Introduction The healthcare system in Kuwait is known to be one of the best in the region. The Al Amiri hospital in Kuwait is particularly well known for its efficient MRI department that has proved to be of great benefit for the local people of Kuwait. It should be noted here that this hospital did not always have such an efficient system of providing diagnostic imaging modalities, but over the years many strategic changes were made in the department to make it one of the most successful ones in the region. The kind of healthcare facilities that are provided by the hospitals in Kuwait in general and Al Amiri hospital in particular are comparable to those that are provided to the patients in the UK or USA. It has only been possible because these hospitals have imported state of the art machinery and equipment that is required for MRI and other radiological imaging. Moreover, doctors from all over the world including the Europe, USA, UK, India and Middle East have flown in to Kuwait and have been working here for years to make the healthcare system a successful one. MRI is not an uncommon procedure these days, but what makes this department of the Al Amiri hospital so efficient and beneficial for the doctor-patient relationship is the fact that it has been well integrated with the other systems of the hospital. This implies that the hospital administration has developed an IT system through which all the departments have been integrated. Therefore, the surgeons, physicians
In the medical field there have been a lot of technological advances and making health records electronic is one of them. The days of having a paper health record are almost obsolete. An electronic health record keeps a patient’s medical information and history on a computer which is accessible to more people in less time. I will explain how the continuity, communication, coordination and accountability of the electronic health record can help the medical office. I will explain what can be included in the electronic health record. As an advocate of the electronic health record I will also explain some disadvantages to the electronic system.
The use of technology in HIM department works out well and effectively. Each patient who is new is assigned a unique medical record number and it always remains the same for the patient each time he/she want to get health care from this health care system. Another system
Patients are very happy with the implementation of clinical information system (CIS) in their healthcare. They are the one who have benefitted the most when it comes to the implementation of CIS. This paper will discuss some of the reasons why they are happy and the benefits that they are reaping with the implementation of CIS.
The IOM Report has proven to be very helpful for creating disciple and progress in the field of medicine with its outlined recommendation for attaining the best quality of health care system. Rapid change that occurs every now and then affects the health care delivery system of the nation that has affected the overall ability of commuting or translating knowledge into the practice adopting the new improved technology properly and safely. To change this US is taking every positive step and are provided with appropriate training to work as required. Here we will provide for example, that provide evidence of progress in the medical health care system in the 21st century, from personal experience as well as from the references provided in the report.
The implementation of correct systems required a team including expert leader’s approach. Effective communications between leaders of Doctor’s Medical Center, end users, the vendors, and the department staff is important when collecting data. For data transfer, authority need to assure that the new system communicate with the existing system. The administrative leaders guide the project activities, data protocol collection, clearly understand roles and responsibilities, and set up policy and procedure. Leader guide the staff to pursue the desire to achieve the goal. In
Individuals wanting to operate their own diagnostic imaging center, using Qunite MRI as a consultant to develop and carry out the necessary steps to establish the clinic: they want freedom from the hassles establishing the business and are
Healthcare can be known for a complex industry. Every day is a new day facing complicated clinical administrative transactions with electronic medical records and safety? Health Information technology is suppose to realize errors using electronic medical records. Leaders must understand the complexity and safety issues in order to help mandate electronic medical records with design, development, implement and use. In the last decade, this article has informed executives, clinicians, and technology. Their main focus was on these three areas computerized physicians order entry. Their main focus was to work all three areas computer physician order entry, computer decision support system,
The analysis is going to involve a scrutiny of the Natividad Medical Center's Hospital Computer Information Systems (HCIS) network and its hospital-grade systems infrastructure and technology components. The analysis is going to be carried out in line with the requirements of Patient Safety and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) Acts, the Joint Commission (TJC) as well as other national and international regulatory bodies. All elements of information assurance and security are to be ascertained. In this regard, information availability, confidentiality, integrity and security are our primary concerns (Dennis,2005).As indicated earlier, the hospital industry is governed by tough laws and
The MRI was one that had taken five hours to use once, now it only takes five minutes to two hours. It has made surgeries easier to
Decisions will need to be made as to which hardware configuration is going to be used as well as which network communication, where the centralized location of the facility will be and what software will support the network. Policies will need to be developed to ensure the safe operation throughout the organization. One such policy is data standardization. In data standardization, data is presented in the standard way, such as dates. All systems working in the organization would share the same data, all via dates. Data compatibility is extremely important and some National standards organizations are working on uniform ways to represent all health care-related data. Medicare/Medicaid standards continue to dominate in this arena to date. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) have established mandatory guidelines regarding electronic data and have created a standard that all organizations must follow. The uniformity of hardware and software is also extremely important. There must be a compatibility and ease of maintenance throughout the system. There would need to be ongoing reviews to control inappropriate use, such as people installing copied software. Another component of IM/IT governance would be to set IT project priorities and oversee investments. This remains a vital role in the success of the IM/IT operations, so it is important the IM/IT staff are trained and have the
The strengths are associated to its mode of operations; working within its goals and objectives. One of the Hospital main goals is to maintain high standards of quality and ensure it can provide cost effective services that everyone can afford. Cost effective services ensures that low income households have easy access to good medical health (Bowling, 2013). Patient focus care is a major priority as it has worked well in the past for the hospital. The hospital is located in an urban center that is quite busy. This ensures easy accessibility. The hospital has a very hard working and friendly staff that alternate effectively to ensure that the hospital is functioning 24/7. This ensures that anyone can access medical care any time. Electronic Health care ensures easy tracking of patient health data. A strong informal communication channel among hospital department ensures easy flow of communication. Such conditions have led to a proactive environment with good and elaborate management style (Kerr & Hiltz, 2013). Considerable strengths are likely to make the Hospital the most preferred and sought medical care institution in the
Patient Care is a very broad and widely talked about topic in the health care field. There are things concerning today 's medical imaging technologists, mainly the radiographic technologist that will be touched upon throughout this
The first strength of Savanah Hospital is that it has a group of specialists who are leading national research programs to advance the healthcare. Medical imaging at the Savanah Hospital offers one of the most advanced diagnostic imaging in the region. The radiology department is equipped with the innovative technologies and specialized clinical expertise to facilitate the patient's diagnosis and prognosis.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or commonly known as MRI, is a technique used in medicine for producing images of tissues inside the body. It is an important diagnostic tool because it enables physicians to identify abnormal tissue without opening the body through surgery. MRI lets physicians see through bones and organs. MRI does not expose the patient to radiation, unlike tests that use X-rays. MRI provides an unparallel view inside the human body. It is the method of choice for the
every-where, in every second. Now a day’s information technology became an important tool in the medical place, such as, hospital, clinic, medical lab, etc. The reason that I choose this article because it shows how information system explore the implementation of care from hospital providers to patients and community providers by involving in coordination and continuity of post- hospitals care transitions. These shows the high-risk interorganizational collaborations in the hospitals. The purpose of this paper to demonstrate health information technology (HIT) transfer the interorganizational knowledge in the information systems literature during care transition is absent. This helps to understand the collaborations of high risk. The reason to publish the article is to transfer multilateral knowledge transfers, accommodation of fluctuating absorptive capacity, interorganizational knowledge transfer, and reconciliation of knowledge and goal conflicts by using IS design, health
