Healthcare Information Technology Trends Healthcare has not been left behind in the application of information technology for increased efficiency and increased quality of healthcare. The general trend in healthcare is to make quality healthcare accessible to as many people as possible in the shortest time possible. To achieve this, technologies such as telehealth, wearables, IoT and artificial intelligence have been employed to make data and information sharing and analysis easier and fast. These technologies ensure there is an effective clinical decision support and patient monitoring. The continued use of these technologies has the capacity to improve nursing practice by ensuring there is effective patient-centred care and healthcare delivery is efficient. However, there is an inherent risk in the application of information technology in healthcare. The use of IT in healthcare leads to the collection of huge amounts of patient data, and when such data is computerized, there is a security and privacy risk. The potential benefit of using IT is that the data collected make patient care easier and the assessment of healthcare outcomes. However, such data can be accessed…

My SMART goal My SMART goal is to avoid eating high-calorie food, eating plenty of vegetables and fruits as well as doing regular exercise. I have managed to achieve part of my weekly goals. I increased my vegetables and fruit intake. I took fruits every morning for the last four days and every evening during the previous five days. I have also managed to jog for almost one kilometer for three days in the previous week.  I can, therefore, say that I achieved my SMART goal through motivation. The need to stay fit played a critical role in motivating me. I thought that jogging is tiresome. I strained the second day, but I felt that because it was my first day. The soreness of my muscles discouraged me from jogging the second day. I felt also like the results would not appear as quickly as I expected and that it would be a long journey and sacrifice to achieve my goals. I focussed on the benefits despite the negative thoughts. Concentrating on the positive thoughts made me feel that the…

Constitutional Amendment What is the topic based on? How is it important? With the COVID-19, the disease resulting from the Coronavirus, now being declared a global pandemic, economists are getting concerned about the impact of the epidemic on the American economy. In the last couple of weeks, the U.S has witnessed a record high number of citizens who have lost active employment following the calls to allow people to work from their homes (Goolsbee, 2020). Not only has this led to a significant number of unemployment cases in the U.S, but also limiting physical interactions has led to decreased activities such as sporting activities that would otherwise generate income. These contribute to the adverse economic impacts on the U.S. Additionally, the closure of Chinese firms has rendered the majority of manufacturing companies in the U.S dormant with little or no materials to work with (Goolsbee, 2020). This has not only lowered commerce in the U.S but has also led to the indefinite closure of some of these firms, meaning reduced income in terms of taxes and levies. Therefore, COVID-19 threatens…

An overview of ergonomics in aviation Scientifically, ergonomics is considered a process of designing products, systems, and workplaces to fit individuals who use them. In America, it is regarded as a discipline in science used to learn human limitations and abilities, then utilize the knowledge to improve people’s interaction with systems and products. In aviation, ergonomics and human factors are considered essential elements for instilling efficiency and safety of commercial airlines, military operations, and the well-being of the passengers. However, the concept of ergonomics goes beyond aircraft to other regulatory bodies, maintenance and traffic control, and other policies concerning the aviation industry. In contemporary society, better approaches have emerged to evaluate the activities performed by individual pilots, the aviation systems, and other emergent properties. Ergonomics is classified into three categories, including cognitive, organizational, and physical ergonomics. Therefore, the research will evaluate the three categories, give examples of each, and poor design of each that caused massive accidents. An overview of ergonomics in aviation With the vastly growing technological advancements, the aviation industry has immensely manifested the need to consider ergonomic…

problem facing Canada and critiques the solution proposed by the prime minister through the lens of contentious issues Introduction Amendments that take place from a political perspective of a country could create moments where part of the population may not admire the changes that are made within either the constitution or other relevant policies and regulations outlined by various states. These changes are, therefore, escalated by specific issues that work towards tackling a more significant problem that the whole country could be facing. Canada is among those countries that work towards having new policies that aim at protecting it from any future terrorist activities or even threats. The article by Thomas Mulcair, Tom Mulcair: It Is Crucial That Anti-Terrorism Measures Do Not Erode Fundamental Freedoms,” the author explains the changes that are brought about by the new amendments that would be made to curb the issue of terrorism in Canada.[1] The Prime minister of Canada is making it hard for the people of Canada by giving them a choice to choose between their freedom or rights, which is not something…

Public ream and public space Public space or public realm is any area or place that is open to all people, regardless of race, age, gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic level. These public gathering spaces include squares, plaza, and parks. Places that are connecting people, such as sidewalks and streets, are also known as public space. Pedestrians take advantage of the public space to connect and interact with each other; it’s through this they can socialize and create relationships. Some people use the space to eat, chat, and exercise with no one distracting them. There is no limitation to public space as long as people follow the rules like maintaining the parks and leaving them clean. There are two types of public realms, which are public realms that can be accessed freely and private realms that one has to pay a small fee to access it. However, many public places are accessible freely, thus promoting equality and understanding among the members of the public. Therefore, this research study will discuss what is happening to public space and the public realm. Over…

PTSD and First responders First responders play a significant role in assisting in situations of emergency. As crises and disasters became an epidemic, the need for effective crisis response became apparent, especially with first responders. They work in fields that expose them to the scene of disasters and crimes. As heroes, the first responders help others by putting themselves in dangerous situations. These individuals include military healthcare workers, emergency dispatchers, firefighters, paramedics, and police officers. Most of the people think that first responder is equivalently trained to respond to emergencies, helping and saving lives in such dire circumstances. With this perception, people may fail to remember the mental health issues subjected to the first responders. Although they are significantly trained for their duties, the challenging work environments may expose first responders to mental health issues. Indeed, stress and trauma can overrun even the best-trained responders. The constant exposure to traumatic incidents makes first responders prone to PTSD and other psychological disorders. For healthy mental wellbeing, first responders should effectively handle the repercussions of the exposure at work and strive to…

Rough Draft on the story ″Minor Heroism″ Introduction The story ″Minor Heroism″ by Allan Gurganus is a story that centres its ideas explicitly on the relationship between a son and his father, Richard. The story is divided into three parts: with part one and three being developed from the son whereas the second part is formed from the father’s point of view.
