Learning Log #2

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 publications or by respected organizations, Examining important articles' reference lists to locate more sources and follow the development of the field's knowledge.

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...

  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.  Telemed...

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...
