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). With the use of EHR’s in hospitals and clinics worldwide, improved clinical documentation is possible. The use of electronic health records in the private sector has been widely recognized as an efficient way to improve the provision of health care and enable health care providers to access and share

CDS can operate as a stand-alone system, or incorporate seamlessly into an Electronic Health Record. Due to the overwhelming amount of information, technological changes, and research based changes to recommendations available, clinicians are compelled to seek out consultation for appropriate recourse during the management of the care of their patients. CDS can provide an automated mechanism to such support. Clinical decision support strengthens the use of other healthcare IT such as EHRs, e-prescription, Computerized Physician Order Entry (cPOE), and medication reconciliation, and causes synergy between those systems to help providers reach the proper diagnosis and treatment of their patients. The article "Information in practice", is a systematic review of trials used to identify features critical to the success of implementing clinical decision-support software.
This allows the patient to have a more active say in their health care and the tools to help improve their own health situation. Health care providers have noticed the value of engaging patients to have more said in their health care. Health care providers have noticed that by managing health care plans will streamline services and cut cost and shortened hospital stays and show patients and their families how to provide care for themselves.

This allows a new way of thinking on advertising and a new way of handling public relations.
Using Pender's Health Promotion Theory is a great way to implement education in the care of patients. Education, treatment and prevention of diseases and/or their co-morbidities are the foundations of nursing practice. The current standards are encouraging education and prevention as a means to save money individually by the patient, by the hospitals, by the state, and nationally. With health care reform at the forefront of everyone's mind prevention and health promotion is of the utmost importance. References American Heart Association Website.
The person centred care plan has been adapted from this approach and highlights the necessity of the clients individual beliefs and values and interests and how they behave and cope with life at present. These person centred plans are widely used throughout the health care setting and can be applied to many situations. This approach could be used in supporting a client in his 40’s who is being cared for in a general hospital and recovering from a heart attack. The client will benefit from this personal program because it will be based entirely on him and will enable him to take positive steps back to good health. A good rapport between the client and the carers will form a sense of trust and reliance which will assist in progress.
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.
As CEO of Middle field hospital I believe specific strategies need to be developed in order to improve the financial performance of the hospital. One of the problems at Middle field is competition from a nearby hospital. The nearby hospital that competes with Middlefield has opened a wellness center that offers a comprehensive array of preventative and wellness services to the community. This facility is attracting young families to seek services at this location. At Middlefield we have been relying on our reputation too much.
Therefore, doctors, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, and the individual themselves are in fact what makes up the the health care industry that needs to reduce the risks from using medicines and to get the most benefit out of them.
