...Tanyel Cornelius January 14, 2015 HCS/ ABC Hospital Scenario Mandatory Discussion Mrs. Koger- Boyd In a setting such as a privately owned hospital located in a rural area, stability is critical to the community and their health. The ABC hospital has been operating in the same manner for decades, leaving the implantation of the new technologies behind. In order to survive financially, the hospital must focus on quality improvement which should be included as a vital component. The focus should include workforce strategies, financial improvement, and ways to interact with the community and the surrounding areas. By employing an performance assessing process on site will allow each process to be examined and researched ensuring that patients are receiving the care they need to stay healthy. To improve performance some of the newer technologies needs to be implemented for the hospital to receive faster more efficient information when dealing with patients health information. Some of the advantages of implanting such things as EHR (Electronic Health Records), can help staff ensure their patients receive the care that is needed. EX.., A patient comes in to be seen for an emergency allergy reaction but does not know what the allergy is related too. If the Electronic Health Record is available, it may show allergies, and any prior history that is related to the situation. The time it takes to figure out the allergy may mean life or death. Keeping up with the legalities...

...Telemedicine 2 HCS/483 10/12/2015 Rea Burleson Telemedicine Telemedicine gives a treatment and diagnosis by remote through telecommunications to locations in need of care. Telemedicine has the privacy risks, security safeguards, and strategies for evaluating the effectiveness. Telemedicine has privacy risks. These privacy risk can include confidentiality, reliability of the technology, the risk of fraud and abuse, liability, and informed consent. The risk to confidentiality happens because it is an exchange of information between two parties. Sometimes that information exchange can be breached. The reliability of technology can be a risk. The integrity of a system can only go so far with maintenance and updates needed. In a situation of a true emergency if the systems down it can greatly affect those who were in need of it like with monitoring. Working in telecommunication, I have found it is common for data to be misused inappropriately by an unintended party. Information that is taken and abused. For example using a friends insurance because you have none. Due to the privacy risk this can lead insurance companies to cover all parties, services, and geographic locations. There is a risk of liability with telemedicine. Informed consent has its privacy risk were the patient might not be aware and agree to all the service and limitations of the provider. The informed consent will be different due to the different type of visit Telemedicine safeguards...

...Clinician Provider Order Entry Implementation Health Care Information Systems HCS 483 September 02, 2013 Clinician Provider Order Entry Implementation Implementation Process Health care organizations look forward when starting the implementation process for information system implementation. Adding or upgrading health care systems is met with excitement and opposition from the employees who must use the system and adapt their current practice processes. Constructing a rollout period for the employees to train and get specific training for their job requirements is imperative to the success of the health system implementation. Employees knowledge of how to use the system is equally important to the implementation process as choosing and designing the program that is best for the organization. Roles and responsibilities The project or system champion is someone in the organization who is vested in the completion of the project. The champion’s role is to help obtain the buy-in of other physicians into the use of the new system and makes sure the physicians who will be using the system have adequate input in the selection process of how the new system will be used. The board of directors is the governing entity for the health care organization that approves the acquisition and implementation of a new system. The board of director’s role is to have a voice for the organization. Going forward the board needs to be involved in how the new system will affect the processes...

...HCS 483 B. Crocker July 18, 2012 Introduction Adopting electronic health information systems is never easy for a company when deciding the right time to do so. Companies are realizing now more than ever that electronic health records are imperative when creating strong relationships between patients and healthcare providers. In the history of storing information, healthcare facilities stored only paper files and in only one location. As technology becomes a larger part of the healthcare industry, many providers have made the transition. Health care information systems come such as electronic health records (EHR) and management software. EHRs save a patient's health history. EHRs also contains some of the same information about a patient as a regular medical chart. Scanners and printers also play a role in EHR because of the amount of data that is being transmitted into and from a digital format. Management software allows organization to set appointments and referrals, but does not organize specific information. Selecting and acquiring an information system for any health care organization starts with why the organization is considering it in the first place and where to start. All health information systems consist of the software hardware. Health information technology (HIT) software is utilized on computers by medical staff. Data is often stored and managed off site by the HIT provider. Organizations should consider opportunities, problems and needs by analyzing and...

...Information System Briefing Sonya Harmon HCS 483 01/16/2012 Information System Briefing Many Health Care Organizations are relying on information technology and has given the organization a competitive advantage. A lot of time and resources goes into the selection and acquisition process of a health information system that is right for a health care organization. Selecting and acquiring a health information system can be a way to improve the health care organization even though the process can be a tedious and difficult task. Selection and Acquisition Process The first step in selecting and acquiring an information system for a health organization is to gather as much information as possible and create a committee, the selection process consists of evaluating cost, how it benefits the organization, and getting adequate input from other senior leaders involved in the process. There are several decisions that have to be made in the selection process such as who will be in charge of the selection process, what practice will be used to select the health information system, and who will be a part of the process. The decision has to be made about the health information system products that are on the market, and finding a credible vendor that can complete the process. The acquisition process also involves careful planning, selecting, implementing, and evaluating. This process is known as systems development life cycle, each phase in this process has several functions...

...It Project Implementation Failures HCS/483 HEALTH CARE INFORMATION SYSTEMS October 4, 2011 Ms. Mary Anne Moore It Project Implementation Failures The purpose of this report is to identify five indications for the Information Technology (IT) project implementation failure of the Memorial Health System. This repost will also describe for each indicator of failure, what could be done differently to avoid or eliminate the effects of the indicators in the future. DEFICIENCY OF CLARIFICATION If the purpose and objectives for implementing IT into an organization is not made clear and concise then there will be resistance. Meaning if it is not made abundantly clear to leadership and staff (steering team) how the (in the case of Memorial Health System) Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system will be used to improve healthcare and reduce medical error, the initiative will be doomed from the very start. TO ABATE OR AVOID THIS POSSIBLE OUTCOME Ensure that all employees whose jobs will be directly affected by implementation of the CPOE are thoroughly informed of goal, objective, and expectations of what the perspective technological advancement entails. INADEQUATE CONFIDENCE IN THE PROJECT One of the major problems implementing the CPOE at the Memorial Health Systems was that physicians did not feel confident that the CPOE would aid them, instead add onto their work load. If physicians that work in a hospital have no confidence that a prospective process will...

...What are the phases of the system implementation process? What strategies for managing change can we use to increase the system’s organizational acceptance and use? For any system to be implemented properly certain steps should be or must be followed for success of the project. There are quite a few phases necessary for the system implementation process and while the order does not necessarily have to follow exactly, all are important. The workflow and project analysis process involves several steps and one of them is to evaluate currently used procedures and processes. By doing so, the next step of identifying opportunities for improvement is made much easier. One would then identify interfaces with other systems and sources of data as well as determining the number and location of workstations needed to the end project. If necessary, a redesign of the location for the system could be part of this process (Wager, K. A., Lee, F. W., & Glaser, J. P., 2009). According to (Wager, K. A., Lee, F. W., & Glaser, J. P., 2009), system installation would follow the preceding phase and this is when system configuration is determined. Preparation of the computer room along with ordering and installing the needed hardware is important. The IT infrastructure if already in place should be upgraded where necessary and then the customization of software completed. Of course, the system needs to be tested repeatedly. At some point in the implementation process staff will need to...

...1. Difference between prospective validation, retrospective validation and revalidation. Prospective Validation * Carried out during the development stage by means of a risk analysis of the production process, which is broken down into individual steps * These are then evaluated on the basis of past experience to determine whether they might lead to critical situations * Where possible critical situations are identified, the risk is evaluated, the potential causes are investigated and assessed for probability and extent, the trial plans are drawn up, and the priorities set. * The trials are then performed and evaluated, and an overall assessment is made * If, at the end, the results are acceptable, the process is satisfactory. Unsatisfactory processes must be modified and improved until a validation exercise proves to be satisfactory. * This form of validation is essential in order to limit the risk of erors occurring on the production scale, eg. In the preparation of injectable products. Retrospective Validation * Retrospective Validation involves the examination of past experience of production on the assumption that composition, procedures, and equipment remain unchanged * Such experience and the results of in-process and final control tests are then evaluated * Recorded difficulties and failures in production are analyzed to determine the limits of process parameters. * Retrospective Validation is obviously not a quality assurance...

...vanek-140512-620-thumb-620xauto-370865 Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin skates amid a drill at the group's preparation camp on Friday in Arlington, Va. In the first place year Capitals mentor Barry Trotz needs Ovechkin to turn into a more finish player and the initial phase, in the seat manager's eyes, is to recover the Russian objective scorer on the left wing. (Scratch Wass/Associated Press) Alex Ovechkin moved again to left wing by new mentor Barry Trotz As though he knew the inquiry was impending, Alex Ovechkin grinned when asked what his new mentor needs him to take a shot at. "On backcheck?" Ovechkin said from Arlington, Va. An alternate season, an alternate opportunity to discover whether one of the class' most gifted objective scorers can genuinely assist some all the more on resistance. The Washington Capitals opened preparing camp Friday with new mentor Barry Trotz, who says he'll work, as different mentors have before him, to make the three-time group MVP into a more finish player. On the off chance that Day 1 is any evidence, Ovechkin sounds prepared to be a co-agent understudy. "On the off chance that you need to be great," he said, "you need to chip away at everything." Step No. 1, as Trotz had shown at one time, is moving Ovechkin once more to left wing, turning around a seismic movement under past mentor Adam Oates. Ovechkin headed the NHL with 51 objectives keep going season playing generally on the right, however his in addition to short was less 35, and...
