ALL OF THEM WERE FULL MARKED EXCEPT FOR HOMEWORK 3#. Homework 1 Based on the video that you watched, answer these two questions: 1. List 5 characteristics of high-quality information, as learned from watching the video. 2. Choose the top priority characteristic, and explain (in 2-4 sentences) why it is the most important one from your opinion. Answer The video mentioned numerous important types of high-quality information, a few of them: 1. Valid information. 2. Reliable information. 3. Fit for purpose information. 4. Accessible information. 5. Sufficiently accurate information. The way I see it, “Accessible information.” Is the most crucial among them. I'll start by saying, we are fortunate enough to live in an age where almost every piece of information is available on the internet, many of us can reach their nearest electronic device and search for anything on it. On the contrary, how many of us went on a website for a piece of information and the website asks for payment to check the rest of the information, the feeling of frustration and bitterness we perceive. People need the information to intellectually develop, so the more the information is accessible the more intellectually people will get. Homework 2 From your understanding of the video you watched, please answer each of the following questions. 1. Define the Internet: 2. HTML and JAVA are examples of: _______ 3. The main purpose of a web browser is: 4. Who is the father of the World Wide Web? 5. What is a Hyperlink? Answer 1. The internet is the way computers connect to each other in order to share information. 2. HTML and JAVA are examples of web languages. 3. Web browser purpose is to create a graphic interface for users by taking all the codes on the site and turning them into words, graphics, and videos. 4. The father of the world wide web is Tim Berners-Lee. 5. A hyperlink is a way to organize information to mirror a natural arrangement as it allows the web to operate along the same lines as our thoughts patterns by linking several pages within a website or redirecting the user to other websites to expand on information or ideas. Homework 3 Based on what you watched in the video, explain in less than 150 words how did electronic healthcare information system improve nurse John's care of Mr. Brown (Past Vs. Present)? Answer: My grade >>>(2.7/3) Computer integrated nursing helped improve nursing care in many ways. Before, nurses used to go through many files to find the patients' files. Nowadays, nurses can easily access patients' information through computers. Also, in the past, nurses were to measure vital signs by hand. But now, vital signs are taken by electronic devices, which give a more accurate reading. Another aspect that changed through the years is validating information; before, nurses had to leave the patient's bedside to check if the patient was taking the proper medication or the dose. Now, nurses can effortlessly check that information with a small phone call. Homework 4 Based on what you learned from the video, define in your own words each of the following terms: 1) Computer Virus.. 2) DDOS.. 3) Phishing Scam.. Answer Computer virus: is an executable program that gets installed unintentionally by the user with deception (e.g., fake security updates), or the attacker installs it because the computer's software is vulnerable in order to harm the user by stealing or deleting files, controlling programs, or allowing someone else to control the user's computer remotely. DDOS (distributed denial of service): is a hacking attack that involves infecting millions of computers with viruses to form a digital army that can take over a website by flooding it with requests from many computers at once. phishing scam: a method used by cybercriminals to trick people into submitting sensitive personal information or stealing money from the user, by sending many spam emails. (For example, a phishing email demanding the user's login credentials). Homework 5 Based on what you learned from the video, list 5 benefits of EHR for healthcare professionals and/or patients: Answer The video mentioned numerous amount of benefits of "Electronic health records.", a few of them: 1. Improves the quality of care that the doctors give. 2. Better manage health care information and records. 3. Patients can choose to limit access to certain information about some conditions they have. 4. Every system has features and capabilities designed to prevent the intrusion of hackers. 5. Doctors can use EHR for communication and research. 6. Keeps information protected and secure. Homework 6 Based on the video that you watched, list 5 benefits of using online patient education for a better patient-provider experience. Answer few benefits of using online patient education: 1. reduces time and effort in explaining procedures, medical terms, and medications. 2. Increases practice visibility and marketability. 3. Improves customers satisfaction. 4. Patients can go back to information at any time. 5. makes patients more active in participating in their own care. 6. Enhances communication and interaction between patients and providers. 7. Websites used for online patient educations can be designed to meet the standers of the users for better education process. Homework 7 Based on what you learned from the video, mention 5 benefits of computer technology that help researchers. Answer A few benefits of computer technology for researchers: 1. It saves time, money, and resources. 2. it helps provide easy axis in through wide spread literature review. 3. Helps researchers by being able to design various types of documents and data collection. 4. Researchers can easily analyze and compute data by using statistical tools and various soft wares. 5. Researchers are more confident and workout the jobs more accurately. Homework 8 Based on the video content, answer the following three questions: 1. Is telemedicine worse than traditional medicine? And Why? 2. How does telemedicine help in rural areas? 3. How did the State of Idaho's medical licensing board deal with the physician who prescribed antibiotics through telemedicine? Do you agree with the board's decision? And why? Answer 1. No, it isn’t, as it saves time, money, and effort for the patient, and saves for the health care providers time and effort. Also, the video showed a systematic review for heart failure patients that were receiving telemedicine died at no higher rate than those who didn't. And care for mental health, substance abuse, dermatology who used telemedicine showed the same outcome as the patient who received clinical care. 2. Certain kind of treatments require an expert to deliver properly, these expertise may not be available in rural hospitals but can be conveyed by a video conference to emergency department physician, that's how telemedicine help in rural areas. 3. Idaho's medical licensing board finned the doctor 10,000 dollars and forbid her from providing telemedicine care. I agree with their decision, as people have rights for medications which are; the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the right route, and the right time. and I believe Identity theft can occur between people, which goes against medication right "The right patient.". I also believe that full assessment should be taken to give the right medication. in conclusion, I believe medication should be prescribed and given face to face rather telemedicine. Homework 9 After watching the video, think of an innovative way to utilize Virtual Reality technology in the nursing practice, then talk about the benefits of using VR in that aspect of nursing, in terms of: Why? How? and Where? Answer A great way to use virtual reality is to utilize it in education and training for nursing. Nurses can use it as a safe and integrated learning and training method that provides an experience that is close to the real thing. Various instruments and high-tech tools are used in modern clinics and hospitals. At the very least, in medical education, the use of virtual reality applications can help future nurses gain more valuable knowledge and thus provide more accurate interventions to their patients, and most definitely, students' performance will improve; have students to act as they would in real life, then provide feedback and review their work. VR students will certainly outperform traditional students in clinical training by providing a powerful educational intervention that delivers immediate and lasting results. Using VR in educational programs will increase the retention rate as it's a new, immersive, and intriguing way of learning for students that would surely capture students' attention. I believe that once VR is established, it will be unquestionably beneficial in reducing the cost of educational programs, as constantly providing physical and real equipment and maintaining them will overall be more expensive than using virtual equipment in VR. Implementing a VR educational program will certainly be hard in developing countries, remote areas, or poor districts right now, so VR should be established in modern, or central, medical universities or hospitals first. Homework 10 After watching the video, think of an innovative way to utilize 3D-printing technology in the nursing practice, then talk about the benefits of using 3D-printing in that aspect of nursing, in terms of: Why? How? and Where? Answer Healthcare technology is always evolving, and nurses are frequently tasked with staying on top of the latest developments. 3-D printing is one of the most recent technologies to gain traction in the medical field. In the medical industry, the goal of most 3-D printing technologies is to supply additional tailored solutions that are a near-exact match for the patient's demands. This permits for a power tool and speedier recovery. This would possibly imply shorter stays and quicker turnover in hospitals for the hard-working nurses accountable of serving patients through the rehabilitation process. With shorter recovery times, nurses can serve more patients in a much shorter amount of time. For instance, the development of specific surgical templates for cutting and drilling, prosthetics, creating individual copies of bones, organs, blood vessels, and recent advances in 3D printing in healthcare are lighter, stronger, and safer products that help shorten patient stays in hospital and reduce postoperative care, and effort for nurses.

As academics, inventors, and politicians work to enhance access, efficacy, and affordability of treatment, the future of healthcare technology is entering a new phase. Without a question, technology will play a significant part in the future of healthcare, but how will it do so? The move away from the point-of-care paradigm towards a more efficient and effective whole-patient approach to treatment can be facilitated by technology. Advances in digital healthcare technologies, such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, 3D printing, robots, and nanotechnology, are altering the future of healthcare right before our eyes. From simple charting to more complex decision assistance and interaction with medical equipment, health information technology encompasses a wide range of technologies. Reducing human mistakes, enhancing clinical outcomes, increasing care coordination, boosting practice efficiency, and collecting data over time is just some of the ways that health information technology may help improve and revolutionize healthcare. Also, there are many devices available for patients to contact their doctors and nurses. Such digital devices are intended for patients housed in hospital rooms or wards. In an emergency, the patient can click a button on these devices. It informs the doctor or nursing staff at a good time to come from the patient. This is one of the main benefits this technology brings to both patients and clinicians. With this type of device, doctors can contact patients and save lives without wasting time. To add more, currently, patient medical records are stored on computers. In most cases, the patient's complete health file is stored on the hospital computer or specialist. Patient files are stored in a database or cloud server. Keeping records in a computerized system is faster than paperwork. Instead of paper recording, it doesn't take long. in addition, there are many technologies to improve patient health care and treatment. Drug management technology, MR systems and electronic IV monitors are new technological devices that improve patient health management. Some may be afraid that technology will replace doctors, nurses, or healthcare providers, but the reverse is possible. Technology allows patients and health care providers to quickly move to where they need it. It's an enabler, not an obstacle. Technology can also greatly improve security. For example, pharmacy robots use barcodes to individually package and track drugs at the patient's bedside. This reduces the risk of human error. When interacting with private companies, people are already interacting with chatbots on a daily basis. In the future, maybe patients will be able to use the same technology when contacting their local clinic. Instead of wasting time for medical professionals to answer questions, computers provide all the answers they provide on behalf of computers. Patient chatbots are very scalable. Therefore, in the future, there may be a central chatbot that everyone uses to get medical advice before contacting a doctor. Technology can help and improve our lives only when we stand on their shoulders and are always (at least) two steps ahead. However, if this principle is followed, the collaboration of people and technology can lead to amazing results. In medicine and healthcare, digital technologies can help transform vulnerable health care systems into resilient ones, equalize the relationship between health care providers and patients, and provide cheaper, faster and more effective solutions to disease, and We might win the war against cancer, AIDS, and Ebola by using technology, or we might simply live in healthier communities with healthier people. citation: A. articles, (apa style) : 1.
