic teens 89%, Black American teens 41%, and White teens 52% (Tucker et al., 2011).
The high strength of quantitative analysis lies in providing data that is descriptive. The descriptive statistics helps us to capture a snapshot of the population. When analyzed appropriate, the descriptive data enables us to make general conclusions concerning the population. For instance, through detailed data analysis, Tucker and co-researchers were able to observe that there were a large number of adolescents who ceased breastfeeding within the first month drawing the need for nurses to conduct individualized follow-ups the early days after hospital discharge. These follow-ups would significantly assist in addressing the conventional technical problems and offer support in managing back to school transition (Tucker et al., 2011).
Qualitative research allows researchers to determine the client’s perspective on healthcare. It enables researchers to observe certain behaviors and experiences amo.

Peer-Reviewed Article Analysis
Technology has evolved over the years in various sectors, with new technological innovations being developed. One of the areas that has witnessed great applications of technological evolution is in the detection and prevention of crime. This article will analyze the various technologies that are used to prevent and detect crime.
Byrne and Marx (2011) in their article reviews the topic in detail and gives insight in the role of technology in combating crime.
The key data that will be used in this research is secondary data from various peer-reviewed sources that review the topic of Crime Analysis Technology from various perspectives. Byrne and Marx (2011) presents various data on crime and the use of Information Technology in crime detection and prevention. For instance, it highlights that the percentage of schools in the United States that deploy metal detectors is approximately 2%. The article also approximates that as of 2006, one million CCTV cameras had been deployed in the United States, although the article does not provide current estimates on the same.
The article plays a great role in my final research. It gives a highlight of the various technological applications for crime prevention and detection. This can provide a background for further research, especially the technological innovations that are currently being developed. The article also presents figures about various elements of technology in crime prevention and detection such as the number of CCTV cameras, the crime rates such as the registered sex offenders, among others. Projections can therefore be made to the future.
The article mentions several significant facts. First, it classifies technological innovations in criminal justice as hard technology versus soft technology. Hard technology innovations include hardware and materials while soft technology innovations include information systems and computer software. Examples of hard technology is the CCTV cameras, metal detectors, and security systems at homes and schools. Examples of soft technology include predictive policing technology, crime analysis techniques, software, and data sharing techniques, among others. Both of the two categories of technological innovations are important in criminal justice. Another fact is the new technology of policing. The article identifies hard policing technological tools such as non-lethal weaponry and technologies for officer safety. It highlights soft policing technologies such as data-driven policies in policing and information sharing. Another important fact that the article mentions is the issues that should be con.

Introduction
The purpose of a flowchart is to graphically present information in a logical pattern according to whatis.com (2018), usually showing the progression within a process from beginning to end. This flowchart will illustrate the pattern of progression in the criminal justice systems of Canada and India. In most countries policing, the courts, and the correctional systems are interdependent in this relationship, the police are the first step and the other steps follow in a logical progression. The purpose of mapping the steps of these countries criminal justice systems is to give visual context to this progression.
Criminal Justice of Canada
Police
Canada’s criminal justice system is not that different from other systems from around the world. The Canadian system comprised of the police who investigate crimes, collects evidence, and apprehend suspects for trial in the court system. Canada’s policing uses a decentralized multiple coordination model. In Canada, the federal government is constitutionally responsible for legislating in all areas that relate to criminal matters Braiden (2006), but legislating police activity is the responsibility of the provinces.
Each province has passed a Police Act to meet their responsibilities. Police forces in Canada deal with all types of crimes, from Crimes against Persons to Crimes Against Property according to the Canadian Department of Justice (2017). The crime being investigated will dictate the course of the investigation that will follow. To satisfy their role in the criminal justice flowchart the police must collect evidence and this evidence will be used at trial.
The gathering and preserving of evidence according to rules established within the Police Act and federal legislation spelled out in the Canadian Constitution Canadian Department of Justice (2017). Once an investigation occurs with the collection of evidence, and this evidence obtained through interviews and legally issued search warrants the police will develop a most likely and viable suspect and the police will request an arrest warrant for the suspect spelling out who they are looking to arrest and for what crime they wish to arrest them for.
Courts
The arrest is one of the final steps for the police in this matter and the beginning of the court process. The first step in this process is to put the person in custody into a holding cell usually at a detention center, the person is typically seen by a judge or a justice of the peace as soon as possible, this is usually done in twenty-four hours according to the Canadian Department of Justice (2017). At this point, the judge determines a pre-trial date in some cases will release the party on bail.
A bail hearing allows the prosecution to present evidence in hopes to keep the accused in custody. In the Canadian system, the state has all the expense of investigatio.

Founded in 2001, Global Inc. is one of the leading manufacturers of consumer electronics such as personal computers, smartphones, and household appliances among other products. As a limited liability company members are not liable for the organization’s liabilities or debts (Deering & Murphy, 2003). It has experienced growth currently with approximately 13, 500 workers and an annual revenue of $14 billion as of December 2017. Smartphones and personal computers form its major source of revenue which currently comprises 45% of all the revenues. Starting 2009, the company expanded to the international market and has since experienced a growing revenue due to the expanding market share. More so, due to benefits such as cheap and readily available labor, the organization moved some of its manufacturing processes to Indonesia, Bhutan and Hong Kong which has greatly impacted the operational cost enabling it to provide goods at competitive prices.
In 2016, the company faced issues related to labor management as it was established that some of its suppliers employ underage workers and also utilizes bonded labor. It has been an ethical issue faced by the organization whether it should cut ties with the suppliers and find other suppliers. The company did not have any policies that controlled labor management practices by the suppliers hence it was not likely for the organization to act with speed. On the other hand, in the established manufacturing plants in Asian countries, it emerged that some workers received wages lower than the minimum wages in the said countries. These have been the two major issues that have recently tarnished the organization’s public image. However, it has put efforts to turn around the situation and regain its previous public image.

Patient-Centered Care
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.

Informatics role in decreasing healthcare disparities 4
Healthcare disparities exist due to factors such as socioeconomic challenges, disabilities, behaviors, culture, education and language. Health information technology aims to improve healthcare quality, accessibility and continuity through collection and analysis of electronic patient data. Electronic health records, computerized provider order entry, telemedicine, e-prescribing and electronic radiology systems allow providers to easily access and share patient information. Patients benefit from personal health records, online health information and social media for education and care coordination. However, barriers like technology gaps, lack of insurance and inconsistent data collection disproportionately impact underserved populations and must be addressed to reduce healthcare disparities.

1. EHR decreases wait times, improves safety by tracking medications and medical history, and allows easy sharing of records between providers.
2. HIS streamlines processes across hospitals and providers, reducing costs. It provides centralized access and management of patient medical records and appointments.
3. Both systems increase productivity and quality of care by giving providers fast access to patient information.
Informatics and healthcare disparities 2014
The document discusses health disparities and barriers to healthcare access in the United States. It notes that factors like financial concerns, geography, literacy, race, culture and others can contribute to population-specific differences in disease burden and access to care. Some populations experience disproportionately higher rates of chronic illnesses and mortality from certain causes. Efforts are needed to improve access, reduce disparities, and accelerate quality improvement, especially around preventive care and patient safety, in order to ensure all patients receive high-quality care.
The Role of the Personal Health Record in EHR
The document discusses personal health records (PHRs) and how they relate to and integrate with electronic health records (EHRs). It defines EHRs as secure, real-time records that aid clinicians' decision-making. PHRs allow patients to access and manage their health information, providing benefits like improved patient-clinician relationships and better care. However, issues remain regarding transferring PHR data between providers and associated costs. Standards are being developed for continuity between EHRs and PHRs. As PHRs evolve to improve communication, their impact on medical practices is expected to increase.

support and related needs. The needs might relate to care while an inpatient or it
might relate to their needs when they go home.
It is essential that an interprofessional collaborative approach is used to plan care
that is person-centred. Communicating effectively together (and with the person
receiving care) enables healthcare team members to support and complement one
another’s services and avoid duplications and omissions in planning and coordinating
care. Nurses and midwives in their various roles can advocate for that person’s
holistic needs to be met through effectively documenting needs, making referrals
through face-to-face meetings and consultation with other professionals. This chapter
discusses the different ways nurses and midwives properly document care, report
care and how they formally confer with others to ensure people’s continuity of care
needs are met.
In Australia and New Zealand, the current healthcare system requires that all
nurses and midwives are competent in documenting their client’s care to ensure
continuity of care, that legal records are kept about the care given so that the
documentation can also provide a trail and evidence for evaluating and auditing the
effectiveness of the care given (Blair & Smith, 2012). Documentation of care is
therefore an important source of reference and communication between all health
professionals including nurses and midwives, with implications for continuity of care
and interprofessional collaborative practice. The health standards set by government
accrediting bodies in Australia and New Zealand has specific guidelines for
documenting clinical data and care. Nurses and midwives need to document
concisely, and have a system of non-duplication and evidence-based care to ensure
quality and safety. The following section explores documentation and some of the
different ways and systems of documenting care that are used in our healthcare
services.
DOCUMENTING CARE
Documentation is any written or electronically generated legal record of all pertinent
interactions with the client that describes the care and services provided to that
person. Documentation is a written record of the healthcare professional interacting
with the person on all levels of care including assessing, identifying health problems,
and planning, implementing and evaluating care. Increasingly sophisticated
management information systems (MIS) are becoming available to manage patient-
specific data and information, as well as provide access through clinical databases
for evidence-based practice. The data obtained from a MIS are used to facilitate
person care, serve as legal records, help in clinical research and support decisio.

Electronic personal health record systems (PHRs) are introduced to develop patient-centered health care by providing medical records and other required information accessible to patients with the idea of helping patients in health self-management. There is a number of different fundamental designs for PHRs. As primary care physicians will play a major role in patient health, PHRs are also to be linked to physician’s electronic medical record systems, so the adoption of PHRs dependent on growth in electronic medical record adoption. Also, many PHRs are physician-oriented and which does not include patient orientated functionalities. PHRs need to provide to support self-management and disease prevention if improvements in health outcomes are to be expected.
There has been a surge in activity around the adoption of PHRs for patients and consumers. There are some issues surrounding PHRs where they are more than just a static repository for patient’s data, they help combine data and convert that into information and provide knowledge which helps patients to participate actively in their own care.
Benefits:
PHRs have a wide variety of potential benefits for consumers. Out of it one of the most important PHR benefits is it has greater patient access to wide array of useful health data, information, and knowledge. Patients can use that to improve their health and manage their diseases. Those kinds of information are highly customized to make PHRs more successful and useful. Patients with illness will be able to track their diseases in conjunction with the providers, by providing earlier help when they see a problem. PHRs will help in improving communication between patients and caregivers which will make it easier for patients and caregivers to ask general questions, to request refills, to set up appointments and also to report problems. PHRs will also benefits to the payers and purchasers for health care include lower diseases, lower management cost, lower medication cost.
Risks:
Although there are many benefits to a PHR system, which may also include some risks. Like, it is very difficult and time consuming to collect all current and past medical information. Patients have to request information from multiple health providers to get complete medical history. Once all the information is collected patients must manual enter the data into their PHR.

The Electronic Health Record ( Ehr ) System
The document discusses the electronic health record (EHR) system. It explains that an EHR is a digital version of a patient's medical history that contains their personal details, health concerns, medical histories, test results, medications, and more. The EHR allows quick access to patient information for medical practitioners and facilitates improved care. It also assists clinicians in scheduling and supports evidence-based decision making. However, successful implementation of an EHR system depends on technical, behavioral, and management factors.
Personal Health Record Management System
Good health is one of the most valuable resources for a human being. Large scale technological advancements have significantly improved human health by a large margin. But there are still several diseases whose symptoms are highly painful and debilitating for a patient. The doctor is in charge of facilitating an effective diagnosis of the patients illness and providing relief to the patient through various medications. For this purpose, the doctor has at his disposal repository of information in the form of PHR or Public Health Records which can be utilized for querying the symptoms experienced by the patient. Sometimes the Medical Institute does not have the PHR with the exact parameters and symptoms described by the patient. Due to the deficiency in the PHR database, the doctor can employ the use of a data aggregator or vendor for fulfilling the requirement from other medical institutions. The problem in this approach is that there is a lack of trust between the medical Institutions and the data aggregators, as PHR can contain sensitive and personally identifiable information that cannot be shared easily. Therefore, this Publication details the implementation of an effective access control mechanism through the use of the distributed blockchain framework along with the introduction of K means clustering and entropy analysis catalyst by the artificial neural network to alleviate the trust issues. Extensive experimentation on the proposed methodology has confirmed its superiority in comparison to the conventional approaches. Chinmayee Y. Raut | Bushra R. Inamdar | Prof. R. G.

Integrating PHRs into EHR Platforms When electronic health re.docx
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.

MCJ 5135 Theory of Crime and Criminology
The Relevance of Psychological Theories in Criminology
The engagement of an individual in criminal activities is often influenced by various underlying factors. As such various theories have been developed to explain the behavioral patterns of criminals and enable the criminal justice departments to operate effectively. Among the developed theories, the psychological theories are perhaps the most accurate in the field of criminology. Psychological theories are based on an interaction between biological and social-cultural factors that either promote or deter criminal behavior, (Walters, 2016). Classical theories of criminology did not account for the state of mind of criminals. As such, many criminals in the past were convicted of crimes they committed unknowingly. This has changed since the adoption of psychological theories. Both individuals as well as criminal justice officials now understand that psychological factors influence criminal behavior. Appropriate measures have been implemented to ensure that the criminal justice department treats all persons fairly by assessing underlying psychological factors. As such, psychological theories have not only promoted the work of the criminal justice department but also promoted individual awareness about underlying mental conditions that affect an individual’s behavior, (Byrne & Hummer, 2016).
Review of the Literature
1. Byrne, J., & Hummer, D. (2016). An examination of the impact of criminological theory on community corrections practice. Fed. Probation, 80, 15.
According toByrne & Hummer (2016), psychological theories have the most direct influence on probation and parole compared to other theories of criminology. The authors have comprehensively analyzed the impact of various theories used to evaluate criminal behavior. They suggest that behavior is intertwined with unconscious motives. Therefore, understanding the reasons behind a crime requires a psychological evaluation to understand the interaction of the two factors. This article is suitable for this research because it captures the relevance of psychological theories in criminology.
2. Dippong, J., & Fitch, C. (2017). Emotions in criminological theory: Insights from social psychology. Sociology Compass, 11(4), e12473.
Few formal theories have been developed to capture the role of emotional processes as facilitators or inhibitors of crime, (Dippong & Fitch, 2017). According to the authors, gaps in criminology can be filled by focusing on the underlying psychological factors of the offenders. The article highlights the effect that practices such as interrogation have on the mental state of an individual thus resulting in inaccurate findings during criminal investigations. As such, this article is a reliable source of information about the relevance of applying psychological theories in criminology. .

A comparative analysis between Korean melodrama and other local melodrama
Student name

Most studies in recent times have discovered that Korean dramas have come with a “Korean wave” in media in the global stage. Audiences have been reconceptualised due to the availability of internet and computer that have facilitated the digital revolution. Korean melodrama has earned more views than local melodrama, a result of its marketing its content without owning a means of distribution.
Korean melodrama is a representation of a product that is a hybrid of Hollywood, since Korean melodrama makes use of practices, tools, and conventions in the narrative that comes with the preoccupation of the Korean socio-political and historical aspects. The aspect of familiarity that lacks in local melodrama exists in Korean melodrama. Studies in have shown that audiences tend to respond positively to things they are familiar to and that is exactly what Korean melodrama is.
The use of genre by Korean melodrama is a huge success to its big audiences from the west, as a study by the Korean Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) back in 2015 estimated that around 19 million Americans enjoy Korean melodrama compared to five million who preferred local melodrama as they are a definition of what the world is in reality. The aspect of what is good and what is bad entangled with emotional narratives that give the audience an opportunity to select a hero or a heroine (Martin, 2019).
Korean melodrama are structured in a way that the audience can critique structures of institutional powers and explore a world with aspects of complex social issues. Korean melodrama has a vital element of their characters not being complex and this does not place a huge burden of danger or any sort of conflict in their existing world (Smith, 2017). The study also found out that Korean dramas have integrated aspects of adventures, romance and included professional fields like doctors and police, and lawyer, which are familiar genres to the audience. The structure of the Korean melodrama comes along with themes and selective iconography that make Korean melodrama suitable for global audiences.
Korean drama has earned viewers more than local dramas in the local stage given the Korean dramas depict the actual Korean culture. Most people are attracted to Korean melodrama since they are interested with the reality. A study by a Korean television found out that their supervisor had received more than five hundred emails from people who were not Korean to include English subtitles in their videos. This proves to be a massive support comparing people have less interest in their local drama. Korean drama have earned a huge fan base due to the license agreement of online streaming that was agreed by Korea (Moon, 2019). Studies have recorded that the market of Korean melodrama has around 12% of them wh.

Critical Evaluation of Four Articles On Note Taking
Critical Evaluation of Four Articles On Note Taking
Note taking is the process of recording information from another source and is an integral part of university studies. Comprehensive studies have been conducted to underline the cognitive process of note taking. This essay aims to critique four research articles pertaining to the study of note taking namely by highlighting several pros and cons of certain methodologies used, to improve future researches done on the topic of note taking.
The first article aims to examine whether the use of laptops in note taking impairs learning compared to people who were using the longhand method (Mueller & Oppenheimer, 2014). They conducted three experiments to investigate whether taking notes on a laptop versus writing longhand would affect academic performance, and to explore the potential mechanism of verbatim overlap as a proxy for the depth of processing. They used an experimental design in order to achieve a quantitative result. Using five 15 minutes TED talks lectures, the use of either laptop or longhand method for note taking as a categorical variable, and 67 participant samples from different university research subject pools, they concluded that participants using laptops were more inclined to take verbatim notes than participants using the longhand method. An overlooked procedure of this methodology is that in their first study, either one or two students were placed in an enclosed room.Mueller & Oppenheimer (2014) unknowingly made this a variable in their experiment. Additionally, typical university lectures are done in an occupied lecture hall. Mueller and Oppenheimer (2014) should have had his experiments in a lecture hall with students while testing his participants, emulating an environment similar to the real world. Doing so would increase external validity without sacrificing internal validity. Participants were taken randomly from a pool of voluntary university students, which is a good representation of the larger population for their hypothesis of the experiment. Mueller and Oppenheimer (2014) did not account for how the participants usually took notes in their classes. Instructing the participants to take down notes in a medium they are not used to could have affected their implicit processing of information, affecting results. The experimenters should have divided the participants into two separate groups based on which medium they were more comfortable in using. A third control group whereby participants did not take notes would have been beneficial to this experiment, eliminating compromising factors such as selection threats (Trochim, 2006).
The next article alleviates most of the previously stated concerns. This experiment was conducted to determine whether students’ note-taking and online chatting can influence their recalls of lecture content and note quality (Wei , Wang .

Critique of Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed Method Design
Both quantitative and qualitative methods play a pivotal role in nursing research. Qualitative research helps nurses and other healthcare workers to understand the experiences of the patients on health and illness. Quantitative data allows researchers to use an accurate approach in data collection and analysis. When using quantitative techniques, data can be analyzed using either descriptive statistics or inferential statistics which allows the researchers to derive important facts like demographics, preference trends, and differences between the groups. The paper comprehensively critiques quantitative and quantitative techniques of research. Furthermore, the author will also give reasons as to why qualitative methods should be regarded as scientific.
The overall value of quantitative and Qualitative Research
Quantitative studies allow the researchers to present data in terms of numbers. Since data is in numeric form, researchers can apply statistical techniques in analyzing it. These include descriptive statistics like mean, mode, median, standard deviation and inferential statistics such as ANOVA, t-tests, correlation and regression analysis. Statistical analysis allows us to derive important facts from data such as preference trends, demographics, and differences between groups. For instance, by conducting a mixed methods study to determine the feeding experiences of infants among teen mothers in North Carolina, Tucker and colleagues were able to compare breastfeeding trends among various population groups. The multiple groups compared were likely to initiate breastfeeding as follows: Hispanic teens 89%, Black American teens 41%, and White teens 52% (Tucker et al., 2011).
The high strength of quantitative analysis lies in providing data that is descriptive. The descriptive statistics helps us to capture a snapshot of the population. When analyzed appropriate, the descriptive data enables us to make general conclusions concerning the population. For instance, through detailed data analysis, Tucker and co-researchers were able to observe that there were a large number of adolescents who ceased breastfeeding within the first month drawing the need for nurses to conduct individualized follow-ups the early days after hospital discharge. These follow-ups would significantly assist in addressing the conventional technical problems and offer support in managing back to school transition (Tucker et al., 2011).
Qualitative research allows researchers to determine the client’s perspective on healthcare. It enables researchers to observe certain behaviors and experiences amo.

Peer-Reviewed Article Analysis
Technology has evolved over the years in various sectors, with new technological innovations being developed. One of the areas that has witnessed great applications of technological evolution is in the detection and prevention of crime. This article will analyze the various technologies that are used to prevent and detect crime.
Byrne and Marx (2011) in their article reviews the topic in detail and gives insight in the role of technology in combating crime.
The key data that will be used in this research is secondary data from various peer-reviewed sources that review the topic of Crime Analysis Technology from various perspectives. Byrne and Marx (2011) presents various data on crime and the use of Information Technology in crime detection and prevention. For instance, it highlights that the percentage of schools in the United States that deploy metal detectors is approximately 2%. The article also approximates that as of 2006, one million CCTV cameras had been deployed in the United States, although the article does not provide current estimates on the same.
The article plays a great role in my final research. It gives a highlight of the various technological applications for crime prevention and detection. This can provide a background for further research, especially the technological innovations that are currently being developed. The article also presents figures about various elements of technology in crime prevention and detection such as the number of CCTV cameras, the crime rates such as the registered sex offenders, among others. Projections can therefore be made to the future.
The article mentions several significant facts. First, it classifies technological innovations in criminal justice as hard technology versus soft technology. Hard technology innovations include hardware and materials while soft technology innovations include information systems and computer software. Examples of hard technology is the CCTV cameras, metal detectors, and security systems at homes and schools. Examples of soft technology include predictive policing technology, crime analysis techniques, software, and data sharing techniques, among others. Both of the two categories of technological innovations are important in criminal justice. Another fact is the new technology of policing. The article identifies hard policing technological tools such as non-lethal weaponry and technologies for officer safety. It highlights soft policing technologies such as data-driven policies in policing and information sharing. Another important fact that the article mentions is the issues that should be con.

Introduction
The purpose of a flowchart is to graphically present information in a logical pattern according to whatis.com (2018), usually showing the progression within a process from beginning to end. This flowchart will illustrate the pattern of progression in the criminal justice systems of Canada and India. In most countries policing, the courts, and the correctional systems are interdependent in this relationship, the police are the first step and the other steps follow in a logical progression. The purpose of mapping the steps of these countries criminal justice systems is to give visual context to this progression.
Criminal Justice of Canada
Police
Canada’s criminal justice system is not that different from other systems from around the world. The Canadian system comprised of the police who investigate crimes, collects evidence, and apprehend suspects for trial in the court system. Canada’s policing uses a decentralized multiple coordination model. In Canada, the federal government is constitutionally responsible for legislating in all areas that relate to criminal matters Braiden (2006), but legislating police activity is the responsibility of the provinces.
Each province has passed a Police Act to meet their responsibilities. Police forces in Canada deal with all types of crimes, from Crimes against Persons to Crimes Against Property according to the Canadian Department of Justice (2017). The crime being investigated will dictate the course of the investigation that will follow. To satisfy their role in the criminal justice flowchart the police must collect evidence and this evidence will be used at trial.
The gathering and preserving of evidence according to rules established within the Police Act and federal legislation spelled out in the Canadian Constitution Canadian Department of Justice (2017). Once an investigation occurs with the collection of evidence, and this evidence obtained through interviews and legally issued search warrants the police will develop a most likely and viable suspect and the police will request an arrest warrant for the suspect spelling out who they are looking to arrest and for what crime they wish to arrest them for.
Courts
The arrest is one of the final steps for the police in this matter and the beginning of the court process. The first step in this process is to put the person in custody into a holding cell usually at a detention center, the person is typically seen by a judge or a justice of the peace as soon as possible, this is usually done in twenty-four hours according to the Canadian Department of Justice (2017). At this point, the judge determines a pre-trial date in some cases will release the party on bail.
A bail hearing allows the prosecution to present evidence in hopes to keep the accused in custody. In the Canadian system, the state has all the expense of investigatio.

Founded in 2001, Global Inc. is one of the leading manufacturers of consumer electronics such as personal computers, smartphones, and household appliances among other products. As a limited liability company members are not liable for the organization’s liabilities or debts (Deering & Murphy, 2003). It has experienced growth currently with approximately 13, 500 workers and an annual revenue of $14 billion as of December 2017. Smartphones and personal computers form its major source of revenue which currently comprises 45% of all the revenues. Starting 2009, the company expanded to the international market and has since experienced a growing revenue due to the expanding market share. More so, due to benefits such as cheap and readily available labor, the organization moved some of its manufacturing processes to Indonesia, Bhutan and Hong Kong which has greatly impacted the operational cost enabling it to provide goods at competitive prices.
In 2016, the company faced issues related to labor management as it was established that some of its suppliers employ underage workers and also utilizes bonded labor. It has been an ethical issue faced by the organization whether it should cut ties with the suppliers and find other suppliers. The company did not have any policies that controlled labor management practices by the suppliers hence it was not likely for the organization to act with speed. On the other hand, in the established manufacturing plants in Asian countries, it emerged that some workers received wages lower than the minimum wages in the said countries. These have been the two major issues that have recently tarnished the organization’s public image. However, it has put efforts to turn around the situation and regain its previous public image.

Thesis Statement:
Criminal background checks help in determining a new employee’s behavior on the job, aids in identifying illegal immigration or harbored a fugitives, and acts as a societal norm.
Determining the behaviors of a new employee
One-way Criminal background checks helps employers is through acting as a guide in determining employee behavior before joining their task force. The character of an employee is a factor that should be considered before the employee is offered an opportunity to work for any organisation (Harris & Keller, 2005).
Hiring a criminal puts the security of the customers and employees at risk. Without past information about an employee, an organization is likely to employ a criminal. In this respect, a background check comes in place to make sure that the potential employee has no tarnished background.
Aids in illegal immigration or harboring a fugitive
Criminal background checks can also aid identifying illegal immigrants or harbored fugitives in workplaces. In the modern day, illegal immigration has become a norm in the society. Considering that the illegal immigrants are not citizens of the country, it is evident that any person cannot access their records. A criminal background check does not only help to know the previous criminal engagement activities of a person, but it also helps to know if a person is in the country's system or not.
Acts as a societal norm
Criminal background checks act as a social norm which can help in a nation’s economic growth. The productivity of its citizens dictates the economy of any nation. Ethics and productivity go hand in hand. When one is involved in criminal activities, it is evident that the level of his or her productivity can be questioned (Blumstein & Nakamura, 2009). It has become a norm for the society to try and look if one is associated with shady dealings in the past. The norm has been essential in two different ways. The first way is associated with the aspect of making sure that the people who are engaged in business activities are people with a good reputation and trustworthy (Harris & Keller, 2005). The second way is associated with the influence that the background check has on the members of the society. Most members of the society try as much as they can to avoid engaging in criminal activities because such can affect their future and that promotes a norm of avoiding and staying away from crime.

CRIME ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGY 2
Crime analysis is a function that usually involves the systemic analysis in identifying as well as analyzing the crime patterns and trends. Crime analysis is very important for law enforcement agencies as it helps law enforcers effectively deploy the available resources in a better and effective manner, which enables them to identify and apprehend suspects. Crime analysis is also very significant when it comes to arriving at solutions devised to come up with the right solution to solve the current crime problem and issues as well as coming up with the right prevention strategies. Since the year 2014, crime rates in the USA have increased steadily as per a study done by USAFacts, which is a non-partisan initiative (Osborne & Wernicke, 2013). With this increase in crime rates, which has majorly resulted in massive growth in technology, it is essential to come up with better means and ways of dealing with the increased crime rates. With the current advancement in technology, better law enforcement tools developed, which has enabled better crime deterrence in better and efficient ways. All this has been facilitated by the efforts of crime analysts who have come up with better tools and thus enabling the law enforcers to better deal with the crimes (Osborne & Wernicke, 2013). In this paper, I will consider the application of crime analysis technology and techniques in fighting crimes. Application of crime analysis technology and techniques used to make crime analysis more accurate and efficient.
Currently, the two technological tools that are used in predictive policing software have enabled security agencies to effectively use predictive policing ("Crime Analysis: Fighting Crime with Data," 2017). Application of this software has enabled better crime prevention as with data obtained in the previous crimes have been used to predict possible future severe crimes in a specific area.
Through the adoption and use of crime analysis, law enforcement agencies have been able to fight against crimes as when compared with the past effectively. The use of crime analysis comes at the right time, where there has been an increase in crime rates in the current digital error. In a survey done by Wynyard group in 2015, the study revealed that for every 10 law enforcement officials 9 of them believe that the use of current technology in crime analysis has had positive effects in helping the agencies in solving crimes as they can identify essential links and trends in crimes ("Crime Analysis: Fighting Crime with Data," 2017). In the same way, other sectors have benefited from data analysis with spreadsheets, databases, and mapping, law enforcers have been able to use data analysis to come up with a better decision.

CRIMINOLOGY USE OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS 2
In the wake of technological advances, the use of computers has played a major role especially in criminal justice (Moriarty, (2017). This paper has focused on the use of computer application technologies in criminology and the potential it has in legal systems. From enabling easy access for witnesses to search for accused peoples’ photographs on the screen and go through the whole court procedural activities. Moreover, criminals’ records can be monitored using databases and it is easy to make a follow-up on crimes they have committed in the past and the charges against them. Forensics can also be conducted and investigations can now be carried out easily and very fast. Also, when one is linked to cases, they can be easily identified using forensics and fingerprints. Portable laptops have also helped police officers in getting information and any important details related to a crime at any place without having to go back to their working stations. James (2017), argues that unlike in the past, investigations are done faster due to internet connections and ease of communication between community members and investigative officers through the use of phone gadgets.
Computers have broad variance in usage which has been enhanced by computer applications. For instance, massive record keeping systems have relied for reference on criminal accounts, case records and unresolved warranties. Incorporation of technology in criminology has just made the career easy and also improved livelihoods. Many police units now use computerized applications to keep up with the ever-rising crimes. There are different applications being used nowadays, from mobile technology, to use in-car computers, CCTV camera installations and also software such as the Computer Aided Dispatch. Investigators often use programmed record management systems to monitor information they obtain and guard it properly. With the current technology, it is possible to detect impending crimes, track stolen goods and the culprits, tell which time a crime occurred and also who committed it and where.
Computer applications:
1. In-Car Computer installations in police cars.
Blumstein (2018), contends that this application that allows traffic patrol police to effectively carry out their activities especially when vehicles violate traffic rules. In the current world, things are drifting toward being more computerized than handwritten (Maxfield & Babbie, 2014). Thus event arrest reports are being typed. It also means that after traffic references are written down, they are generated by the computers installed duplicating a copy to the person who breaks the rules. This is seen to reduce paperwork and improve the efficiency of police officers' work.
2. Computer Aided Dispatch

Critical Analysis of the Whistleblower incentives and protection: Are a way of applying investment banking incentives to control management unethical and illegal practices
Introduction
Whistleblower incentives and protection refers to the monetary reward as well as protection which the United States Government offers to the individuals who exposes certain wrongdoings in the community more especially in government institutions. The Federal law requires the government to reward the whistleblowers a certain percentage of money that is recovered following their tips of exposing the wrongdoing acts. This percentage may go up to 30 percent of the total recovered money. In this paper, I will critically analyze whether Whistleblower Incentives and Protection are ways of applying investment banking incentives to control management unethical and illegal practices. And maybe are the whistleblowers rewarded accordingly in terms of security and money.
Problem Statement
What happened?? This is not anything like what was approved or what was in the white paper. Follow the instructions and make a paragraph out of the bullet outline problem
The Problem statement, which will be addressed in this paper, is that, whistle blowers are not given adequate incentives and protection resulting in the difficulty of reporting wrongdoing, misconduct and unethical behaviors. According to Andon, et al., (2018), Lack of whistle blower incentives and protection makes it difficult for whistle blowers to report wrongdoing, as they feel insecure. “The current whistle blowing system is not effective and therefore does not provide the basis for investigation of corruption cases and any misconduct within a company (Ballan, 2017). In support of Ballan’s views on the whistle blowing system, Keith, Todd & Oliver, (2016) indicated that the managers aren’t empowered to sanction employees involved in unethical behaviors because of lack of whistle blower incentives which are reinforced by the Federal laws.
Specifically, failure of finance department to offer adequate whistleblowers incentives as well as protection within the investment – banking sector in the United States. As per Keith, Todd & Oliver, (2016), in their recent research, they recommended that the finance department in any organization is a very critical area that can determine the overall performance of an organization. Failure to provide whistleblower incentives and protection to finance staff makes it difficult for them to report unethical behaviors.
Research Questions

Conceptual Framework
The theoretical basis that led to the research was an increased number of injuries resulting from pressure ulcers, and this led to the need for having a study to find the ways that were effective for preventing such occurrences.
The theoretical framework that led to this study was that pressure ulcers have become a major challenge and a challenging goal when it came to providing healthcare for pressure ulcer patients. Therefore, it led to the need to have a study that could deal with the challenge.
The theoretical framework that necessitated this research was the incidence of pressure ulcers that were increasing because of the poor and aging population as well as the elderly that were living with incidences of disability.
Pressure ulcers were highly associated with significant mortality and morbidity and high costs of healthcare services, and this led to the need for a study to review the situation.

Introduction
Plato’s allegory of the cave is a notion about human perception. Plato argued that knowledge acquired through the senses is just an opinion but for one to acquire knowledge then it must be through philosophical cognitive. Plato gives an analogy of the prisoners tied to some rocks in a cave since they were born. They cannot see anything except shadows of objects carried by people walking in the walkway. Since the prisoners had not seen the real objects ever since they were born, they believe that these shadows are real. Fortunately, one prison escapes from the cave and meets the real world and recognizes that his perception of reality was mistaken. He goes back to the cave and informs the other prisoners what he found. Unfortunately, they don’t believe him (Alam 5).
Overview of Gogol’s Overcoat and Lahiri’s Namesake
The overcoat is a story written by Nikolai Gogol about Akaky Akakievich, an underprivileged government clerk in Russia. Though he is devoted to his work, his hard work goes unrecognized by his colleagues who joke about his overcoat. When his overcoat is worn out he decides to get it fixed but his tailor advises him to get a new one because the old one was beyond repair. His tailor finally makes a new coat for Akaky which makes his colleagues celebrate him by throwing a party for him. His coat does not last long because it is stolen and Akaky’s efforts to get it back do not bear fruit. He dies of fever (Yilmaz 195).
Namesake is a story about Indian immigrants who settle in the US. Soon after, they get a baby boy who is given a temporal pet name by his father: Gogol. When he starts kindergarten Gogol is given his good name, Nikhil, which he rejects and clings to his pet name. But when he grows up Gogol knows the meaning of his name and starts to despise it. At the age of eighteen, he changes his legal name to Nikhil. He becomes acculturated and adopts the American way of life. That way he feels comfortable around his friends and especially the girlfriend. It was after his father’s death that he knew the true meaning of his name and changed it again to Gogol (Jaya 158).
The relevance of Plato’s Allegory of the cave on Gogol’s ‘Overcoat’ and Lahiri’s ‘Namesake’
The most significant insinuation of these stories is how the two main characters change their identity. Both of them were not named after they were born. Coincidentally, their fathers picked their names for them. As the writers of these two stories put it, these two characters could not be given any other names. These two characters are comfortable with their identities just like the prisoners in the cave (Ledbetter 130).
Akaky is afraid of changing his old ways of doing things. He was seen in the same position and place with the same uniform, his overcoat, and this made his supervisors believe that he was born as a r.

As far as the definition to my words is concerned, metacommunication can be defined as all nonverbal cues experienced by different people. Some of the metacommunications experienced by people include; tone of voice, gestures, facial expression and body language. On matters related to the facial expression, it can be used to show the feelings of the people involved in an incident. However, different people should be encouraged to understand the use of the metacommunication in ensuring that the society is able to operate in an effective manner. Again, gestures can be used in ensuring that communication is enhanced amongst different people. The use of gestures plays important roles in ensuring that different ideas are shared in the best way possible (Hazari, 2019).
On the other hand, evaluative communication can be used for the purposes of causing defensiveness by ensuring that judgment is passed. It is through that whereby majority of the people are enabled to focus on the problem experienced hence making it easy for the right solution to be found. The ability of people to focus on the problem can be used in ensuring that the required solution is identified therefore reducing the issues experienced by the people. However, majority of people should be encouraged to engage in evaluative communication for the purposes of ensuring that the solution to the issues experienced is found (Ma, 2020).

As a result, the man is required to change his social life their living according to the cultures of the parents in law (Brown, 2020).
As far as the episode is concerned, the man had to go and hence live with the female’s family. It is through that whereby the man was required to change his lifestyle and hence adapt the live from the female’s family.

Introduction
In this paper, I will argue that “Intimate Partner” is used to represent any inclusive romantic or sexual relationship between two non-biologically-related people. Ideally, these kinds of relationships show lots of love and support for each other. Unfortunately, some people do not act like the ideal condition and abuse their partners cause considerable emotional or physical pain and injury (Belknap, Chu, & Deprince, 2012). Sometimes abusing behavior brings violence and makes the worse situation ever. Different type of abuses such as emotional abuse, economic abuse, social isolation, physical abuses takes place in case of creating intimate partner violence. Sometimes some people start to stalk their partners with generating a different motive such as anger, hostility, paranoia, and delusion towards their partners (Belknap, Chu, & Deprince, 2012). One partner verbally threats his/her partner through using emails, text messaging, and social network Internet sites. In 2012, 4th February, a 21-year-old California boyfriend had bound legs of his girlfriend with tape and threatened her with pointing a gun towards her and beaten her, and kept her for nine days. This situation occurred as the girl received a text message from another man on her cellphone (Belknap, Chu, & Deprince, 2012). It is clear that technology can lead to intimate partner abuse. In this paper, I will argue that technology in terms of electronic devices can be used as the trigger for more intimate partner violent abuse. Comment by Sarah McMahon: I would suggest having someone review your writing to help improve your ability to convey your ideas. Comment by Sarah McMahon: I am wondering what this means- different from what? From IPV? It seems to me that it is a similar motive so I am unclear. Comment by Sarah McMahon: The purpose of this assignment is: “Develop an argument that compares these types of violence in a specific way(s), such as the root causes, the impact on victims, society's perception of the crime, or our response to the crime. How are they similar or different?” I am not sure your thesis answers that question?
Causes and Impact of Intimate Partner Violence and Stalking and Electronic Abuse
These days, out of ten women, one lady murdered or badly injured by her intimate partner. Life threatening matters are the most common factor which can create physical violence among intimate partners. Comment by Sarah McMahon: This is not a full sentence. I would suggest having someone proofread your paper as I suggested last time. Comment by Sarah McMahon: I am unclear on what this means.

Counselor Ethics and Responsibilities
To be a successful counselor and abide within the ethical and legal guidelines, counselors must take into consideration what is involved in providing sound and ethical judgements. Being a counselor should not be taken lightly, someone is trusting us to provide them with the best care possible and assist in finding solutions that will possibly work for the betterment of their livelihood. Counselors must ensure that their clients confidentiality will not be misused and counselor’s guarantee that appropriate measures are in place to provide a professional, safe, nonjudgmental environment.
Client Rights
Principles of Ethical Practice
There are five key principles of ethical practices, and Davis and Miller (2014), references Kitchener (2000) models on the following five principles:
a.) Autonomy addresses the concept of independence. Counselors should make sure they are not pushing their own values and beliefs onto clients, but rather encourage them to make their own decisions and act within their values. He/She would ensure clients fully understand how their differences may affect others whether positive or negative. He/She would also ensure they are competent to understand the choices they are making are theirs without any other influences. Clients who are children or persons with mental limitations, he/she need to make sure they have a well-informed, competent adult making decisions in their best interest.
b.) Nonmaleficence is the concept of not causing harm to others. Professionals should ensure clients are positively engaged during sessions and are not misconstruing information given to them.
c.) Beneficence shows the responsibility of the counselor contributing to the safety of the client. Incorporate positive outlooks and thinking in sessions. Periodically asking clients about their feelings, depending on the circumstances to make sure they have no intentions on harming themselves and be proactive when necessary.
d.) Justice in counseling means “treating equals equally and unequals unequally” (Davis & Walker, 2016). If I am providing services to two clients who are depressed. One is depressed and suicidal and the other client is not, more attention would be devoted to the client who is suicidal, and the proper steps would be taken to ensure the client does no harm to himself.
e.) Fidelity includes being, loyal, faithful and committed. Maintaining and having trust within the client-counselor relationship is crucial to successful progress, once that trust is broken, the client may leave and seek treatment elsewhere, or worse harm themselves or others. Clients need to be able to talk to about their feelings no matter how bad they think their situation is.

Company Culture and Communication Obstacle
Northwest Valley Community College has a culture of providing the best learning environment to its students and ensuring that school staff communicate effectively without experiencing unauthorized access to their data and information. Also, its culture is ingrained in ensuring its students are working in an environment that is healthy and safe. The management of Northwest Community understands the importance of having a healthy learning environment and effective communication network inside and outside the school premises. As such, Kelsey Elementary school is setting up measures to implement a detailed communication training plan for staff and students to gain information safety skills.
This plan will be developed by a strategic communication team selected by the school. This plan will be designed in a way that it provides a framework to manage and coordinate communication among the students, instructors and parents. The plan will identify efficient communication channels, standards, appropriate audience, and frequency. This plan will require a shared responsibility among management, students, communication team and students. After the implementation of this communication plan, the team will measure its effectiveness to ensure it meets the expected objectives and goals.
Needs and Tasks Analysis
Northwest Valley Community Collwgw communication team will conduct a needs and analysis task to determine the training needs. The management will be able to know who needs the training and the kind of training required. The following are the steps the company will use to conduct training needs analysis.
· Organizational Analysis: The school management should work with the teachers to identify the priorities of student training. In this case, the management will conduct an evaluation to ensure the training goes hand-in-hand with the school’s goals and objectives.
· Secondly, the management will list specific types of communication channels to be utilized within the school environment. Also, they will specify the skills and competencies needed by employees to ensure they clearly understand how to utilize these communication channels. By doing this, they will have a solid foundation on who should conduct the training and how it should be conducted. (Liaw, 2014)
· The last step will involve the identification of staff members who need to undergo communication training. However, since it is a learning institution, every staff member and students will be subject to training.
Research Technique
Northwest Valley management has decided to implement an external training program to address the training plan. Therefore, they need to identify and understand the organization’s communication training needs. As such, they should start by hiring an e.

Abstract
The homeless population in communities across the United States is vulnerable to physical and mental illnesses, largely due to a lack of medical treatment resources and harsh environmental conditions. Rehabilitation centers and programs aimed at closing the gap between this population’s lack of resources and medical needs can help address many of the problems this population faces. Social programs aimed at reducing homelessness or intervening in the lives of homeless populations do not necessarily extend beyond providing food, shelter, and a means to economically transition from being homeless to being a non-homeless member of society. Mental illness is one of the barriers to economic sustainability and sustenance that have been recorded in this population. The aim of the proposed program is to offer a means of treatment for this population, using a sample size of 20. Another vital aim of the program is to examine the correlation between the homeless population, their environmental circumstances, and mental illness. It is the program leaders’ hope that the program’s analyzation of the data will lead to new intervention, treatment methods, and deep understanding of how mental illness plays a role in homelessness.

To Whom It May Concern,
An estimated 500,000 individuals are homeless in our community and are at risk of developing serious, uncontrollable health issues (Rogers, 2018). Our grant proposal’s main objective is to improve the well-being of the homeless population within our community. Besides physical ailments and diseases that may impact the homeless population, mental health issues and challenges will need to be addressed as part of this proposal. Specifically, our project seeks to reduce the prevalence of drug addiction and substance abuse amongst the homeless.
Utilizing a case study research design, our project will aim to analyze data pertaining to the relationship(s) between our community’s homeless population and drug addiction/substance abuse. A sample size of 20 will be selected from the Homeless Health Education Group. The projected timeline for the project is three years. It will focus on providing psychiatric intervention, reduce health problems, and provide mental health care. A rehabilitation center will be established to meet these objectives. Technology assets will be necessary to enhance efficiency and collect data reports from the 20 members of the sample population (Gitilin & Lyons, 2014; Marchewka, 2014).
Management and oversight will need to be incorporated into the proposal to ensure the project achieves its mission (Burke, 2013). The project’s projected budget expenditures total $1.638 million and its projected revenues total approx.

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Running Head ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD .docx
- 1. Running Head: ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD 1 ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD 5 Electronic Health Record Name Course Title and Number Professor’s name Date Electronic Health Record Introduction EHR is a systemized digital chart that contain collective information about patients. The EHR at Practice Fusion offers free sign up which offers an experience that does not incur any cost. There are minimal requirements to sign up as only personal information is needed. Navigation around the record is
- 2. efficient and easy due to the availability of tutorials. The information is provided instantly through the easy access from any location, making it relatively fast. Information security is enhanced because access to the records is only by authorized users (Shan 2015) Charting with doctors is a feature in the EHR and there are many doctors present to attend to patients. Online services present at the system are effective because I have the ability to book appointment online. The history of a patient treatment can be recovered from the records for further treatment. Information from the EHR can be shared between doctors in different departments or facilities that facilitates treatment at different locations and facilities. Standards Acute care is treatment that is short-term but treats severe injuries and illness. Ambulatory care involves the outpatient care where patients receive treatment and go home the same day without admission in the hospital. There are certain standards that govern the EHR in this type of care. For both the medical care, security and privacy standards should be maintained. This entails that those who are authorized to access patient information should not disclose the information to anyone. This promotes confidentiality and privacy. The EHR keeps lists of all the problem as per the standards for reference in continuous treatment. Medication issued to patients also have to be listed to provide a follow up. The EHR offers information on all allergies affecting customers together with their preventive measures. According to the regulations the EHR should be enabled to exchange and share patient information. The ERH has to be certified by the health and human services. Challenges The web-based nature of the EHR poses as a threat to healthcare provider as records are vulnerable to hacking. Information leakage may damage the reputation of the provider. Healthcare providers’ maybe resistance to EHR due to time taken to adapt
- 3. the system. The adaptation duration decreases productivity hence ineffective in initial stages. Doctor patient interactions are disrupted by the EHR due to lack of face to face appointments. Doctors tend to overlie on the EHR systems to make decision which leads to poor medical assistance. The EHRs are relatively expensive because most are offered to patients for free and have to integrate with old systems in the healthcare. Change in work flow brought by EHR is not embraced by the providers as there is interruption. Issues associated with the use and maintenance of the EHR poses as a challenge to the providers (Wu 2013) Features of EHR The practice fusion EHR is absolutely free which makes accessibility easy for all patients. The EHR provides reports on various sections. There is an activity feed where the patients in puts his or her personal data. Chart reports are present and are shared among physicians in a similar network. There is a live feed from patients and physicians can contact a patient of their choice. The EHR contains patient’s history in terms of medication and diagnosis. Records of patient’s lab tests are in the system for doctors to analyze and prescribe medication through the e-prescribing tab. E-prescribing has a prescription history and email tab for sending dosage instructions and information. Centers for patients to receive disease control together with immunization records are included in the system (Basu 2012) What impresses about Web-based HER Accessibility of the EHR in any given location is an impressive aspect and advantage. No charges incurred when accessing the services as the EHR is free. Booking of appointment online saves on time and is very efficient making it an advantage. E- prescription allows for treatment at the one’s personal comfort together with online billing. Availability of tutorials increases efficiency in navigation and accessing doctors. References

- 5. Unit 9 Assignment Health care providers, managers, and administrators are faced with a variety of ethical issues. These issues range from right to life and abortion to right to die and physician assisted suicide. Common ethical issues found in health care can include legalizing the market for human organs, end of life issues, and respecting religious beliefs. Should we Legalize the Market for Human Organs? “Nearly 7,000 people in the United States alone die each year while waiting on the list for an organ transplant (Social and Ethical Issues - A Market for Human Organs.). The demand for solid organs far beats the number of organs available from deceased donors, also known as cadavers. Organ donation by living donors (altruistic) clearly saves lives, improves transplantation, and decreases recipients’ waiting times (Read "Organ Donation: Opportunities for Action" at NAP.edu.). An ethical concern about living unrelated donation that arises is that the organ is actually being sold or that financial incentives partially motivate the donation. UNOS policy maintains that donors may not receive compensation for their donation, and cannot even receive payment for follow-up treatments, or even transportation and lodging during the period of surgery (Social and Ethical Issues - A Market for Human Organs.). Compensating living donors’ opens up the possibility of “using” poor and underprivileged people while also increasing the risk that potential donors will withhold important medical information (Read "Organ Donation: Opportunities for Action" at NAP.edu.). If legalizing the sale of human organ we often wonder how can we be sure that the organs people are donating for monetary compensation are not infected, or these donors are not lying about their medical history? It can also be argued that misuse would increase if legalization of an organ market were to occur. While the legalization of organ markets may eliminate a black market for organs, it may also create a market for crime
- 6. and violence. In the end, the goal is to save lives. People can, and currently will do, what they need to get an organ. Whether this is paying someone under the table or going to the black market, this always going to be an issue up for debate. End of Life Issues End-of-life care decision making carries vital importance due to the advancements in medical sciences (Karnik, S., & Kanekar, A. 2016, June). Advancements in medical technology are changing the means of natural death. “Decision-making” for end-of-life care has earned vital importance as it has capability to prolong human life with the support of medical technologies or can let the natural death process continue by foregoing the treatment option (Karnik, S., & Kanekar, A. 2016, June). “Decision making” is a very complex process of thoughts and sets-up various challenges for patients and their families to make up an end-of-life care decision. Autonomy gives patients’ a right to control their treatment according to their preferences, though many a times their autonomy is not respected (Karnik, S., & Kanekar, A. 2016, June). Healthcare professionals can play an important role by providing detailed information about an advanced medical treatment which can be used during end- of-life care . Physicians have to reach a mutual agreement with the patient about withholding or withdrawing a futile treatment and explain the drawbacks of unrealistic expectations from the treatment (Karnik, S., & Kanekar, A. 2016, June). An “advance directive” enables competent individuals to design and document their health care decision plan in advance in case of future disability or terminal illness (Ethical Debates: End of Life Issues - Who Chooses and When and Why? 2013, June 09). In the case of incapacitated individuals, families play a central role as proxies or primary care givers. Families playing the crucial role of proxy are emotionally attached to the incapacitated patient and due to their moral interest may be diversified in opting for a treatment or declining them ((Ethical Debates: End of Life Issues - Who Chooses and When and Why? 2013, June 09). The technological advancements and
- 7. innovations are reshaping the decisions and treatment preferences surrounding end-of-life care. People should understand that they are humans and consider getting information and making plans for end-of-life care preferences. Ethical Debates: End of Life Issues - Who Chooses and When and Why?
