    Before the use of electronic health records, there were paper charts. These charts lined large shelves that often filled entire rooms depending on the size of the healthcare practice or hospital. The idea of the electronic health record has been around for several decades plus years (Gartee, 2011).

In 1991, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies sponsored various studies and developed reports that ultimately paved the way for the electronic health records that we use today Gartee, 2011).…

    The most recent Presidential election has consumed the national consciousness. With each passing debate, speech, headline, and commercial, we have been flooded with negative messages that are highlighting all that is wrong with our current and perspective political leaders. We seem to have leaders who are devoid of the character necessary to handle the great challenges that face our nation and our world. It would be easy to sit in a state of despair about the future of our country. I, however, find solitude in knowing that we are raising a new generation of young adults in our schools, such as Nathan Lefeld, who can strive of excellence academically, persevere through adversity, find joy in service to others, and work extremely hard to earn…

    There is declining participation in local elections because of many reasons such as, voter apathy, a dislike of the candidates, work conflicts, the feeling that their vote doesn’t count, and a lack of knowledge about the candidates. In “Voter Turnout Plummeting in Local Elections” Aaron Weinschenk suggests the reason for lower voter turnout in local elections is due to “the negativity surrounding government in general is seeping into local government” and “polluting politics at all levels” (para. 4). According to Governing State and Localities “For municipal elections, turnout rates are generally less than 20 percent” (121). That means that only about one-fifth of the local population is casting a vote.…

    It’s the year 3000, and you walk into a hospital and notice that everything is done using the computers. If someone gets injured, the computer will take care of the issue. If someone needs a life saving treatment, the computer will print out a report for the patient and you’re thinking, “what happened to the doctors?” Back in 2015 there was a controversy in the article “Medical Technology and Ethical Issues” between authors William E. Thompson and Joseph V. Hickey on the R.I.P system; which is a system that helps doctors make informed decisions about whether or not the patient will benefit from help. I agree and also disagree with the article.…
