Although the Socratic seminar and the novel left many questions unanswered for me, it made me understand more why things are they way they are in the healthcare and scientific research industries. It made me look more closely at the specific details health care professional do in their line of work. In society, money is the key to getting things to happen. It is inferred by the book that informed consent and bioethics are not as important as the appropriation of funds for research. I can tell that this idea is a huge controversy among different individuals.
In order to minimize the risk of project failure with respect to the Epic system implementation, the three specific strategies I would propose to the board are as follows: 1. Show commitment to the transformation by rolling out the system in clinical applications. Stanford Hospital and Clinics (SHC) had implemented a CPOE system, Carecast, in the late 1990s. This former system was implemented rapidly, without a significant amount of physician involvement in choosing the product or in designing the implementation, which resulted in a system that had many problems and was not well supported. Learning from these mistakes, SHC spent considerable time and effort forming a selection team and gaining consensus for its new EMR system, which resulted in Epic as a clear winner.
When taking a look at Llyod Bitzer’s Rhetorical Situation I see several similarities on his positions compared with many modern well-known rhetoricians. Bitzer explains that rhetorical discourse comes into existence as a response to a situation and without a given situation there would only be communication. With that being said, I think it s appropriate to make my first argument on how this is still apparent in today’s world. Our current government was recently focusing very closely on health care reform, because it was (and still is) an apparent problem (the situation). When the government or the president addressed this issue they were practicing the art of rhetorical discourse by addressing and reacting to the given situation.
Their professional responsibilities exceed any personal values they may have while on the job. At the same time, the HIM’s road is paved with unexpected ethical dilemmas that must be dealt with precisely as outlined by federal laws, regulatory rules and a strict code of ethics. The management of patient health information has been an area for concern for everyone involved in the delivery of healthcare since the recognition and need to document scientific research and medical discoveries. Medical science would not be advanced as it is today had it not been for the enlightened foresight of our early physicians and scientists who aspired to share and record their experiments and outcomes. At the expense of human subjects, great medical breakthroughs occurred that are still in practice today.
Running head: THE PRIMARY CARE CLINIC The Primary Care Clinic Lacey Jaslaine Vaughn March 12, 2013 Strayer University Professor Kathleen Milburne The Primary Care Clinic Discuss the key political, economic, and social forces that may have influenced the development of the clinic. Politics have always had an influence on our healthcare. In the United States, people benefit from our health care system. There are many politicians that are being “paid” in order to keep our health care system the way it has been for years. Obamacare forces people to have health insurance, so it caused those who do not agree with it to make the choice to not get any type of health insurance.
On the other hand, the Obamacare health insurance has many policies that limit your choice of hospitals and doctors. Another bad thing about this program is that you need take care with all medical information that you provide to the government because it becomes controlled by government
Americans do not want to spend their hard earned dollars on programs from which they will not see direct benefits. This phenomenon is where universal health care can play not only an economic role, but also a role in the social trends of the nation. If everyone was part of the same health care policy, a larger sense of community and “certain civic responsibilities” would emerge (Universal Access 3). Harvard’s Law review panel names this idea the “communitarian theory”, or, in other words, the concept that constituents will start to understand that disease and health are issues that affect everyone, even you my fellow representatives (Universal Access 3). This effect will in turn make universal health care not simply a matter of economics, but also a moralizing issue.
One of the goals of socialized medicine is ensuring universal access to health care. Even though this will take a long time to be achieved because people’s opinions are split based on their political views and income. Most democrats believe that socialized medicine is the way to go to help people less fortunate. Where most Republicans believe that there to many cons towards socialized medicine to go with it and there are other ways to help people than a uniform health care for
Explain how health is affected by behaviors, economics, and social structure. Numerous behaviors affect health. Alcohol consumption and illicit drug use are examples of personal decision making and patterns of behavior that have tremendous adverse effects on health and on the nation’s economy (Williams & Torrens, 2010, page 68). Alcohol consumption, beyond a moderate level, is associated with numerous physiological complications including cirrhosis of the liver, various cancers, intestinal disorders, and brain function deterioration and social complications ranging from divorce to poor job performance. Similarly, illicit drug use results in a spectrum of adverse consequences for society such as high level of violent crime, general social
Healthcare Policy Analysis Paper HIPPA Privacy Rules HSM 410 Abstract The policy that I will be analyzing is the HIPPA Privacy Rules. The issue with this policy is that it is difficult in the health care profession to protect its data. This being an issue because there are so many people who need access to patient information, as well as having the correct storage facility for protected health information. Introduction The history of HIPPA Privacy Rules was implemented in 1996 by former President Bill Clinton. The privacy rule is a set of national standards for the protection of certain health information.
