Patients want to feel comfortable enough with a nurse without the presence of a doctor. The ratio of nurses to doctors is significantly greater in health care, so it is important that nurses know just as much as doctors when it comes to providing basic care. It is within the right of a human being to have good health. It is also within the right of a health care provider to be as knowledgeable as possible in order to provide the best care possible to a patient. The American Nurse Association plays a key role in the health care reformation because it pushes all providers to be even more knowledgable within their field.
Future Trends and Effects of EHR Angelene Sears HCIS/265 September 28, 2014 Lucinda Shipley Future Trends and Effects of EHR Electronic health records are enhancing patient overall health care across the country today.

Whenever most medical groups can improve clinical quality, they will move in that direction. The ultimate result would be an improvement in the value they deliver to the patient.
As the relative size of the overhead cost pools increase, the Apple Valley group would need to switch to the double apportionment method in order to accurately allocate all overhead costs. Also, the double apportionment method is a more fair and equal allocation method to the patient services departments. As allocation rates increase and become more concentrated in only the patient services departments, the sensitivity improves as costs are directly attributed to profit generating cost centers. These allocations are based on estimates, and absolute patient volume provides the most accurate assessments for profitability. Regardless of the allocation method, Adult Medicine is the most profitable department, and Obstetrics is the next most profitable department.
They also commit to providing great value as opposed to being the least experience provider of any particular services that are affordable. California Sutter has also made significant strides by holding their annual overall average price increases for health plans to single digits in the past several years. Sutter Health also continues to implement more efficient ways to deliver their services, conserve their limited resources and spend wisely.

In contrast, clearly defined goals for the EMR system, organizational and individual user commitment to the process, and enthusiastic leadership by an individual or a core group ensure the greatest opportunity for achieving desired results (Wager, Lee, White, Ward & Omstein, 2000). If, according to W. Edward Deming, the basics of quality are built into a service during its conception and each cycle of its application, the outcome would be reduced costs, increased profits, and greater consumer loyalty and satisfaction. These tenets are applicable to the delivery of health care. As information technology provides the tools, the delivery of health care will become higher in quality. As experience has shown, quality medical care is the most cost effective medical

AHIMA believes that hospitals and providers must improve clinical documentation in preparation for the expanded scope of clinical data beyond a single patient encounter to a comprehensive data set comprising the entire continuum of care (www.ahimafoundation.org, 2014).
