Hospital information system

their doctor. Physicians have supposedly earned their trustworthy title because of their extended education and desire to help others. However, this perception is being shattered by physicians violating patients’ trust by not providing all the information needed for making a responsible decision for a person’s health and performing unimaginable procedures. “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” provides multiple examples of the unethical practice of doctors. When scientists do not recognize…

interaction between potentially unsafe conditions at the systems level, also know as the blunt end, and individual performance at the sharp end. The medication administration process is a complex series including many steps” (Rothchild et al., 2005, p. 14). According to the authors, it was not uncommon to find medication errors associated with intravenous infusion pumps.…

Electronic health records provide a very efficient mode of communication in the healthcare field. In addition to allowing for a quick access to patient information, such records also minimize the chances of human errors. In such a system, physicians never have to worry about eligibility and correctness of files. Costly mistakes because of inaccurate file storage are minimal in this mode of record storage. Unlike paper health records that are prone to loss and damage, electronic health records…

Rest in Peace? Imagine you’re halfway around the world, being rushed into the emergency room, nobody knows anything about you besides the information on your id. You can’t move or speak, the doctor is observing you, trying to get a diagnostic. the medical staff take your id and begin to input your information on a computer, BOOM! The doctors immediately begin to administer lifesaving treatment. A couple hours later you wake up in a daze wondering what happen. The doctor sits down and…

On February 4th and 5th I had an ICU rotation to 3 South at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital which is a surgical ICU unit. The unit I am usually on is 2900, which is a Cardiac ICU at the same Hospital. Both units being ICU, I wasn’t sure how much a difference there would be between the two. However, there was a big difference between the two ICUs. Of course some things were the same, such as the layout of the unit (the pods, computers, and medication rooms). Whereas there are some patients on the…

Shows like Grey 's Anatomy, ER, Scrubs and House romanticize the hospital as a place of continual social and emotional drama among the staff and patients. While hospital personnel are socializing, patients experience incredible trauma all around them. However, they seem to be able…

qualitative research approaches. The researchers conducted the study to identify the complexities that are characterized within the healthcare system. Also, the research addressed medical errors, behaviors, human interaction, team performance, and communication. By combining mixed method approaches, researchers can conclude the underlying reason for out-of-hospital care, interpersonal interactions, patient outcomes, and societal norms. The theoretical framework within the article is…

In order to help improve patient identification errors, algorithms that have been developed for patient-matching can be used (Lee et. al.). With these algorithms, patients with similar information in a health system can be detected, in order to be certain the correct patient is selected. To help improve problems during the registration process, there should be red flags that may indicate a possible error in identity (Judson et al.). In order to help prevent errors, the staff in the registration…
