How Technology Is The Future State Of Health Information Management

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

The potential for growth in the field of Health Information Management (HIM) is undeniable. With the diversification of the HIM profession, the implementation of new technology, and with an ever growing population, the HIM profession will undoubtedly continue to grow. The HIM professional is experiencing an expanded role in the development of standards on both the national and international levels (AHIMA, 2014). A key component of the HIM profession is the acquisition of new technology. As the current infrastructure of the hospital ages and becomes obsolete, HIM professionals must actively seek technology which is compatible with their organization’s current equipment but also able to support future equipment.

Through Frederick Douglass’s, Sam Houston’s, and my own life, being fearless, determined, and dependable has helped us be great leaders. In all great leaders, character plays an important part, for it defines the way they will interact with people and situations. Leaders tend to have strong traits, courage and ambition, for example.

Aman and Mr. Daniels leverage time each week to sit down and reflect on the experience. During this time, I have learned a remarkable amount of information about who I am as a leader. Success in life is important, therefore, one must continually be honest with themselves. Even though, there are a number of tools one can assess to gauge their growth. Self-reflecting is a vital tool improvement Therefore, when reflecting I found a few areas of focus. The chart below indicates the qualities that I possess as a leader. Granted that these qualities tend to fall in the category as both a strength and a weakness. The highlighted qualities are the areas that I will be focusing on this

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.

A current situation that I face in my current practice is adjusting to technological advancements that are currently taking place within the organization. Personally, I see adapting Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Computerized Physician Order Entry System as an excellent change, and I recognize all of the benefits and advantages of adopting these systems in my current place of employment. In PRN work status at a very small

Advances in modern technology surrounds us in our day to day lives, allowing conveniences and efficiency at our fingertips. Great strides have been made over the years with technology, and the healthcare industry along with many other industries have adopted this new way of functioning; electronically. The effects of technology have come to the forefront in where our government has acknowledged the benefits and opportunities. “The promise of Health Information Technology for improving quality and safety of health care while reducing costs has caught the eye of policy makers and other leaders in health care” (Hersh, 2006). It deeply affects how we connect, interact, and communicate internally and externally, but also gives us a sense of control on how we engage ourselves to the innovative software and systems.

I firmly believe that the people i've surrounded myself with have helped me become the person I am today. I think that they have helped me become a leader in my own right and have pushed me to achieve reach my full potential. The passion that I have has forced me to be the leader i am in the sense that i push for the goals I know are reachable and it has also allowed me to be the leader that compromises when it comes to the people I work with. I’m adaptable, positive, and i maximize where and when I

“People of character do the right thing even if no one else does, not because they think it will change the world but because they refuse to be changed by the world.” – Michael Josephson Living out the Six Pillars of Character requires integrity. Developing character and integrity, now as young adults, will contribute to who we become as we enter into the “real world.” One of the greatest tests of character is being in a leadership position. Leaders rely on all Six Pillars to be a role model. This past year, I was president of my 4-H Club. 4-H is a hands-on learning program that teaches responsibility and hard work. In my club, we work with livestock animals. As president, I worked with and led members of a wide variety of ages from nine to eighteen years old.

I have been working in the health care administration field for over 4 years. Initially, my intention was to only be in this field for a short amount of time. However, I soon realized that I had entered what would turn into my career. I learned the importance of Health Information Management during my previous job as a Business Manager for a small outpatient pediatric rehabilitation clinic. I was responsible for processing the small clinics medical billing, and when the company began to expand I led the company’s electronic medical record implementation. This transition from paper records to an electronic medical record program emphasized the impact that Health Information Management is transforming and will continue to transform the healthcare

During the last six weeks, I have learned a lot about the true meaning of a good leader. The discussions have helped me identify what my strengths are and what are the areas that I need to improve on. Although, I have been in management roles, I would not identify myself yet as a leader. I am a very result driven individual which is strength of mine, but that can also lead me to be desensitized to other’s emotions or challenges they might be facing. Throughout the course, I have also come to realize that I have limited self-awareness. On the contrary, one of my strengths is my social awareness. I have the ability to go into social or networking events and pick up on emotions, or facial expressing to understand the overall mood of that environment. To be socially aware is particularly beneficial because, I can find common ground with anyone I meet to initiate conversation. Therefore, when I see that person again, I can make those personal connections. Another one of my strengths is the ability to look at a current process and streamline it to a leaner, more effective and efficient way. During the last several years I have been hired to be the visionary of new divisions and to implement processes that would support the company’s vision and mission while still driving results. My values are what contribute to the success I have been able to achieve over the years, however. My resilience and work ethic towards my job shows through in the

“It is unequivocally clear that leaders are not like other people” (Kirkpatrick and Locke, 1991, as cited in Northouse, P. G., 2016, p.22). I have always thought that I was not like other people; I see the world through a different lens. This difference, which sets me apart from my peers, has sometimes restrained my progress; however, after studying my differences and seeing them as strengths, I can now focus on these strengths that make me a unique, passionate, progressive leader. In reflecting on my leadership skills, I will analyze the results of the leadership questionnaires, as presented in Peter Northouse’s book, Leadership:Theory and practice (7th ed.), connect those result strengths with the

After watching the video my first expression was that look how technology is finally taking over and the heath care providers will deeply depend on it, and will be lazy as ever. Many of the technology tools are available for the health care professionals such as tablet, mobile devices, iPad, and computer to used to make their lives and their patients' life easier, but relying on technology too much to take care of everything is just wrong as technologies cannot fully be trusted. They can lose, might forget the password, might not have internet connections, or even got into the wrong hands.The care givers, the staff, and the community health care workers around the world need to understand the full needs and goals of the patients that they are serving. And yet, in this busy world we are living, there are countless of situations where what is really expected and matters to patients and their family members is not fully understood or addressed. When a patient is admitted to hospital, the patient and the family members expecting a nurse to count the right amount of medication to give them not a device. It is no secret that the health care professionals and the health industry are somewhat, now is in love with technologies.

While advancements in technology have positively impacted the nursing field, it has also created huge concerns with patient privacy and sharing of protected health information leading to detrimental effects to patients and their families. Indeed, technology is changing the face of healthcare with positive innovations to reduce medication errors and documentation errors. However, technology at our fingertips has created immense concerns with sharing of protected health information of patients via social media, email and other means of communication via technology. This paper addresses why I feel the advancement of technology has numerous deficits that need more research and implementation of new laws and policies to safeguard the

Information and communication technology has been adopted and implemented within various sectors of the economy. This is attributed to the benefits of technology in facilitating organizational activities and processes and its use in meeting the changes which characterize the modern society. The health sector is one of the industries which have significantly implemented technology. The health sector’s technological applications have been achieved within health information systems. The implementation of technology in this sector has resulted into both positive and negative implications on health
