...E-Mail Communication Miscommunication can be a significant challenge in the health care market. Strategies to improve communication with patients include a variety of communication modalities. Consumers and providers both benefit from the variety of communication modalities; one specific beneficial mode of communication used is e-mail. Providers, who have good communication relationships with patients led to patient satisfaction and trust. Patients have a sense of connection with providers and organizations when they can communicate with the provider at any given time. Although there are several communication modalities, new technologies like e-mail in the health care settings have shown a positive change in the health care industry, relating to patient benefits, the value of maintaining patient confidentiality, and maintaining this use of communication in the health care market (John Fortney, 2010). This research paper will discuss the use of email in the health care setting and the pros and cons. Improving clinical outcomes stems from effective communication with patients and providers. New technology has increased the form of communication with patients and providers. E-mail is used to communicate with family, friends, co-workers, and health care professionals. The use of the Internet and e-mail communication has grown as new technology advance and continue to progress. E-mail seems to be an admirable way for patients to communicate with providers.

...Abstract Nursing Informatics as we have learned over the course of this class is defined as computer science mixed with nursing and information science. This paper will present my view of the advantages of nursing informatics and how it has enhanced the quality environment in which we work as nurse's work and has changed how we care for our patients. The most basic advantage is that it improves communication between all disciplinarians of the health care industry and I will make my statement of how I believe this communication can be of advantage to all of the healthcare industry. The Advantages of Nursing Informatics and Quality Improvement The world of nursing is changing on a daily basis and we, as nurses need to adapt and change in order to provide our patients with the ultimate care they deserve. The hospital environment as a whole has changed over the years and is now a business and the patients are our customers. The advances and advantages of nursing informatics in my opinion will deliver safe and superior quality care for our customers in the health care industry. In 2008 a landmark report from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, "Nursing Time and Motion Study" it was revealed through a 36 hospital study, how important the workflow optimization is in the nursing field. I found this to be a very eye opening report as it revealed that less than 20% of a nurses' time is spent on patient care activities and only 7 % of the nurse's...

...CASE: SM-136 DATE: 10/24/04 BETTER MEDICINE THROUGH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION The health care industry in the United States was troubled. Most of the world’s state-of-the-art health care research occurred in U.S. university and corporate laboratories. Similarly, most of the best centers in the world for delivery of health care were located in the U.S. However, the costs of health care in the United States were exploding and overall quality, along many dimensions, was not increasing. For U.S. consumers it was the best of times and the worst of times—health care services were often terrific if judged by the ability of individual physicians to do more for patients and yet, as judged on almost any broad parameter such as life expectancy or infant mortality, the United States was at best average compared to other developed countries. In most developed countries, spending on health care grew dramatically over the past several years. This increase in spending, combined with lower overall economic growth, pushed up the share of health care expenditure as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) of OECD countries from an average 7.8 percent in 1997 to 8.5 percent in 2002. By comparison, the share of GDP spent on health care remained almost unchanged from 1992 to 1997 (Exhibit 1). In the United States, health care expenditure grew 2.3 times faster than GDP, rising from 13 percent in 1997 to 14.6 percent in 2002. Spending was $5,267 per capita in 2002, almost 140 percent...
