Implementation of a computer system to replace paper documentation would require the involvement of an interdisciplinary team. This team would be comprised of several members, each with a specific job. The first member selected would be a Clinical Nurse Informaticist. This team member would be charged with giving valuable input on the software needed for nurses to properly care for and chart on their patients. With the knowledge of nursing practice and informatics, this team member would very valuable in bringing the two together in the most efficient way possible. The next team

5. Provide integrated support for a wide range of discrete care activities including decision support, monitoring, electronic prescribing, electronic referrals radiology, laboratory ordering and results display (Electronic Medical Records, 2005).

Thank you for mentioning health care IT system. As you stated, health IT system helps health care providers review patient's vital information, it also assists patients to be more informed with their health. As a patient and health care provider, I like to see my laboratory work-up and tests. The increased awareness will help me work toward a preventive solution. For example, if my cholesterol levels are borderline high, or my glucose is elevated, it will prompt me to find ways to prevent progression to diabetes. Staying on top of your health and keeping an open communication with your primary care physician will promote better outcomes and patient satisfaction.

The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) website was very detailed and laid out. It was also very user friendly when it came to learning or finding information on health information technology. The AHIMA is the most leading association of health information management (HIM) specialists globally. The AHIMA has played a major role in leadership and in finding efficient ways for management of health data and medical records that are required to distribute quality healthcare to the patients. Furthermore, AHIMA is supporters for the HIM profession, aids as a “thought leader” in the global world of HIM. Also, AHIMA is “one of the four cooperating parties responsible for the ICD-10 Coding

What safeguards and decision-making support tools are embedded in patient care technologies and information systems that support safe practice at your facility?

The medical assisting field is growing in a fast rate; in average it is said to grow 31% between 2010 and 2020 (Adams, 2014). The reason for this growth is the continuous change within the medical field. This growth will result in an increase in the number of group practices, clinics, and other facilities that need a high number of support personnel like medical assistants who can perform both administrative and clinical tasks. Administrative tasks may include greeting patients, obtaining basic registration information, office bookkeeping, filing procedures, or billing and coding. As for clinical tasks, that may include preparing patients and the equipment needed before examinations, assisting the physician during visits, phlebotomy, or collecting

With the rapid growth in technology, many healthcare organizations have embraced the use of healthcare information technologies. As such, the information technology department has various staffs that perform fundamental roles in the information technology-related activities. It ranges from activities of customizing a software to implementing and maintaining a network to ensure effective system backups. In addition, these healthcare information technologies bring about other

Health Informatics created two main categories such as clinical and administrative information systems to meet the needs of one or more department within the health care organization. For the clinical information system, it is set to meet the needs in improving patient care. Therefore, the clinical information system (CIS) categories provide nurses information systems (NIS) that support the way nurses documents the care that given to the patients. However, to improve the delivery of nursing care, the healthcare organization must adopt a computer system that can successfully incorporate tools that will benefit nursing. There is two vendors’ software that implies these characteristics for the

Demographic shifts in the global population, greater levels of technological disruption due to the Internet, social media and the en masse adoption of smartphones and tablet PCs are together re-defining the healthcare informatics market. System and informatics theories have emerged as the foundational elements of healthcare informatics supported by the Data, Information. Knowledge (DIK) Model which acts as a taxonomy for these developments (Haugh, 2005). Systems and informatics theories along with the DIK Model form the ontological foundations of healthcare informatics field of research occurring today and will continue to provide a basis for further research (Braganza, 2004). The intent of this analysis is to evaluate the contributions of systems and informatics, the role of the DIK Model, expert systems in nurse care and medicine, and the use of decision aids and decision support systems. All of these elements are critically important to strategic information systems plans healthcare providers put into place to serve patients while giving healthcare professionals the applications, systems and software they need to excel in their roles (Djellal, Gallouj, 2007).

Data for employees who will be attending the onsite health facility will be kept private. All data should be electronically stored using an electronic point of service system. Storing the data safely shows the employee that trust is able to be put into the onsite healthcare facility. Employees must be reminded and reassured that all information is confidential, those helping the employee are actually safe, certified professionals and that the onsite facility cares and takes the concern of the employee seriously.
