A physical therapist receives a phone call from a woman demanding to know when her daughter-in-law’s next appointment is. The therapist tells the woman that she cannot disclose any information, and the woman becomes very angry and abusive, threatening to make a complaint. After the phone call, the therapist logs into the electronic medical record system to make a note about the conversation. However, since the two women share the same last name, the therapist accidentally accesses the woman’s record instead of the daughter-in-law’s record. The therapist realizes the mistake, but not before spotting that the woman suffers from a serious mental health disorder, which might explain her behavior on the phone. The therapist mentions to her supervisor the possibility of a complaint being brought and also mentions that the woman has a history of mental health problems. Do you feel that there has been a breach of confidentiality/HIPPA? Why or why not? How should the supervisor handle this situation? Should the patient be notified?

This webpage offers a series short videos on patient confidentiality.

Topic: Genetic Counseling

With the increase in knowledge around genetic issues, it is important that all health care providers are prepared to have thorough genetic-based discussions now with their patients. In this assignment, you will synthesize your knowledge into a client case with a real or potential genetic health-related illness.

General Guidelines:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

· Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. 

· This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.

· Use the Surgeon General’s Family History Tool at (http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory/portrait/index.html) to complete this assignment.

Directions:

Write a 1,000-1,250 word paper addressing a client case that might benefit from the process of genetic counseling.

Describe the reason for the genetic counseling based on the findings from your completion of the history tool.

Discuss the possible reactions the patient may have to your counseling and how to avoid negative reactions.

Imagine this assignment as if you are giving this counseling to a patient. Discuss the following:

1. Health.

2. Prevention

3. Screening

4. Diagnostics

6. Selection of treatment

7. Monitoring of treatment effectiveness

Portfolio Practice Hours:

Practice immersion assignments are based on your current course objectives, and are intended to be application-based learning using your real-world practice setting. 

You are required to complete your assignment using real-world application. Real-world application requires the use of evidence-based data, contemporary theories, and concepts presented in the course. The culmination of your assignment must present a viable application in a current practice setting. 

  

Healthcare cost is a major concern in public and private healthcare facilities since it consumes huge sums of money from the government. In order to help in the reduction of the healthcare cost, it is important for healthcare facilities to look into alternative approaches or strategic approaches that can help in the reduction of healthcare expenditure. Technology is playing an important role in the reduction the healthcare costs. The training programs needed for the technology required to deal with issues related to healthcare cost is to automate administrative tasks for the purposes of ensuring that there is a more efficient use of the doctor’s time. 

Healthcare workers need to be trained on the process of digitizing the repetitive tasks to help in cutting down the number of hours being taken by the physician in treating the patients. Usually, the administrative expenditure is accounting to more than a quarter of the total sum of healthcare facility expenditure in the United States. This value is higher than any other first world nations. Physicians are taking less than 27 percent of the time in treating patients and a major percentage of this time is taken on administrative responsibilities. 

Therefore, in order to achieve these tasks for the purposes of reducing healthcare costs, healthcare providers need to be trained. The training program is also specifically focusing on artificial intelligence and the basic software to help in equipping these employees with the knowledge required for the limiting and automating physician interaction with the electronic health records. The training program also includes teaching employees more the physicians and nurses on the method of using software to import test results and make complete paperwork instead of performing manual entrance of tests outcome or simply filling out the intake forms. 

The receptionists are also supposed to be trained on the automated roles so that they are in a position of assisting on the general administrative responsibilities like appointment bookings and the reminders through the digitalized procedure. Making of appointment and reminders are some of the common administrative duties which can be automated to ease the burden faced by the clinical administrative staffs and the physicians. It can also help in reducing the burnout and allowing the shifting of paperwork to patients thus reducing medication errors which also cost a lot to the healthcare organizations. It also helps in reducing the number of administrators being hired to perform all these responsibilities which involves paperwork. 

For the purposes of ensuring the continuity of the program, the newly recruited staffs will have to pass through three-month training on areas related to the process of digitizing the repetitive tasks and training on artificial intelligence and the basic software. The programs will continuously be carried out twice every year to help in reminding and keeping employees well informed regarding these tasks. 

Can you please put this in a power point slides, Thank you.
