Discussion Post: Nurses Face Many Types of Ethical Issues
Case:
The Green County Health Department Clinic (GCHDC) works under the auspices of the county health department. The clinic serves a diverse population, aiming to provide comprehensive primary care healthcare services and promote public health initiatives- acute and preventative- in a family care setting to those who are underinsured or uninsured. Their patients range from newborns to geriatrics, with a diversity of clinical and administrative providers.
Their mission statement is:
Green County Health Department Clinic (GCHDC) is committed to comprehensive primary care for our diverse community in collaboration with the Green County Health Department (GCHD), the community, and other stakeholders. The underlying focus is to prevent illness and promote physical, social, and mental health while protecting our community and its populations.
To enhance their services and streamline operations, the GCHDC executive team has decided to implement a comprehensive public health informatics system for scheduling that integrates healthcare data standards while collating patient data and information that supports scheduling, clinical coordination (internally and externally), epidemiological and monitoring efforts, and has effective internal and external communications.
In your initial post, answer the following, applying directly to the case that aligns with the module objectives for your analysis and critical thinking of the case study above.
I. Identify the systems development life cycle (SDLC) and its role in healthcare delivery and public health:
II. Provide a brief roadmap illustrating how the SDLC phases could be applied specifically to the GCHDC's informatics implementation.
III. Recognize the specific administrative informatics tools that are used in healthcare delivery and public health organizations:
IV. From this module readings, recommend, with your rationale, specific informatics tools suitable for GCHDC's informatics requirements and how they could support GCHDC's mission and operations.
V. Examine the electronic security requirements to secure healthcare data and information to minimize threats:
VI. Address workflow and compliance with relevant healthcare data securities that should be considered to secure GCHDC's healthcare data and information.
