  • CDS Systems, EBP and Clinical Guidelines

    888 Words  | 2 Pages

    Similar to Global Positioning Systems (GPS) provide drivers with directions, detours, alternative routes, and alerts, Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems provide health care professionals with guidance for important decisions associated with patient care. These systems have many capabilities including synthesizing patient information, suggesting diagnostic tests, providing alerts for life-threatening situations, recommending treatment options, and providing relevant evidence and best practices. Nonetheless, just as GPSs, CDS systems are not usually perfect as evident in the ongoing evolution of their design specifications and functionalities. Some of the major issues that are still evolving for CDS systems include alert fatigue and integration of evidence-based practice (EBP) resources and clinical guidelines. One of the major areas that can benefit from the adoption and integration of clinical decision support systems is community health nursing. These systems can be used together with evidence-based medicine to help improve the quality of health and patient care in community health nursing.

  • Advantages Of Z Codes

    One limitation is that because there are 150,000 codes. It would take a significant amount of time to learn the codes and the procedures associated with the codes. Another limitation is that z codes are so particular and require professionals to specify. As a result, if a professional does not note all aspects of a patient visit, an encounter could end up improperly coded and misbilled. If professionals make mistakes when coding and specifying, they will lose out on money. Another issue is retraining professionals. To make sure there is efficiency, professionals should be trained on the new codes and the procedures that follow. However, this would take up a lot of time and

  • Should we consider non-monogamy?

    1750 Words  | 4 Pages

    Have you ever considered cheating on your partner? Studies show that there is a 76% chance of either partner in a marriage committing infidelity (Ferrer 55). In light of the common occurrence of infidelity within monogamous relationships in our society, would it not be logical to consider the possibility that non-monogamous relationship dynamics might be appropriate for some individuals? The idea seems to be on people’s minds, since it has also been coming up in popular culture lately, in shows like “Big Love” and “Sister-Wives”, both of which focus on polygamy, the practice of being married to more than one person at a time. Additionally, there have been many articles written about polyamory, the practice of having more than one intimate relationship at one time with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved, and non-monogamy recently. One such article is “Beyond Monogamy and Polyamory,” written by Jorge Ferrer, Ph.D., who is the Chair of the Dept. of East-West Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and was published in ReVision Journal. Ferrer’s goal in writing this article is to expose readers, mainly other scholars, to the possibility of non-monogamous relationships, and the concept of sympathetic joy. While I agree with much of what Ferrer is saying in his article, particularly his points about sympathetic joy, jealousy, genetics, and his responses to the arguments against polyamory, the fact that he overlooks the religions that do not support his theory, while using others to support his theory, weakens his argument.

    When I first heard about Medicine 9119 I thought the class would be an hour per week of medical jargon filled lecturing. I was eager for the class because I anticipated being drowned with new information, however I was also terrified because of how clueless I would be compared to everyone else. Now, after three lectures in this class, I realize that Medicine 9119 will teach me how to better operate in a group of intellectuals, prepare myself in school by strengthening my academic habits, think critically, and recognize multiple disciplines in a problem. Learning about word dumping, flow charts, and concept maps has helped me see how to improve my study habits. I can practice drawing flow charts and concepts maps while reading a material, or if I want to draw them
