HEALTH INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM HIM 163: CLINICAL AFFILIATION I COMPREHENSIVE JOURNAL ENTRY Scanning/Analysis/Assembly/Objective 10 Lexington Medical Center uses an electronic health record but that does not mean they don’t have to scan/assemble loose paper into EPIC. There are three steps to ensure the quality and efficiency of indexing and scanning forms and loose records into EPIC. The first step is to scan these loose forms. Most of the hospital scans their own records for the most part but for example HIM scans the ERs records and place them in EPIC. On February 9th, Devonn and I got a chance to scan records from OB and a few inpatients. We went to a pretty much vacant filing cabinet and picked up forms about 3 inches high. We needed to put them in the scanner to scan but before we must prep the documents. The way to prep the documents is to take them out of paperclips and to remove staples. Also, we may need to tape down anything that is sticking out so it does not get caught up in the scanner for example an EKG slip. It is also a good idea to look throughout the documents and try to organize them before they are placed in the system. Once prepped,…

The Physics of PET Scans All elements are composed of atoms, which are composed of small particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. The nucleus of an atom is made of a tightly packed collection of protons and neutrons. You would think that with positively charged protons being packed so closely together the nucleus would fall apart, however this is not the case. There is an attractive force called the “nuclear force” which is able to overcome the repulsive force of the adjacent…

Brain scans are an important tool used by doctors to allow them to have a look at what might be doing on inside the brain giving a patient discomfort. Brain scans have a wide range of potential that has yet to be utilized by doctors. This type of imagery is only used when symptoms occur and once the issues have already arose. If a child received a brain scan as a baseline scan and then continued to receive a brain scan once every five years during their lifetime. It would be beneficial to both…

Introduction An MRI (or Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is a radiology technique that uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to look at organs and structures inside our bodies. Single MRI images are called slices can be stored on a computer or printed on film. An MRI combines images to create a 3-D picture of your internal structures. The MRI scanner is a tube surrounded by a huge circular magnet. The patient is placed on a moveable bed that is inserted into the magnet. An MRI…

Environmental Scan Paper The environmental scan in strategic planning helps an organization determine both internal and external factors that might affect their long-term goals. According to BusinessDictionary.com (2015), “an environmental scan is the vigilant monitoring and evaluation of a firm’s external and internal environments for detecting early signs of opportunities and threats that may influence current and future plans”. In this paper I will explore the external and internal…

understand. While this is by no means a complete explanation of everything going on neuroscience, here are three recent medical studies connected with the brain: Brain Scans and Depression Recently, researchers at King’s College London and The University of Manchester conducted a study involving 64 patients who were in remission from major depressive disorder. None of the participants were on prescription medication for depression at the start of the study. As part of the study, which was…

emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test used by doctors to check for the disease in the patient's body. This PET scan also can use to measure blood flow, oxygen use and can detect cancer, heart problems, brain disorders and another. PET scans use radioactive materials called tracers to find diseases in the body and it will shows how organs and tissues are working. Stacy Simon reported annual statistics reporting from the American Cancer Society shows the death rate from cancer in the…

treatment of abnormal body functional processes. The scan does not use a lot of time and tends to be less risky as well as having limited side effects. The scan’s effects will usually fade from the body within 24 hours while its efficacy is guaranteed. The PET scan should not be risky if all the safety precautions are observed and adhered to. This form of imaging is quintessential when dealing with…

A company’s environmental scan includes its external influences that affect internal decisions and performances. Depending on the conditions found in the scan, managers need to assess the micro and macro environment to determine what is greatly influencing the company. The macro environment includes the external influences which include social, technological, competitive and economic factors. To ensure that the business is being profitable and not reducing their inefficiencies, many companies…

When the pregnant population exceeded a very high number, the scan was authorized. The Nano utilized for one lady was not ever acceptable, and yet, I stared at an override giving access for just that. One patient tested with the Nano. And the weirder thing, looking over the override, it was written in code. I merely deciphered it without even realizing, my gene giving me the ability. Now why would a higher-up need a Nano and then conceal the scan from rest of the medical community? I took out…
