In order to achieve interoperability there are basic security standards that must be accounted for to ensure safe and secure exchange. Without adequate safe measures in place, personal health records cannot be safely transmitted electronically. Exchanging private health information electronically between medical partners comes with inherent risk however. Those risks include violation of HIPAA regulations and threats, vulnerabilities and malware that threaten electronic health records (EHR) or mainframe servers.…
Quality of care can be enhanced by communication between physicians through allowing other qualified health providers access to a patient’s medical history rather than having to transfer medical records to another department. Having this right of entry, allows for the provider to give a more in depth assessment of the patient, allowing a quicker diagnosis. In addition, in case of emergency, these records can provide important, life-saving information to emergency care providers. EHRs provide the ability to exchange complete health information about a patient in a short amount of time. Some of the things that an EHR offer is precise up-…

This means that the patient is to receive safe and effective care from the nurse and interdisciplinary health care team, with the goal of obtaining positive patient outcomes. These goals can be partially obtained with the use of the advancements in information technology. Information technology has the potential to increase patient safety, improve continuity of care, and change the way healthcare is delivered (Moreland, Gallagher, Bena, Morrison, & Albert, 2012).…

In my opinon, i would have to agree that using EVMs are a great tool and should be used by all states. I say this only because in the passage it states that 20 percent of people with disabilities are less likely to vote, mostly from having no access there. Also i believe the goverment would have to make sure these EVMs are updated and unhackable. The hacking part may cause a major concern because its been happening so much in politics. If there is a way to put the EVMs on a private Wi-Fi that may be an oppostion.…
Harris Miller, President of the Information Technology Association of America ensures that electronic voting machines are more safe and secure than paper ballots. EVM's are known to help people with disabilities from audio for the hearing impaired and video for people with reduced vision as well as hand held for those who have trouble standing. It's said that 33.7 million people have disabilities and 20% are less likly to vote because there is minium accessibility for them. EVM's provide ballots in various languages opposed to paper ballots which only have four or five of the most used languages mostly because the cost to print the paper ballots in many different languages is costly to the state. Which may cause voters to ask for translation help from poll workers breaching their privacy to vote.…

Firstly, time spent on paper-based tasks is significantly reduced with the implementation of EHRS. When staff members have easy access to the patient's records, they save time that would otherwise be spent searching for paper charts which therefore reduces paperwork. Moreover, EHRs would improve patient safety by keeping the records within a physician's office so the records are more secure. With patients having the ability to access their records ensures that they are in good hands with the physician and feel comfortable sharing their information. Finally, EHRs lead to faster responses to changes in treatment guidelines.…
1. The message I would have received as a hospital administrator from this video would have been: The importance of keeping my organization's information secure from anyone else not permitted to have my knowledge, and more specifically the knowledge of my patient's care as well as their demographic information. It is my responsibility as a hospital administrator to keep my data secure, and whether that means hiring a IT security company or maintaining a high security software is my responsibility in order to stay within HIPPA guidelines. 2.…
