As the political race for the Whitehouse evolves, so do the issues influencing society. There is much to be desired of the political system. Healthcare is a struggling environment for consumers. The current system lacks the ability to provide care efficiently and is burdening to the consumer. Candidates understand that any significant issue must be solved in iterations, one must apply this principle to healthcare. A system that accomplishes one task is better than one which attempts to account for everything wrong. One area that can be addressed is appointment scheduling. Various appointment systems have been studied thoroughly to address this issue. The goal of this material is to devise a system that would adequately use this information to create a system as it would pertain to a local clinic with one working physician as well as a receptionist. Users requiring medical care, typically will find the nearest facility providing the services they require, and must contact the clinic to initiate an appointment request. Once the individual has arrived to attend the appointment, instead of promptly receiving care, the individual must fill out many forms to meet the protocol that all patients must be expected to complete. Research from the International Journal of Computer Science and Information Security Research, studied the lacking functionality of the current healthcare system, the authors studied the effectiveness of a mobile program.“The current system is
The use of mobile technology in the healthcare industry has exploded in the last ten years. Mobile health or mHealth, provides an entire new aspect of the relationship between patients and their doctors and other medical providers. Mobile devices place important and critical information into a medical professional’s hands in real-time. Doctors can monitor a patient’s condition more frequently, allowing them to make better and more informed decisions and diagnoses.
Health information is a fundamental piece of data which represents a person, business, organization, or a community. This data is vital in monitoring and coordination of care for individuals and communities. It not only monitors and coordinates patient care, but reduces costly mistakes and prevent duplication of treatments as well as taking a pivotal role in preserving, securing, and protecting personal health information. Since, this information is extremely essential and sensitive, it must remain secure and safe to prevent frauds and cyber-attacks. First of all, this paper discusses vitality of the health information in regards to individuals, professionals, and organizations along with its benefits to improve overall quality of life. Secondly, it discusses the role of information technology in various aspects of the industry and the what the future holds within IT.
The media has always played an important role in the President’s relationship with the public, but just what kind of affect does it really have on the executive office? The first televised presidential debate in 1960 between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon marked the beginning of a new era – the inaugural shift of the media’s role in politics. Since that time, the media has continued to transform the way the president is perceived by the public through print, broadcast, and more recently, social media. All of said outlets have played vital roles in not only a president’s campaign, but also in their presidency and likability throughout their time in office. While the White House is still the source of most presidential news, the media are the shapers of the story and can frame it pretty much any way they want. There used to be limits on certain issues or realms of the presidency that were to remain untouched, however, first amendment freedoms take precedence over almost any restriction the government could try to place on the media. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between the media and the president throughout recent years, looking briefly into the past to establish the scale of the dramatic change, and to study their reciprocal connection of how each utilizes the other.
Have you or your family member ever been in the hospital? Did you ever experience the anxiety, fear, and anger while waiting for the doctor or nurse to update you with the status of your loved one? The hospital is the last place where you or your family wants to be, but unfortunately, it either happens on the emergency basis or scheduled procedures. The project that we have chosen will address the communication problems between patient's families and medical personnel. The project will consist of a HIPPA-compliant, messaging system that will be updating family members about the patients undergoing surgical procedures. This service provided by utilizing a mobile platform with
EHR programs in the medical office has many advantages it is an upsurge in electronic social networking, instant communications, and demand for the immediate availability of information. When patients come to the medical clinic it can be stressful and sometimes frustrating, to deal with lost files, forms not completed, or when the patient is impatient. The new EHR program in medical offices will provide security, accessibility, and will be available when needed. Access to personal medical information across the internet has become a need, not only for healthcare providers, but also for the patients. EHR will bring tremendous benefits to patients care and to healthcare providers. It will bring enhanced accessibility to clinical information,
The advancement in technology has changed the way the world functions and has become an important part of the lives of people. Consequently, the medical world has adopted the electronic medical records which ensure that patient’s information is stored electronically (Celluci, Wiggins & Woodhouse, 2010). The advantages of electronic medical records exceed the challenges that come along with it. Firstly, the records are accessible from any location at any time and therefore a patient’s medical team can efficiently coordinate care and this is more important in cases of emergency. Secondly, the electronic medical records have secure
The Simon and Company Medical Practice (SCMP) relies heavily upon the internet to conduct daily operations and to maintain the highest level of information security and patient privacy. The SCMP utilizes its Information Technology professionals to employ a number of techniques including account creation and termination, account permissions, password reset reminders, employee and patient awareness programs, and planned vulnerability assessments. Other security solutions include the utilization of a VPN to access the patient portal, and an off-site secure data backup company to store copies of vital patient information, in case of emergencies (McWay, 2014) & (Blackley, Peltier, & Peltier, 2014). Patient
In Beverly Medical Center’s case a solution to its current problem is to create an automated form process system that will allow patients to send their patient information electronically, where receptionist and staff member their can easily manage the influx of information sent to the office daily. This electronic form solution can help alleviate the wait times at Beverly Medical center by that patients can fill their application before arrival for their appointment on that day, the

To ensure time management is successfully accomplished, a timeline will be distributed to confirm assigned tasks are being met. Furthermore, a cause and effect Ishikawa diagram will be drawn to examine the root causes of no-shows (Issue & Change Management). In order to further develop and complete this project, additional data from vendors will be collected and evaluated to determine the needs for the proposed project. The data generated will include information on the loss of revenue reported and expenditure. A cost-benefit analysis will be determined in addition to a return on investment analysis, which will show the prospective benefit of the proposed changes (Cost Management). Legal guidance will be necessary to ascertain and mitigate potential risk associated with implementing enhanced automated appointment reminders in a healthcare setting (Risk
private health care clinics) do not possess any web based or mobile capabilities this would be a benefit to incorporate these IT technologies into our business, which will provide an advancement over our competition and be a convenience to our clients. Therefore, by implementing web based and mobile application will benefit not only their physicians, staff and clients, but will add value and new clients to the clinic. In addition, the information will also be in the cloud, in which the doctors can have access to patient information at any time, for instance, if a patient is admitted for outpatient services or even the ER, you can access their medical records from anywhere with a secure connection (i.e. login information provided).

The future trends in health care are limitless. From using applications that perform EKG’s to robot-assisted surgery, the rapid expansion of technology applications in health care is astounding. Advancing technology also pushes the boundaries of health care in its ability to integrate health care information. The integration of health care information is critical to the effective, efficient delivery of quality care in a now fragmented health care system. This paper will assess how the internet or any new forms of electronic communication can be used as an external delivery source of communicating patient-specific information, address the impact of distance delivery on health care, how these communication issues impact health care today and
While software selection criteria were not in scope for this effort, it does warrant discussion on the overall availability of specialty software for the medical industry on iOS, Android and Windows platforms. Currently, most of the “MCA’s” or Medical Clinical Assistant platforms operate in a Windows-only environment, as do most of the key medical records and billing platforms in the medical field. The cost of custom software development to build a mobile solution is far beyond the budget of most local hospitals and not an endeavor to be undertaken lightly.
This paper proposes another structural engineering for e-Health cell phones eliminating so as to observe framework the outsider server in the framework.
