O Who are the individuals involved in the use of this technology/system (nurses, physicians, pharmacists, educators, QA&QC department etc...).

O How would you evaluation of the effectiveness of the technology

O Possible disruption or impact of implementation on usual work of the patient care setting

O How does the application of the technology/system affect quality and safety?

•Synthesize your information with support from literature (at least 5 scholarly references).

Answer 1

Technology is a important service system for healthcare in the recent year..Health care consists of human interaction the application of technology or both..technology is important for the organization and functioning of healthcare services and systems for many reasons that is technology is a important cause for health care costs and for future to promote effective and efficient health care..
Health information technology into primary care includes a variety of electronic methods useful for managing people's health care information and improve quality of care..Electronic health records used in health care facilities to make health information available electronocally when and where it is required,health IT makes health care more cost effective..
   Today in clinical settings HIT creating comprehensive patient record to avoid duplicate services..In united states progression and transformation of health care in countries that have universally adopted HIT throughout their health care system..the EHR is a system that captures,processes,communites,secures and presents data about the patient..
HIT has the potential to improve the health of individuals and theperformance of providers,improved quality,cost savings..HIT to guide physicians,hospitals and other entities to adopt..Health IT functions include peer-reviewed publications assessing effects of EHR computerized provider order entry,clinical decision-support systems,health information exchange,e-prescribing for outpatient-patient's personal health records,patient registries,telemedicine or remote monitoring and administrative functions..
   Health care database is a foundational use of data,it is a collection of data organized for storage,accessibility and retrival..online transcription processing(OLTP) database for EHR in application it allows for quick,real-time,transactional processing..data can be stored externally and backed up in a secure place to prevent data loss..it become more standardized and accutate,it allows quicker processing of lab results and payment claims etc..
    There are overwhelming in the raw data..health care organization now presented with a flood of data.From CEO to the individual clinician needs to change raw information into targeted,actionable knowledge..OLTP data base analysis need to improve to succeed to value-based care requires analysis across applications and systems..
   successful implementation of HIT need understanding of particular function,willingness,processes and adopted changes to the new systems..Stakeholders need to make adoptation possible..for successful implementation electronic prescribing to ongoing training for team menbers,readily available technical support,targetted communication to stakeholders outside the practice and commitment improvements..The human infrastructure with in the practice must be implemented by a supportive and recognizes the frame in primary care needed to high-functioning,high-value and successful health care system..
