Registered Nurse Do you remember being a child and constantly being asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Well I was the kid that always gave a different answer every time. I was always undecided regarding the career that I wanted to pursue. As I got older I realized that I wanted to have a career in the medical field. Being a nurse interests me because it requires the study of the human body, it is respected and because I find fulfillment in being able to help those who are in need. Once I started researching a career in nursing I realized that there were a lot more types of nurses then I had originally imagined.
Abstract This paper explores how to receive an education and advance within the health informatics career. A variety of sources are combined to show the nature of the job, duties, and the salary you could expect based upon the type and location of the position. The healthcare informatics degree has been specialized over the years because of the increasing demand for credentialed applicants, but research also shows that receiving a degree in information systems and healthcare administration will cover the basic topics needed to start at entry level. Locally, the jobs available are mostly listed separately within information systems and healthcare, but there are a few exceptions where clinics want the truly educated and knowledgeable individual.
They work without input from the user. Expert Systems have helped evolve the health care field to what it is today. Expert systems are used just as x-rays and lab values are obtained to improve the human understanding of a patient’s condition. Health care workers do not always have the knowledge base to treat every condition encountered. Expert systems are used to close the gap in knowledge providing effective, efficient, and accurate care.
Consumers are more interesting in the way technology has advanced with in the health care era. Patients are aware that all medical information is safely kept in a computer, but are concern of possible typos or errors that happens with the use of computers. On the flip side consumers understand that retrieving the health information can be done faster for test results and other important information that may usually take weeks to retrieve. Consumers now know it is easier for them to request refills on medication, and sent to the pharmacy quicker. Consumers realize medical providers are gaining a better way to manage the medical information, which will help improve the health care industry, and provide positive medical care.
Training and education are vital in the healthcare field because it determine the quality of care that each provider or administrator will deliver. The dedication of a healthcare provider starts with the education that is received. Even after the initial education rather it is graduate school for administrators, technical school for support staff, or medical school for the providers the education is a dynamic part of the healthcare career. Continued trainings would be important to stay current on certifications or licensure no matter what the role is played in healthcare normally there will always be a need for additional training even if it is just a refresher course. 2.
Introduction ‘Staying Healthy’ is the new mantra of people young and old and there is an ever increasing pressure on Healthcare Organisations and Governments to provide quality health care to the community they serve. There is growing awareness among people with regards to healthy practices that help one to remain guarded against many of the diseases related to the modern life style. People now actively participate in ‘Self Care’ and this has led to attempts in moving point of care from the clinic/physician’s office to the patient’s home (Prabhu, Iyappan, Healthcare, & TCS). With this healthcare transformation, people are now proactively participating and performing their own responsibilities at their fingertips through wearable devices and
On the surface, just being able to simply send the basic patient chart to another doctor in the practice, the front desk, the nearest hospital or even a specialist is an improvement on the current paper process (Source One). However, even more important than ease of use, is the ability of the EMR software to track patient systems across multiple providers in the same practice or across hospital in an entire integrated health network (Source Seven). The physicians would have the option to view other patient charts with similar patient symptoms to a patient they were currently treating in real-time, which would allow them to see what they were ultimately diagnosed with, potentially saving the life of the patient on the table. It could essentially cut out the ‘learning curve’ of that doctor, especially if it was a set of symptoms that they were not as familiar with (Source Sixteen). Further, the EMR software is capable of alerting the doctors to trends that are taking place across the health system, making them aware of current bugs that may be floating around the area, which can help with quicker, accurate treatment of diseases and illnesses (Source
I also plan on using this background and experiences to hopefully one day pursue a career in nursing or perhaps a physician assistant. I know that by completing this step that I can advance in several different arenas in the health care field. I look forward to completing my program and starting my new
I want to make something out of myself. I do not want to end my schooling after I get my diploma. I want to further my education. I feel this program can help me get an early start on my future career in nursing. It has always been a dream of mine to work in the medical field as a nurse.
