...Mountain View Community Hospital Case Study Deabra Hardrick-Crump DBM/502 September 30, 2013 Warren Von Worley Mountain View Community Hospital Case Study Mountain View Community Hospital has opportunities for improvement in its data management and security functions. The data governance functions will be analyzed, as well as the data quality and data integration of the existing and newly implemented systems for the Mountain View Community Hospital. Mountain View Community Hospital’s information technology team will evaluate their current operational, clinical, and financial information (Hoffer, Ramesh, & Toppi, 2011). The integration of these systems will be beneficial to the hospital and its staff members. The system that the Mountain View Community Hospital is planning on implementing is an EMR system. This system would link all the different departments and information within application in those departments. Almost all forms would become electronic and this would eliminate uncertainties in illegible handwriting. All this information entered would automatically be uploaded into a database. This new system could even catch dangerous interactions with medications that the patient may be taking. This new system will make the jobs of the physicians and staff members a lot more efficient, and productive. This system allows their visits with their patients to be faster while still being informative and accurate. Having a larger amount of information at their...

He tries to conquer an illness plaguing a village located in Haiti. After the success of curing the catchment area of Cange and the villages surrounding it, he spreads his treatment in other underprivileged places around the world. There is no book with the exception of perhaps Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace ... One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson, the story of an American author who decides to build schools in Pakistan, that has as an influential an effect on the American contribution to cater to impoverished societies internationally. While Mortenson wrote about his intense need to reach out to the community of Korphe, Kidder gives an accurate account of Dr. Farmer’s relentless efforts to cure an entire village as well as those around it by following him through his struggles and annotating for the world to see.

Generally, determination is described as “to settle or decide (a dispute, question, etc.) by an authoritative or conclusive decision” (http://dictionary.reference.com).

...Running head: HEALING HOSPITAL: A DARING PARADIGM Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm Lisa Overfield GCU Spirituality in Health Care HLT 310V Emory Davis January 11, 2013 Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm The area of nursing and healthcare is an ever changing field that constantly challenges healthcare professionals to deliver the most effective and cost efficient care to the public. As the waves of change rage a paradigm shift often falls in its wake. Looking at hospitals as healing communities as opposed to the traditional place to cure a disease is an example of a current paradigm shift taking place in healthcare today. Viewing hospitals as Healing Communities can change the way moral issues and work conditions are approached, perceived, and managed. Community is defined as people in the same place operating under the same laws working together for a common goal. Also there is an element of ownership among community members. Thus in a Healing Community each member not only has an opportunity to heal but a responsibility and obligation to promote healing through their words, actions, and attitudes. This paper will address components of healing hospitals and their relationship to spirituality, challenges and barriers of creating a healing environment, and Biblical support of the healing hospital concept. There are 3 main components of healing hospitals, a healing physical environment, the integration of work design and technology, and a culture of radical...

...Arts Program (FAP), was responsible for reshaping the cultural agenda and “marked a significant turning point in the production of black culture.”1 The artists of the Great Depression built upon the work done during the Harlem Renaissance. New Deal art extended and affirmed art that translated “politics into cultural terms.”2 The FAP looked for a “new sense of authentic American culture – one that championed national values and traditions by celebrating regional and racial diversity.”3 As a result, many artists worked to place African Americans in the historical narrative of the United States while combating long held stereotypes. None were less important than Aaron Douglas, Jacob Lawrence, Dox Trash, and the creators of the Harlem Hospital murals. Throughout the decade, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples (NAACP) continued its struggles to gain social and political equality for African Americans. The NAACP employed many avenues to achieve its goals. An Art Commentary on Lynching and the Marian Anderson concert were two such...
