growth in mobile applications (apps). Concurrently‚ mobile devices have been integrated into health care practice due to the availability and quality of medical apps. These mobile medical apps offer increased access to clinical references and point-of-care tools. However‚ there has been little identification of mobile medical apps suitable for the practice of pharmacy. Pharmacists regularly provide health-related education to patients. The type of education varies from patient to patient and can include

The emergence of public health informatics as a professional specialty is part of a larger development of informatics in related health fields‚ such as medicine‚ nursing‚ pharmacy‚ and dentistry. Interest in informatics as a specialty in these areas reflects the importance that information collection‚ analysis‚ evaluation‚ and utilization now play in the health care division. One of the primary inventions of clinical medicine is the patient medical record. Practitioners use the record to capture

ED THROUGHPUT 2 Introduction A visit to the emergency department (ED) is usually associated with negative thoughts by most people. It creates preconceived images of overcrowded waiting rooms and routine long waits for treatment (Jarousse‚ 2011). From 1996 to 2006‚ ED visits increased annually from 90.3 million to 119.2 million (32% increase). During this same time period‚ the number of EDs has declined by 186 facilities creating the age old lower supply and greater demand concept (Crane & Noon‚ 2011)

Furthermore‚ it deals with the impact of technology and information on people; it is usually combined with a cognate. Clinical informatics promotes the understanding‚ interpretation‚ and application of information technology in healthcare settings; it helps to ensure quality support and best practice (Healthcare Information and Management System Society‚ 2015).

costs. An increase in output will require an increase in the quantity of factor inputs which will lead to an increase in costs. The theory of cost is the study of how the cost of production changes as the output level changes. This chapter gives an exposition of the theory of cost. 2 2.1 SHORT-RUN THEORY OF COST Distinction between fixed costs and variable costs Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with the output level as they are associated with fixed factor inputs. In other words‚ an

Reflecting upon the Self Assessment TIGER Nursing Informatics Competencies‚ it is safe to assert that for the past three years of my nursing practice many computer skills have developed extensively as a result of a change from the inpatient nursing setting to the outpatient environment. Subsequently‚ that change has prompted a self-education and self-training to obtain necessary skills required to be proficient at a current position. One must realize that nurses who work at the bedside‚ caring for

is to detect the presence of a particular combination of bits at the inputs and indicate the presence of that particular set of bits by outputting a specified output level. Typically a decoder with n input lines require 2n output lines to decode every possible combination of bits. BCD to decimal conversion‚ looked at in part 3 of this lab‚ is accomplished using a decoder which has 4 input lines and 10 output lines (the 10 output lines correspond to the decimal numbers 0-9). This device is used to
