In the Code of Ethics for Nurses provision 4 states “The nurse has authority, accountability, and responsibility for nursing practice; makes decisions; and takes action consistent with the obligation to promote health and to provide optimal care.” This was not done, there was no regard for human life. The patients in the hospital were treated as a burden. A meeting was held where the doctors agreed that

While many people say that cell phones are useful, their flaws outweigh their benefits. For example, people may think that using their cell phone while driving a car or train is normal, but what they do not know that it causes deaths, “25 people died and 130 were injured in a train crash near Los Angles. The cause,apparently, was a cell phone” (Saletan). Cell phones cause deaths in trains, just like how it causes deaths in cars. This shows why cell phones are not good as some people may think they are. Nowadays people say that cell phones are a way to communicate, but in reality they are decreasing the interaction between people by using text messages instead of face-to-face conversations. Today, face-to-face conversations are needed instead of text messages, so the interaction between people increases. Cell phones should not be overused and

As consumers utilize smartphones, tablets, and other devices for other functions like social media and email, they are starting to look at these features to assist them with their healthcare. Mobile body area network devices will be a growing trend in the coming years as a way to get patients engaged in their healthcare and also to give providers routine updates on the status of patients with chronic conditions. As DeGaspari (2014) indicates, these devices can lead to improved functionality for other devices used in hospitals, such as sensors for monitoring patients that might get up and wander or be a fall risk. Telemedicine will continue to grow as payers, providers, and patients all start to realize the mutual benefits that can be

Unfortunately, along with the good must come the bad. For every positive aspect of smartphones and social media in healthcare related settings, there is an equally negative aspect. One pitfall of smartphones in healthcare is directly related to one of the positive aspects of smartphones: the availability of medical

One of the priority tasks of the Literary High Street project is to allow users access the website primarily with mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. Except of developing a unique mobile experience for users, it drives me to start exploring the influences of mobile technology to human’s lives as it is being so widely used in modern society. As we all know, the world is being connected much closer because of the development of information technology. The evolution of the information technology shows how human’s lives are being changes. Speaking of the advanced information technology today, mobile technology cannot be ignored. According

Mobile Health (mhealth) is the practice of mobile information and communication technologies for furthering health (Moyle, 2015). Mhealth can be used for a variety of reasons, comprising of health promotion and disease prevention, health care delivery, training and supervision, electronic payments, and information systems. It is believed that mhealth has the ability to change the standard on when, where, how and by whom health services are delivered and accessed. It is freeing healthcare devices of wires and cords and allowing clinicians and patients likewise to check on healthcare processes on the go. It is estimated that the mhealth market will attain $20.7 billion by 2019, suggesting it is only becoming bigger and more widespread. It does

The use of personal devices can benefit the patient and the way nurses care for them. For example, smartphones, laptop or tablets in healthcare settings has the potential to enhance productivity, lower failure-to-respond to patients on time, and increase information access and communications among other healthcare providers. Equally, the use of these devices can also have a negative impact on our patients. Patient safety with the use of personal devices includes the

In order for technology to be truly interoperable, federal guidelines must be met to ensure the information can easily be accessed by those who need it. A hospital facility would benefit greatly from telecommunication technology that allows physicians to easily place orders and access results on a portable device to facilitate and decide care. According to the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) mobile health (mHealth) capitalizes on the growing trend of smart phones by utilizing software apps which allow physicians to access patient health information (Public Health Institute Center for Connected Health Policy, 2016). The use of mHealth meets guidelines established by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate the software used and classifies it as a medical device; the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) guidelines that establish the need for information to be transmitted from patient monitoring devices to physicians in a reliable and quick fashion; and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) which prevent misinformation regarding the effectiveness of apps and software that impact patient safety (Public Health Institute Center for Connected Health Policy, 2016). The use of smart phones changes how quickly physicians can remain informed of a patient’s disease process and is used by staff to facilitate clinical decision making processes.

Cell phones can easily be used to verbalize imperative information between medical staff, medical facilities, patients, consumers, etc. They make it possible to quickly get in touch with someone else without having to

Along with portable machines, hospitals and doctors’ offices are now introducing mobile phones, tablets, and laptops into the system. These are helpful because doctors, nurses, and patients can bring up their results at any time and any location, granted there is a wireless connection. Mobile devices are great in an emergency setting because it is something that is in someone’s hands

Today people of the world have a new addiction. This new addiction is known as the smartphone. The smartphones of today have so many features that the owners of them can hardly seem to put them down just for a second. These smartphones not only offer some of the same features that a personal computer would, but they also provide a very high level of entertainment. Even with all the capabilities that smartphones offer they still require and great level of understanding and responsibility. The purpose of this paper is to help others understand the direction of smartphone technology, the ways smartphone technology changes society, understand the impact of change and manner in which we live our lives, and how smartphones could potentially create hazardous situations.

However, it is imperative always to outweigh the positives and negative aspects of every implementation influencing patient care which is undoubtedly the cornerstone of safe and effective nursing practice. Therefore, it is worth noting that the electronic communication concept may have a negative connotation substantiated by multifaceted safety concerns. The first drawback from the use of smartphones or computers in the clinical setting is a creation a distraction for a health care provider from the task requiring concentration and undivided attention (Broussard & Broussard, 2013). Nevertheless, on the positive note, the utilization of cell phones improves the communication and collaboration within the team caring for the patient. The second objection to the introduction of smartphones in the medical practice is a creation of interpersonal distance between a provider and a patient by limiting eye contact and having no regard for being in the presence of the person who expects patient-centered approach (Broussard & Broussard, 2013). In like manner, the individual corresponding through a mobile device demands the same personal treatment as the one sitting in the exam room. Therefore, the emerging communication through advanced technology in the eyes of providers might be promoting exceptional and immediate access to patients no matter the place or time it also creates an impersonal relationship between the two while lacking

In modern society, the relationship between globalization and social media and smartphones is involved with the daily life of people around the world. The use of mobile systems dramatically increased in the 20th century. (Mjos, 2012) This essay will explain the differences and similarities of mobile usages and use of social media between British society and that in my home, Thailand. There are various causes to employ electronic devices and social media, some of which were the same and some different. In order to compare these points, we shall outline the meaning of mobile and social media at the beginning, and then describe the use of mobile in the UK and Thailand, before illustrating which ways we use social media. The last is an
