Over the years of medical care have been focuses on standards of care based on studies. However, studies do not take into account the variability of individuals within a population. Personalized medicine seeks to provide an objective basis for consideration of such individual differences. Traditionally, personalized medicine has been limited to the consideration of a patient's family history, social circumstances, environment and behaviors in tailoring individual care. A key attribute of medical model is the development of companion diagnostics, which measure levels of proteins, genes or specific mutations are used to provide a specific therapy for an individual's condition by stratifying disease status, selecting the proper medication and tailoring dosages to that patient's specific needs.

Case Study on Interwest Healthcare Shanair Mills Saint Leo University Case Study on Interwest Healthcare In this case study there are a few things that happened that might have caused the problem. The entire approach to the corrective training of data entry was not done tactfully. We are told that, “the hospital staffs are not being careful when entering data into the firm’s management system” (Brickley, Smith, &Zimmerman, 2009, p. 38). Manzoni is the CEO and gets the reports so she can verify that there is an issue. Singh should not have had to convince Manzoni that a problem exists.
access site, several tubings, and multiple-chamber infusion pumps. You should use a labeling system that identifies the bag, infusion pump chambers, and tubing. If a nurse walks in a room and cannot identify what drug is hanging and how long it has been running; she will throw out the IV and begin new tubing. This could cause the hospital thousands of dollars due to wasted tubes thrown away prior to time needed for discarding. Patient safety risk is heightened when the tubing of intravenous medicine aren’t labeled.

How does the general location and internal layout of the Operating Department influence patient care? The general location and internal layout of operating departments, whether inpatient or day case, need to adhere to national guidelines ensuring patient care is upheld (Woodhead & Fudge 2012). The location of the hospitals operating department is usually located where supporting service departments and services are accessible. Within larger hospital trusts this may not always be feasible to have all desired services adjacent to the operating department (Berry & Kohn 2013), central placing the operating department would then maximise access to facilities (Woodhead & Fudge 2012). The layout of the operating department itself and the route patients will use is determined by infection control, ensuring safety to both patients and practitioners (Barrow, C 2009).

The EHR is a computerized electronic record of patient health information generated by one or more encounters in any care delivery setting. Included in this information are patient demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data and radiology reports. The EHR automates the clinician's workflow and has the ability to generate a complete record of a patient encounter - as well as supporting other care-related activities directly or indirectly, including evidence-based decision support, quality management, and outcome reporting. In this paper I will discuss the many benefits and drawbacks of EHR’s, the types of software used and their functions as well as my thoughts on the future of Electronic Health Records. Many healthcare organizations have switched over to electronic health records since President George W. Bush called for health records to be stored electronically by 2014, and President Obama’s administration plans to continue pushing for that deadline.
