The result obtained was very high. Analysis Blood glucose is essential part of diabetic management and in order to provide appropriate care and the treatment to be efficient , the blood glucose measurement needs to be accurate at all times as it is easy to fail due to infection control namely hands hygiene and wearing gloves. Also the use of single-use lancet is crucial to prevent blood borne viruses (CDC 2012). The reusable device is safe to use only for a single person în their own environment.

When teaching the patient, timing is crucial. I plan about 30 minutes for this teaching lesson because it allows more time for patient to learn new the information. First, I will demonstrate how the machine works and how to apply blood on the test strip while I maintained aseptic technique. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) by persons with diabetes is an integral part of intensive glycemic treatment and is widely believed to improve the control of blood glucose levels and health outcomes. For some meter machine, the accuracy can be affected by interfering substances (medication), temperature, hematocrit level, and user technique. In addition, the accuracy of blood glucose meters

The health care sector is impacted by numerous changes and challenges, such as increasing need for health care provision, changing demands from patients or rapidly evolving technologies. In the context of evolving technologies, the developments occur not only in the actual provision of the medical act, but also at the level of the complementary operations, such as health care information management.

Going back hundreds of years, we can trace the history of health care. Although it has evolved over the years, it all has a common goal; to heal those who are ill. Technology is one of the major evolutions and now plays a big role in the health care system. It helps patients to be more involved with their healthcare. They can make appointments, follow up on test results, and contact their doctors. Back then, they didn’t even have all the medicine we have now, let alone the technology. We can only imagine what is in store for the future.

Medical technology encompasses a wide range of healthcare products and is used to diagnose, monitor, and treat diseases or medical conditions that affect humans. This may included but not limited too, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and medical equipment. Such technologies are intended to improve the quality of healthcare delivered through earlier diagnosis, less invasive treatment options and reductions in hospital stays and rehabilitation times. Recent advances in medical technology have also focused on cost reduction. Medical technology may include medical devices, information technology, biotech, and healthcare services. The impacts of medical technology may involve social and ethical issues. For example physicians may seek objective information from technology rather than listening to subjective patient reports. A major contributor of healthcare expenditure in America is the advancement of medical technology. According to several studies it is shown that there is a correlation between the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) and money allocated to healthcare. One of the leading theories is that medical technology is growing faster than expected.

What an exciting time to become part of the health care industry! Medical research makes new discoveries to improve the quality of patient care and save lives on a daily basis. Health care reform is gaining momentum, revolutionizing the industry and requiring many administrative changes, such as the creation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Rules and standards evolved from this act provide a way to ensure your protected health information remains confidential. In this digital age, it is particularly relevant. The digital evolution impacts many areas. Digital TVs, computers, smart phones and iPods have totally changed the way we do business and enjoy entertainment. In the medical industry, the

The health care industry is the fastest growing field. As the years go by, more and more discoveries will be made. This paper will discuss the changes from the past 10 years, what I believe will be the biggest change in the next 10 years, my role in the industry, adapting my skills to grow with the change, my perception towards the changes, technologies role, and financial and economical issues.

There is a constant change and upgrade in technology that is being used not only in the Healthcare setting but in everything we have and everywhere we go. Since healthcare is a big business, the healthcare fraud and abuse is becoming a national issue. We should be aware of it in order to avoid such abuses and fraud.

With the healthcare world evolving the need for traditional provider-patient relationships is changing toward a more complex system. That would allow caregivers and their patients to have a chance to become an active part of the healthcare path. Along with the continuous chance of healthcare business models the way technology is seen is most healthcare systems. The technology is visible and yet seem

The health care industry is one of the most dynamic and delicate industries in the U.S. having experienced healthy and substantial changes for the last thirty years most of which have aimed to improve health care management and services delivery to the patients. The changes have enabled the integration of technology into the industry such as in the area of informatics, science and research and payment services and clinical treatments. The health care sector has introduced various changes to address disease and health care management such as the Modernization Act of 2003, the Patient Protection Act and Affordable Act, which aim at improving health provision and most

In observation, (Fahnestock, McComb, & Deshmukh, 2013) stated "Information technologies are transforming the way healthcare is delivered. Innovations such as computer-based patient records, hospital information systems, computer-based decision support tools, community health information networks and new ways of distributing health information.” (p.3.2). In the sector of delivering healthcare using technology, has made it easier for healthcare professionals to access medical records, digitization of prescriptions and view test results. With the use of high-performance devices being used in the hospital, helps to make the jobs of healthcare professionals a little easier. As well as relieve anxiety from anxious patients that may be awaiting lab results to come back. Therefore, IT devices and services has been and continues to be a tremendous help and game changer for the healthcare system. However, there is still a lot of work to be done to help shape and reform the healthcare

Common ways used to asses’ diabetes is through blood glucose meters. The blood glucose meter is a small device that pricks your finger in order to draw your blood and analyzes the glucose present in the blood (Guell 2012). This will allow individuals to asses whether they are diabetic or not. Furthermore, doctors recommend people regulate their diets and weight and engage in physical activity in order to prevent diabetes from

We directly took corrective actions to overcome the causes. At first, we believed the problem was due to components of the device malfunctioning in the field. Our investigation revealed a subcomponent in our microprocessor caused inaccurate readings if being used in conjunction with our newly designed capillary action test strip (CAP action strip). This strip has better blood glucose level reading in our device than the older generation strip. We have solved this subcomponent problem and keep the benefits of CAP action strip can be utilized by our customers as our commitment to always give the best quality products. Therefore, we have decided to give free replacement of our Gluco Gauge device to all customers who bought our devices and experienced high inaccuracy rate of blood glucose readings. The new devices will be sent to our customers’ addresses after they send the old devices to the stores where they bought it. The more detailed information will be given separately along with this press

The implementation of technology in this sector has resulted into both positive and negative implications on health

Technology has been advancing every day, which has tremendous effects on the lifestyle of people. People are dependent on technology, and as a lifestyle of people change, a demand of advance technology grows. Technological advancement has both positive and negative effects, for instance, benefits of technological advancement are time saving, increases the production, simplifies the communication, improved the health care and education and others. On the other hand, technology has decreased the human interaction, people are lazy and dependent due to technology, which has decreased the innovation and increases the health risks such as weight gain and obesity-related health issues. This paper will describe regarding the historical perspectives of U.S health care delivery system. The paper will contrast and describe the two technological advances and their impact on a health care delivery system. In addition, a paper will explain regarding the author and public opinion on technological advances.
