...The PCP sent the patient for some labs, test, and a referral to a gastroenterology provider. The PCP was supposed to send the test results to the gastroenterology provider for them to review with the patient. The patient arrived for appointment, and upon reviewing their information the patient realized that had not received their test results. The gastroenterology provider was not in the same system, as the PCP. The technology of choice in this scenario would be that of a Patient Portal. This technology allows the patient to access portions of their health record, to include test results, medication list, and even be in contact with their...

...Record Patient Portal Mary Kennedy Grand Canyon University Dr. Riyad Naser HIM-515 Foundation and Concepts of Healthcare Informatics Electronic Health Record Patient Portal The implementation of electronic health record systems is increasing at a rapid rate. The increases are due to the financial incentives offered by the Health Information and Technology for Economics and Clinical Health Act of 2009. Stage one of meaningful use mandates that patients be provided with an electronic copy of their health information at the end of the visit. Stage two of meaningful use requires that the patient has the ability to view their health information online, to download, and/or disseminate information about hospital admissions to their healthcare provider via a patient portal (Goldzweig, 2012). The patient portal goal is to provide information between the patient and provider. Examples of the information exchange are upcoming appointments, medication lists, laboratory results, referral information, and other information as necessary (GCU, 2013). This paper will examine the electronic health record (EHR) patient portal implementation in a small rural Indian Health System in southern Arizona. Currently, the EHR and the resource patient management system (RPMS), where most data’s entered, are fragmented. This fragmentation makes users have to switch between the applications in order to obtain needed information. The fragmentation creates safety issues that put the patient at risk...

...divert all its focus and energy towards them. It was a small company with around 20 personnel, so did not follow all the professional courtesies that one may imagine in an enterprise. A good example may be, that company decisions were announced on the lunch table. This being my first professional project, I got emotionally attached to it at a certain level. I could not see it dying. In a meeting with the CEO, when informed about the halting of the project for a few months, I suggested to launch this product as open web portal till the time we get a potential buyer for it. As launching it would not require much additional investment and resources, since only the interface of application had to be changed according to web portal, he decided to give it a thought. Meanwhile I was shifted to another project. Though I started working on another project, the idea of a web portal was still at the back of my mind. I started working on designing the User Interface for web portal after office hours. Though I am a frequent internet browser, I had very little experience of actually designing a web site myself, so I just picked up some features from popular social networking sites and search engines, integrated them together to represent the functionality of our project. I took some screen shots of what I had created and put together a presentation and showed it to my CEO. After a prolonged...

...Lets take an example of our school Stratford University. Stratford has a very large and effective information system that controls all the student and teacher’s data. The system has many layers on which it performs the specific tasks. The Input Information system at Stratford takes input in various forms. There are departments in school that have access of the specific part of the system and it lets the department to enter the information. Below are some input types: * Initial application entry with basic new student information * Detail information of student with accepted application. * Registration for Quarter * Fees Payment * Registration for Courses * Attendance and Online learning * Personal web portal space for Student All above inputs follow a procedure and a flow. That means you cannot register for courses unless you have been registered for the current or upcoming quarter, and so and so forth. The Process Once the first set of information added into the system, the system generates a unique student ID for the record. Then other departments start entering their information about the student. After the student is enrolled in the quarter, the registrar access the student record using the ID or the name, and once registrar marked the student enrolled, the student can go and register for courses. The system then check if the user has already paid for the selected courses or not, if the fees has not been paid...

...Chapter 15, Business Strategy in Asia, Kulwant Singh, Nitin Pangarkar and Loizos Heracleous, 2004 NOL and APL (A) CASE 15 After several years of dismal results, Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) was widely viewed as a laggard. The national shipping line was one of the worst performers among Singapore’s many government-linked corporations. Perhaps the low point was reached in 1996, when industry publication Containerisation International ranked NOL last in a field of 24 shipping firms on return on assets, and 18th in net profit margins. This was in stark contrast to the performance of other government firms, several of which could claim industry-leading performance, reputation and profitability. This poor performance imposed great pressures on NOL to take drastic action. Possibly in reaction, NOL announced in April 1997 that it was acquiring APL, the leading U.S. shipping line. This would be the largest acquisition ever by a Singapore firm and would catapult the firm into the league of major shipping lines. There were some concerns that NOL’s strategy was risky, as it was acquiring a firm larger than itself for a price some observers judged to be excessive. But NOL’s management was confident that it had found a solution to its problems, and that the acquisition of APL would ensure its future success. The future seemed bright. Introduction NOL AND APL (A) NOL Southeast Asia-Australia routes. Its ship charter business, American Eagle Tankers, focused on chartering ships...

...1. The splenic and portal veins can be demonstrated by the injection of radio-opaque dye into the spleen. This has been done in dogs with exteriorised or subcutaneous spleens, and in humans with enlarged spleens by direct injection. 2. The injected dye leaves the spleen quickly and in large amounts, and demonstrates the sizes of the splenic and portal veins. 3. In the absence of portal obstruction a filling defect is present where the superior mesenteric flow meets the splenic. 4. In the presence of portal obstruction the site of obstruction is indicated. In addition, collateral veins are filled with dye, the portal vein is dilated and a reflux of dye may occur into the superior mesenteric vein. Changes in the direction of blood flow in the portal tributaries may be shown. Any patient who has splenomegaly of unknown origin is a candidate for diagnostic splenic puncture, and theoretically any candidate for diagnostic splenic puncture is a candidate for splenography. The term splenography, used by the authors for convenience, is by no means widely accepted, commonly used synonyms being splenic portography, splenoportography, transabdominal splenic portal venography, and intrasplenic portal venography. A special equipment tray assembled specifically for this procedure contains sterile drapes, sponges, appropriate needles for local anesthesia and splenic puncture, syringes, and a flexible rubber connector. With the patient in place on the radiographic apparatus, a field...

...Individual write-up topic: If you were the CEO of NOL, would you buy APL? Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) is a shipping company established in Singapore since 1967. Thanks to the Asia’s and Singapore’s fast economic growth and to be present in the busiest shipping routes in the world, the company has grown very quick. However since 1990s, NOL has started to suffer due to a slowdown of the regional economic growth, excess capacity in the shipping industry, many competitors on this market and declining shipping rates. In 1996, the company has seen his net profit decreasing by 54% but the results seem to be worse. In order to change this bad situation happening to NOL, the company decided in April 1997 to acquire APL Company, leader in the US shipping line. APL was the oldest and the second largest shipping line in the USA. The company had the largest freight rail services in North America. Despite a smaller fleet than NOL, APL had higher revenue, profits, shipping volumes and the company was good in the innovation part. The acquisition of APL by NOL seems to be profitable for the Singapore shipping Company. But was it the good decision taken by NOL Company to acquire APL Company? If I was the CEO of Neptune Orient Lines Company, I would buy APL Company. Merger and Acquisition strategies had become more and more popular since 1990s. Indeed, using these strategies can help firms to face crisis. That is why NOL decided to use the acquisition strategy in order to overtake the problems...

This analysis will utilize Dr. Ross Pigeau and Carol McCann’s model to evaluate the dimensions relating to Harris’ Competency, Authority and Responsibility (CAR) and to assess the overall balance and effectiveness of Harris’ command. The CAR model was deemed most suitable to dissect pertinent aspects of this complex and controversial commander, allowing for the necessary depth of analysis into his abilities, responsibilities, beliefs, actions and reactions over a specific timeframe. This paper will illustrate that Harris, although highly skilled in many areas and having demonstrated impressive successes at the helm of Bomber Command, had a singular and seemingly intractable approach to war – to obliterate Germany’s war production capacity by area bombing its cities. This inflexible approach inhibited his...
