  • Health IT and Law Essay

    ...encourage healthcare providers to keep up with current technology trends several federal agencies have been developed. As a result of these agency formations several laws and regulations have been put into place. The development of healthcare information technology (HIT), and subsequently the rules and regulations, began to evolve in the 1960's with the development of Medicare and Medicaid under President Johnson. At this time a major reason for the development and evolution of health records and later, electronic health records, is healthcare reimbursement. Proper documentation and data tracking needed to take place to insure proper reimbursement. As we are seeing now with "Meaningful Use", the development and evolution of HIT deals with money and reimbursement. Over the last five decades health care records have evolved from paper and pencil to electronic health records (EHR). There were multiple problems associated with paper based records which led to the development of EHR in hoped to eradicate these errors. Some of these problems, that EHR resolves are: illegible writing, incomplete, inaccurate notes, the record being in only one place, records taking up a lot of space and difficulty of collecting and aggregating information across patients, providers and organizations (Buchbinder and Shanks). The development of computers over the 1970's and into the 1980's took electronic...

  • Future Trends in Health Care Essay

    ...Future Trends in Health Care Over the years many things have contrubuted to the advancement of the electronic age in the health care system. In the beginning, the primary function of the information system in the healthcare setting was administrative tasks, such as billling. That has changed over the years. According to Blackwell (2008) “As IT developed, systems were marketed for the specialist medical departments and niche markets developed, for example, for laboratories, pharmacies, diagnostics, imaging and intensive care.” Although email, telemedicine, and electronic transfer of records have impacted healthcare today, understanding how they can impact health care 5 years from now can be equally as important. This paper will evaluate how the internet can be used as an external delivery source in communicating patient information, as well as the impact of distance delivery has on healthcare. The internet or any new form of electronic communication can be used as an external delivery source in communicating patient-specific information. According to Dezelico & Stampar (2007) “The development of information and communication technologies during the last 2 decades of the 20th century was paticularly important for medical informatics, with Internet and its profound influence on the everyday medical work. It is emphasized that Internet caused a new...

  • Essay about Health Informatics

    ... Health Informatics: Advancement Through Technology History of Healthcare Informatics It wasn’t until the 1950’s, that informatics started to take off, when Robert Ledley used computers in dental projects with the National Bureau of Standards. In the 1960’s doctors, graduate students, and computer specialists began creating diagnostic systems and other medical computer programs. In the late 1960’s, the MUMPs programming system was created to integrate medical databases and is still used today (“The History”, n.d.). In recent years, health informatics has exploded with president Obama’s 2009 Federal Stimulus Package, which has allocated millions of dollars for funding of health care informatics development and utilization. The package states a goal that by 2014, every resident will have an electronic health record (Sorgen, 2010). Given this stimulus, the U.S. Department of Labor predicts a 49% job growth and the U.S. News & World Report named Healthcare Informatics as one of the top careers today (“Health Informatics Career”, n.d.). What is Healthcare Informatics? According to the American Health Information Management Association, healthcare Informatics was adapted from the French term for computer science (Informatique), in the 1970’s in order to capture the emerging science of information and computer...

  • Management Plan for Security and Privacy Essay

    ...Management Plan for Security and Privacy 1 Management Plan for Security and Privacy 2 Abstract Many times, disaster recovery planning fails to consider how diverse regulations and compliance issues will impact an organization after a natural disaster strikes (Talon, 2006). For instance, organizations regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), will discover that disaster recovery planning can be a complex web of potential pitfalls. For health care organizations and all other organizations regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, there are three main things that must be proven in the event of a natural disaster: 1) A formal analysis of the risks to data has been conducted, which includes an assessment of the physical access and security in addition to technical threats; 2) a disaster recovery plan has been produced with policies and procedures in place that cover backup, storage, and recovery; and 3) the disaster recovery plan both reasonably and adequately addresses the risks addressed in the analysis (Talon, 2006). I have chosen scenario 2 for the natural disaster on the Gulf Coast. Though my patient files were destroyed from the hurricane, I am still responsible for having a system in place to secure patient information. Upon completion of reading this essay, one will discover...
