At Hospital XYZ, during the morning period of 8am to noon, the wait time from when a physician orders an X-ray to the time the patient returns from having it done is too long as this is when most of the X-Ray orders are given and there is a backlog of patients. During a process mapping exercise, it is determined that a large number of orders given during this time were "catch all" orders, where the physicians are ordering them just to be on the safe side. In order to fix this problem and not the symptom, the hospital should: Complete in-service training about the "catch all" orders 5. Workflow and process mapping should occur in the middle to late planning stages of an EHR implementation because you will have figured out all of your "bugs" by then.
The process of tagging all the medical records was an overtime project that many employees volunteered to complete. We would work our full day of work then stay after and we had teams of employees that would load the records up on carts and then there were some on the computer and would put the RFID tag inside the chart in the back, then we would scan the label of the patient and then scan the tag. The records were then put back on the shelves and we were able to trace the record within an hour after putting them on the shelf. The shelves were geared with a device to receive a signal and then resend it back to the sender (computer) of the signal allowing the sender to verify the record was on the shelf. The next step was to train the other employees to use the system when looking for a medical record.

In addition to the formalized education they receive in nursing school, there is also much to learn when they transition from student to professional nurse. It is the responsibility of the organization to make sure that their staff is competent and skilled to perform the duties expected of them. Morrison (2011) states “When patients or clients enter the healthcare system at any level, they make at least one assumption – that those who are treating them know what they are doing”. In the case of Lawanda Person and St. Dismas hospital, it seems that there were many areas where fault could be found. Lawanda Person was a recently graduated nursing student with limited medical/surgical unit experience hired to work in a critical care unit at St. Dismas Hospital.
There should also be some form of additional education given to personnel who are demonstrating continuing difficulties with data entry (Hebda & Czar, 2013). There has been much discussion about the relevancy of standardized nursing terminology and its usage in patient care.

The subject of this paper is to discuss the situation concerning the nursing home and the residents, and to make arrangements for these individuals, the advantages and disadvantages of using traditional, electronic, and social media for health care communication. This paper will also discuss the effects of HIPAA and other regulations on the use of these media for health care communication.
