Computers in Healthcare

By -

The computer is an indispensable part of the healthcare field that helps in different areas, such as patient care and administrative tasks. 


Computers are widely used to store digital health records of patients. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) systems store patient information such as medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, and lab test results. This digitalization enables smoother file keeping, lowering the risk of errors, ensuring accessibility and allowing the easy analytics of data in order to provide better results to patients. Furthermore, the progress of communication networks and software systems has led to the wide adoption of telemedicine. Healthcare professionals can take advantage of its ability to do remote diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of patients with the aid of video conferencing, wearable sensors and mobile apps. This technology is crucial for the underprivileged, especially communities living in rural or vulnerable locations, as well as during emergency situations.  

Computer literacy among healthcare workers 


Computer literacy is of high importance for healthcare workers for many reasons. First, healthcare professionals should be able to use EHR systems effectively to get patient information, update records, and communicate with colleagues. The trend of telemedicine also creates the need for being competent about use of teleconferencing tools, remote monitoring devices, and electronic health records platforms. Knowing cybersecurity protocols is a must to secure patient data from unauthorized access or breaches. In addition, as technology continues to develop, health professionals must keep abreast with new platforms and devices as well as new software and different applications in digital practices in order to provide quality care and increase their productivity.  

The next 10 years


The augmentation of information science in health care next decade will most likely be marked by huge progress. Intelligent AI systems will radically change diagnostics, individualized medicine, predictive analysis, and drug design, which will enhance treatment outcomes and general care for patients. IoT devices including health monitors and smart medical devices will provide real-time health data collection, remote patient monitoring and prompt healthcare interventions integration in healthcare. Adoption of cloud-based healthcare solutions facilitates easy data storage, retrieval and scalability thus reducing infrastructure cost, improving collaboration among the healthcare stakeholders.

My experience building a program using Scratch Scratch project URL: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1000702476 Creating the jumping game in Scratch was fascinating. I liked the easy visual interface and drag-and-drop blocks that allowed me to create interactive elements such as motion, scoring, and game logic. Real-time testing offered valuable feedback in debugging and improving the game mechanics. However, I had trouble adding the dinosaur sprite's jump motion. These real-time jumps required smooth movements with no collision glitches by precisely adjusting the timing and position of the moving hedgehog sprite. I tried out different values by adjusting the Y position during the jump sequence to overcome the issue. This exercise emphasized the significant role of logical thinking and systematic problem-solving in programming. The fragmentation of the game into independent objects, such as jump mechanics, scoring, and obstacle detection, showed the need for ordered and structure...

Network security is paramount in protecting data and guaranteeing the continuity of digital communication. Protecting sensitive information and keeping off cyber threats is paramount in today's interconnected world, where businesses, governments, and individuals depend on networks for various activities (Zeng, 2021). Network security, as an indisputable part of information technology, relates to conceptual fundamentals covered throughout the coursework.      Connection To Fundamentals of IT     Network security is fundamental in information technology to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and resources. A lack of resilient security solutions could go along with such an outcome as confidential data could be stolen and might lead to information system downtime or even financial problems (Zeng, 2021). Knowing network security principles is an indispensable part of a professional's IT competence, especially when attempting to overc...

Importance of information and system security Information and system security is important for both individuals and corporations in our digital world. The use of digital technologies and the internet by many has led to security matters of ensuring data privacy and system authenticity. To begin with, network security is crucial for preserving personal information, financial records, and intellectual property. It guarantees that this information remains safe from unauthorized access and theft. On the other hand, privacy conservation is crucial for data and network security. It implies the protection of personal data by denying unauthorized people to collect, store, or use information without permission. This is of particular importance in the current times when the world is very data-driven, and personal data is deemed to be of high value and can be abused if not well protected. Furthermore, regulatory compliance is another important factor explaining why information and network security...
