Write a 150-300 words on each discussion questions.

Discussion 4-1: If you are unfamiliar with EHRs conduct a
search and respond to the following statement:

An EHR is generated and maintained within the health care
organization to facilitate patient care.

Please support your responses with a reference.

Discussion 5-1: What is aggregate patient data? Who uses it
and how is it used? Provide examples in your response.

Discussion 5-2: It is said that 75% of bad-quality data is
caused by data-entry errors. You are a supervisor in the patient billing area.
What are some of the things you might do to improve data-entry procedures and
reduce operator errors?

Discussion 6-1: Define “high quality data” within
the context of the health care industry. Why is the acquisition and maintenance
of data more important to health care organizations than it might be to
companies in other business sectors? Please cite a reference source for your
response.

Discussion 6-2: In the textbook, Tan and Payton state that
business intelligence (BI) can be a competitive advantage for a health care
organization. What is BI and how can it be used to attain a competitive advantage?
Use the mini-case “The Metropolitan Medical Group,” found in chapter
10 of the textbook, as the basis for your response. Please cite your resources
to support your position.

Discussion 7-1: Explain some of the reasons that
practitioners have been resistant to new technologies. How important of a role
do you think practitioner resistance has played in the health care
organization’s adoption of technology? Please support your position with a
reference.

Discussion 7-2: In the textbook, Tan and Payton state:
“International standards in healthcare information systems have provided
the pivotal backbone to integrating clinical knowledge discovery.”

Explain what this statement means and provide examples where
international standards might advance clinical discoveries. Support your
response with a reference other than the textbook.

Discussion 8-1: Put on your “customer hat” and
visit a hospital website of your choice (and do not forget to cite your
selection at the end of your posting). What eHealth options did you find? Do
you think this particular hospital exploits eHealth to maximum advantage? What
functionality or information would you add to this hospital’s website to
improve eHealth services?

Discussion 8-2: Imagine that you are a public health advocate
residing in a country outside of the United States. Present one or two examples
of social, cultural, or political barriers to eHealth adoption in your country.
How would you address these barriers to secure buy-in from governmental
authorities? Please support your position with a reference.
