The Future of Healthcare Informatics

Write an essay addressing each of the following points/questions. Be sure to completely answer all the questions for each number item. There should be three sections, one for each item number below, as well the introduction (heading is the title of the essay) and conclusion paragraphs. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper. Support your ideas with at least three (3) scholarly citations using APA citations in your essay. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover page and reference page do not count towards the minimum word amount. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.

1. Identify the current role of the informatics nurse and predict the future role of the informatics nurse, based on scholarly sources.
2. Explain what is meant by connected health.  Provide three examples of connected health in today’s healthcare environment.  Explain the benefits and drawbacks of each.
3. In what ways has informatics impacted public health – please provide at least three examples.

The purpose of this assignment is to create an educational program that supports the implementation of risk management strategies in a health care organization.

In this assignment, you will develop an outline for an “in‐service”‐style educational risk management program for employees of a particular health care organization that will then form the basis for a PowerPoint presentation in Topic 5. Select your topic for this educational session from one of the proposed recommendations or changes you suggested in the Risk Management Program Analysis – Part One assignment to enhance, improve, or secure compliance standards in your chosen risk management plan example.

Create a 500‐750-word comprehensive outline that communicates the following about your chosen topic:

1. Introduction: Identify the risk management topic you have chosen to address and why it is important within your health care sector.
2. Rationale: Illustrate how this risk management strategy is lacking within your selected organization’s current risk management plan and explain how its implementation will better meet local, state, and federal compliance standards.
3. Support: Provide data that indicate the need for this proposed risk management initiative and demonstrate how it falls under the organization’s legal responsibility to provide a safe health care facility and work environment.
4. Implementation: Describe the steps to implement the proposed strategy in your selected health care organization.
5. Challenges: Predict obstacles the health care organization may face in executing this risk management strategy and propose solutions to navigate or preempt these potentially difficult outcomes.
6. Evaluation: Outline your plan to evaluate the success of the proposed risk management program and how well it meets the organization’s short-term, long-term, and end goals.
7. Opportunities: Recommend additional risk management improvements in adjacent areas of influence that the organization could or should address moving forward.

In the response post, include the following:

• What suggestions would you offer the speaker to strengthen the persuasive speech?
• What advice would you give the speaker?

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Discuss how the PSQRD framework might have been better used during this project’s planning phase to identify strategies that promote the adoption and use of the technology.

·        How might this framework have led to more significantly improved patient outcomes?

Cognitive behavior Therapy vs Rational EmotiveBehaviour Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psychological therapy used in treating patients with depression and to incite happiness in the patient. The therapy approaches the problem by targeting at the solution to the problem more than going back to the causes. On the other hand, rational emotive behavioral therapy, majorly known as REBT, is also another psychotherapy used to solve problems concerning stress. This therapy uses the replacement of self-rejecting feelings in a depressed person with self-believe and confidence (Ellis, 2013). The therapy challenges the rationale of bad thoughts about self.

There are a number of similarities that both therapies share, these include: Both of the therapies employ psychoeducation in the treatment of stress, the therapies also teach the patient on how to employ therapeutic techniques in treating themselves (Szentagotai, David, Lupu, & Cosman, 2008). Another similarity between the two therapies is that emphasis is laid on the importance of cognitive psychological dysfunction and they all focus on changing the behavior of the patient through their various different approaches. 

Differences in the therapies

Despite these similarities, the two therapies have variations which distinguish them. These differences include; Self- acceptance: the rational emotive behavior therapy focuses on the self-acceptance of the patient. It encourages the patient to accept themselves back and try to see the positive in them and stop blaming themselves about the past. The cognitive behavior therapy, on the other hand, is more concerned about the self-esteem of the patient (Szentagotai, David, Lupu, & Cosman, 2008). 

The philosophy: the rational emotive behavior therapy earns more credit because it concerns in digging deeper into the philosophic causes of stress and try to encourage the patient to focus on the positive and wipe out the negative from their minds. Cognitive behavior therapy is attached more importance in the future of the patient rather than the cause of the problem. The therapy builds the self-esteem of the patient through encouragement and giving them the hope of a better future.

Solution approach: while the rational emotive behavior therapy approaches the problem from the past point of view and tries to educate the patient on the importance of viewing the positive side of the problem than focusing on the negative. The cognitive behavior therapy, on the other hand, approaches it from the current point of the situation and start tech the patient to attach value on themselves.

The recommended therapy

The cognitive behavior model is the best therapy to be recommended for a client. I will base my decision on various factors implying that this type of therapy is superior. The philosophical approach to the problem in this therapy is realistic since it considers the personality of the patient as the main source of the solution (Dobson, & Dozois, (Eds.), 2019). The therapy educates the patient on their own importance as compared to the issue which is a mere episode in their lives. The therapy also has more persuasive techniques that can be used to convince a patient to transform their thinking.

One of the objectives of this course is to push students to evaluate their own biases, prejudices or misunderstandings. Students will, therefore, write a reflection paper (5-7 pages long) that assesses their own preconceptions about issues or people. Students may not feel comfortable admitting or writing about their biases but it is important to remember that the first step to solving a problem is admitting that you have one. 

You could write about a certain episode that happened in the past or you could write about a continuing struggle. Assess that prejudice through the lens of theories. No one is born prejudices but we learn it as we grow up. In your case, how did you learn about the prejudice, how do you believe you internalized it to the point where you started disliking the specific people/group? Use theories to analyze this learned behavior so that we know how behaviors are learned and imbibed in our lives.

You must include the following sections in your paper:

• Introduction – name the prejudice/bias, definitions, issues or groups you are referring to, any particular experience that led to it, 
• sources of bias
• Your thoughts, feelings, preconceived notions
• Relevant theories on how this belief was learned, reinforced
• Theories like system perspective, conflict perspective, social constructive perspective, exchange and choice perspective (these are the theory of human behavior)
• How it informed your behavior or your worldview
• What you are doing about it

Consider the role of stakeholders in addressing a health problem affecting a particular community. Why is it important to engage these individuals at all stagesof a health promotion initiative? (Your comments should delineate particular stages at which stakeholder participation is most critical.)
