In this operation data transmitted over the network must broke down into distinct, methodical steps, in which certain actions will take place that must be done within that specific step only. These specific steps contain their own rules, procedures, and protocols that must be passed in order, in the same manner on each computer within the network.

...Electronic Health Records Abstract I am a complete advocate for switching to computer-based medical records. This is done completely electronically, versus the other paper method of dealing with medical records. Using hard copies of patient records are still commonly used in hospitals and doctor’s offices, but are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Healthcare professionals are trading in the traditional pen and notepad for electronic data entry and storage devices. Keeping records electronically allows all healthcare professionals involved to have access to all of the patient’s medical history, status of immunizations and lab results as well as x-rays. A record of the patient’s known allergies and medications, and billing and personal information such as height and weight. Electronic Health Records The submission of medical health records electronically has been helping the medical field, hospitals and doctors offices greatly since being implemented. Using electronic health records offers much better continuity, communication, coordination and accountability of patient records. I read in an article about EHRs and sums up what people using the computerized electronic health records feel, it seems that building a virtualization of EHRs can be very expensive, but ultimately works well and it does everything that they need it to. Hudson, NY-based Columbia Memorial Hospital has used an EHR to support its clinical works system since early 2010, one that serves 26 clinical locations...

...Jonathan Greene GS1145 Research Essay-April 11, 2015 Research Essay (New Awareness in Cybersecurity) The Internet has become a hacker’s playground, and cybersecurity is no longer a choice for major companies looking to protect themselves and their customer’s (US News, 2015). Hackers are costing consumers and companies between $375 and $575 billion, annually, a number only that is only going to increase as online information stealing expands with increased Internet use. When it comes to cybersecurity, it’s not just credit cards or personal data at risk. Internet-connected transportation systems, medical devices, electronic health records, household appliances and wearable technology need to be protected in addition to the power grid, financial institutions and government secrets (US News, 2015). In an effort to increase awareness to the need of cybersecurity, CyberPatriot – (The National Youth Cyber Education Program), for example, was established in 2009 by the nonprofit Air Force Association in an effort to generate interest among high school students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and encourage them to consider careers in cybersecurity. The organization originally thought that high school was the right age group for shaping attitudes about cybersecurity and, more broadly, STEM as a career opportunity. An October 2013 study commissioned by Raytheon, a major U.S. government defense contractor, determined that high school students might...

...The Up and Coming of Technology BIS-220 April 3, 2013 Charles "Page" Waller The Up and Coming of Technology Information technology is one of the most in demand fields in the world, because of the fact it has many influences in government policy that have passed through the years. The Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970 and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 were just a couple of policies effected by the impact of information technology. The policies were made to protect the American citizens in ways of obtaining free credit reports and the privacy of personal medical records, which individually will be discussed in the essay. "You hear the terminology Fair Credit Reporting Act and you think that's an act that only applies to credit reports," Paul Stephens (Dilworth, 2012). One would think this quote is right, but it is the complete opposite. In 1970, the Fair Credit Reporting Act was established to help citizens from getting ridiculed by massive organizations that wanted to use his or her credit reports against them. The organizations acquired the information that was only available to them and was not intended to be shared. The policy permitted everyone the right to keep track of his or her own credit report. This gives the companies restricted access to credit reports which under F.C.R.A one cannot share information with anyone, cannot affect him or her from getting a job, one needs permission to access information, and one can...

...demand for healthcare services, and a huge demand for more prescription medications. The demand that was placed on the pharmaceutical industry brought about an urgent need for the teaching of professional ethics in schools of pharmacy. The measures taken in response to this demand were very necessary as the public now places such high expectations on pharmaceutical professionals, and rightfully so. They have access to both lifesaving and life-ending drugs and they possess knowledge that the common person finds intimidating. Patients feel a sense of vulnerability with all of the aspects involved with the industry that they may not understand such as the electronic transmission of information, electronic records, e-scripts, delivery and the complexity of health interventions, along with legal limitations, the many different medical specializations and the sharp rise in the use of generic pharmaceuticals (Klepser, et. al., 2008) It is possible that a pharmaceutical professional may find themselves in vulnerable positions as well, feeling trapped between their own personal ethics and the liabilities placed on them by their profession. They may find themselves sometime questioning as to whether they can fully uphold them. Furthermore, new drug regimens have increased in complexity, generating such related professional challenges as drug interactions, drug product selection, and therapeutic drug interchanges, suggesting new professional roles and relationships for pharmacists (Buerki...
