One of the biggest decisions that any healthcare organization can make today is the selection of a new healthcare information system. With so many options available today, how would you go about selecting the best information system for your own community hospital facility? Whom would you involve in the analysis and decision-making process? Finally, what criteria would you use in making the final choice for a new system?

I would go by selecting the best information system for my own community hospital facility by the deciding factors of what is needed to provide services to a patient in a hospital. I would involve all employees who help make clinical decisions for patient care and business / strategic decisions. These would be all of the following systems that I feel would be needed. Patient monitoring, Nursing information, Laboratory information, Pharmacy information, Radiology information, Respiratory care information, Physical medicine information, & Medical decision support. The criteria used to make the final choice for a new system would be which one benefits the most. Considering it is a community hospital I’m deciding for, I say all systems.

Advancements in technology affect the way of many things in organizations’ operations are done in many different ways.  Automation is already in play with factories when boxing and shipping was once done by a human it is now done by a computer controlling it.  Information technology is used widely in most if not all businesses now days.  In my line of work we have all of our records and scheduling through a computer based program.  The internet effects it by buying and selling on line.  It is easier to purchase something with a click on Amazon vs having to drive, park then go inside a store to purchase something.  Technological advancements has effected my life by making it easier for me to function in a daily task.  I hat e saying that but it is true.  Take this school, all on line which saves me the time and money having to go to a classroom to take a class.  Within my job we only use computers to do our daily work.  Whether making appointments or emailing with our doctors it has become so much easier having everything in one place versus the old way with charts and having to hunt someone down to ask a question.

 Who are the demanders and suppliers in health policies? Describe what motivates each in a political marketplace. 

In not less than 75 words each give your personal opinion in two separate paragraph to Abravi Sadji  and Sasha Bluitt 

 Abravi Sadji 

In the health policy market, a group of people make the authoritative decisions and the other group pursue specific decisions to be made. It is a market with sellers (suppliers) and buyers (demanders). Both the suppliers and the demanders seek to reach positive and acceptable outcomes by reaping benefits and incurring costs (Longest, 2016).
The demanders include the individuals seeking policies that are pertinent to their own health and to the people they care for; and the individuals for whom these policies can result in other benefits such as economic benefits (Longest, 2016). Demanders are motivated by these wants and needs when participating in a political marketplace.
The suppliers, on the other hand, include the legislative, executive and judicial branches in a government since policies are made by these branches. The motivations of these branches, although their roles differ, can be the interest of the public and/or the self-interest such as seeking reelection, money, fame.(Longest, 2016).
Health policies are impacted by the capabilities of one group to influence the actions, behaviors and decisions of the other group (Longest, 2016).

The demanders of health policies are comprised of the following: individuals, organizations, and interest groups. Individuals, organizations and interest groups are people in pursuit of health or those who are after economic advantage. Interest groups refer to an organization of people with similar policy goals. There are more than 23,000 non profit interest groups. Interest groups are essential to policy making because they serve as a vehicle for individual members to find a way to voice their policy demands into a unified voice that in return influences the making of health policies. The suppliers of health policies are the following: Elected officers/legislators, executive and bureaucrats, and judiciary. The objective of both suppliers are demanders of health policy is for these major players to reach a mutually satisfying and beneficial arrangement. One that enable the party to obtain the tangible and intangible rewards they intend to reap.

 Health education & promotion strategies in poor communities One of the primary roles of health educators is to pursue new and better ways to facilitate the learning process. As a health professional you must study individual learning style as a strategy to uncover each individuals full potential for acquiring knowledge. Also, important is the need to develop an enhanced understanding of the impact of for example poverty has on an individuals learning. The U.S. Census bureau (2015) reports the poverty line for a family of three is $20,090.00, and that of a family of four is $24,250.00. The human cost of poverty include: 1) doing without daily necessities(food, clothing, shelter, transportation, etc.), 2) enduring elevated levels of stress, 3) inequality and limited access to services, and 4) experiencing diminished potential. 

 Now, given the above circumstance (poverty) what strategies would you implement if you were assigned to conduct health promotion activities in a community stricken by poverty. 

1. How do you approach this community? 

2. What strategy would you use to ensure you are accepted in the community?3. How do you ensure learning is taking place and bad health behaviors are being changed? 

 Remember: Obstacles you are likely to encounter in low income or poor communities include: 

Interpersonal obstacles

  Impaired cognitive development Physical health issues Low self esteem Higher external locus of control (e.g. God will take care of it) Mental health concerns 

Environmental Obstacles 

Limited economic resources Unstable housing or homelessness Limited social support Family crisis Discrimination

Descriptive statistics are an important part of public health research. Nearly every quantitative research project starts with descriptive statistics. Descriptive statistics summarize the data in a meaningful way and describe the basic features of the data. Descriptive statistics can take many forms. They may include numeric and/or graphical representations of the data. They may explain the central tendency or spread of the data. They also may help to reveal certain characters for further analysis or identify potential variables for inferential analysis.

For this Discussion, review the descriptive statistics you are using for your Scholar Practitioner Project.

Post a description of the statistics you will include in your descriptive analysis for your Scholar Practitioner Project. Explain the rationale behind using these specific statistics, including which statistics you chose not to use and why. Support your response
