...Informatics Needs Assessment HCS/482 Gina Reiser, RN September 29, 2014 Informatics Needs Essay An informatics needs assessment is a critical step in the selection and implementation of the Electronic Health Record (EHR). The purpose of a needs assessment is to understand the organization and the needs of the organization well enough to boost the positive impact of an EHR while minimizing the negative effects (American Medical Association, n.d.). A readiness assessment can assist in identifying the readiness of an organization to successfully starting an EHR, the readiness for the staff to accept, and productively by using the EHR. The results will help assess what the current state of technology is, what is needed to make a change, what the potential barriers are, the user needs, time-sensitive factors and appropriate steps to take action. The readiness and the needs assessment should involve everyone who will be using the EHR or whose job could be affected by the EHR. This could include personnel such as clerical, and office staff, administration, scheduling, or billing staff, physicians, nurses and computer support staff (Ginsberg, n.d.). A vision for what the EHR means to the organization should be included in the needs assessment. It should also include an assessment of the current processes, the workflow, and data collection, reporting, and billing needs. An assessment should be made of what the Internet capabilities are, the financial abilities, clinical priorities...

...physicians and more specifically hospice doctors, nurses, social workers and counselors. All of whom care for both the patients who must bear the knowledge that they are dying for as much as six months ahead of time and for their families and loved ones who are present throughout the whole process. Unfortunately, this branch of medicine, palliative medicine, is relatively new. Thus it is critical now more than ever that more funding and research are dedicated to its advancement and upkeep. The need for hospice care throughout...

...If we take away our guns, it gives the government too much power, and we do have to right to own guns. However, at some point, no matter what side one supports, they need to take a step back and observe this situation. The average person should not be able to acquire military grade weapons, and extended magazines. “The Second Amendment was written at a time when the most common arms were long rifles that had to be reloaded after every shot. Civilians today have access to folding, detaching, or telescoping stocks that make the guns more easily concealed and carried; silencers to muffle gunshot sounds; flash suppressors to fire in low-light conditions without being blinded by the flash and to conceals the shooter’s location; or grenade launcher attachments.” These weapons are designed for mass killing, something that civilians should not have access to. If we modify laws to prohibit military grade weapons and extended magazines, we could potentially prevent more homicides. As technology has evolved, the original gun laws have become less and less effective during our time. We need to let the laws catch up to our ever advancing technology if we wish to put a stop to unnecessary gun violence. What once were one shot rifles have evolved into fully automatic killing machines, so it only makes sense that our restrictions evolve as...

...but deaths after deaths, after gun control as well. “Evidence shows that civilian gun ownership can be powerful deterrent to crime.” What will we do, continue to have lenient gun control laws? How can we trust? Many citizens believe they are to be trusted. They believe guns should be in their hands rather than the government. “Who is more trustworthy, the government or the people?” David B. Kopel says. It is unfortunate Americans have this set mindset. My next quote talks about citizens feeling the need for guns. Assault rifles… a semi-fully automatically weapons. Weapons like these are sold illegally, weapons like these are used to kill innocent people. Just in a trigger a life can be taken, Your brother, sister, mom, dad or even a friend life can be taken. Listverse.com says “Civilian need for assault rifles”. In any case scenario assault rifle over kills. What about rampage shooters? Shooter like the I-10 shooter that took place right here in our home, Arizona. Killing so many innocent people on their way to work, home or even people traveling out of town. Criminals and or murderers have the mentality of the more dead, the merrier. It is even said on Listervse.com. It also indicates, “Rampage shooters like soft targets” on Listervse.com. A shooting incident in Texas aimed and killed faculty...

...I believe that a dog trainer should not be able to keep their service dog. The dog could be saving lives in the battle field instead of sitting home with its trainer. The dog can’t do anything for the army when its at home.That would also be a waste of money. The dog handler doesn't need the dog back so why should they get the dog back. I feel this way because if all wounded service officers got their dog back hundreds of thousands of military dollars would be wasted. This money spent on training dogs for the military could have been spent on new schools or houses for the homeless.And also why pay for a dog to be military trained if it's not going to be in the military. It is also a waste of the person's time that trained the dog. Also if the military paid for the dog and fo it to be trained why should the wounded service officer get it....

...All these needs begin to put a lot of stress on an individual. As we saw Katrina had all types of medical issues the biggest two being migraines and a type of thyroid disease. These kind of things can get out of hand because you do not make enough to get sick. Meaning doctor visits and insurance many times are out of the picture unless you are in dire need. As for medications it becomes a pick and choose situation. Research has shown that many of our low income families have about the same health as people in third world countries. From what I personally picked up Katrina was a hustler. Even with the help she got she very much knew that if she was going to have to make it completely on her own she would. She did what she had to for her family, even if that meant to sell the puppy. Her personal choices she made when younger I felt were made out of love. Sometimes being young and in love blinds you to real life issues. These...

...Kristen Embry PSY 223 Test 3 1. Puberty is a stage in the lives of both males and females in which their bodies begin to develop from a child to an adult. During puberty both males and females will develop and grow more rapidly than any other time in their lives except for infancy. Everyone goes through puberty, but everyone doesn’t necessarily go through it at the same age or in the same way as someone else. There isn’t just one single event that determines when puberty is beginning. It is a set of events that may happen gradually or very suddenly. Puberty typically begins between the ages of 8 and 14 in girls and between 9 and 15 in boys. However, it is hard to know exactly when puberty has begun in either sex due to unseen hormonal changes that precede physical changes by up to three years, according to our text book on page 303. During puberty, boys will notice several physical changes occurring. These include a major growth spurt, the shoulders becoming broader, and an appearance of body hair under the arms, on the chest, and on the face. They will begin to notice their voices changing from a childlike tone to a deeper, more adult tone as well as begin to have body odor and acne due to hormones being produced at a high rate. The male genitals will undergo some changes as well. As we watched in the video on puberty, the penis will grow longer and wider while the testicles drop into place ready to aide in reproduction later in life. Wet dreams, or nocturnal emissions...

Some are not allowed to do something the other is. You have to show them that they are both equal no matter what their gender is. They have to be treated fair. Some men think women should not be allowed to work in a office because they think it’s a mens’ job. Society has changed but some people just don’t let go of what was and what is. Women should have the same right men do. Women should have the opportunity men do in getting the same job. Men should be able to cry when they are feeling down without nobody telling them something. Everybody should just...

If we let people with felonies and mental illness can own wepons of any kind we can make the country a safer place.

...Imagine a world without guns. There would not be any military, no self-defense, and there would be more crime than ever. Guns in the right hands are harmless. Guns do not kill people, it is the people using them. Everyone is always saying that guns are the reason for the rise in criminal activity in the last few years, but they are wrong. It is all about how the guns are handled. The U.S. Constitution’s second amendment says that we have the right to bear arms. It would be a violation of our rights if they took away everyone’s guns. Many people would try to overthrow the government and there would be more crime and murder than ever before. The answer to lessen crime is not by taking away guns, people commit crimes with various other items. It would just leave innocent, law abiding citizens defenseless against intruders and criminals. Eight out of every ten gun related crimes, the perpetrator’s gun was not legally purchased, or it was stolen from a legal owner. The solution to solving gun crime is not by banning them, it is by not letting criminals have such easy access to them. There should be more background checks and should have background checks annually. If more people got their carrying permit, the more likely people can stop criminals from commit such horrible acts. There are four countries that have gun control laws: Japan, Germany, Australia, and the United Kingdom. It has been proven that their homicide rate is lower, and their crime rate is lower that...

...would not have had happened." This kind of overshadowing occurs much in liberal media for which they have to intertwine politics into such events as a means to promote their own agendas. Mass shootings is still something that needs to be solved and given the right people to think long and hard on solutions to the problems, the problem can't just be solved by a panacea law to end all shootings. Gun control is complicated and requires thorough analysis and planning. Should more gun control laws be enacted? Would it help to solve this problem facing the nation? Given the type of track record gun control laws have had, more of these gun control laws should not be enacted. Gun control laws give way too much reasons for why more of them shouldn't be enacted, reason...

...Question #2: In a short essay, explain the five types of needs associated with a consumer who says she wants a “nice MP3 player.” When a customer enters into a store and states “I want a nice MP3 player”, there are five core needs associated with this statement. While there are strong differences between wants and fundamental needs (i.e. water, shelter, and food), humans often do not differentiate between the two. Wants are shaped by our society. The job of distinguishing between the two done by the marketer is often a difficult one. The first need is the initial stated need, “I want a nice MP3 player.” The need is verbally stated to the salesperson. The second is the real need. The customer wants and MP3 player, which is nice. This most likely means she or he is looking for something not too expensive or flashy, but above the “average” player. The third is the unstated needs. The customer has expectations and needs, which might not be verbally stated, but the sales person is expected to understand. The customer does not want to deal with a poorly-made or non-working product. Fourth, is the delight needs. The delight needs are add on's that don’t necessarily come with every model. Examples of this would be a color screen, ability to make playlists, store photos, or an FM/AM tuner. Last, are the secret needs. The customer wants to be seen by friends as a savvy shopper and someone who has good taste to buy the best MP3 player available. All of these needs should be addressed...
