 The fact that informatics is significantly changing healthcare especially through telemedicine is what most intrigues me about this information.The fact that telemedicine is used by 76% of hospitals worldwide to interact with patients and that it is now an essential component of specialties like dermatology, radiology, and psychiatry shows how well accepted it is. I find it fascinating how informatics may help close the care gap between rural and urban areas, particularly when it comes to giving patients in outlying locations better accessible and cheap care. Telemedicine plays a particularly appealing role in enhancing access to healthcare, managing patient-provider interactions, and optimizing workflows. The use of electronic health records (EHRs), video conferencing, and mobile messaging for effective collaboration represents a significant advancement above conventional approaches. Nonetheless, the difficulties with privacy issues, technology accessibility, and the sluggish acceptance of new technologies by medical practitioners underscore how difficult it is to incorporate informatics into the healthcare system. I would make use of this knowledge in the future to gain a deeper understanding of how technology may improve patient care, lower expenses, and expedite procedures in the healthcare administration field. The requirement to create regulations that protect patient privacy while encouraging innovation really interests me.Comprehending the subtleties of informatics will enable me to make a positive impact on the area, whether I choose to work in data analysis, healthcare management, or policy development pertaining to health technology. Also, there are interesting career potential in clinical informatics due to the expanding leadership responsibilities, which match my passion in technology and healthcare. I can ensure that technology keeps improving patient outcomes while addressing possible hazards related to privacy and ethical concerns by studying more about informatics and how it affects healthcare.

Final Summary

Some key takeaways from class discussions and research on healthcare administration subjects are highlighted in my summaries. These realizations have greatly influenced how I navigate a career in healthcare administration, especially when it comes to research methods, comprehending how healthcare systems have changed over time, and dealing with ethical dilemmas and disparities in the field. The importance of improving research techniques is among the most practical lessons I have learned from our class discussion. In addition to increasing the amount of information available, breaking down issues into smaller portions and employing synonyms also helps to cut down on irrelevant results. Healthcare administrators can use this technique to locate relevant and reliable information for policymaking and decision-making. Other tactics that can improve the caliber of my study include using academic databases, looking up author credentials, and analyzing references to monitor the advancement of...

Learning Log #4

 This week in class we had 2 presentations, one on the Flexner report and the other on the role of ai and robotics in healthcare. Some things that I found interesting about the flexor reports were prior to the Flexner Report, medical schools provided a very inconsistent standard of teaching. The study, which is still an important component of modern medical education today, campaigned for a scientific, research-based curriculum that would match medical education with stricter criteria. Flexner's proposals caused many underperforming medical schools to close, greatly lowering the overall number of institutions while raising the caliber of graduates. The goal of this school consolidation was to concentrate resources on producing more qualified physicians. The report placed a strong emphasis on practical training in clinical and laboratory settings, changing the focus of medical education from a purely theoretical approach to one that is based on actual research and practice. This met...
