Part 1

My post

Hello class and Professor,

The advent of the technological era has been linked to improved patient outcomes. Most of the technologies in place are patient-centered and are aimed at improving the quality of care and service delivery. At the facility I work for, there are several technologies in place. The most recent is the point of care technology. As much as this technology is in its initial stages of implementation, the benefits have had profound effects on the operations of nursing. This technology allows nurses to access patient data such as X-rays and medication directly from the bedside. This is achieved through linked computers placed at the bedside of patients to ensure that their records can easily be accessed (Adam, 2017).

Considering that the facility has not yet adopted electronic health records, the point of care technology comes with great significance to the hospital. Through the technology, time is saved which would have otherwise been used to access the documents physically. This also allows for easier update of the patient information ensuring that they stay up to date. Point of care technology also ensures that nursing practice focuses on patient-centered care (Adam, 2017). This means that the patient is engaged in making decisions, follow-ups, and education to better their health.

The facility should, however, consider the importance of implementing electronic health records to complement the point of care technology. With electronic records coupled with this technology, nurses will have diverse alert systems such as mobile phones and tablets to ensure that they can access patient data away from the bedside.

Professor Comments and question

It is really interesting that your organization has not implemented the electronic health record (EHR). The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009 provided $35 billion dollars for organizations to implement electronic health records. The incentive did not cover the entire costs of implementation to organizations, but are mandatory to meet the requirements for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System, or MIPS which will start in 2019. Do you think the organization will change to the EHR in the near future?

Part 3/another students comments and question

I found your topic very interesting. Prior to working on the PCU unit at a hospital, my last employer was just in the process of implementing EMR. They were actually using paper charts. It is interesting that some health care organizations are behind when it comes to information technology. Do you think that this could be due to cost? I think cost was the major reason as to why my prior employer was slow to using EMR. 

Based on the required topic study materials, write a reflection about worldview and respond to following:

1. In 250-300 words, explain the Christian perspective of the nature of spirituality and ethics in contrast to the perspective of postmodern relativism within health care.
2. In 250-300 words, explain what scientism is and describe two of the main arguments against it.
3. In 750-1,000 words, answer each of the worldview questions according to your own personal perspective and worldview:
   1. What is ultimate reality?
   2. What is the nature of the universe?
   3. What is a human being?
   4. What is knowledge?
   5. What is your basis of ethics?
   6. What is the purpose of your existence?

Remember to support your reflection with the topic study materials.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

Discussion Question:

Discuss your personal self-assessment findings. Include the following: perceived barriers to achieving the national recommended goals for physical activity as well as strategies for maintenance of already achieved goals or for future achievement of yet to be reached goals and responses to self-reflection questions in module description above. Reflect on a physical activity you have always wished to engage in but have never have. What creative strategies can you implement to remove the barriers so that you can now do so?

Your initial posting should be at least 400 words in length and utilize at least one scholarly source other than the textbook. 

hi dear,

 can help me to finish this assignment with good quality and be on time please?

 I just need to response to the 2 Discussions, and about 50 words for each responses.

1)Boston REACH Coalition video

The Boston REACH Coalition video reveals some very important coalition concepts. Among them is the idea of people coming together. In the video members of the African American community have decided to come together (Dailymotion, 2019). They have noted the health disparities in their communities and have decided to pool their resources together. Another coalition concept evident in the video is a common goal. All the members of the coalition in the video would like a situation where members of the African American community in Boston have the same health outcomes as the Caucasian members of the society.

The health disparities mentioned in the video can be attributed to the social environment in which people live. Members of the African American community live in areas which are not rich in resources. This means that they have fewer opportunities to engage in healthier habits compared to members of the Caucasian community who live in resource rich neighborhoods. This has led to African Americans having disproportionately poorer health outcomes. Boston REACH can improve this by advocating for an increase in the necessary health related resources in black communities such as quality health facilities and markets where fresh groceries are sold(Altman, 2014).Testimony to the Labor Health and Human Services Video,Dr. Randy Pausch displayed several advocacy concepts. Among them was creating an emotional connection. He told his story about pancreatic cancer in a manner that appealed to the emotions of all the listeners (Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, 2008). Another concept was the sharing of all the relevant knowledge. He shared all the knowledge that he felt was relevant on the topic such as the lack of progress in the search for better treatment methods for pancreatic cancer and the lack of funding for research to this effect.Voluntary policies, local ordinances state law and federal law can affect health outcomes in target populations. They can determine the funding that is dedicated to a given health factor in the target population. This in turn determines the number of people willing to work on the given health issue facing the target population. In essence system factors help to determine which health factors receive the most attention in terms of funding (Loue, Lloyd, 2017).

2)  After watching the building healthier community’s video with the Boston reach coalition I took away two main concepts that I saw were reinforced in their community. First, the Boston reach coalition creates a place of comfort by being able to provide their community to come to meetings and feel like their voices are heard and to learn about keeping each other healthy by collaborating with doctors and to meet people like themselves. Second, is the changing of policies to create health equality. The coalition isn’t just focused on people’s everyday behavior but on the community health outlook and how to make those changes on a government level. That leads me to the health disparities, not having the same healthy resources for the African American community when comparing to the white communities in Boston has led to health disparities with misinformation about health and health food choices to give a few examples.  Watching the testimony that Dr. Randy Paush gave to the Labor Health and Human Services board was very interesting and informative. He really wanted lawmakers to hear how important it is to get funding for research on pancreatic cancer. He explained that a lot of patients with pancreatic cancer don’t live very long so it was important to him to get in front of them and explain how truly terrible pancreatic is for patients. He gave a lecture to students regarding pancreatic cancer and it was recorded and put on YouTube that had 6 million views before he gave his testimony to lawmakers in DC. He said in his statement that he was an accidental celebrity and he used his platform to spread the word on how lightly funded pancreatic cancer research is. He repeatedly said in his statement on if young, ambitious researchers had funding to research pancreatic cancer then the future could be bright for patients that get diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and if it didn’t get proper funding then he wouldn’t have much hope for those patients. Government policies are extremely important to cases like this. Breast cancer has come a long way from just twenty years ago and it has everything to do with researchers getting that funding in order to calm, cure or even pause a disease.   

Thanks,
