It seems that the benefits for implementing a health records structure outweigh the negative aspects. Conclusion In conclusion, the chosen system structure is health care records in computer driven format. The one mentioned was interoperable electronic health records which are evolving and will continue to do so in the future. This type of technology is making waves and is interesting to learn and implement into a hospital setting. In laboratory registration, EHRs are used more often especially in regards to making sure that all patient information is correct before running or using certain medication.

Ethical Issues in Healthcare Healthcare ethics involves making well researched and considerate decisions about medical treatments, while taking into consideration a patient's beliefs and wishes regarding all aspects of their health. The healthcare industry, above any other, has a high regard for the issues surrounding the welfare of their clientele: their patients. I will be writing about HIPPA laws, confidentiality, the efficiency and cost of information systems, and safeguarding patient data. I chose this topic “Ethical Issues in Healthcare” because I currently work in the health care field and I’m interested in learning more about the topic and about how it affects patient rights as well as the hospital. Computer-based information and communication technologies continue to transform the delivery of healthcare.
To work in a health and social care setting such as to be a doctor or a nurse, communication is used very frequently. Health practitioners must give information to the patient, the law states they are entitled to know about their health and condition. ‘The patient has a right to be given information about his or her medical diagnosis, treatment regimen, and progress.’ This suggests the patients must be informed of everything that is going on about their health, health partitions cannot refuse to give information. This then allows the patient to make appropriate, informed decisions about their health. For example a patient who’s addicted to drugs has the right to know about their therapeutic options that are available, they will be informed of the duration of the treatment and the side effects of the drugs they will be taking.
The impact that Ms. Gordon’s position has on the health care system is crucial. AHIMA’s goals have been to streamline electronic health records in all hospitals and to provide training and certifications to those technicians working in health information management fields. Ms. Gordon’s management expertise in positions such as COO and CEO make it possible for AHIMA to achieve its goals. In conclusion, AHIMA has been on the forefront of introducing innovative health information technologies
At this capacity, nurses will have the role and duty to provide coordinated care to the patients alongside other physicians and personnel who may not visit the patients as regularly as the nurses. In addition, they will also provide diseases management services, as well as, care transitions, among different patients. The nurses will have the responsibility of transferring important medical information, such as medical history, test results, medication lists and patient preferences among the different participants who will take part in the provision of care for the patients. They will also establish accountability through clarifications regarding the individuals responsible for the different aspects of the overall care of the patient. 2.

It is designed to provide educational health information for the general public. The editorial review process ensures that the medical information is objective, accurate and current by working as a team, a collaborative approach provides a system of checks and balances.
System Structures Overview Denise Schuler HCS 533 January 12, 2015 Dr. Kevin Lett System Structures Overview Health statistics and data are important for any organization because it allows the organization to know, at a glance, an array of vital information necessary to operations and patient safety. In the health care industry today, reportable data interconnects and reports on both the clinical side of an organization and the revenue side, it is because of this that having a system structure in place is paramount for data collections. This overview will focus on disease classification structures that are necessary for reimbursement and epidemiological data collections by providing a description of the information system structure, the reason for the focus on this system structure, how this structure applies to utilization in a hospital setting and the advantages and disadvantages of the system structure. Description of the Selected System The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the standard diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health management and clinical purposes; physicians and other health care providers, researchers and payers use this tool in order to classify diseases (World Health Organization, 2015) for statistical data and for reimbursement. This system ranges from ICD 6 to ICD 11(Loscalzo et al, 2007) and
The impact of technology on people that work in the medical profession ICTs play a key role in the provision of healthcare, in both hospitals and general practice in the UK and throughout the world. These include; electronic medical records, health information systems for scheduling or research, using hand-held or portable devices to assist providers with data entry; expert systems enabling both medical practitioners and patients to access information on treatments and drug therapies. Advantages Technological advances have proved highly advantageous to the delivery of the medical service and the rise of medical information systems. Electronic medical databases are now used to record patients history, this reduces time and costs involved in employing administrators. Some medical procedures rely upon the use of computers for analysis, ie x-rays.
Cultural competence lays the groundwork for decreasing disparities in healthcare. Competence is evident when patients experience improvements in the delivery of healthcare. The evidence is shown when patients, nurses, and physicians are able to discuss potential problems without cultural differences impeding medical progress (“What is Cultural Competency, “ 2013). Understanding culture is imperative in healthcare. It impacts the patient’s health and the ability to heal.
