compare and contrast an electronic medical record (EMR), electronic health record (EHR) and a personal health record (PHR).

As  health care delivery within the global community moves towards a  greater degree of digitization, there will likely be more technical  challenges health care delivery organizations must face as they move  from their existing legacy systems to those that are digital.

In  this Discussion, you will compare and contrast an electronic medical  record (EMR), electronic health record (EHR) and a personal health  record (PHR).

The Institute of Medicine has recommended that electronic health records (EHR) should possess eight core functions including:

• Health information and data
• Result management
• Order management
• Decision support
• Electronic communication and connectivity
• Patient support
• Administrative processes and reporting
• Reporting and population health

To  prepare for this Discussion, research the Internet for information on  EHR, EMR, and PHR, such as can be found at the Web site, http://www.healthit.gov/providers-professionals/benefits-electronic-health-records-ehrs.

In this Discussion, address the following:

•  Identify the primary differences between an electronic medical record  (EMR), electronic health record (EHR), and a personal health record  (PHR).
•  What are the primary technical and design complexity issues with  delivering these eight core functions? Choose one issue and identify how  you would address it.
• How does the integration that is required  between the EHR and other middleware products vary depending on whether  one is running locally, on an office-based LAN, or online within an ASP  model?

Illustrate your points in the context of a patient’s visit to a health care provider.

Week 5 Hot Topic: Extra Credit
A small-town Arkansas police chief is out of a job this week after letting his MAGA rip on social media on Friday night, advocating for violence against Democrats in response to baseless claims they were stealing the presidential election.
Lang Holland, the police chief of Marshall, Ark., shared the posts on Parler, a Twitter-like app popular among and targeted toward conservatives (yes, someone found a way to make something even worse than Twitter). Among the posts was a meme likening the 2020 election to the Revolutionary War
“Death to all Marxist Democrats,” Holland wrote on Friday, under his own name and likeness. “Take no prisoners leave no survivors!!” Do not go to sleep. Do not forget what these Marxist Democrat bastards have tried to do,” Holland wrote in another post. “When you see one in public get in their face do not give them any peace. Throw water on them at restaurants. Push them off sidewalks. Never let them forget they are traitors and have no right to live in this Republic after what they have done.”
It likely didn’t help that Holland had already made news this year for publicly criticizing Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) for issuing a mask mandate for the state in July.
Holland defied the order and said he wouldn’t enforce it. He also implied that following the public safety protocol would lead to the United States decline into a “failed communist state” according to KATV.
As you might expect, people took issue with a person charged with protecting the public hopping online and advocating for flagrant violence, but the story took one more twist before Marshall Mayor Kevin Elliott called Holland into his office.
What are your thoughts?
Part 2
In November 1983, 14-year-old DeWitt Duckett was shot in the neck in a Baltimore high school over his Georgetown Starter jacket.
Three 16-year-old boys were arrested on Thanksgiving Day 1983 and charged with the murder. Alfred Chestnut, Ransom Watkins and Andrew Stewart were convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
The three, now in their 50s, were all released from prison on Monday fully exonerated after spending 36 years incarcerated for a murder they didn’t commit.
“On behalf of the criminal justice system, and I’m sure this means very little to you, I’m going to apologize,” Baltimore Circuit Court Judge Charles Peters said. People in the courtroom erupted in applause as he declared them innocent, The Washington Post reports.
In May, Chestnut had written a letter to Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby, along with evidence incriminating the man now believed to have been the actual shooter, and asked for her office’s Conviction Integrity Unit to reexamine the case as a wrongful conviction.
Investigators reinterviewed witnesses and looked anew at the evidence, and Mosby’s office says the findings were troubling: Witnesses were coached and coerced by investigators to say they’d seen the three, after twice failing to pick them out of a lineup. Witnesses identified a different young person as the shooter, but police instead focused on Chestnut, Watkins and Stewart. Defense attorneys had asked for evidence that might exonerate their clients, but prosecutors had said they had none.  The man now suspected of committing the murder was shot to death in 2002.
“Present day, all four of those witnesses have recanted,” Assistant State’s Attorney Lauren Lipscomb told the judge, according to The Baltimore Sun. “There is evidence of coerced pretrial preparation.  The exonerations bring to nine the number of people freed since 2015 owing to the efforts of the Conviction Integrity Unit, a division dedicated to uncovering wrongful convictions. The unit is funded by a federal grant and works in partnership with the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project and the University of Baltimore’s Innocence Project Clinic.
“These three men were convicted, as children, because of police and prosecutorial misconduct. What the state, my office, did to them is wrong. There is no way we can ever repair the damage done to them. We can’t be scared of that and we must confront it,” Mosby said. “I want to thank these men from the bottom of my heart for persevering for decades to prove their innocence. They deserve so much more than an apology.”  Mosby says she will push for state legislation that would require the state to provide compensation for exonerees.
What are your thoughts about exonerated inmates who sometimes spend decades behind bars?  Should they be compensated?  If so, how would you calculate what is owed to that person, and if there is evidence of Police and Prosecutorial misconduct, what should happen in regard to that?

Sociology homework help

Random observation
Students will conduct a random observation on a subject of their choice and submit their observation. Random observations could be conducted in any social setting such as work place, a family or friend gathering, a party, an event of a volunteer or non-profit organization, a religious or traditional ritual occasion etc. First, students are expected to read;
1) Geertz, C. (1973). Thick description, The interpretation of cultures. New York: Basic. and
2) Mills, C. W. (1959). The promise. The sociological imagination, 3-24.
Second, apply the two readings to their observations. In other words, they are expected to see the general (bigger picture) by looking at particular (the expectation is to find (indicate) as many larger social phenomena as possible, which appear to be role players in shaping the particular case you will be observing)
Third, apply “thick description” to their observations by taking Geertz’s points into consideration.
Expectations of the assignment will become clear once you read those two pieces and attend the lecture on sociological imagination.
Observations should be at least 1500 word (5 pages long), have a cover page, 1 inch margin, double space, Times New Roman 12. (APA or Chicago)
