What aspects of the topic readings do you find the most interesting? What is your view of the analysis of disease and healing in the readings? Explain. 

It is no secret that phones, computers, and technology in general have started to take over the world. It is safe to say that every one of our co-workers owns a cellphone of their own and has probably used it in the workplace at one point or another. “Information technology opens our windows and doors upon the world, allowing us to quickly communicate and exchange data and information within facilities, within healthcare delivery systems, and even across the globe” (Chamberlain College of Nursing, 2020). This can become tricky when put into legal terms in relation to patient safety and privacy. “Communication within the medical field is critical to ensure safe, timely delivery of healthcare” (Chandra, et al., 2023). Considering this patient scenario, it is both unethical and unlawful to take photos and send and receive patient photos on your personal cellphone. This can very easily violate the HIPAA policy because the patient photos are not sent under a secure network and can be breached through the firewall of your own personal cellphone by hackers. It is also possible that someone is using your phone and sees it mistakingly, or you decide to show friends or family the photos of another patients wound. With that being said, technology is very important in healthcare as it allows for more efficient healthcare when used appropriately. “Technology in healthcare today allows for global healthcare information systems (HISs), more specialized clinical information systems (CIS), and the electronic health record” (EHR) (Hebda et al., 2019). Many facilities have started to incorporate secure messaging devices in order to taking pictures, and send messages relating to patient data/care. This makes it so that the healthcare personnel are not taking any healthcare data home as they are to return the device at the end of their shift and the messages delete are a certain amount of time if not deleted previously by the employee. My facility has specific guidelines regarding the use of personal communication devices in patient care settings. This policy states that we are not allowed to take phones within the health care setting that could breech patient information. This includes taking pictures at the desk that could possibly include patient care charts and patient boards in the background of the photo. We do have access to our hospital email, and secure messaging services within applications on our personal cellphones but we have to download and encrypt our phone with certain secure firewalls in order to keep these apps so that the messages remain secure. This allows for us to use our personal phones, almost like in the scenario, but we would be messaging the PCP with a secure application that could not be hacked or shared.

Unit 4 Discussion (9/25-10/1) Evaluating Film

For this discussion, you should view the film 
Away from her (Egoyan et al., 2006). This week we will use the Munro short story “The bear came over the mountain? (2013) as the criteria against which to evaluate the film 
Away from her (Egoyan et al., 2006). You will be making a judgment based on the evidence from the story and the film to evaluate how well the film depicts the story and how well the story and the film depict Alzheimer's. 

· Do you think the film accurately depicts the characters in the short story?

· Do you think that the film justifies the themes of the story?

· Does the film accurately depict Alzheimer's?

· Does the film present as overly sentimental?

· Do you prefer the film or the short story? 

You should DO THREE SEPARATE POSTS ON THIS CONTENT ACTIVITY

Assignment Instructions: 

· Review the case study scenario below and the client's family history and medical profile information from unit 1.  

· Next, write a 6-8-page paper analysis of the client (including title and reference page) according to the assignment specifications, outline, and grading rubric. 

Case Study 1 Scenario:

Client, Sarah Collins, has chronic kidney disease. She receives dialysis twice a week. Today when Mrs. Collins arrives at the dialysis clinic, the nurse assesses Mrs. Collins and notes her blood pressure is 145/90 mm Hg and she has gained three pounds since her last visit. Mrs. Collins tells the nurse she was trying earlier to walk to her mailbox at the end of the driveway and couldn’t because she was out of breath. Mrs. Collins' husband and 16-year-old grandson are at the clinic with her.
