Tele Healthcare
Approximately over 50 years of telehealth development has seen tackling of numerous medical conditions through the utilization of different types of technologies. Tele healthcare has been associated with a wide variety of outcomes in the healthcare. Despite the fact that it as shown great promise in the modern times, it has also triggered a number of challenges for interpretation and technical issues that are linked to the lack of technological expertise among the healthcare practitioners. For instance, then challenges that exist in defining such terms as telehealth is a reflection of the broader difficulties when it comes to the interpretation of the complex interplay that exists between clinical output, patient involvement, service designs and technology. Despite these significant challenges whose impacts in the healthcare delivery is great, the significance of telehealth practices cannot be overlooked in terms of the patient outcomes and efficiency of healthcare delivery. Tele healthcare has enhanced information sharing between patients and doctors even those who are located in the remote areas. It has made it possible to monitor the progress of patients within and outside the facilities devoid of the need to have physical meetings. The benefits of tele healthcare outweigh its pitfalls hence it is important that is integrated into medical practices to optimize patient outcomes.
Tele healthcare is depicted as personalized healthcare that is delivered over a long distance such that data is transferred from the patients to the professionals and back. It has played a key role in enhancing feedback from the patients to the professionals for the interest of evidence-based decision making and treatment. For instance, the significance of telehealth can be evident among the inpatients with severe long-term conditions such as diabetes and long-term asthma. It has played a key role in reducing hospital admissions without increasing mortality.
Advantages of Tele Healthcare
There are numerous advantages of tele healthcare. To start with is that it is powered by technology. Technological advancement in the modern times has made it easy for various organizational operations. Technological advancement has been adopted across all spheres of life and healthcare is not an exemption. Creating a balance between healthcare practices and technology is a key requirement when it comes to the medical operations and practices (Dorsey & Topol, 2016). The case of the importance of tele healthcare can be witnessed in electronic health records whereby a medical professional admits the patient and their data is keyed in the system.

1. You are to research (find evidence), compose, and type a scholarly paper based on the scenario described above. Reflect on what you have learned in this class to date about technology, privacy rights, ethical issues, interoperability, patient satisfaction, consumer education, and other topics. Your text by Hebda (2013, Chapter 25) discusses telehealth in detail. However, your focus should be on the professional nurse’s role in telehealth, such as telenursing. Therefore, do not limit your review of the literature to your text. Nurses in various specialties need to know about the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing as it applies to their patients. For example, when you discharge a patient from an acute care setting, will a telenursing service assist that individual with staying out of the hospital? You may need to apply critical thinking skills to development of your paper.
2. Use Microsoft Word and APA formatting to develop your paper. Consult the Publication manual of the APA, 6th edition if you have questions, for example, margin size, font type and size (point), use of third person, and so forth. Take advantage of the writing service, Smarthinking, which is accessed by clicking on the link called the Tutor Source, found under the Course Home tab.

Nursing Informatics and Patient Outcomes and Care Efficiencies
Introduction
Information technology has changed nursing landscape and how the profession is moving in the current time. Nursing informatics is slowly revolutionizing healthcare, where capabilities to offer remote care has been implemented, while making patient integration in health delivery. Informatics has enabled the nurses to identify new healthcare risks and develop early interventions before they become public health concerns by controlling them on time. Adoption of nursing informatics in healthcare will transform the nursing profession and lead to better patient outcomes. Nursing informatics makes the healthcare patient based, more patient integration, and better patient outcomes. This project proposal highlights the impact of nursing informatics on patient outcomes by ensuring the preferred plan of care is accessible and all patient needs are accommodated.
Project
The project proposes a more system integrated approach for improving patient symptoms, illnesses that correspond to patient symptoms, and offering the appropriate plan of care. This will improve patient care making it easier to maneuver and ensure care systems are tracked within and without the healthcare system. ...

Assignment 1
Part 1: Defining the Problem
Problem Identification
According to Ludwick and Doucette (2009), one of the primary issues in healthcare is the reduced standard of patient care due to the continued non-integration of technology in medical-based facilities. The result is a poor entry of patient data, coupled with a system that cannot be relied upon in the long term. In this context, Black et al. (2011) are of the opinion that it is mandatory for all healthcare facilities to incorporate electronic health records systems and shift from the use of manual-based recording strategies.
Comment by Author: Use all of participating authors the first time listing
Problem Statement
The continued utilization of manual health-based recording system in the contemporary society leads to reduced efficiency. It also negatively affects the overall outcome of healthcare delivery at the expense of the patient.
Problem Description
The continued use of paper-based records in the modern society is inefficient as compared to hospices that use electronic-based recording system. First, the use of the latter focuses on patient-centered care whereby there it leads to reduced repetition of tests, as there is no scattering of test results in various hospitals. In addition, the paper-based recording system is redundant as the access to a patient’s records by a medical health provider is limited by the location of the doctor as well as the time they can access the hospital (Black et al. 2011). However, the latter is not limited by the mentioned entities since data can be sent electronically at any time and place to the doctor. The problem is directly related to my discipline since patients that undergo recording of their personal information through the manual-based recording system are prone to medical errors. According to Ludwick and Doucette (2009), such errors may involve poor drug administration, especially if a patient may prove allergic to various subscribedprescribed medications. Besides, the electronic-based records will result in increased monitoring of a patient, which leads to faster healthcare delivery, which is the objective of studying my discipline.
Purpose Statement
The reduced efficiency coupled with the adverse outcome caused by paper-based recording systems will be obliterated upon the incorporation of the electronic-based recording system. The objective related to the implementation of the project is increased efficiency and improved quality of healthcare delivery to the patients.
Part 2: Defining a Searchable, Answerable Question:
Population/Patient Problem:
1. What are the efficiency rates concerning number of patients that are bound to benefit from the incorporation of the electronic-based records?
Comment by Author: Needs to clarify what the rates are referring? Efficiency of what?
2. Does the electronic health recording provide any unique advantages over the manual recording system regarding the health status, of a patient?

Study Background: The telehealth in home health care study aimed to determine patients’ satisfaction
with or without the use of telehealth technology in home health care. As the population continues to age and
manage chronic disease, the use of tools such as telehealth assists the home health or visiting nurse to provide
the best care and education to patients. Understanding patients’ perceptions regarding telehealth technologies

NURS 438 Trends And Issues In Nursing And Health Systems.docxstirlingvwriters
This document discusses trends and issues related to medical errors in nursing and health systems. It outlines several common causes of medical errors, including communication problems, inadequate information flow, and technical errors. Communication issues between nurses and patients can lead to medication errors, while inadequate discharge instructions and a lack of information for patients post-hospitalization can also result in errors. Technical failures of medical equipment during procedures have caused patient injuries and deaths. Reducing these types of errors will help improve safety and outcomes in healthcare.

NURS 438 Trends And Issues In Nursing And Health Systems.docxstirlingvwriters
This document discusses trends and issues related to medical errors in nursing and health systems. It outlines several common causes of medical errors, including communication problems, inadequate information flow, and technical errors. Communication issues between nurses and patients can lead to medication errors, while inadequate discharge instructions and a lack of information for patients post-hospitalization can also result in errors. Technical failures of medical equipment during procedures have caused patient injuries and deaths. Reducing these types of errors will help improve safety and outcomes in healthcare.

Importance of research in the feild of medical scienceIram Anwar
Medical education research aims to advance medical knowledge and skills by evaluating educational programs, policies, people, resources, culture, and students. Research helps build critical thinking skills, knowledge of academic literature, and connections in areas of interest. Involvement in research can strengthen residency applications and increase chances of interviews. While research is most important for competitive specialties, strong academic performance and clerkship evaluations are generally more significant factors than research alone. Research experience provides skills that are valuable for physicians, but should not detract from academic achievements.

Problems Faced in the Medical Industries
Executive Summary
It is important for all health care professionals to ensure that due care is provides to them. This requires all qualified medical doctors give patients the time for diagnosis and subsequent treatment. In many health care centers, doctors may be overwhelmed leading to cases where their assistants have to step in and take over their role. In the process, this may compromise the quality of care accorded to the patients and may have significant ramifications legally and otherwise. There are, however, certain measures that can be taken to deal with this problem. One such measure rests on restructuring the system in a manner which the PA’s see them first and do the initial assessment, and then one of the doctors do the final assessment. This might mean cutting down the number of patients seen per day so that the PA’s and Doctors can better focus on taking good care of the ones they do see. This proposal will examine who this system will be implemented in a selected health care center highlighting the benefits that accrue from it.
Purpose
At Family Healthcare Associates, Inc., physicians and their assistants have always been challenged with huge number of patients in their clinics. The aim of this strategy is to reduce the cost of operation for the clinic due to huge medical expenses available in the market today. Senior management needs to adopt a business like strategy to ensure the clinic remain a float and doctors have enough time to focus on each patient per specific period of time (Fattal, 2011).
Problem
The cost of maintaining Family Healthcare Associates, Inc. has been a challenge due to increase in salaries and financial packages. These increases in financial expenditure by the clinic have made it impossible to manage doctor-patient relationship that most clinics have set standards for. These challenges can pose a threat to the health of many patients who require immediate medical attention on time. The Doctors have such a busy schedule that they do not have the personal one on one relationships with any of their patients that they need to have in order to fully know what is going on with their patients.
One of the most common scenarios where patients and doctors experience these challenges happens during emergencies. Doctors have to abandon their current patients in order to attend to more urgent emergencies of another patient (Gropper, 2009). This isn’t always a big problem in small clinics today, but it does happen from time to time. Sometimes doctors can leave the patient unattended for a long time which can cause health care problems for the patient in the future.

This document discusses leadership for patient engagement in the NHS. While the NHS has focused on public consultations and one-off engagement initiatives, true culture change is required to make services patient-centered. Leaders face challenges in shifting beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors away from disease-focused care toward responsive, empowering care centered around patients' needs and preferences. Successful approaches require strategic, system-wide efforts to engage patients in shared decision-making, self-management of long-term conditions, and improving quality by understanding patients' perspectives. Isolated projects are easier than changing mainstream practice to prioritize the patient experience in all interactions and functions.
The document summarizes key topics covered in a Professional Capstone and Practicum course, as reflected in a student's journal. The journal addresses new practice approaches learned, including evidence-based practice and intraprofessional collaboration. It also discusses healthcare delivery systems, ethics, population health, the role of technology, health policy, leadership models, and health disparities. The student reflects on strengthening their cultural competence and how the course helped them meet competencies.
The medical interview is the physician's most important diagnostic and therapeutic tool, but is difficult to master. It provides valuable patient information, yet receives little training focus. Effective communication skills like rapport building and active listening are especially important for EMTs and other pre-hospital providers to obtain information from patients. Models like partnership, shared decision making, and AIDET promote patient-centered care through open communication. Developing strong patient-doctor relationships requires commitment to caring communication skills.
PLEASE UNPLOAD EACH DISCUSSION SEPARATELYAccording to Deloitte (2019CicelyBourqueju
PLEASE UNPLOAD EACH DISCUSSION SEPARATELYAccording to Deloitte (2019) “Digital technologies are supporting health systems’ efforts to transition to new models of patient-centered care and helping them develop “smart health” approaches to increase access and affordability, improve quality, and lower costs. New technologies are helping with diagnosis and treatment; helping with speed, quality, and accuracy; and improving the patient experience.” (the U.S. and Global Health Care Industry Outlook)While we can likely agree with the statement above, we also know this transformation inevitably comes with many challenges for both healthcare providers and consumers. Resistance to change is one of the biggest challenges. With emerging technologies, customer experience and exposure to information technology are increasing. The explosion of patient portals, portable technology, self-monitoring wearable devices, etc.… has created a more aware, assertive, and educated patient. How you feel about these changes will greatly impact the success you have with it. Challenges are many, and reflection upon your feelings is vital.Assess the challenges of technological advances in Healthcare.Include the following aspects in the discussion:1) Using your text and other course resources investigate ways to make the digital transformation process as smooth as possible2) Provide an approach from a patient education perspective3) Discuss your personal point of view regarding the health care technology revolution

Any change in process is difficult, especially when dealing with a large team or a complex system such as healthcare. When transition into a more advanced digital technology it becomes even more difficult when dealing with the variety of backgrounds and ages the team ranges. Sullivan places it in 5 easier steps to help the transition into a more digital area easier. Those steps include starting with a baseline, conducting a needs assessment, building out the technology and process roadmap, executing and delivering, and ensuring ongoing holistic services and support (Sullivan, 2019). Starting with a baseline is assessing the current system in place and conducting a needs assessment is identifying areas of improvement. Building out the technology and process roadmap is correctly identifying to proper system that best resolves those needs and creating a plan. Executing and delivering is executing the plan that was set with a full team exciting and engaged in the process change. Lastly, ensuring ongoing holistic services and support is continuing to support the staff even after the process and plan is completed to allow for proper support for new team members or other problems that may arise. The best approach I find for patient education perspective is information communication model. This mo ...

December 1st , 2019
P: Adults on an Acute Care floor
I: Required education on the Braden Scale
C: Standard Practice
O: Decrease in Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcers
PICOT QUESTION: Does the required education on the Braden scale increase nursing interventions for Adult patients on an acute care floor at risk of developing pressure ulcers during hospitalization?
Currently, most hospitals are faced with a clinical problem of acquired pressure ulcers. According to Pittman et al (2015), hospital-acquired pressure ulcers remain one of the persistent and relevant issues that need to be addressed in long-term hospital stay patients. Health care is attempting to implement evidence-based protocols, though patients continue to suffer from this prevalent and preventable injury. Health care institutions are facing a big challenge for the patients with this acquired condition because hospital bills continue to balloon and at the same time insurance companies stopped paying for this condition. Research shows that pressure ulcer is preventable; though, in spite of hospitals striving to integrate evidence-based approaches to curb the issue, it continues to remain a serious issue for long-term hospital stay patients. This PICOT statement this research paper is proposing to use is a Braden Scale which can be used by nurses in their practice to reduce hospital-acquired pressure injuries which will reduce the patient stay in the hospital as well as the bills burden in the hospital.
Evidence-Based
Solution
According to Engels et al (2016), “the importance of using evidence-based practice in long-term care hospitals to reduce prevalent pressure ulcers is to promote a safe cost-effective outcome for our patients, families, and the healthcare group. Research needs to be conducted and qualitative data collected when designing an evidence-based solution to hospital-acquired injuries”. Despite a lot of research being conducted from the past years concerning acquired pressure ulcers, many patients continue to get the disease. Evidence-based practice allows the nurse to get pooled in a team of experts where interdisciplinary collaboration becomes the ultimate objective for nurses to practice autonomy that enhances change in the nursing field based on data. “The nursing research utilizes qualitative and quantitative logical methods and an EBP approach aimed at around the study and change of patient consideration, understanding consideration frameworks, and patient results” (Mervis & Phillips, 2019). This PICOT question will effectively apply the Braden Scale to see how it can positively impact long-term hospital in reducing pressure ulcers injuries.

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.

Discussion Topic:
In Chapter 3 of your textbook, various methodological techniques for studying the social world are discussed. A key aspect of sociological research is utilizing the power of observation. Applying what you have learned about sociological research: First, discuss the role of observational research as a key methodology for studying society. Second, utilizing nonparticipant observation, participant observation, ethnography or netnography observe and record a detailed account of a social context or virtual social context that you are no stranger to (think local coffee shop, shopping mall, church or night club, a blog, twitter feed, or Instagram) from a sociological perspective. Be careful to be objective and ethically neutral. Do not include judgments or opinions of behaviors but rather, as best as possible, systematic observations. Third, discuss how a common-sense view of that social setting may look different from a sociological one. Does looking through the lens of sociological research methodology transform how that social space may be viewed. Substantiate your views. Fourth and finally, post a response to another classmate's posting discussing your thoughts in a respectful and thoughtful manner. What stood out to you about their observations and the behaviors occurring?

Abstract
Background: Providing health services to an ageing population is challenging, and in rural areas even more so. It is
expensive to provide high quality services to small populations who are widely dispersed; staff and patients are
often required to travel considerable distances to access services, and the economic downturn has created a
climate where delivery costs are under constant review. There is potential for technology to overcome some of
these problems by decreasing or ceasing the need for patients and health professionals to travel to attend/de.

Patient safety issues in healthcare can arise from errors such as misdiagnosis, poor communication between providers, and an overburdened healthcare system. The most common causes of safety lapses are preventable adverse events stemming from diagnostic errors, failures to consider patient context, and miscommunication. Implementing electronic health records and improving communication standards and leadership can help create a culture of safety to reduce errors and protect patients.

Introduction
Health care sector is experiencing many transformations in service delivery and in patient handling. There are immense trends all around the world including technology that not only change the delivery of health care but also the way the system is conceived (Tan, 2011). In the hospital setting, technology is the pillar for efficiency, accurate record keeping, increased accessibility to healthcare and transition of healthcare to homes. The effects of technology in the County Hospital administrators include efficient support systems which enhance quality services through use of electronic medical records and other information transmission systems. Technological advances enhances understand diseases and discoveries and development of new therapies through genome decoding.
Scope of the senior Project
The impact of technology in regards to employee performance, organization structure and management planning.
Evidence-based medicine through technology will enable healthcare providers to establish standard protocols to be used in treatment of many diseases.
Effects of healthcare trend on treatment cost
In the world today, payers have a huge role in making decision on the type of treatment that a patient receives following the rising cost of medical services. Therefore, it is evident that technology has empowered patients in the choice of treatment option that they receive.
Moreover, technology enhances data management and ultimate coordination among healthcare providers (Ho, 2012). Patient files are easily accessible from anywhere following the extensive use of databases which have also cut down the cost of care services in the hospital. Healthcare providers can use invasive procedures with the increased technological advances. Imaging has reduced the task of examination by technicians and physicians on human anatomy.
Effects of health care trend on quality and access of services
Advent of technology has enabled realization of reduced mortality and thus increased life expectancy. Improved technology enhances quality services and these services have been individualized to suit every patient. In addition, previously untreatable conditions such as end-stage renal diseases are now treatable mainly due to improvement in capabilities and quality of services (Futurescan, 2011).
The negative impact of technology in healthcare
Internet has provided room for large medical knowledge which creates a platform for self-diagnosis among patients. This poses great and serious damage to a patient’s health and the general wellbeing and in the long run it may lead to increased cost of treatment.
Discussion
Factors that lead to the current trends in healthcare system
There is an increasing demand by the consumers for better health care services. This is the prime factor that results in the increased innovation.

For this assignment, select
one
of the following options:
Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
(Links to an external site.)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis:
Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between the invading country and the native people? You can select from these examples or choose your own:
- Belgium & Africa
- Britain & India
- Germany & Africa

The student reflects on strengthening their cultural competence and how the course helped them meet competencies.
The medical interview is the physician's most important diagnostic and therapeutic tool, but is difficult to master. It provides valuable patient information, yet receives little training focus. Effective communication skills like rapport building and active listening are especially important for EMTs and other pre-hospital providers to obtain information from patients. Models like partnership, shared decision making, and AIDET promote patient-centered care through open communication. Developing strong patient-doctor relationships requires commitment to caring communication skills.
PLEASE UNPLOAD EACH DISCUSSION SEPARATELYAccording to Deloitte (2019CicelyBourqueju
PLEASE UNPLOAD EACH DISCUSSION SEPARATELYAccording to Deloitte (2019) “Digital technologies are supporting health systems’ efforts to transition to new models of patient-centered care and helping them develop “smart health” approaches to increase access and affordability, improve quality, and lower costs. New technologies are helping with diagnosis and treatment; helping with speed, quality, and accuracy; and improving the patient experience.” (the U.S. and Global Health Care Industry Outlook)While we can likely agree with the statement above, we also know this transformation inevitably comes with many challenges for both healthcare providers and consumers. Resistance to change is one of the biggest challenges. With emerging technologies, customer experience and exposure to information technology are increasing. The explosion of patient portals, portable technology, self-monitoring wearable devices, etc.… has created a more aware, assertive, and educated patient. How you feel about these changes will greatly impact the success you have with it. Challenges are many, and reflection upon your feelings is vital.Assess the challenges of technological advances in Healthcare.Include the following aspects in the discussion:1) Using your text and other course resources investigate ways to make the digital transformation process as smooth as possible2) Provide an approach from a patient education perspective3) Discuss your personal point of view regarding the health care technology revolution

Any change in process is difficult, especially when dealing with a large team or a complex system such as healthcare. When transition into a more advanced digital technology it becomes even more difficult when dealing with the variety of backgrounds and ages the team ranges. Sullivan places it in 5 easier steps to help the transition into a more digital area easier. Those steps include starting with a baseline, conducting a needs assessment, building out the technology and process roadmap, executing and delivering, and ensuring ongoing holistic services and support (Sullivan, 2019). Starting with a baseline is assessing the current system in place and conducting a needs assessment is identifying areas of improvement. Building out the technology and process roadmap is correctly identifying to proper system that best resolves those needs and creating a plan. Executing and delivering is executing the plan that was set with a full team exciting and engaged in the process change. Lastly, ensuring ongoing holistic services and support is continuing to support the staff even after the process and plan is completed to allow for proper support for new team members or other problems that may arise. The best approach I find for patient education perspective is information communication model. This mo ...

December 1st , 2019
P: Adults on an Acute Care floor
I: Required education on the Braden Scale
C: Standard Practice
O: Decrease in Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcers
PICOT QUESTION: Does the required education on the Braden scale increase nursing interventions for Adult patients on an acute care floor at risk of developing pressure ulcers during hospitalization?
Currently, most hospitals are faced with a clinical problem of acquired pressure ulcers. According to Pittman et al (2015), hospital-acquired pressure ulcers remain one of the persistent and relevant issues that need to be addressed in long-term hospital stay patients. Health care is attempting to implement evidence-based protocols, though patients continue to suffer from this prevalent and preventable injury. Health care institutions are facing a big challenge for the patients with this acquired condition because hospital bills continue to balloon and at the same time insurance companies stopped paying for this condition. Research shows that pressure ulcer is preventable; though, in spite of hospitals striving to integrate evidence-based approaches to curb the issue, it continues to remain a serious issue for long-term hospital stay patients. This PICOT statement this research paper is proposing to use is a Braden Scale which can be used by nurses in their practice to reduce hospital-acquired pressure injuries which will reduce the patient stay in the hospital as well as the bills burden in the hospital.
Evidence-Based
Solution
According to Engels et al (2016), “the importance of using evidence-based practice in long-term care hospitals to reduce prevalent pressure ulcers is to promote a safe cost-effective outcome for our patients, families, and the healthcare group. Research needs to be conducted and qualitative data collected when designing an evidence-based solution to hospital-acquired injuries”. Despite a lot of research being conducted from the past years concerning acquired pressure ulcers, many patients continue to get the disease. Evidence-based practice allows the nurse to get pooled in a team of experts where interdisciplinary collaboration becomes the ultimate objective for nurses to practice autonomy that enhances change in the nursing field based on data. “The nursing research utilizes qualitative and quantitative logical methods and an EBP approach aimed at around the study and change of patient consideration, understanding consideration frameworks, and patient results” (Mervis & Phillips, 2019). This PICOT question will effectively apply the Braden Scale to see how it can positively impact long-term hospital in reducing pressure ulcers injuries.

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.

Discussion Topic:
In Chapter 3 of your textbook, various methodological techniques for studying the social world are discussed. A key aspect of sociological research is utilizing the power of observation. Applying what you have learned about sociological research: First, discuss the role of observational research as a key methodology for studying society. Second, utilizing nonparticipant observation, participant observation, ethnography or netnography observe and record a detailed account of a social context or virtual social context that you are no stranger to (think local coffee shop, shopping mall, church or night club, a blog, twitter feed, or Instagram) from a sociological perspective. Be careful to be objective and ethically neutral. Do not include judgments or opinions of behaviors but rather, as best as possible, systematic observations. Third, discuss how a common-sense view of that social setting may look different from a sociological one. Does looking through the lens of sociological research methodology transform how that social space may be viewed. Substantiate your views. Fourth and finally, post a response to another classmate's posting discussing your thoughts in a respectful and thoughtful manner. What stood out to you about their observations and the behaviors occurring?

Abstract
Background: Providing health services to an ageing population is challenging, and in rural areas even more so. It is
expensive to provide high quality services to small populations who are widely dispersed; staff and patients are
often required to travel considerable distances to access services, and the economic downturn has created a
climate where delivery costs are under constant review. There is potential for technology to overcome some of
these problems by decreasing or ceasing the need for patients and health professionals to travel to attend/de.

Patient safety issues in healthcare can arise from errors such as misdiagnosis, poor communication between providers, and an overburdened healthcare system. The most common causes of safety lapses are preventable adverse events stemming from diagnostic errors, failures to consider patient context, and miscommunication. Implementing electronic health records and improving communication standards and leadership can help create a culture of safety to reduce errors and protect patients.

HCA 459: Senior Project
Introduction
Health care sector is experiencing many transformations in service delivery and in patient handling. There are immense trends all around the world including technology that not only change the delivery of health care but also the way the system is conceived (Tan, 2011). In the hospital setting, technology is the pillar for efficiency, accurate record keeping, increased accessibility to healthcare and transition of healthcare to homes. The effects of technology in the County Hospital administrators include efficient support systems which enhance quality services through use of electronic medical records and other information transmission systems. Technological advances enhances understand diseases and discoveries and development of new therapies through genome decoding.
Scope of the senior Project
The impact of technology in regards to employee performance, organization structure and management planning.
Evidence-based medicine through technology will enable healthcare providers to establish standard protocols to be used in treatment of many diseases.
Effects of healthcare trend on treatment cost
In the world today, payers have a huge role in making decision on the type of treatment that a patient receives following the rising cost of medical services. Therefore, it is evident that technology has empowered patients in the choice of treatment option that they receive.
Moreover, technology enhances data management and ultimate coordination among healthcare providers (Ho, 2012). Patient files are easily accessible from anywhere following the extensive use of databases which have also cut down the cost of care services in the hospital. Healthcare providers can use invasive procedures with the increased technological advances. Imaging has reduced the task of examination by technicians and physicians on human anatomy.
Effects of health care trend on quality and access of services
Advent of technology has enabled realization of reduced mortality and thus increased life expectancy. Improved technology enhances quality services and these services have been individualized to suit every patient. In addition, previously untreatable conditions such as end-stage renal diseases are now treatable mainly due to improvement in capabilities and quality of services (Futurescan, 2011).
The negative impact of technology in healthcare
Internet has provided room for large medical knowledge which creates a platform for self-diagnosis among patients. This poses great and serious damage to a patient’s health and the general wellbeing and in the long run it may lead to increased cost of treatment.
Discussion
Factors that lead to the current trends in healthcare system
There is an increasing demand by the consumers for better health care services. This is the prime factor that results in the increased innovation.

Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:

InstructionsFinancial challenges associated with changes.docxmaoanderton
Instructions
Financial challenges associated with changes to how healthcare organizations are reimbursed for healthcare services, the cost of implementing new technology and professionals to comply with federal requirements for electronic health records, and the increasing numbers of individuals who cannot pay for their healthcare represent only one issue for healthcare executives in the healthcare delivery system. But it has significant consequences for the viability and solvency of healthcare organizations. Healthcare executives don’t have a crystal ball; however, they do engage in forecasting the future based on what is currently known and examination of trends (Lee, 2015). To do this type of forecasting, healthcare executives are demonstrating techniques found in anticipatory management. According to their seminal research, Ashley and Morrison (1997) reported there are severe consequences for not anticipating future trends in a rapidly changing and complex society. The anticipatory management process they describe begins with scanning the environment to identify issues; creating issues briefs to inform stakeholders; prioritizing issues; assembling the team of experts; creating, implementing, and evaluating action plans and outcomes; and adjusting the course when necessary.
Last week, you compared healthcare delivery and costs in the United States with those in developed countries. This week, you will focus U.S. healthcare executives and how they prioritize the challenges confronting them to minimize the impact to their organizations.
As you prepare your assignment, consider these questions:
What challenges you have experienced in the healthcare workplace or when you have accessed your own healthcare provider?
Have you observed changes to how your personal health information is gathered and documented?
What technology is now being used which may be new to your workplace?
Were you required to take additional training in your current healthcare position due to the implementation of new technology?
Have you experienced a shortage of healthcare personnel in your workplace or at your healthcare provider’s office?
What effect have these situations had on you as the employee and patient?
After your examination of current literature on the trends, issues, and challenges for healthcare executives and their organization's review Ashley and Morrison’s seminal article (1997) on anticipatory management and utilize the sample chart shown for this assignment.

The essay must include a thesis statement/introduction, supporting body, and conclusion. The conclusion should provide a synthesis of the statements and thesis into a final idea about what the audience should remember and take away from the assignment.
List the objects and subjects included in the painting
Provide an iconographic definition (ala dictionary or glossary for each item)
Identify the narrative source for each item (artist invention, poem, narrative, biblical, greco-roman, other presence, real life historical or cultural artifact as symbol, other artworks and ideas as symbols, etc.) (
ex. Alexander the Great as a symbol; American Flag as a symbol; Greek mythology as symbols; The hammer and sickle in Russia, the american eagle, a soldier, etc.)
Is there more than one context for the iconographic or symbolic representation of the idea? How many contexts or roles is each symbolic object fulfilling in presenting, adding, or relaying meaning about the subject; (current age vs. past age; multiple metaphors; multiple layers of ideas etc.)
Symbols and Icons in different contexts - define how the symbols and subjects make one idea serve another idea (A Greek god is rebranded and used in Rome. What does this act mean for Rome to use a Greek Religious concept)
What do the symbols mean in the age, or multiple ages, and how are we supposed to connect to them in the context of the work? - ex. How are greco-roman subject and symbols used and perceived in a Renaissance age? Why would someone in the Renaissance care about Ancient Greco-Roman gods and subjects, what’s in it for a Renaissance Italian or Renaissance Italy for that matter?
Analysis through Iconology
This kind of analysis usually is most useful for narrative works and art before the Modern period. Non-objective art or art with arbitrary subjects (such as DADA) don't work as well with this kind of analysis because narratives and conventional symbols are not a part of these works. Here you will look for a particular element that occurs in the object (an object, action, gesture, pose) and explain either:
when that same element occurs in other objects through history and how this object’s representation of it is unique, or
what that element means generally in art or to art historians—in other words, the traditional association an art historian might make between that depiction and some other thing.
The following video provides an example of Iconological analysis. The video speaks to the meaning of the gestures, iconography, meaning of certain types of depiction, and other narrative imagery and symbolism related to those narrative elements. https://youtu.be/rKhfFBbVtFg

InstructionsCommunities do not exist in a bubble. Often changes .docxmaoanderton
Instructions
Communities do not exist in a bubble. Often changes made in the larger society, driven by technology, have an unexpected effect on local communities. Consider the effects of the advancements in transportation technologies on communities. Routes of transportation have evolved from water to train to the road and then to air. Each of these advancements led to job displacement and changes in travel routes. In the United States, prior to the mid-1800s, the communities that thrived had water access and ports where the exchange of goods and services occurred. With the building of the transcontinental railway and the growth of transportation by rail, the communities that thrived had train depots. With the building of major highways in the 1900s, access to those roads became critical to survival. With each advancement, local communities were impacted, such that many communities that grew around train depots became ghost towns full of poverty, homelessness, and despair once train travel was no longer the primary means of human transportation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Tele Healthcare
Approximately over 50 years of telehealth development has seen
tackling of numerous medical conditions through the utilization
of different types of technologies. Tele healthcare has been
associated with a wide variety of outcomes in the healthcare.
Despite the fact that it as shown great promise in the modern
times, it has also triggered a number of challenges for
interpretation and technical issues that are linked to the lack of
technological expertise among the healthcare practitioners. For
instance, then challenges that exist in defining such terms as
telehealth is a reflection of the broader difficulties when it
comes to the interpretation of the complex interplay that exists
between clinical output, patient involvement, service designs
and technology. Despite these significant challenges whose
impacts in the healthcare delivery is great, the significance of
telehealth practices cannot be overlooked in terms of the patient
outcomes and efficiency of healthcare delivery. Tele healthcare
has enhanced information sharing between patients and doctors
even those who are located in the remote areas. It has made it
possible to monitor the progress of patients within and outside
the facilities devoid of the need to have physical meetings. The
benefits of tele healthcare outweigh its pitfalls hence it is
important that is integrated into medical practices to optimize
patient outcomes.
4. Tele healthcare is depicted as personalized healthcare that is
delivered over a long distance such that data is transferred from
the patients to the professionals and back. It has played a key
role in enhancing feedback from the patients to the
professionals for the interest of evidence-based decision making
and treatment. For instance, the significance of telehealth can
be evident among the inpatients with severe long-term
conditions such as diabetes and long-term asthma. It has played
a key role in reducing hospital admissions without increasing
mortality.
Advantages of Tele Healthcare
There are numerous advantages of tele healthcare. To start with
is that it is powered by technology. Technological advancement
in the modern times has made it easy for various organizational
operations. Technological advancement has been adopted across
all spheres of life and healthcare is not an exemption. Creating
a balance between healthcare practices and technology is a key
requirement when it comes to the medical operations and
practices (Dorsey & Topol, 2016). The case of the importance
of tele healthcare can be witnessed in electronic health records
whereby a medical professional admits the patient and their data
is keyed in the system. This data is required in the entire
decision making process that concern the various approaches to
treatment.
In the nursing practice, the concept of evidence-based practice
has gained course with the increasing need to implement and
adopt it in the healthcare. As such, telehealth has played a key
role in eradicating the physical barriers that used to undermine
the treatment process. Specifically, the patients who do not need
to be admitted or readmitted to the nursing homes have a chance
to receive medical services while still at their homes (Lee &
Billings, 2016). They are monitored through the tele healthcare
5. approaches that facilitate the transmission of data from the
patients to the professionals and back. Long-term conditions
such as diabetes and asthma are claiming many lives in the
United States today.
According to Gulla (2018), approximately more than 100
million people are living with diabetes in the United States. The
Centers of Disease Control and Prevention has reported that
around 9.4% are living with acute diabetes in the United States
(Gulla, 2018). The basic question that comes herein is how tele
healthcare has played a major role in the delivery of health
services from the medical professionals to the patients
especially those in remote areas who have remained
underserved. The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention
have cited cost as one of the biggest challenges that have
undermined the remediation of the long-term conditions in the
country. The cost of treatment has been reduced significantly
with reduced physical meetings between the nurses and patients.
The patient have a chance to acquire medical assessment and
advice while at their homes without necessarily having to hold
physical meetings with the practitioners.
It is important to underscore the fact that tele healthcare is a
win-win situation for both the patients and medical
practitioners. This is because the pressure that has been piling
in nursing homes has reduced. According to Kaambwa et.al.
(2017), the key cause of medical errors in the nursing facilities
is high doctor-patient ratio. The focus on one patient has been
overlooked due to the huge populations of patients who visit
healthcare facilities every day. Tele healthcare has helped by
and large to remedy this challenge that has remained to be a
thorn not only in the nursing practice and in the entire
healthcare fraternity.
Timely information access is another advantage associated with
tele healthcare. It has helped the healthcare professionals to
have access to information at any given time and place provided
6. there is network coverage and the access is authorized. One of
the ways in which telehealth has helped to achieve this is the
integration of patient data. Hospitals have come together and
integrated their data for the interest of enhancing patient
outcomes. Medical professionals have, for instance, joined
associations that have reiterated the significance of having an
integrated system to enhance information access between the
patients and medical professionals. The patient with long-term
conditions could have special gadgets that they can use to make
important communications with the medical professionals in
which they are able to receive medical advice. This is one of the
practices that have played a major role in reducing mortality
rates and deaths associated with time lapses especially as a
result of delays between the occurrence of an emergency and
response time (Polinski et.al., 2016).
In tele healthcare, by a click of a button, one can be able to
access the history of the patients from the time of admission to
the subsequent treatments that they have been subjected to for
the interest of understanding the best medical approaches to
subject them to. The history of the patient includes data of the
previous treatments in other facilities for the same or different
diseases. This has been key in the decision making process in
the healthcare arena.
According to Hellen (2017), the primary interest of the
healthcare practices is to enhance patient outcomes and help the
patient to regain their health both in the short-term and long-
term. Take for instance the case of the Affordable Care Act. It
was enacted with the interest to enhance patient outcomes
through the provision of universal healthcare insurance,
efficiency in the standard procedures and practices of treatment
and more importantly reduction of costs. Tele health is among
major approaches that have bene established to increase
efficiency of healthcare delivery. In other words, when it comes
to the debate on the best practices in healthcare, the aspect of
7. time cannot be overlooked. In other words, the patient outcomes
of the treatment process also depend on the response time.
Some conditions such as diabetes trigger other related
conditions such as high blood pressure and inconsistent glucose
levels in the body. These are issues that if not resolved within
the shortest time possible could see patients even lose their
lives.
As mentioned above, the use of radiofrequency transmissions
and other related technologies has enabled the medical
professionals to understand the condition of the patients at any
given time. With this understanding, the treatment process has
been simplified real time because of the close coordination
between the patients and nurses. It should be noted that
information forms the primary basis of the treatment process. A
lack of information is an indication that the decision making
process will definitely be delayed which means that the
condition of the patient could worsen off by the time they are
attended to. The ability to fast-track the progress of the patient
has become key in resolving some of the key issues that affect
the patients with long-term conditions that have been claiming
many lives in the United States today.
Telemedicine has relieved the nursing homes of the burden to
provide round-the-clock care for the patients suffering from
complex medical conditions. As mentioned earlier, tele
healthcare has made it possible to gather data from the patients
which is further used in the decision making process. The
pressure that used to be witnessed in then healthcare facilities
has been eased significantly with the increasing need to enhance
outcomes and make the treatment process as efficient as
possible (Wade et.al, 2016).
Controversies Surrounding Tele Healthcare
In as much as tele healthcare has eased the treatment process
8. significantly, the has come another burden to the patient and the
nursing homes to get the necessary equipment to facilitate the
treatment process. It follows that according to Collins et.al,
(2017), the healthcare industry whether private or state
healthcare organizations are grappling with the challenge of
underfunding and budget deficits. It is important to underscore
the fact that the treatment process by use of telemedicine is also
increasingly technical. This is because of the technology that
comes in between the coordination of technology and delivery
of healthcare. Acquisition of the necessary equipment has
become a key challenge in the nursing practice.
The issue of network is also a challenge. This is especially for
the patients who reside in remote areas which are network
deprived. Then coordination of the technological gadgets that
are used in tele healthcare cannot work properly without proper
technological connections. Whenever there are mishaps in
information flows, the consequences of such a situation could
be dire. It follows that medical practitioners may be unable to
fast-track the condition of the patients in the short-term,
something that could lead to delayed care.
The culture of technical meetings with the patients has made it
difficult to adopt tele health in the nursing practice. For
instance, there are patients who are used to face to face
meetings with the medical professionals. There are others who
are not educated hence efficiency of treatment cannot be
overlooked in this equation of healthcare practice. The use of
technology for these parties could sound challenging especially
when it comes to interpreting the various indications of the
gadgets. This is a key challenge that has significantly
undermined the treatment process.
Possible Challenges when Using Tele Healthcare
Network and level of education are key challenges when using
9. tele-healthcare. Network is required in the transmission of
information from the patients to the medical professionals and
back. The challenge of network is especially witnessed in the
remote areas. The level of education has impact on how
efficient the technology gadgets are in helping the patients to
transmit data and any inquiries to their respective facilities.
Other issues include the level of training, cultural
competencies, resource availability among others.
Technology Contributions to Healthcare
The contributions of technology to the healthcare are both
positive and negative. The positive significance of technology
include reduced costs, enhanced information sharing, efficiency,
accuracy, speedy treatments, emergency responses, reduction in
workloads among the medical professionals among others.
Misdiagnosis is a primary challenge undermining the healthcare
practices. Any case of misdiagnosis is inherited in the entire
treatment process. Other challenges include lack of standard
practices in then healthcare to facilitate tele health services.
In conclusion, tele healthcare has extended its beneficial aspects
to different sets of capacities including patients, providers,
communities and government. Patients are no longer required to
travel to distant specialists to acquire medical attention. This is
being done conveniently in their homes. Circuit riding
specialists using tele healthcare approaches are saving
substantial amounts of time. Some of the challenges associated
with it include technical problems, safety concerns such as
confidentiality and data losses and interface problems. The
benefits, however, outweigh the challenges by a large margin.

HIV ROUGH PAPER
Criminalizing HIV non-disclosure laws were first established in
the 1990s before a clear understanding of HIV and HIV
11. transmission. In the beginning of the HIV crisis, HIV was being
transmitted at high rates. Lawmakers believed that by making
criminalizing laws that it would increase HIV non-disclosure
rates. However, because the laws targeted people with HIV fear
was created by people with HIV of being prosecuted. Instead of
people disclosing their HIV status, they failed to get tested and
didn’t disclose their status to anyone. Over the past thirty years,
the criminalizing HIV has not shown to have no impact on HIV
transmission. Medication available today has been studied and
shown to decrease transmission rates and even stop new
transmission of HIV to people who are HIV negative.
In the past thirty years, the HIV epidemic has impacted
individuals on a global level. In the beginning of the HIV crisis,
many people were being infected with the deadly disease. In
1981 the first person was diagnosed with HIV (CDC, 2018).
Within two decades, the disease had spread to thousands of
people. Thousands of men, women and children were being
infected and diagnosed with HIV. Because the disease was
spreading at an alarming rate, the government decide to
implement a law regarding HIV transmission. In 1990, the first
criminalizing HIV non-disclosure law was established.
According the Center for Disease Control, “these laws impose
criminal penalties on people living with HIV who know their
HIV status and who potentially expose others to HIV” (CDC,
n.d.). The laws may have been intended to stop the transmission
of HIV, however that purpose was not achieved. The
criminalizing HIV law installed fear and contentment for people
with HIV. Instead of helping and educating people with HIV,
the law made people infected with HIV hide in fear of being
prosecuted for having the disease. In men clinic, a questionnaire
conducted by Kesler, Kaul, Loutfy, Myers, & Brunetta
involving HIV testing. Of those questioned, 73% of the
participants stated that they were scared of being put in jail for
not disclosing their HIV status (Kesler, 2018). In another
research involving women with HIV, the authors states “women
may delay disclosure to sexual partners due to fear of stigma”
12. (Patterson, Milloy, Ogilvie, Greene, Nicholson, Vonn, Hogg,
Kaida). The fear of repercussions of jail time must be removed
from the HIV communities to aide in disclose. Communities are
put at risk when people with HIV fail to disclose their HIV
status. The current HIV criminalizing laws are based on
outdated information. HIV non-disclosure laws doesn’t
incorporate prevention measures, new medication available or
the use of condoms (Lehman, Carr, Nichol, Ruisanchez, Knight,
Langford, Gray, & Mermin, 2014). To reduce fear in the HIV
community, to increase HIV testing and decrease HIV
transmission the criminalizing HIV law should be eliminated as
law prosecuting HIV individuals.
“For the past three decades, legislative approaches to
prevent HIV transmission have been used at the national, state,
and local levels” (Lehman, 2014). In the United States, 32 states
have criminalizing HIV non-disclosure laws. The current laws
are formatted from information and statists from the 1990.
According to Stackpool-Moore a person that knows their HIV
status and engages in irresponsible or careless behavior can be
subjected to criminal misconduct and placed in jail (Stackpool-
Moore, 2013). Under the criminalizing HIV laws, an individual
with HIV can be imprisoned for risky behavior such as spitting
on a person. Even though saliva has been ruled out as a risk for
transmitted HIV, HIV-positive people can face jail time for
spitting. A person with HIV can be prosecuted for a
misdemeanor or felony depending on the states the act occurred
in. For example, in North Carolina and Maryland a person that
fails to disclose their HIV status can be charged with
misdemeanor (Lehman, 2014). In other states the person can
face up to ten years in prison for not disclosing HIV status.
States are using outdated information related to HIV. In Canada,
if a positive HIV individual is convicted under their
criminalization law, they can face up to life in jail and listed on
the National Sex Offender Registry (Patterson, 2015).
Consequently, people with HIV are being targeted by these
13. outdated laws. “Arguing against the criminalizing HIV law,
some health commentators believe the laws undermine U.S.
public health efforts to prevent further infections” (Hanrsono,
Galletly, O’Keefe, & Lazzarini, 2017).
Fear of incarceration continues to deter individuals with HIV
from essential testing. In order for an individual to receive
medication for HIV, they must be tested first. Many individuals
know the law exist and fail to get tested because of it.
According to Kesler, because individuals are afraid of the
criminalizing HIV law they are refusing to get tested and
putting thousands of people at risk for HIV transmission. So, if
fear is what is stopping individuals from testing shouldn’t the
fear be removed. The criminalizing HIV laws has placed fear in
the communities instead of promoting health as once believed.
In an article written by Grace the author states, “ there is no
scientific evidence to suggest that a positive correlation exists
between the law prevalence of HIV in a country and the use of
the criminal law” (Grace, 2015). Eliminating the criminalizing
HIV non- disclosure law, could increase HIV testing. Testing is
an important aspect to decreasing HIV transmission. Knowing
their HIV status could decrease transmission rates.
Communities HIV transmission rate decline with each test
performed on at risk individuals. The criminalizing HIV laws
were established without considering medication that could
reduce transmission of HIV and even prevent the transmission
of HIV.
Currently there are several antiviral medications available to the
community to reduce HIV. Treatment of antiretroviral
medication has shown to slow down the probability of
contracting HIV. According to the CDC, antiretroviral HIV
regimen helps individual with HIV live longer and healthier
lives. In addition, individuals are now being offered medication
that can stop the transmission of HIV. Pre- exposure
prophylaxis (known as PreP) is a medication that is given to
people that do not have HIV but at risk for contacting the
14. disease. The CDC further states the medication PreP works by
keeping the virus from becoming a permanent infection. If
people are risk for HIV or that have HIV begin treatment
regimens to stop the disease, why does the law still criminalize
them? Criminalizing HIV does not promote intake of medication
or preventive medication. Promoting healthy habits by
individuals with is why the law was started however, that is not
the circumstances at the present.
In conclusion, laws that criminalize individuals because of their
HIV status is not supporting positive health in the society. As
stated by Lazzarini, Galletly, Mykhalovaskiy, Harsono,
O’Keefe, Singer, & Levine, “ concerns remains that these laws
are often used to punish behavior that poses little or no risk of
transmission and may have negative impacts on public health
practices and efforts to reduce HIV infections” (Lazzarini,
2013). Studies have shown over the past thirty years that
preventive measures and the right medication can prevent the
spread of HIV. If HIV transmission rates can be decreased with
medication and HIV transmission can even be stopped does
society really need laws criminalizing HIV individuals? With
new and current technology and medication being study, HIV
can be eradicated. The criminalizing HIV law may have worked
in the beginning however, now they are outdated and only
elicits fear in the HIV communities.
