For this assignment please submit a brief (up to 1 page, double-spaced, 12 point TNR font) paper discussing the importance of Health Information Systems in the future of healthcare. Use at least one example from your text or a scholarly article describing how information systems are projected to change the face of healthcare in the next 5-10 years.

Write 14 diary entries spanning a theoretical two-month span of time explaining the importance of care coordination from the perspective of a primary practice care coordinator, and the role of patient centered medical homes (PCMHs) play in the coordination process. Touch on data points, challenges, and opportunities related to care coordination. Remember that even though you diary is written by from the perspective of a primary practice care coordinator, all healthcare perspectives are affected by care coordination work and need to be noted in your diary.

Your provider perspective scenario for your diary entries: You are a primacy care practice provider and you have 10 patients, all of which are chronically ill patients with diabetes, congestive heart failure, and COPD. They are all over the age of 70 and have to navigate a combination of private and Medicare insurance for their primary care physicians, their four specialists, and their medication needs. This particular group of ten has been assigned to you because they have no reliable transportation and no family to support them.

Through your diary entries, illustrate how you will meet the objectives of patients missing no appointments, maintain strict medication adherence for your patients, and avoid all emergency room and inpatient admissions for your patients using health information technology.

I’m working on a health & medical discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

after reading Chapters 13-14, please discuss at least 2 differences between the United States healthcare system vs other countries in regards to adoption of technology (ch 13), and also briefly discuss how you think technology will change the future of healthcare in the United States (ch 14). Total length should be roughly 1 page, double-spaced, with 12 point Times New Roman font

Please write a discussion and respond to this 2 peers’ Discussion Prompts

Discussion: It is often stated that excess mortality is higher in low socioeconomic populations. Visit the Kaiser Family Foundation and read about the reasons behind these disparities (http://kff.org/disparities-policy/issue-brief/disparities-in-health-and-health-care-five-key-questions-and-answers/ (Links to an external site.)). Which factors contribute to this statistic? Are there differences between healthcare “needs” and “wants” in this population? How could you close this gap?

• Respond to at least two (2) of your classmates’ or your instructor’s posts. Your responses should include elements such as follow-up questions, a further exploration of topics from the initial post, or requests for further clarification or explanation on some points made.
• ALL citations and references needs to be APA 7th edition format. THANK YOU!

I Will send the peers responses later, and add more time

Ethical Dilemma Activity

This assignment is designed to prepare students to make ethical decisions when faced with dilemmas in the clinical setting.

• Ethical dilemmas and decision-making require critical thinking and self-analysis.
  • It is necessary to identify your core beliefs and your positions on the ethical issue or dilemma.
  • It is important to discuss in detail both your core beliefs and the origins of your core beliefs with depth and clarity.
• Ethical dilemmas often require ethical analysis when the corrective action is in question.

Key Terms to Understand When Making Ethical Decisions:

Core Beliefs: Those fundamental principles that consciously or unconsciously influence one’s ethical conduct and ethical thinking. Even when unacknowledged, core beliefs shape one’s responses. Core beliefs can reflect one’s environment, religion, culture, or training. A person may or may not choose to act on their core beliefs.

Ethical Perspectives/Concepts: The different theoretical means through which ethical issues are analyzed, such as ethical theories (e.g. utilitarian, natural law, virtue) or ethical concepts (e.g. rights, justice, duty).

Complex Multilayered Context: The sub-parts or situational conditions of a scenario that bring two or more ethical dilemmas (issues) into the mix/problem/context/ for student’s identification.

Cross-relationships among the issues: Obvious or subtle connections between/among the sub-parts or situational conditions of the issues present in a scenario.

Ethical Decision Making Assignment Details 

• Each student will use the worksheet provided to write his/her version of the following ethical decision making steps for the assigned dilemma. The worksheet will be submitted as a file upload in the Canvas Assignment. 
• Each student will post to the discussion board his/her original final part of step c only (Choose and defend the solution with thoughtful reflection and clarity).
• Each student will reply (provide feedback) to at least one other member of the group. The reply to a fellow group member should demonstrate evidence of thoughtful reflection and provide insights, alternative perspectives, or other consideration.
• Identify the ethical concerns relating to the specific issue or issues. Describe the ethical issue in full detail and demonstrate clarity concerning what is to be decided, anddiscuss complex context and cross-relationships present relative to the dilemma.
• Identify your core beliefs and positions on the ethical issue or issues. Discuss/analyze in detail your core belief and origins of the core beliefs.
• Apply alternative ethical perspectives to your own perspective and consider the fullimplications of the application (identify and apply relevant ethical perspectives and concepts to develop alternative solutions and consider the implications of alternate solutions completely).

Choose and defend the solution with thoughtful reflection and clarity.

– Dilemma 1: As a new technologist on an evening shift, you encounter a patient for a chest x-ray who is dirty, appears to have been drinking alcohol, and who is making inappropriate comments and proposals of a sexual nature. The patient has not made any physical contact or gestures and does not appear to be a danger to you. You have a job to do to complete the x-ray, but you are uncomfortable with the situation. 

– Dilemma 2:  As you are performing an abdomen examination on a young adolescent patient who seems quiet and shy, a fellow technologist comes into the room behind the control panel, but within hearing distance of the patient, and begins to discuss a personal relationship problem at home.Your coworker seems upset and emotional.  Some of the discussion seems inappropriate for a young adolescent to hear.  You are concerned about your coworker but you are distracted from the care of your patient and concerned about the exposure of the young patient to an inappropriate conversation.

– Dilemma 3:You have finished your 2 years of training and education to become a radiologic technologist and you are excited about entering the field. You study hard and pass the certification examination and are now an official RT.The next day one of your classmates calls you and begins to grill you about what questions were on the examination. You have been very close friends with this particular student and now facing a dilemma. You want to help the fellow student because you believe she may not be successful on the exam. 

– Dilemma 4: While working at a Trauma Center on a very busy evening shift, you witness a fellow technologist making multiple errors while x-raying an injured 10 year old girl (cropping pertinent anatomy from images, repeating multiple images, not applying collimation or shielding). You are in the adjacent x-ray room that shares control panel space preparing and setting up equipment and supplies to perform an exam on another trauma patient but have concerns.

1)Compare the various types of ANOVA by discussing when each is most appropriate for use. Include specific examples to illustrate the appropriate use of each test and how interaction is assessed using ANOVA.

4)The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBSS) is a national survey monitoring health behavior among youth and young adults. It is administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For this assignment, use the “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System Dataset” provided to practice calculating and interpreting the t-test. Refer to the instructional videos in the topic resources and the Using and Interpreting Statistics: A Practical Text for the Behavioral, Social, and Health Sciences textbook as a guide.

Part 1

Refer to the topic resources to review the documentation, questionnaires, and general information pertaining to the YRBSS and YRBS. Then use the 2015 “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System Dataset” and conduct a two-sample t-test to determine if weight (in kg) differs by sex. Submit the SPSS output for the t-test.

Part 2

Create an 8-10 slide PowerPoint presentation to discuss the findings for the t-test. For the presentation of your PowerPoint, use Loom to create a voice-over or a video. Refer to the topic resources for additional guidance on recording your presentation with Loom. Include an additional slide for the Loom link at the beginning and an additional slide for references at the end.

Include the following:

1. Identify which of three t-tests was selected and explain why this is the best statistical test and whether the assumptions were met.
2. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
3. What is the decision rule?
4. What is the test statistic and p-value?
5. Interpretation of the t-test results (What was done? What was found? What does it mean? What suggestions are there for the creation of a health promotion intervention?).

Please answer the questions below.

1. What must be included in the result and discussion section of the research paper?
2. Select a research result and state whether it includes the necessary elements. Why and why not?
