Today, health care is much more complex. The proliferation of information available to family and to their patients has fundamentally changed to suit in the global technology change. The information given to the family nowadays is not the end, the family is exposed and has an access to internet, computers where the read and can challenge any given information to them. We need to turn masses of education data, science, and clinical evidence into clinical knowledge. This information must be available to families, physicians, and care teams. And they must have access to technology and tools to make the right thing easier to do.

In communicable disease control, health education commonly includes an appraisal of what is known by a population about a disease, an assessment of habits and attitudes of the people as they relate to spread and frequency of the disease, and the presentation of specific means to remedy observed deficiencies. The National Health Education Standards (NHES) are written expectations for what students should know and be able to do by grades 2, 5, 8, and 12 to promote personal, family, and community health.

Knowledge has been democratized: patients now commonly search for information from the media. Patients before coming to your clinic the first search for information. The idea of patients seeking support and insight from communities of individuals with similar problems—pioneered more than 75 years ago by Alcoholics Anonymous—has been adopted by groups ranging from patients with cancer to families of patients with Alzheimer’s. But in today’s incarnations, the meetings are online, not in the local church basement. [Evin MD.com] Not only does today’s patient expect to have a virtual relationship with his or her doctor, but the data that inform this relationship everything from the media for any condition can now be wirelessly transmitted from a digital device to the physician’s computer, where it can be analyzed and acted upon. In the old days, the office visit (or the hospitalization) was the only way to meet your doctor or nurses but by the information age, everything has
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets security standards for safeguarding important patient health information that is being stored and maintained in analog and digital forms. As new technologies continue to facilitate the healthcare industry’s transition to paperless processes, health care providers, insurance companies, and other institutions are also growing increasingly dependent on electronic information systems to manage their HIPAA compliance programs. As a result, the safety and security of sensitive health data has become a major concern across the board. Security Risks and Challenges Today, health care professionals are using technology extensively in almost every aspect of the practice.

Telehealth is an up and coming form of virtual medical care that has entered the health care industry the past few years. Telehealth allows the medical professional provide care to the patient without an in-office visit. Types of care that you can get through telehealth include receiving results, mental health treatment, skin conditions, urgent care issues (cold, coughs, and stomach aches), surgical follow ups, physical therapy, and prescription management (telehealth.gov, 2023). After the presentation my perception of telehealth did change.
Electronic Health Records and Patient Confidentiality Technology has become an essential part of our everyday life therefore, it makes sense that doctors and hospitals get rid of the old fashioned paper charting and use technology to access patient records. Electronic health records (EHR) provide quick access to information, as doctors no longer have to wait for other providers to fax previous records to them. The accessibility of Electronic Health Records assist medical providers to make quick medical care decisions, by accessing previous care provided to patients including treatment and diagnosis. Quick access to information through EHR enables health care providers to treat patients faster as there is no need for records to be mailed or
Health care is a term that describes a broad range of services. Members of a health care team range from family members to neurosurgeons, but each member of a patient’s health care team plays a critical role in optimizing patient care. Therefore, it is important to recognize and appreciate all the players in the medical field and their contributions to health care. I was drawn to the medical field because of my love of science and endless curiosity. However, it was not until high school that I narrowed my science passion down to human science.

Problem Identification Currently, the world faces a shortage of medical professionals as the population continues to increase and with more incidences of chronic illnesses. With the increased the cost of healthcare, telehealth offers an efficient tool for delivery of quality care. The problems that prompted the development of telehealth include: • Large population increase in the U.S. With a 20 percent estimated rise between years 2008 to 2030 (Hein, 2009). • The constraint in number of educated, trained as well as licensed healthcare professionals •rise in chronic diseases incidences globally, such as diabetes and heart failures •the obligation to offer quality care to the elderly, and the home-bound, as well as the physically disabled population
The technological advancements have not only helped nurses to be better informed, but have also helped the clients to be better informed. Informed patients and families can help the nurses and HCPs by speaking up about symptoms they have noticed that the health care team may have been unable to witness or may have look past. Technology being available to everyone is mostly a good luxury, at the same time, many people can be misinformed and cause more trouble demanding treatments or care that are unsuitable for them because they read about it online. 3.
is sometimes unpredictable, continuous changes happened and happening, that we do not have any control of any of it. Every year the cost and expenses are getting higher, that average citizens could not afford to get a basic care. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, it’s about $10,000 or more per person a year of expending for healthcare only, and the cause of this because of a stronger economy, faster growth in medical prices and an aging population are driving the trend. This mean that every healthcare organization needs to adapt to the current flow of their own healthcare system, with abusing or bending any rules and regulations from the feds. So, healthcare organizations and with their management team and leaders are having a quite tough time.
Kaiser Permanente has been equipped since 2007 with Health Connect; which is the largest private electronic health record implementation in the world.

As an integral part of the healthcare team, nursing has evolved tremendously. In Nurse of the Future Nursing Core Competencies a picture was painted of what the future of nursing looks like. From my own opinion I do feel that a reform or evolution in nursing education is required to create competent nurses of the future. Current nursing school programs are academic heavy with an emphasis on skills. While growing competency in clinical skills is necessary, there is much more to the future of nursing than being highly skilled.
Health promotion and health education have many similarities, despite them being distinctly different. Health promotion and health education are both very important, especially when being used as tools in the hands of different authority figures and policy makers. Health promotion and health education both advocate for health in a systematic way or as a planned application, however we learned in class that anyone can promote health, but not everyone can be a health educator when it comes to health education. Health promotion entails methods by enabling individuals to gain control over the determinants of their overall health. The prerequisites of health are addressed by developing healthy public policies.
