Patient portals offer many functions to allow a patient or proxy access to healthcare information to help improve patient healthcare. Within the patient portal a patient can access a portion of their health record; such as “medical history, health issues, medication lists, test results, care plans, allergy list,” schedule appointments, view and pay bills online, request medication refills, fill out forms electronically, and upload clinical information (Sayles 331). In addition, there are other functions that Surae Lucie took advantage of to help get her mother’s health back on track that are recommended by the National Learning Consortium. She used proxy access to access her elderly mother’s record, and sent messages to her mother’s healthcare providers to get her mother’s medication dosage and

Rob Pettigrew is the manager of technical systems and help desk center of Wyoming Medical Center in Casper, Wyoming. Protecting networks are getting harder as there are different types of devices being used by companies. An example of this is Wyoming Medical Center has four different classifications of PCs, PCs in the hallways for the staff to use, PCs at the nursing stations, PCs in offices, and PCs on that move between patient rooms. Pettigrew deployed Novell ZenWorks to 850 of the medical centers 900 PCs to ensure each one has the right software. With having multiple applications, medical software systems, and the different machine types, and restrictions make it difficult for Pettigrew to ensure proper protection for the network. Another concern is the

The number one thing I would look for in an EHR vendor’s product would be that it meets the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) EHR incentives program of meaningful use and has been certified by the ONC (Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology).  This will ensure that the EHR program meets the core functions established by the IOM (Institute Of Medicine) Report from July 31, 2003.  I am not going to go into the core functions here, they can be found in the e-book for this class.

"Christie reported that the doctor's laptop would not boot and showed only a black screen with a blinking cursor. Walked Christy through entering the system setup to verify boot settings. Walked her through running the Samsung Recovery feature to restore crucial Windows files. This issue was not resolved. Christy brought the computer to our office. Enabled UEFI boot which allowed the computer to boot into Windows, however, the system encountered a bluescreen and restarted. Booted into safe mode. Used a utility to determine the cause of the bluescreen and found it to be outdated wireless network adapter drivers. Downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the manufacturer, as well as the video adapter drivers. Searched

I comunicated ideas and points with my group during the lab and during the poster to better understand it. I introduced ideas that would make the poster look nicer with better sticky notes that were colorful and i talked to them about wh was doing what for the poster so everyone had something to do and no one was left with

Heartbleed is a security bug named after the Heartbeat request that is used for communication between computers. This bug was present in OpenSSL that is used in implementation of Transport Layer Security (TLS). It was first noticed in 2012 and was confirmed in 2014. This was registered under Common Vulnerability Exposure (CVE) databases as CVE-2014-0160. This was also known as “buffer over read vulnerability”, condition in which more data is being exposed than required. Heartbleed patch was released on April 7, 2014 and on that day only Heartbleed was disclosed publicly.

The assignment given to the peer student for the second week said to give as much information on the subject of the tree structure directory and explain some of the strength and weaknesses associated with the application.It seems to me that you have given the peer students in the class a wealth of information on the tree structure and the concepts that may support the achievement and the function that which will be applied to the command prompt function and its usage.

Two standards are used to compare the results from a DEXA which are known as “age matched” or “young normal.” The Z score is age-matched and the T score compares to the young normal.

Networks specialist use ping, trace route and tcpdump to find the exact bug rising factor in a system. But this type of monitoring techniques fails when the number of switches in the system increases. This type techniques fail in three reasons,

Sorry for late update mail. I've been working improving what's already done as I didn't have much else to do during last week. This is brief summary of things that I've done during last week.

Ensured all software changes were updated in publications which reduced shipment of obsolete documentation to end-users.

Retrieving the k-Nearest Neighbors to a given query (q) is one of the most fundamental problems in many application domains such as similarity search, pattern recognition, and data mining. In the literature, many techniques have been proposed to address the SkNN problem, which can be classified into two categories based on whether the data are encrypted or not: centralized and distributed. Centralized Methods: In the centralized methods, the data owner is assumed to outsource his/her database and DBMS functionalities (e.g., kNN query) to an untrusted external service provider, which manages the data on behalf of the data owner, where only the trusted users are allowed to query the

Patient portals are designed to allow the patient to see parts of the medical record. However, the majority of portals do not push the entire medical record into the portal. The reasons for this decision vary from system to system. There are two reason, while valid, do not allow the patient to become a full participant in healthcare. The first is security and access. Security pertains to mobile and web based use and how to protect the information. Access pertains to how the information is accessed and whom. The second is medical information sensitivity. This can become complicated and, in some cases, cause mistrust from the patient .The patient has the

There can be multiple risks. The risks in my project can be delay in setting up the database and servers, issue with the hardware, and unavailability of the resources due to unforeseen circumstances. Out of which I am considering the unavailability of the resources (major implication) and will answer the following questions.

From the article, both machines run faster, produce clearer films and meet all safety standards. So making a choice on which machine to buy will be based on other factors rather than these. Which machine brings the greatest benefit to the hospital and which is paid for by itself are among the factors to consider. Whichever one l chose between the two, I will have to deal with a problem called opportunity cost. Both the mammogram and the MRI machines cannot be purchased at the same time. The current budget allocated to the department cannot take care of both machines. This means one of machines will have to be selected over the other. Opportunity cost is the benefit, profit, or value of something that must be given up to acquire or achieve something else. (www.Businessdictionary .com) If l chose the mammogram machine over the MRI machine, then the opportunity cost is letting go of the MRI machine.
