TECHNOLOGY IN HEALTH

Enumerate the Videos and what Struck me the Most

        Based on the Videos, it was shown that technologies are now being introduced in many different fields including the Healthcare system, as most of the workforce around the world is now becoming more dependent on technologies due to the fact that technologies improve many things to be simpler and more efficient. The combination of Nursing with the broad experience of knowing the patient's and clinical needs with Technologies improves the efficiency of the health professional's duty and also improves the patient's quality of care. Nursing Informatics is now an essential part of the Healthcare system due to how it manages and organized data and information from different departments while also communicating it through Nursing practice. Furthermore, this data is also used to update Nursing practices and protocols. 

        That it struck me the most that in our current days or time and in the unimaginable future, Technology would continue to improve and affect our daily life that we're unsure of the consequence that it may lead to, as the change can be considered as a technological boom of rapid innovation and application. For now, they're no detrimental effect of technology on our society that has been seen over the past few years, and in fact, has shown many positive impacts instead. Still, once again the future is unknown, and unsure of what kind of effect or change it may cause to our new generation and society.

In the Recent Battles with the Pandemic, are we in the: 

"Sick Care State" or "Health Care State"

        During the recent battles with the Pandemic, we're now in the Health Care State in proactively creating true health and preventing disease, as healthcare now focuses on wellness by moving toward preventive measures of Covid-19 from spreading by treating the disease through hygienic measures, keeping distance, and personal protective equipment's, and vaccination while promoting and support health to ensure that everyone has a strong immune system to protect themselves with the Coronavirus.

When do you think Convergence happened and how it has Impacted Healthcare Delivery?

            The Convergence of Technology and Healthcare happened in the 1980s and 90's which is the First Electronic Healthcare Records software was developed and to be applied in the Healthcare Delivery System which would help in improving the efficiency of carrying out the task of giving healthcare to the patients and community due to the fact it enhances the dissemination of data and information, which is very essential in delivering health care. However, it was also discussed prior to or later in the 1960s that technology may enhance health practices, as it holds much promise in improving the clinicians due to how much faster that technology process compares to a person.

The Comparison between Old Technology and New Technology?

              Old technologies are the past technologies that can still work or function that is no longer in use known as obsolescence, as New Technology is now circulating around the world that's better and more efficient than the past technologies. Primarily, New Technologies in the Healthcare system are combined with the latest computers and software that gather and collect Data and Information in a more accurate and efficient manner to be used in monitoring and predicting health problems that might occur during their stay in the Hospital. Other than that, Software from the New technologies can be continuously improved and updated unlike the Past technologies that couldn't be changed or updated to improve its function, and even though it's possible past technologies couldn't still compare with the new technologies in terms of function and accessibility.

Do you agree that the Interdisciplinary approach seems to be the way to go in solving 21st Century Problems? 

            The Interdisciplinary approach is a good method for solving the 21st Century Problems due to the process encompassing many different disciplines supporting one another to generate a comprehensive and reliable solution to solve a real-world problem. Furthermore, an Interdisciplinary approach is a very good method in the use of many different fields such as the Medical Field due to many different medical disciplines, Fields of Law to analyze and update Law and Standards, and/or Education which is a very good approach of learning and teaching to draw out the knowledge, skill, and talent of students to the variety of disciplines.
