HEALTHCARE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TRENDS
Throughout history, technological advancements have appeared for one purpose before finding applications elsewhere that lead to spikes in its usage and development. The internet, for example, was originally developed to share research before becoming a staple of work and entertainment. But technology—new and repurposed—will undoubtedly continue to be a driver of healthcare information. Informaticists often stay tuned to trends to monitor what the next new technology will be or how the next new idea for applying existing technology can benefit outcomes.
In this Discussion, you will reflect on your healthcare organization’s use of technology and offer a technology trend you observe in your environment.
To Prepare:
· Reflect on the Resources related to digital information tools and technologies.
· Consider your healthcare organization’s use of healthcare technologies to manage and distribute information.
· Reflect on current and potential future trends, such as use of social media and mobile applications/telehealth, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled asset tracking, or expert systems/artificial intelligence, and how they may impact nursing practice and healthcare delivery.
Post a brief description of general healthcare technology trends, particularly related to data/information you have observed in use in your healthcare organization or nursing practice. Describe any potential challenges or risks that may be inherent in the technologies associated with these trends you described. Then, describe at least one potential benefit and one potential risk associated with data safety, legislation, and patient care for the technologies you described. Next, explain which healthcare technology trends you believe are most promising for impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice and explain why. Describe whether this promise will contribute to improvements in patient care outcomes, efficiencies, or data management. Be specific and provide examples.

introduction
This assessment will give you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of how technology can enhance quality and safety standards in nursing. You will prepare an annotated bibliography on technology in nursing. A well-prepared annotated bibliography is a comprehensive commentary on the content of scholarly publications and other sources of evidence about a selected nursing-related technology. A bibliography of this type provides a vehicle for workplace discussion to address gaps in nursing practice and to improve patient care outcomes. As nurses become more accountable in their practice, they are being called upon to expand their role of caregiver and advocate to include fostering research and scholarship to advance nursing practice. An annotated bibliography stimulates innovative thinking to find solutions and approaches to effectively and efficiently address these issues.
For this assessment, you will write a 4–6 page annotated bibliography where you identify peer-
reviewed publications that promote the use of one of the technologies presented below that
enhance quality and safety standards in nursing.
Before you complete the detailed instructions in the courseroom,
We would first review one of the technologies
below.
Electronic Medication Administration with Barcoding: This technology involves
scanning barcodes on patient wristbands and medications to ensure the right patient
receives the right medication at the right dose and time. It significantly reduces
medication errors and enhances patient safety.
Tele-ICU: Tele-ICU uses telemedicine technology to provide critical care expertise to
ICUs from a remote location. This allows for continuous monitoring of ICU patients and
provides smaller hospitals access to critical care specialists they might not have on-site.
Competition is prevalent in every industry, and healthcare is no exception. You see healthcare competition on a daily basis in the field of healthcare as providers and organizations compete to increase patient volumes and revenue. Review this link regarding healthcare competition from the point of view of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the government agency charged with regulating and monitoring competition.
Find an example of healthcare competition in your local region. This can include things such as competing provider groups, hospitals, or other services.
1.Define psychopharmacology and pharmacodynamics and describe the neuron’s cellular structure. Include the definition of synapses as well as their significance to the nervous and psychological system.
2.Research an article on neuron’s cellular structure works and explain what you found interesting about this topic.
Discussion should be 700 words minimum. References in APA not older than 5 years.

The United States Supreme Court is the highest federal judicial system with ultimate appellate jurisdiction over federal court cases. Once the supreme court makes its final judgment, no other body can overturn it. The number of cases taken to the Supreme Court is limited because it deals with the most sensitive matters (Greenberg et al., 2020). Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is among the recent cases handled by the Supreme Court. Supreme Court rejected the previous court decision and gave states the power to regulate abortion after arguing that there is no federal right to abortion in the American Constitution (Lambert et al., 2023). This case was appealed severally before it reached the Supreme Court. Supreme Court judges revised the decisions made before by lower courts. This law presented national implications since the American states were given the power to enact their regulations regarding the same since abortion rights are not protected by the federal constitution. After the Supreme Court decision, many states have established new laws prohibiting abortion.
As a medical professional, I do not support this decision because I believe it was influenced by the political environment rather than findings from clinical studies and scientific facts. Once a supreme court decides, the likelihood of overturning the decision is minimal. Women can seek medical abortion due to many personal matters, and as we respect the patient’s autonomy, women’s decisions should be respected. Our constitution protects the right to privacy under the 14th Amendment. Thus, any woman's decision to seek an abortion should be treated like a privacy right and not be exposed without consent or permission. Therefore, it would be better if the supreme court revised and reversed this decision.
