The document discusses the dual nature of informatics, which refers to how informatics can improve health outcomes for individual patients through tools like EHRs and CDS at the point of care, and also for groups of patients through data warehousing and mining of patient information in EHRs. It provides a scenario about a patient, Mrs. Jones, presenting with dizzy spells and nausea, and prompts the reader to consider what information should be collected from Mrs. Jones and how it could help her care and be aggregated to help other similar patients.
Information Architecture How do you use health information tec.docxJeniceStuckeyoo
Information Architecture
How do you use health information technology in your daily work activities? Does the CNO (Chief Nursing Officer) in your organization use the same Health Information Technology (HIT) as the nurses at the bedside? What about those individuals who work in admissions? In order to develop an information system that can facilitate the ability to track, share, and analyze patient data, an organization has to take into account the differing needs or views of various departments.
In this Discussion, you consider the differing viewpoints of the professionals within your organization. Imagine what your colleagues’ needs might be and how they might use a HIT system to access and share information to promote evidence-based care. What are the similarities and differences in how this technology would be used by physicians, lab techs, administrators, nurses, informaticians, and others?
To prepare:
Review this week’s media presentation, focusing on how the VA’s VistA system demonstrates data flow across an organization.
Reflect on your organization’s information architecture and the various information needs of different groups within your work setting. What constraints has your organization faced with implementing health information technology systems that meet everyone’s needs? Consider speaking with your colleagues from different areas about this topic.
Ask yourself: How does the flow of data across my organization support, or inhibit, evidence-based practice?
By Tomorrow 09/06/17, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with a minimum of 3 references from the list below which include the level one headings as numbered below:

Integrating PHRs into EHR Platforms
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.

Health informatics is a term that describes the acquisition, storage, retrieval, and use of healthcare information to foster better collaboration among a patient's various healthcare providers. Health informatics plays a critical role in the push toward healthcare reform. Healthcare Informatics is defined as "the integration of healthcare sciences, computer science, information science, and cognitive science to assist in managing healthcare information" (Saba & McCormick, 2015, p. 232).
Scenario
My scenario will be on reducing the rate of Hospital Readmissions in the unit I work. After reading through this week's resources, I realized a gap that needs bridging in my work unit. Norris, Hinrichs, & Brown tell us, "gaps are present between the technology and the process. Informatics can help bridge that gap. Skills needed include the understanding of data collection, storage, and extraction, in addition to an appreciation for the power of data to drive and inform practice" (2015, p. 11-12). The rate of patient readmission in my unit is overwhelming. Working in a mental health crisis and assessment can be very challenging, and it hurts to see a patient discharged after four to seven days came back the same day or the next day after discharge seeking the same help. The federal government has estimated the annual cost of Medicare readmissions to be $26 billion per year, with $17 billion considered avoidable. ("Reducing hospital readmissions: The value of analytics," 2019). The organization seems to have failed in tracking these numbers and try to figure out ways to reduce this problem.
As a nurse, I will use health informatics in the form of a spreadsheet to acquire, store, retrieve and analyze the data of those patients who have multiple admissions within three months. Doing so will help communicate and collaborate better with clinical improvement teams, doctors, and the administration to focus on specific clinical measures needed to manage baseline mental health processes and outcomes of these patients to reduce readmission. Nursing informatics blends information and knowledge, enhancing communication among health care workers, improving efficiency, and providing overall good patient outcomes (Laureate Video File. 2018).
To sum up, health informatics and Nursing Informatics are very relevant in evolving health systems. Having a nurse informaticist guiding data-driven processes, educating nurses, and validating data quality, will advance health systems beyond the data platform to reach the nursing workforce to inform decisions at the healthcare delivery frontlines in the organizations we work. According to Sweeney (2017), nursing in ...

Limited Access to Healthcare
Arnaldo Perez-Frometa
Capella University
Developing a Health Care Perspective
Access to healthcare services is very essential for sustainable level of living and good health. Several scholars have described access as “the timely use of personal health services to achieve the best possible health outcomes”. One of the issues facing many countries across the world including those with systems for universal healthcare is providing appropriate and timely healthcare access for deprived patients. Currently there is limited information on how those patients living in a context of social and material deprivation perceive obstructions in the system of healthcare. In this paper we shall discuss several resources addressing the issue of access to services in the healthcare system.
According to Andersen, Davidson, & Baumeister (2014), in their article titled “improving the access to care”, access refers to the actual utility of individual services for heath as well as everything else that can facilitate or impede their use. In this article they present research and policy issues as well as basic trends which are related to evaluating and monitoring the access to healthcare services. They show how evaluating and monitoring offers the platform for the prediction of health services, promotion of social justice and the improvement of efficiency and effectiveness for the delivery of health services. They analyzed access and healthcare outcomes using a behavioral model which provides a systematic framework of individual and contextual framework
They expanded the behavioral model by emphasizing on two new aspects. They include the life quality as an input and healthcare outcome and genetics as a factor for predisposing. They also examined some examples of access indicators which include efficiency and effectiveness measures, utilization, potential access and healthcare needs. Changes that occurred in these indicators over time were tracked using trend data. Finally they did observations on access and the present status as well as new areas of improving access via ACA which has played a big role in improving access to health care.
Next we are going to analyze the article written by Acharya et al., (2017) titled “Partnerships in mental healthcare service delivery in low-resource settings: developing an innovative network in rural Nepal”. This article provides an understanding on the contribution of mental illness on the worldwide burden diseases which are non communicable. However, the authors note that there has been an extremely limited access to ethnically sensitive, appropriately contextual and high quality service for mental healthcare. Despite the availability for interventions to improve outcomes for the patients, this situation still persists. The authors suggest that there is need for the development of partnerships network for adaptation.

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

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

Informatics Functional Areas
Informatics is one of the most diverse disciplines in health care. Many nurses have been able to capitalize on their informatics knowledge and interests to carve out new roles within their own health care setting. As you embark on your own informatics career path, it is important to be aware of the vast possibilities that await you. One of the best sources to begin your investigation is the American Nurses Association (ANA). The ANA recognizes that nursing informatics titles have little standardization across health care settings. As such, they have categorized the roles of informaticist into nine functional categories:
Administration, Leadership, and Management
Systems Analysis and Design
Compliance and Integrity Management
Consultation
Coordination, Facilitation, and Integration
Development of Systems, Products, and Resources
Education and Professional Development
Genetics and Genomics
Information Management and Operational Architecture
Policy Development and Advocacy
Quality and Performance Improvement
Research and Evaluation
Safety, Security and Environmental Health. (ANA, 2015, pp. 18-34)
In this Assignment, you first consider the various functional areas as outlined by the ANA. You then examine your personal attributes and interests as you consider your future as a nurse informaticist.
To prepare:
Review the nine functional areas for nurse informaticists as identified by the ANA.
Select the functional area in which you are most interested. Then, conduct additional research to identify the general responsibilities and duties associated with nurses working within this area.
Consider your current professional role. How might your personal attributes and interests help you to be successful in your selected functional area? What skills might you wish to develop to better position yourself for success?
To complete:
Submit a 4- to 5-page paper on Saturday 06/11/2016 by 12pm noon
in APA format
with 6 references that addresses the following:
Identify the nursing informatics functional area in which you are most interested.
Summarize the general responsibilities and duties of nurses who work within this functional area.
Explain how your personal attributes, interests, knowledge, and nursing background will help you thrive within this area.
Propose three overarching skills you could develop to become more effective in this functional area. Justify the importance of each skill by providing applicable examples. Cite your resources as appropriate.

The Application of Data to Problem-Solving
In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.
Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.
In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.
To Prepare:
Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.
Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.
By Day 3 of Week 1
Post
a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?

Electronic Health Records
Electronic health records (EHRs) are at the center stage of the effort to improve health care quality and control costs. In addition to allowing medical practitioners to access and record clinical documentation at much faster rates, EHRs are also positively influencing care delivery and nurse-patient interaction. Yet despite the potential benefits of EHRs, their implementation can be a formidable task that has broad-reaching implications for an entire health care organization.
In this Discussion, you appraise strategies for obtaining the benefits and overcoming the challenges of implementing and using electronic health records.
To prepare
Review the implementation of EHRs in an organization. Reflect on the various approaches used.
If applicable, consider your own experiences with implementing EHRs. What were some positive aspects of the implementation? What suggestions would you make to improve the process?
Reflect on the reactions of others during the implementation process. Were concerns handled effectively?
If you have not had any experiences with an EHR implementation, talk to someone who has and get his or her feedback on the experience.
Search and indicate examples of effective and poor implementation of EHRs.

Standardized Coding SystemsAs a result of the fragmented nature of.docxjonghollingberry
Standardized Coding Systems
As a result of the fragmented nature of the health care system, professionals in various specialty areas of medicine have developed their own unique sets of terminology to communicate within that specialty. In the past, limited attention has been given to codifying practices in order for them to be understood and utilized across disciplines or through different information technology systems. The implementation of a federally mandated electronic medical records system, therefore, poses a challenge to nursing professionals and others who must be prepared to utilize standardized codes for the new system. Why are coding standards important for promoting consistent, high-quality care?
According to Rutherford (2008, para. 15), “Improved communication with other nurses, health care professionals, and administrators of the institution in which nurses work is a key benefit of using a standardized nursing language.” In this Discussion you consider the reasoning behind and the value of standardized codification.
To prepare:
Review the information in
Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice.
Determine which set of terminologies are appropriate for your specialty or area of expertise.
Reflect on the importance of continuity in terminology and coding systems.
In the article, “Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice?” the author recounts a visit to a local hospital to view its implementation of a new coding system. One of the nurses commented to her, “We document our care using standardized nursing languages but we don't fully understand why we do” (Rutherford, 2008, para. 1). Consider how you would inform this nurse (and others like her) of the importance of standardized nursing terminologies.
Reflect on the value of using a standard language in nursing practice. Consider if standardization can be limited to a specialty area or if one standard language is needed across all nursing practice. Then, identify examples of standardization in your own specialty or area of expertise. Conduct additional research using the Walden Library that supports your thoughts on standardization of nursing terminology.
Post on or before Day 3
an explanation of why nurses need to document care using standardized nursing languages and whether this standardization can be limited to specialty areas or if it should be across all nursing practice. Support your response using specific examples from your own specialty or area of expertise and using at least one additional resource from the Walden Library

Key Topics in Health Care Technology Evaluation
The amount of new information and data, and the number of available technologies are growing at an ever-accelerating rate. Did you know that during any given 24 hours, humanity generates enough new information to fill the Library of Congress 70 times (Smolan & Erwitt, 2012)? As a nurse informaticist, it is important to keep current on new developments in the field, but with the rapid pace of change, that effort can be overwhelming. It is easier to keep current with key trends if nurse informaticists focus on selected issues.
In this Discussion, you consider key topics in the field of health care technology. You then consider the different approaches you could take when designing an evaluation in these areas. For example, if you are interested in usability, your goal could be to determine if a system is user friendly from the viewpoint of a nurse. A different goal might be to determine if the location of the system facilitates ease of use from the viewpoint of physicians.
Note:
This Discussion serves as practice for the first part of your Evaluation Project. What you derive from your Discussion with colleagues will likely inform the work that you do in Part 1 of the Evaluation Project.
The Discussion focuses on the following major topics in the health care information field:

1. W
rite a paragraph about what you learned from Davis' article regarding the Catholic Church and racial justice in the 20th century
. Note that this article does not try to clear up some of the ambiguities surrounding race and Christianity... Davis is happy to simply provide you with some stories and offer his thoughts on their significance. So, your paragraph here should indicate that you recognize that things are rather complicated here! One strand you might want to keep an eye on is the relationship between theory and practice... in other words, how did theoretical teachings about race actually work out in real life?
The second selection is an article by Brian Bantum, a Christian pastor and scholar. He argues here that Christians cannot be "post-racial" given our current state of affairs.
2. Being "post-racial" initially might sound like it could be a good thing... What does Bantum mean by the term "post-racial" and what are some of his reasons for saying that Christians cannot be "post-racial" (if you're stuck, think about his claims that "race matters" in various ways)?
3. On page 7, Bantum talks about 2 "beasts". Explain the difference between the "beast" of the 1960's and the "beast" of today.
4. Briefly discuss 2 examples from the text that show the difference that Bantum's Christian faith makes for how he understands the topic of race. (hint: he continually talks about discipleship, a word that you all should be familiar with by now...)

Informatics Functional Areas
Informatics is one of the most diverse disciplines in health care. Many nurses have been able to capitalize on their informatics knowledge and interests to carve out new roles within their own health care setting. As you embark on your own informatics career path, it is important to be aware of the vast possibilities that await you. One of the best sources to begin your investigation is the American Nurses Association (ANA). The ANA recognizes that nursing informatics titles have little standardization across health care settings. As such, they have categorized the roles of informaticist into nine functional categories:
Administration, Leadership, and Management
Systems Analysis and Design
Compliance and Integrity Management
Consultation
Coordination, Facilitation, and Integration
Development of Systems, Products, and Resources
Education and Professional Development
Genetics and Genomics
Information Management and Operational Architecture
Policy Development and Advocacy
Quality and Performance Improvement
Research and Evaluation
Safety, Security and Environmental Health. (ANA, 2015, pp. 18-34)
In this Assignment, you first consider the various functional areas as outlined by the ANA. You then examine your personal attributes and interests as you consider your future as a nurse informaticist.
To prepare:
Review the nine functional areas for nurse informaticists as identified by the ANA.
Select the functional area in which you are most interested. Then, conduct additional research to identify the general responsibilities and duties associated with nurses working within this area.
Consider your current professional role. How might your personal attributes and interests help you to be successful in your selected functional area? What skills might you wish to develop to better position yourself for success?
To complete:
Submit a 4- to 5-page paper on Saturday 06/11/2016 by 12pm noon
in APA format
with 6 references that addresses the following:
Identify the nursing informatics functional area in which you are most interested.
Summarize the general responsibilities and duties of nurses who work within this functional area.
Explain how your personal attributes, interests, knowledge, and nursing background will help you thrive within this area.
Propose three overarching skills you could develop to become more effective in this functional area. Justify the importance of each skill by providing applicable examples. Cite your resources as appropriate.

The Application of Data to Problem-Solving
In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.
Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.
In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.
To Prepare:
Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.
Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.
By Day 3 of Week 1
Post
a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?
By Day 6 of Week 1

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

Electronic Health Records
Electronic health records (EHRs) are at the center stage of the effort to improve health care quality and control costs. In addition to allowing medical practitioners to access and record clinical documentation at much faster rates, EHRs are also positively influencing care delivery and nurse-patient interaction. Yet despite the potential benefits of EHRs, their implementation can be a formidable task that has broad-reaching implications for an entire health care organization.
In this Discussion, you appraise strategies for obtaining the benefits and overcoming the challenges of implementing and using electronic health records.
To prepare
Review the implementation of EHRs in an organization. Reflect on the various approaches used.
If applicable, consider your own experiences with implementing EHRs. What were some positive aspects of the implementation? What suggestions would you make to improve the process?
Reflect on the reactions of others during the implementation process. Were concerns handled effectively?
If you have not had any experiences with an EHR implementation, talk to someone who has and get his or her feedback on the experience.
Search and indicate examples of effective and poor implementation of EHRs.

Standardized Coding SystemsAs a result of the fragmented nature of.docxjonghollingberry
Standardized Coding Systems
As a result of the fragmented nature of the health care system, professionals in various specialty areas of medicine have developed their own unique sets of terminology to communicate within that specialty. In the past, limited attention has been given to codifying practices in order for them to be understood and utilized across disciplines or through different information technology systems. The implementation of a federally mandated electronic medical records system, therefore, poses a challenge to nursing professionals and others who must be prepared to utilize standardized codes for the new system. Why are coding standards important for promoting consistent, high-quality care?
According to Rutherford (2008, para. 15), “Improved communication with other nurses, health care professionals, and administrators of the institution in which nurses work is a key benefit of using a standardized nursing language.” In this Discussion you consider the reasoning behind and the value of standardized codification.
To prepare:
Review the information in
Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice.
Determine which set of terminologies are appropriate for your specialty or area of expertise.
Reflect on the importance of continuity in terminology and coding systems.
In the article, “Standardized Nursing Language: What Does It Mean for Nursing Practice?” the author recounts a visit to a local hospital to view its implementation of a new coding system. One of the nurses commented to her, “We document our care using standardized nursing languages but we don't fully understand why we do” (Rutherford, 2008, para. 1). Consider how you would inform this nurse (and others like her) of the importance of standardized nursing terminologies.
Reflect on the value of using a standard language in nursing practice. Consider if standardization can be limited to a specialty area or if one standard language is needed across all nursing practice. Then, identify examples of standardization in your own specialty or area of expertise. Conduct additional research using the Walden Library that supports your thoughts on standardization of nursing terminology.
Post on or before Day 3
an explanation of why nurses need to document care using standardized nursing languages and whether this standardization can be limited to specialty areas or if it should be across all nursing practice. Support your response using specific examples from your own specialty or area of expertise and using at least one additional resource from the Walden Library

Key Topics in Health Care Technology Evaluation
The amount of new information and data, and the number of available technologies are growing at an ever-accelerating rate. Did you know that during any given 24 hours, humanity generates enough new information to fill the Library of Congress 70 times (Smolan & Erwitt, 2012)? As a nurse informaticist, it is important to keep current on new developments in the field, but with the rapid pace of change, that effort can be overwhelming. It is easier to keep current with key trends if nurse informaticists focus on selected issues.
In this Discussion, you consider key topics in the field of health care technology. You then consider the different approaches you could take when designing an evaluation in these areas. For example, if you are interested in usability, your goal could be to determine if a system is user friendly from the viewpoint of a nurse. A different goal might be to determine if the location of the system facilitates ease of use from the viewpoint of physicians.
Note:
This Discussion serves as practice for the first part of your Evaluation Project. What you derive from your Discussion with colleagues will likely inform the work that you do in Part 1 of the Evaluation Project.
The Discussion focuses on the following major topics in the health care information field:
Implementing HIT Systems
Consumer health information
Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
Decision support systems
Electronic health records (EHR)
Tele-medicine and eHealth
Nursing documentation
Other Issues Related to the Use of HIT Systems

1. W

. Note that this article does not try to clear up some of the ambiguities surrounding race and Christianity... Davis is happy to simply provide you with some stories and offer his thoughts on their significance. So, your paragraph here should indicate that you recognize that things are rather complicated here! One strand you might want to keep an eye on is the relationship between theory and practice... in other words, how did theoretical teachings about race actually work out in real life?
The second selection is an article by Brian Bantum, a Christian pastor and scholar. He argues here that Christians cannot be "post-racial" given our current state of affairs.
2. Being "post-racial" initially might sound like it could be a good thing... What does Bantum mean by the term "post-racial" and what are some of his reasons for saying that Christians cannot be "post-racial" (if you're stuck, think about his claims that "race matters" in various ways)?
3. On page 7, Bantum talks about 2 "beasts". Explain the difference between the "beast" of the 1960's and the "beast" of today.
4. Briefly discuss 2 examples from the text that show the difference that Bantum's Christian faith makes for how he understands the topic of race. (hint: he continually talks about discipleship, a word that you all should be familiar with by now...)

The final project for this course requires you to communicate your analysis of a text multi-modally. Theories of multi-modal communication recognize that we experience the world through multiple senses simultaneously. It’s through these senses that we make sense of the world. Analyzing multi-modally provides an opportunity for you to better understand your chosen topic and to work on your communication skills.
The project is divided into 2 parts: the proposal paper andthe final project. The purpose of the proposal is to explain your project. The proposal should specify which text or texts you’ve chosen to work with, which modes of communication your project will incorporate, why you’ve chosen the text(s), why those modes of communication are best suited to your analysis, and how those modes of communication will come together in your project.
For example, if I chose to work with two poems from the last unit of the course I would start by naming which poems and explaining why they interest me. Then I would specify which modes of communication I would be incorporating and why. I might choose to work with visual, verbal, and aural communication, for example, if I were working with poetry because poetry communicates much of its meaning through figurative language and sound. Finally, I would explain how those modes of communication would work together in the project—I might be working with visual art, such as painting or drawing, and music; or I might be working with digital art and a voice recording. You don’t need to know your exact thesis or which theme you’ll be focusing on, at times that only becomes clear once you start the work of analysis.

From this perspective, spirituality is at the center of the relationship between humans and nature and its also the means by which humans connect or reconnect with nature.
Our text book presents a different perspective. According to our text, technology is the means by which humans adapt to, interact with and make sense out of nature. Technology is what allows us as humans to live fully within an otherwise powerful and somewhat uncontrollable natural world. From this perspective, technology, rather than spirituality, is at the center of the relationship between humans and nature and the means by which humans connect or reconnect with nature.
How do you perceive, based on your personal experience, the relationship between humans, technology, nature, and religion/spirituality? Do you agree with the perspective of the film? With the text? A combination of the two? Neither?
Be specific in your argument and use examples from the film, text, and your experience to support your argument.

The film I chose is " The Wizard of Oz".
Reflect
There are many ways in which technology is affecting the production, distribution, and appreciation of films. For example, think of how CGI, animation, and other advances in digital technology have changed the ways in which stories are told on film. Then, consider how the Internet has changed the way we access, evaluate, and discuss films.
Choose a film and discuss the importance of technological advancements to its success as a mode of storytelling. How might it have been told differently, for better or worse, without these technological advancements?
Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.

The fear that this population feels is not fear of the diagnosis “but by the structural relations defining the economic condition of a low-income, immigrant community that intersect with the incidence of chronic disease” (
Page-Reeves, Niforatos, Mishra, Regino, Gingrich, & Bulten, 2013
). It is very disheartening that people fear the social part of medicine so much that they will go without medical help and face the consequences of undiagnosed diabetes which just gets more complicated the further the disease progresses. Ultimately when they do seek help it is more expensive and more intensive. This is a difficult situation for this specific ethnic group.

The Extra Credit Assignment In Topic 6 you and your classmates consi.docxhe45mcurnow
The Extra Credit Assignment In Topic 6 you and your classmates considered Lin-Manuel Miranda’s choice of Alexander Hamilton as an archetypical American. For this extra credit assignment choose one person about whom you have learned this summer session who you think is an archetypical American and explain what “American” characteristics you think they embody.
You may not choose Alexander Hamilton. Rather, for this assignment, I want you to find your own Hamilton!
Your assignment should be at least 500 words.
Your choice must appear in Out of Many and/or in one of the assigned primary or secondary sources. But a lot of interesting historical figures from lesser-known people like Phyllis Wheatley or James Otis to even well-known people, like Pocahontas, Thomas Jefferson, Frederick Douglas, or Abraham Lincoln
only get brief coverage in the assigned reading due to time-constraints. So, for this assignment I want you to do a bit of additional research. In your essay, in addition to drawing on information from the assigned reading, also incorporate information from one good-quality internet source. The website you use must end in .edu (= associated with a college or university), .gov (= associated with the US government), or .pbs.org (= associated with PBS). I highly recommend getting your website approved by me before you write your essay. (Email me at any time to check.)

The Estrangement of Labour, page 1 of 3We shall start out from a.docxhe45mcurnow
The Estrangement of Labour
, page 1 of 3
We shall start out from an actual economic fact. The worker becomes poorer the more wealth he produces, the more his production increases in power and extent. The worker becomes an ever cheaper commodity the more commodities he produces. The devaluation of the human world grows in direct proportion to the increase in value of the world of things. Labour not only produces commodities; it also produces itself and the workers as a commodity and it does so in the same proportion in which it produces commodities in general.
This fact simply means that the object that labour produces, its product, stands opposed to it as something alien, as a power independent of the producer …. The realization of labour is its objectification. In the sphere of political economy, this realization of labour appears as a loss of reality for the worker, objectification as loss of and bondage to the object, and appropriation as estrangement, as alienation.
So much does the realization of labour appear as loss of reality that the worker loses his reality to the point of dying of starvation. So much does objectification appear as loss of the object that the worker is robbed of the objects he needs most not only for life but also for work. Work itself becomes an object which he can only obtain through an enormous effort and with spasmodic interruptions. So much does the appropriation of the object appear as estrangement that the more objects the worker produces the fewer can he possess and the more he falls under the domination of his product, of capital ….
The Estrangement of Labour
, page 2 of 3
Up to now, we have considered the estrangement, the alienation of the worker, only from one aspect—i.e., the worker's relationship to the products of his labour. But estrangement manifests itself not only in the result, but also in the act of production, within the activity of production itself. After all, the product is simply the resume of the activity, of the production. So if the product of labour is alienation, production itself must be active alienation, the alienation of activity, the activity of alienation. The estrangement of the object of labour merely summarizes the estrangement, the alienation in the activity of labour itself.
What constitutes the alienation of labour?
Firstly, the fact that labour is external to the worker—i.e., does not belong to his essential being; that he, therefore, does not confirm himself in his work, but denies himself, feels miserable and not happy, does not develop free mental and physical energy, but mortifies his flesh and ruins his mind. Hence, the worker feels himself only when he is not working; when he is working, he does not feel himself. His labour is, therefore, not voluntary but forced, it is forced labour. It is, therefore, not the satisfaction of a need but a mere means to satisfy needs outside itself. Its alien character is clearly demonstrated by the fact that as soon as no physical or.

The end of the Civil War left the United States in tatters. The sout.docxhe45mcurnow
The end of the Civil War left the United States in tatters. The southern states that had seceded from the Union in the interests of preserving the right to own slaves were devastated economically from four years of war. The northern states that had emerged as victors in the Civil War also had suffered. The task that faced the nation was not only one of reuniting two constituencies who had bitterly fought one another but also of finding a way to heal. The healing, many says, is still continuing.
We will reflect on the process of healing a divided nation in this brief essay. Please do the following:

The emergence of modern science began as a move from theological-bas.docxhe45mcurnow
The emergence of modern science began as a move from theological-based reasoning to observational- and empirically-based reasoning. Two areas of reasoning evolved from this time, inductive and deductive. For example, Galileo, using mathematics and observation, explained the laws of the physical world through deductive reasoning. Francis Bacon, however, sought answers to questions of the physical world through observation and devised many theories from these observations. Cartesian dualism is one school of thought that examined the mind-body relationship. Several branches of scientific thought developed which was based in part on the philosophical underpinnings of the region (e.g. British, French and German). These included positivism, rationalism, and empiricism. From these philosophical views emerged a focus on understanding behavior or more precisely the mind.
Compare and contrast the views of Galileo and Bacon. Explain why these two scientists had an impact on the development of psychology.
Compare the basic principles of Rene Descartes, Immanuel Kant, and John Locke. How do these principles differ in their perspectives of the mind-body relationship? What do these principles add to the comprehensive understanding of psychology as a science?
Explain the cultural and even nationalistic influences on how the different schools of thought developed (positivism, rationalism, and empiricism)? Explain how theological or religious beliefs influence the different schools of thought as they had done to the philosophical views of early centuries?
Justify your answers with appropriate research and reasoning. Comment on the postings of at least two peers. Provide an analysis of each peer’s postings while also suggesting specific additions or clarifications for improving the discussion question response.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

TESDA TM1 REVIEWER FOR NATIONAL ASSESSMENT WRITTEN AND ORAL QUESTIONS WITH A...
The Dual Nature of InformaticsInformatics can be used for impr.docx
1. The Dual Nature of Informatics
Informatics can be used for improving health outcomes not only
for individual patients, but also for whole groups of patients
with similar conditions. This is often referred to as the dual
nature of informatics. Technologies, such as electronic health
records (EHRs) and clinical decision support (CDS) systems,
can provide insights and guidance for health care professionals
at the point of care. In addition, data warehousing and mining
allow health care organizations to use the vast amount of
information stored in EHRs to make predictions and diagnoses
for other patients with similar conditions.
In this Discussion, you examine the dual nature of informatics.
First, you review a scenario and consider the patient
information to be collected and recorded at the point of care.
Then, you decide how this information could be aggregated for
population health and future use.
Consider the following scenario:
Mrs. Jones has come into your office stating that she has been
experiencing frequent dizzy spells. She also reports that she has
been unable to eat anything substantial over the last few days
due to extreme nausea. The last time Mrs. Jones was in your
office, the physician had suggested she start walking around the
block or bicycling around the neighborhood to get her activity
level up. Mrs. Jones admits that she did very little of that after a
“ flip-flop” feeling of her heart scared her. You know that her
symptoms could be a result of many conditions. Following the
prompts on your informatics system, you begin to gather more
specific information about Mrs. Jones’ symptoms and health
history.
2. To prepare:
Based on the scenario, what information would you want to
immediately gather about Mrs. Jones?
With that in mind, compile a list of patient questions you would
like an EHR documentation screen to have.
How might the information derived from these questions help
you provide high-quality care to Mrs. Jones?
Once this information is collected, what alerts might be critical
to the evaluation of Mrs. Jones?
Review this week’s media presentation,
Dual Nature of Informatics Systems
, and reflect on the movement towards more transparent data
and meaningful use. How might the data entered about an
individual patient help to build preventative care and treatment
for whole populations?
Refer back to your list of patient questions. Of these questions,
which would generate data that could be aggregated for use with
a larger group of patients? (
Note:
When developing your questions, consider the whole patient.)
Post on Tuesday 06/06/2016 a minimum of 550 words in APA
format with 4 references
1)
A description of the ideal EHR documentation screen that you
would like to have at the point of care for all patients and why.
2)
Explain how information gathered at the point of care with an
individual patient can be aggregated to help provide high
quality care to a larger population of patients.
