A1 The advantage of the usability of a satellite facility would be the ability to have access to a more massive database. The database will increase productivity and decrease medical errors with the access to patient records. The disadvantage will be that the staff will have to learn new programs and some of the programs will not be familiar to the employee's which causes the team to find ways to get around multiple steps if not oriented to the new program. The advantage of the interoperability will be that the cost that occurs by the more critical entity will give the satellite the ability to have systems that they could not afford if they were a standalone entity. The ability to have the programs tested by the large entity will save the time for the satellite facility. There is a disadvantage for the satellite, the more substantial entity has programs that work well with their services that might not work well with the smaller satellite. The advantage of the scalability of the satellite would be the more significant amount of the data available for the small facility. The ability to have the information on the lower satellite increases patient safety. The disadvantage is that the programs used in more extensive services may not be efficient in smaller institutions. The advantage of compatibility is that the applications perform together. The satellite will have an increase in the data that’s will link into the larger facility. The applications will
One major benefits is health organizations can receive governmental subsidies, which can be an increase in funding or other financial accommodations. An additional benefit is HIPAA gives health organizations access to other creditable research throughout a variety of databanks systems. Having this system also, minimize the amount of paper that health professionals have to deal with. Using technology and these systems can be viewed as a more efficient and safer way to exchange health data with other health location. It also, helps when needing certain information from the patient they that maybe required for diagnoses, treatment, or other operations. Interoperability can be considered another benefit HIPAA can also, prevent health organization from experiencing lawsuits or having huge fines. For some health locations setting certain value, vision and missions come from the implementing of HIPAA. Possible drawbacks that can occur for HIPAA is when compensation is decreasing according to the balanced budget act standards. In addition, a drawback can surface from using other systems like outpatient payment system in which, causes a decrease in profit. To maintain these systems and programs cost, therefore, having to continuously update and maintain HIPAA can be come costly. However, if these organizations follow proper protocol the marginal benefits outweighs the marginal cost.
Interoperability is defined as the aptitude of one system to perform work in integration with other systems without asking for several hard work and effort. Interoperability turns out to be a quality of enhancing significance for information technology to make the
The information about the different types of databases that are available helps to explain the type of health care facilities use. The presentation of details on the architecture of databases and how they differ was the main topic of this
Compatibility and communication are the last two factors to consider. Each branch 's HR department will require a particular method of communication between the other branches. Compatibility with existing intranet protocols are considered necessary. The varying degree of equipment between each branch will be deemed compatible with multiple platforms to be best employed by each HR department branch office.
This paper will discuss how the Grand Hospital may develop and implement telemedicine into its organization. This discussion will include how Grand Hospital’s current health information system could affect the adoption of telemedicine, barriers to the successful adoption of telemedicine into the areas of radiology, behavioral health, and intensive care, and how Grand Hospital could proceed with integrating telemedicine into its current health care information system.
If significant advances in its special service lines are made it would allow the medical center to raise its capabilities considerably above those of other surrounding hospitals and function as a regional referral center for selected types of care (Zuckerman, 2005). An example of adding a new piece of advanced medical equipment is that our facility could be the first one to offer that service in the area. Especially if the new piece of equipment is a special new diagnostic tool; other medical treatment facilities in the area could place referrals to our which would increase our revenues even more or the patient could move to our practice at our facility. In the end the it might have cost some money but the return could be greater than without out the new equipment which could lead to more new advanced technology for the medical center.
Provding a safe and clean facility is extremely important, but should be expected. These are the basics of building any building, whether it be a department store or gas station. To form a medical facility that is efficient and productive is much more of a challenge. To ensure the behavioral health center performs smoothly all medications and treatments would be electronically monitored and recorded. This improves efficiency and helps keep nurses and other medical staff members organized. Medical facilities tend to be very large and spacious which makes it difficult for nurses or other staff members to get to all of the patients on time at exactly the right time intervals. The electronic monitoring system would help staff plan out their
Additionally, advancements in medical information technology would give doctors better access and improve patient care. In addition, increased technology could assist with monitoring and managing diseases. Medical advancements could decrease costs to your business by way of decreased insurance premiums for you and your employees.
The second advantage is the shared risks associated with outsourcing. If there are five different companies each producing one piece of an object or item to make a whole item, if something happens to one of the firms like filing for bankruptcy, the entire operation doesn’t suffer, only that one piece of the whole product. An example is a financial profile. I have in the Army what is called the Thrift Savings Program, like a civilian 401k. There are five different investment options and I elected to put 30% of my contributions into one fund, 30% in another, and then 40% in yet another. If one of those funds start going south, it is my hope that the other two compensate the first one.
There is improvement in financial, administrative and management information, decrease in the duplication of the records, decrease in the repetitive lab tests, and reduction in the cost associated with hospital stays. A lot of money is saved by electronically storing and managing volumes of information [1]. ITAA believes that an industry-wide investment in IT of $18.1 billion would yield gross savings of greater than $120 billion dollars for the health care industry over a six-year period. [2] Many billing errors, coding inaccuracy have been reduced and as a result of this, there is enhancement in revenue.
Our company Wireless Software Inc. is an innovative Internet-based company with gross revenues of more than $35 million dollars per year. Our company will be merging with a multinational company Skyguard Software Inc. of equal size, as a result of merging it produced Navitech Software Inc and we will be responsible for developing a project plan to strategically integrate all systems, including databases and infrastructure. Navitech Software Inc. global enterprise operations would provide best software products that will benefit to both companies. This report presents recommendations that allow Navitech Software Inc. to remain successful
Another benefit of telemedicine would be cost efficiencies. One of the main reasons why adopting and funding telehealth technologies/equipment was so important was to reduce and contain the cost of healthcare. Increased efficiency of improved management on chronic diseases, reduced travel times, shorter or fewer hospital stays, and shared health professional staffing has proven that telemedicine has reduced the cost of healthcare (americantelemed, 2012).
On the other hand, technology also presents the business with some cost effective solutions. R4 our clinical system is linked to each Practice and Head office, ensuring that information is easily accessible and transferrable between. As our acquisitions focuses more towards the north and southwest areas of the country, we have started to trial video conferencing for all field area business
The last advantage we will talk about is Telemedicine, which is remote performance of medical exams, analyses and procedures using computer networks and also specialized equipment. Some examples of where this computer system is used
Compatibility is the ability for software to work with each other or other devices, such as different versions of software that work with a particular desktop computer (Mastrian &McGonigle, 2017). An advantage of compatibility would be decreasing the risk of error in data entry, since one would be able to minimize the amount of data entry. For example, if a laboratory uses a software system that is compatible with a health information systems, once the result is documented in the lab system, it would be shared and with the HIS and stored in one location. A disadvantage to compatibility is keeping up to date with all current versions of the same software. This can be costly & could result in issue with performance if different versions are running together.
