Analyze the parts of the screen and give 3 examples from the screenshot of each of the following: data, a character, and a field.

Today we see the transition from the paper-based health record to the electronic health record. This historic transition has brought many new career opportunities for Health Information Management (HIM) professionals. Understanding the various elements that build the foundation for the electronic health record is key knowledge as we move towards electronic health information systems.

 

Create a report about electronic health information systems. Be sure to address the following:

 

Requirements

 

Part-1: Discuss the roles of HIM professionals in electronic health information systems

 

  1. Identify 3 roles available to HIM professionals in electronic health information systems. List the roles and provide a brief description of each.
  2. Which of the 3 roles identified above do you feel would be most valuable within the healthcare community? Explain your reasoning.

 

Part-2: Examine the elements of an Electronic Health Record (EHR)

 

  1. Describe the difference between primary and secondary information sources.
  2. Define data, character, field, record, file, and information. Give examples of each.
  3. Examine the screenshot below of an EHR registration screen. Analyze the parts of the screen and give 3 examples from the screenshot of each of the following: data, a character, and a field. (For example: Show that the Patient Name area is a field.) You can do this as a list, a table, or graphically right on the screenshot (if you know how to do that!). You can be creative with this, and make it easier for someone new to understand the terminology.

 

 

Your report should:

Explore exhibits 1–3 and summarize this information for your executive leaders to include the findings in your research.

Ginn, G. O., Shen, J. J., & Moseley, C. B. (2011). Hospital financial position and

the adoption of electronic health records. Journal of Health Care

Management, 56(5), 337–350.

In the United States, adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) is one of the most prolific discussions at the healthcare level. Hospitals and organizations that seek to financially invest in and adopt EHRs can lower medical cost, reduce medical errors, and increase efficiency of healthcare services rendered by healthcare practitioners. In this study, the authors examine the role of the financial position of hospitals in the adoption of EHRs in order to obtain further information regarding barriers to adoption. Review the questions to ask when critiquing a research study. Answer the following questions:

  1. What were the major reasons the researchers chose this method to study this case rather than another study design? What is the significance of using the aggregated data from the three major organizations (i.e., American Heart Association, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and American Heart Association Annual Survey)?
  2. How might you use these findings to persuade your executive leaders to adopt EHRs and avoid substantial financial penalties?
  3. What conclusions did the researchers reach with regard to the utility of EHRs?
  4. As a proponent for the adoption of EHRs, what steps might you take to propose to executive leaders of your organization to adopt EHRs? What factors would you take into consideration as you draft your proposal?
  5. After reviewing this article, how, as a leader, would you make a decision to budget for EHRs?
  6. Complete a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis for your proposal.
  7. Explore exhibits 1–3 and summarize this information for your executive leaders to include the findings in your research.

Present all your work in a 3-page Microsoft Word document. Be sure to use APA format.

Please use sources less than five years old

Compared and contrasted the calculation of simple interest and compound interest.

A common component of investing money is to take advantage of a financial institution’s willingness to pay compound interest. Compound interest is basically interest paid on a deposit that continually accumulates interest. In general, the formula for compound interest can be represented by the following exponential function:

In this formula, P(t) represents the total money in the account after t years given the interest rate k which is compounded continuously. In this assignment, you will use this formula to explore the affect that compound interest can have over a period of time and at different interest rates.

Directions:

  1. Select an amount of money that you would like to invest (for example $1000.00). This will be your P0 value.
  2. Let your interest rate be k = 0.5%.
  3. Write out the exponential function using the P0 and k values you have.
  4. Determine the value of your investment after 1, 5, and 10 years.
  5. Now, find the doubling time T for your investment. In other words, at what time would your initial deposit double in value?
  6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for k = 1%.
  7. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for k = 1.5%.

In a Microsoft Word document, prepare a report that includes answers to the following:.

  1. Report the results of the calculations you performed above.
  2. What affect did changing the interest rate have on the rate at which your investment grew?
  3. What affect did changing the interest rate have on the doubling time (time until your initial deposit doubled in size)?
  4. Assume that this money is being invested in a savings account. Are the interest rates we selected realistic for such an account today?
  5. Consider the formula we used to determine the future value of our deposit. Is this formula a realistic approximation of what we could expect from an investment or are there other issues or factors that must be considered?
  6. Besides savings accounts, what other kinds of investment accounts or programs are typically offered at your bank? Do these accounts use compound interest? What are the typical interest rates for these accounts?
  7. Use your textbook or another reference to research how to calculate simple interest. Given what you know about compound and simple interest, which would you prefer that your investment programs were based upon? Why?
