...EHR/CPOE Implementation Executive Summary This thesis follows the implementation of Computerized Patient Order Entry/Electronic Health Record (CPOE/EHR) system implemented by Partners Healthcare System (PHS) during 2002-2003 for all its constituent practitioners. It looks at the problems faced during implementation of the system and identifies new potential problems that the system may encounter. Particularly in consideration is the effort it takes to convince healthcare professionals to switch to CPOE/EHR, the cost of installing the system, the potential of automating redundancies in the system and the potential of healthcare professionals getting skewed data out of the system suggestions. It looks at the management challenges faced by the administration when bringing about CPOE/EHR to PHS and divulges in some techniques that were used for tackling these issues. It defines ways in which the system is being used to improve patient healthcare and save millions of dollars for the government, healthcare facilities and patients alike. This thesis also finds ways to combat the potential problems that may arise later and the system and looks at related government policies and statutes which apply to the implementation. Finally some metrics of success are discussed their effectiveness in driving a result. Problem Definition CPOE/EHR Implementation can face a host of problems that can hinder the process flow and the acceptability of the system by the people involved. The initial...

... In the world of healthcare, there are many advantages to improving the quality of healthcare while keeping the costs of healthcare down. One system is known as the “Pay for performance” system. This system is aimed at improving healthcare by offering a financial reward. This type of program usually pays a bonus if the providers or hospital meet on an agreed upon performance measure, for example, reducing the hemoglobin A1c in diabetic patients. Hemoglobin A1c is a test that shows the average level of blood sugar in a patient within the past 2-3 months. This is important for diabetic patients to see whether their blood sugar levels have been on target or not. These incentives can be paid directly to physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers to ensure that their facility carries out such improvements and to achieve the most optimal quality of care for their patients. Another system is called “pay for performance”, where paying providers for resulting in better outcomes for patients, who in return will improve these outcomes. While both of these programs are a great way to improve the quality of healthcare by giving providers some type of motivation to improve their services, it can also come with some penalties. Hospitals and nursing homes can face financial penalties if their patient becomes ill while in their care, for example, a patient having a Urinary Tract Infection from that patient having to use a catheter. o Data Analysis Procedures One...

...HCS/465 October 3, 2013 Results The procedure of collecting data was appropriate because the data was collected in the most efficient and logical way of collecting data for obtaining the desired outcome. The data for this study was collected by a web-enabled database for error reporting system in a hospital setting. Nurses, physicians, and pharmacists had access to the system at any time to report any type of medication error. The rights of the subjects were protected because the patients information was never used on the error reporting database and the error reports made by the staff were anonymous, other than tracking what job title the error reporter held. Reporting any error was completely voluntary to the staff and staff was fully aware of what the system was for. The data collection tool in this instance was a web-enabled database for error reporting. This system supports the reliability of the study by keeping accurate percentage tallies of the types of errors, who is reporting the errors, and the suggestions to prevent the errors. Data Analysis Procedures The data analysis procedures in this study were appropriate for the data collected because the procedures used to analyze the data were as follows: two experts, the investigator, and the pharmacist worked together to analyze the material. The two experts agreed on the categories of errors and the one year time limit on data collection. The data analysis procedures are appropriate for answering the research question...

...The importance of identity in falls prevention. Falls are frequently identified as one of the elderly giants. It mostly generates diagnostic and rehabilitative dilemmas in today's healthcare practice. The importance of a fall lies in its effect on the older person's health, function and independence. A fall can be the first indication of an undiagnosed disease and repeated falls often indicate a change in an older person's functional ability. The prevention of falls in the older population is the most important area in clinical practice which reduces fall associated mortality and morbidity. Fear of falling is commonly identified although poorly defined phenomena among older people (close, 2005). Approximately one third of adults over 65 years of age fall each year. Many will have some psychological consequences after a fall. A frequently expressed psychological factor is loss of confidence in self functioning. This may lead to physical deconditioning, depression, isolation from the society and a low quality of life. Low fall-related efficacy is associated with the number and severity of future falls in older adults with balance disorders (Bishop 2010). A critique of the qualitative study. The importance of identity in falls prevention is a qualitative study where author clearly offers a picture of the occurrence of falls, its prevention and the interventions in older adults who lives in our community. Each individual dreams to have a community where older adults can...

...Introduction to Big data Every day, 2.5 quintillion bytes of complex, every changing data are generated. (IBM) Data comes from social sites, digital images, transaction records, and countless unknown resources. The amount of data we generate daily is enormous, and the rate it is being generated is accelerating. As we head into a future where technology dominates the global market, this pace will only continue accelerate. Businesses and other entities are aware of this data and its power. In a survey taken by Capgemini and the Economist, over 600 global business leaders identified their companies as data driven and identified data analytics as an integral part of their business. Big Data solutions are considered the answer for handling this data converting it into useful information. According to the O'Reilly Radar Team (Big Data Now), Big Data consists of three variables – size, velocity and variety. Data is considered big if conventional systems cannot handle its size. It is not only that size of Big Data that matters, but also the volume of transactions that come with it. The second issue is how fast the data is generated and how fast if it changes (velocity). New data and updated data is constantly generated, and it must be processed and analyzed quickly to create real value for an organization. The final issue is data structure (variety). Data is typically collected in raw form, unstructured, from a variety of sources. To acquire useful information, data needs to be processed...

Day by day the capacity of data is increasing & many of industries are not able to manage it efficiently. By 2020, a total of 35 zeta-bytes of data will be produced as the average annual generation of information grows 43,000 percent, according to Computer Sciences Corporation. Big data may still be a relatively new phenomenon, but its impact is already being felt throughout various industries.
