Automated Health Care Information Systems

Automated Health Care Information System  are comprehensive, integrated information systems designed to manage the medical, administrative, financial and legal aspects of a hospital and its service processing. It can have easy access to patient data to generate varied records, including classification based on demographic, gender, age, and so on. It is especially beneficial at ambulatory (out-patient) point, hence enhancing continuity of care. As well as, Internet-based access improves the ability to remotely access such data. It helps as a decision support system for the hospital authorities for developing comprehensive health care policies.Efficient and accurate administration of finance, diet of patient, engineering, and distribution of medical aid.Improved monitoring of drug usage, and study of effectiveness. This leads to the reduction of adverse drug interactions while promoting more appropriate pharmaceutical utilization. Enhances information integrity, reduces transcription errors, and reduces duplication of information entries.

It is helpful in this modern years and it has a big help in the society.

A Telenursing HELPS.

             In this modern years, nursing evolved in the used of technologies. We are already done on those things that we have a hard time doing things in the hospitals, making nurses notes, making physical assessment and plotting those vital signs to those hundreds of patients. Telenursing has a big help in the nursing world today. 
             Nurses are a central part of the use of technologies in health care. As such, telenursing is not a new role for nurses. There is evidence of existence of the role of telenurses for more than 25 years. In fact, any nurse who has provided guidance, education, or lab results over the telephone has taken part in telenursing. However, telenursing can also include more sophisticated systems than the telephone, such as two-way audio and video systems, Internet, satellite, and other communication systems. Telenursing is gaining increasing attention as the role of the telenursing is being realized.
             Anyhow, there are advantages and disadvantages in telenursing. The advantages are it can be not a hassle part to the health care provider and to the patient because you only have to dial to the telephone, you only have to have a video call in the computer and talk to your doctor or nurse incharge, and you dont need to line up in the hospital to be entertained first. but the disadvantages are the patient are not strictly monitored by the doctors and nurses because they are not seen and assess physically and the information might not be mistakenly diagnosed. Unlike to those who really come to the hospital to have a check up, they can be assessed properly by the doctors and monitored promptly for any signs and symptoms may occur during hospitalization.
              In short, the past century has seen a period of phenomenal technological advancement, the integration of technology with our health care delivery system is almost the norm and the potential for these continuing trends will be highlighted.

It all happens because of INTERNET..

                    Nowadays, most of the people uses Internet, at home, school, offices, hospitals and anywhere just to easily communicate to their friends, colleagues and love ones. Modern technologies like computer and internet is very helpful. Before, it takes many books to research just to find a answer to many assignments. but now, with the help of the internet, we can easily research the answers of our assignments and it made our project can be also found there. Today, social networking sites are very popular, not by just teenagers but also adults are fun of using it. We can easily found some of our friends and relatives that are long time missing. And the celebrities! Our idols, our favorite celebrities, we can also easily communicate to them by simply tweet them and say hello.. right?
                     The internet is a world-wide network of computers linked together by telephone wires, satellite links and other means. For simplicity's sake we will say that all computers on the internet can be divided into two categories: servers and browsers.                     Servers are where most of the information on the internet "lives". These are specialised computers which store information, share information with other servers, and make this information available to the general public.
                     Browsers are what people use to access the World Wide Web from any standard computer. Chances are, the browser you're using to view this page is either Netscape Navigator/Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. These are by far the most popular browsers, but there are also a number of others in common use.
                    When you connect your computer to the internet, you are connecting to a special type of server which is provided and operated by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The job of this "ISP Server" is to provide the link between your browser and the rest of the internet. A single ISP server handles the internet connections of many individual browsers - there may be thousands of other people connected to the same server that you are connected to right now.
              
USE THE INTERNET WISELY..

Easily ACCESS!

              Microsoft Office Access, is also known as Microsoft Access, is a relational database management system from Microsoft that combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software-development tools. 
              It is a member of the Microsoft Office suite of applications, included in the Professional and higher editions or sold separately. On May 12 2010, the current version of Microsoft Access 2010 was released by Microsoft in Office 2010; Microsoft Office Access 2007 was the prior version.
             MS Access stores data in its own format based on the Access Jet Database Engine. It can also import or link directly to data stored in other applications and databases.
               Software developers and data architects can use Microsoft Access to develop application software, and "power users" can use it to build simple applications. Like other Office applications, Access is supported by Visual Basic for Applications, an object-oriented programming language that can reference a variety of objects including DAO (Data Access Objects), ActiveX Data Objects, and many other ActiveX components. Visual objects used in forms and reports expose their methods and properties in the VBA programming environment, and VBA code modules may declare and call Windows operating-system functions.

Ways on sharing of information through network system


Nowadays, people can easily share of information in any part of the world. New discoveries and high technologies are now widely used and established that we can now easily access information directly.

Computer networks allow you to share files with friends, family, coworkers and customers. Before the Internet and home networks became popular, files were often shared using floppy disks. Nowadays, some people still use CD-ROM / DVD-ROM disks and USB keys for transfering their photos and videos, but networks give you more flexible options. Network file sharing is the process of copying files from one computer to another using a live network connection. This article describes the different methods and networking technologies available to help you share files.

Technologies has many advantages and disavantages. but somehow it makes our daily living easier. We must take care and not abuse the technology that we are enjoying right now because all these things are be used in good purpose.

Can automation save the nurse?

Pamela Cipriano, PhD, RN, FAAN and Chair of the American Academy of Nursing Workforce Commission on Technology in Nursing,  describes the current state of automation  in nursing practice.   Nurses  in all venues are eager to embrace technology to improve their work environment, eliminate waste in their work, and to decrease errors.  Pam also describes the data collection process - Technology Drill Down (TD2) -  used in this study to collect data  and learn what technology nurses find essential to support improved patient care delivery.

It is good that nowadays the hospital setting are using computers to make the work of a nurse to become easy. Because in hospital, the nurses are the one who works a lot on paper works. I agree that automation can save the nurse because the nurse can have more time of taking care of patient bedside and have more time spending to the patient rather than paper works.

My friends

Friend's an attitude within you,
A talk you can always continue
A feeling you have known awhile,
A thought that sparks an inner smile.

A friend's a person you hold dear,
Who ventures far, yet stays quite near,
Whose presence sets the spirit free,
Who brings out candor and honesty.

A friend shares all your joys and tears,
Feels triumph with you, knows your tears,
Accepts your strengths and weaknesses too,
Won't let small things dull friendship's hue.

A friend will walk life's miles with you,
And nourish values sound and true,
Though paths may sometimes drift apart,
True friendship never leaves the heart
