 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.

 This week we learned about mandatory vaccines. First we started off with Jacobson v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts (1905), A Massachusetts legislation requiring smallpox vaccinations for all students was being challenged in this case. Cambridge, Massachusetts resident Henning Jacobson objected to his child receiving a vaccination because of his personal views and history of negative vaccination reactions. After receiving a $5 fine (about $150 in today's currency) for breaking the law, he filed a constitutional rights complaint. The main question was whether Jacobson's right to individual liberty under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment was violated by the Massachusetts vaccine requirement. Jacobson claimed that because the law restricted his bodily autonomy and personal freedom, it was unconstitutional. In a 7-2 ruling, the US Supreme Court maintained the Massachusetts statute. The Court decided that vaccination laws might be enforced by the state for the protection

 What I found interesting this week was how the deinstitutionalization movement significantly changed the landscape of mental healthcare, moving away from a large institution-dominated approach and toward one that prioritizes community-based support. This paper's examination of the historical background and the unforeseen ramifications of this big change is among its most interesting features. The movement started out intending to better the treatment that people with mental illness received, and it also aimed to eliminate the harsh environments that were prevalent in many institutions from the early 20th century. The paper emphasizes how popular culture's depiction of these facilities often linked to terror and neglect was a major factor in influencing public opinion and changing laws. The legislative initiatives aimed to provide sufficient community resources, most notably through the Community Mental Health Act of 1963. However, many people were left without the required sup

This week in class we talked about how to go about doing research for our papers and presentations. One thing that I found very useful for researching is taking my topic and breaking it up and using similars words that mean the same thing. It came up with more options for me to use and also it cut down on the unnecessary website that I don't need or don't have anything to do with what I'm trying to find. I also learned that by searching an authors name could also help me find more useful information as well. Taking what I learned this week will definitely help me with getting everything I need to be resourceful. Just search is not always helpful because you get so many results and then half of them are not credible. I also learned that using academic databases also helps. Additionally, I found it helpful to confirm that writers are subject-matter experts by looking up their credentials and affiliations, to make sure the study is published in respectable, peer-reviewed publi
