Homework 10

The mission of my project is to improve the quality, safety and efficiency of health care for all. In the future there will be a program of health research that will promote the improvements in the clinical health system. The future health I.T. will broadly define the use of information and communication technology in health care to support the delivery of patient or population care. For example the future technology will include applications such as telemedicine, clinical alerts, and reminders, computerized clinical decision support system, consumer health information applications, and electronic exchange of health information. I feel the implementation of this futuristic health I.T. will be beneficial in these settings. Patients at home or various types of communities that are underdeveloped will have access to this new health technology. The successful health I.T in these settings may provide much needed tools to improve health care for various vulnerable populations including elderly patients.
Pertaining to scientific proof some believe there is no such thing. In science there is no proof because there are a lot of things which has a degree of uncertainty. In strictest sense one never arrives at a “proof”. There is a very high degree of probability however. In my program there will not be a 100 percent success rate. However there will be a high degree of certainty that the Health I.T. program will help the majority of the population. And eventually make the world a healthier place because of the easy access to information pertaining to your health.

Homework 12

If I had a robot to do one thing, I would recommend that it understands directions given to it. My current project deals with the ability to improve health I.T. Also touches on the inability of our current health I.T. situation. If robots were used in my industry they would be used for retrieving or delivering information. In my project I explore how health I.T. can be made more accessible to the patients; in addition more accessible for the doctors and nurses. My ideal for the future will be to actually have something like an intranet to support all patients’ health care needs and more importantly to store patients’ documents.
In my health care intranet patients will have the ability to access the information on a secure network. Patients will look at vital information relating to their needs. They will have access to speak to their physicians via email or webcam or any type of communication outlet. This I believe is the future of information technology for health.
Relating to robots they will only be used to fix existing problems with the net or research old files that have yet to be uploaded in the health I.T. database.

Homework 9

My current project deals with health I.T. for the future. As of now our health I.T. is outdated. I believe there can be many modifications that can be implemented to help health I.T. grow. Health I.T. is defined as the use of information and communication technology in health care to support patient-self management. My goal for the capability to support patient care related activities such as order communication, results reporting and a variety of applications on cell phones and desktops to support health I.T.
As of now our current system implement paper records. For example nurses go and pull our files from record that is stored at our local clinics. However files can be kept using an easier and more secure approach. My vision for Health I.T. in the future is easier access to patient files.
