Johns Hopkins

The type of facility I chose to write about is the Johns Hopkins Hospital. The Johns Hopkins Hospital is a teaching hospital and biomedical research facility of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It was founded using money from an inheritance by philanthropist Johns Hopkins. The Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine are the founding institutions of modern American medicine and the birthplace of numerous traditions including rounds, residents and house staff (Henderson & Marek, 2001). Many medical specialties were formed at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, including neurosurgery, by Harvey Cushing (Toledo-Pereyra, 2002); cardiac surgery by Alfred Blalock (Toledo-Pereyra, 2005;…

Why Hopkins? I knew this conversation well, but each time it was marginally varied. Today the aroma of popcorn wafted my way as I sat at a table in Target. “We are moving to Baltimore this summer,” my dad said. Thus began another relocation experience, one that continued to foster my diverse interests. Having the ability to pursue a wide range of subjects is important to me, and I need a college that would allow that. Because of its flexible curriculum, Johns Hopkins would be a place where I…

The Association for Healthcare Resource and Materials Management, the largest association of healthcare resource and material managers in the nation, presented its annual conference in Boston, MA (AHRMM, 2015). Johns Hopkins Health System proclaimed, during the conference, that they were able to reduce their supply costs by $41 million dollars through “e-Sourcing.” Johns Hopkins initiated their own strategic sourcing strategy as a way to reduce costs and improve margins (Intesource, 2015/a;…

Reflecting on the three articles is an interesting thing because of the sense, facts and arguments that they all raised and pointed out. Going by the three articles, they are interrelated in one way or the other but with different views and position. I will start with the John Hopkins article. This article is great and the steps in which he presented to solve the classroom behavioural problem. However, it should be noted that resisting temptation and managing behaviour is not as easy as we…

John Hopkins went live with an Electronic Medical Record called Epic in the summer of 2013 at Sibley Memorial Hospital. As an extern on the orthopedic unit, I was able to fully appreciate the benefits that this new EMR brought to the table. An innovation such as Epic is necessary in modernizing our health care system, and I yearn not only to participate in shaping that modernization, but to be help shape and conduct similar innovations in regards to health informatics. As a nursing student, I…

There are multiple public transportation options, such as the Baltimore MTA and Circulator to travel to the Inner Harbor. I want to go to Johns Hopkins because i want to major in medicine. Johns Hopkins prides itself in its focus on the sciences, particularly health and engineering. Approximately 90% of the student body focuses on a health or biology-related major or an engineering major. If anyone is planning to be a doctor, an engineer, a researcher, or a writer, people highly recommend Johns…

John Hopkins University John Hopkins University is located in many places, but one, there are more campuses in other countries as well, but the one I feel I will be successful at, is in Baltimore, Maryland.

I want to become biomedical engineer because I want to unblock the barrier that stops disabled people from becoming…

Each decision both individuals made had either a positive or negative impact on their life, according to which Wes Moore was described. Both men left legacies behind, specifically Baltimore that everyone will remember. Although both Wes Moores grew up around the same time and place and shared the same name, their lives turned out drastically different due to their education, or lack of education, the absence of a father-figure in their lives, and their living conditions at home. The first…
