Informatics as a Multidisciplinary Approach The multidisciplinary approach to informatics, in my view, relates to the fact that the domain of informatics as we know it today combines or involves a multiplicity of academic disciplines and professional specializations in its approach to issues, problems, and challenges. For example, it is possible to say that informatics is a multidisciplinary approach as it combines several usually distinct branches of learning or domains of expertise, such as nursing informatics, medical informatics, public health informatics, business informatics, IS informatics, and engineering informatics. It is disciplinary in that practitioners use the lens of their professions to understand informatics (Alexander, Finch, & Sutton, 2013; Fitzgerald, 2012). Many organizations in the banking and financial sector have developed and implemented highly complex information security and assurance systems to help them ensure the privacy and security of their customers in the dynamic and interconnected operating environments. Since these systems assure information and manage risks associated with the use, processing, storage and transmission of data in a highly interconnected environment, it is possible to observe a multidisciplinary approach in their operations since they require expertise from multiple fields, such as business, accounting, user experience, criminal and forensic science, fraud examination, information systems engineering, as well as management science (Njiru, 2013). Definitions of Informatics The multidisciplinary approach to informatics, in my view, has led to the many different definitions of informatics as professionals use the lens of individual disciplines or fields of expertise to make sense of the processes, practices, strategies, and applications that relate to information technology. The broad scope of informatics and its diverse aspects have also contributed to the variance in the definitions of informatics. This means that a nurse researcher, for example, may define informatics differently from a business researcher due to the scope of study and variations in fundamental concepts of communication, knowledge, data, interaction, and information between the two researchers. The many different definitions of informatics suggest that one has to maintain an open and flexible approach in dealing with the concept to not only avoid the risk of limiting the aspect of interoperability and communication among organizations and other entities (Lazikidou & Siassiakos, 2009) but als
Introduction Expanding the range of technological developments and effective innovations used in nursing education is an important aspect of successful and productive learning. Digital applications, virtual simulators, and other similar tools contribute to a deep immersion in the care environment and offer unique mechanisms for accumulating valuable experience. As an object of evaluation, this work aims to assess the effectiveness and convenience of such a training tool as virtual simulation. This technique is innovative and insufficiently studied; therefore, in addition to its merits and convenience, possible gaps will be addressed. As a relevant theoretical framework used to determine the feasibility of incorporating such a tool into a continuing educational process, Lewin’s change theory will be utilized. By synthesizing findings from credible academic sources, information about the virtual simulation technique will be collected and analyzed in a literature review section. Also, implementation challenges will be considered, including stakeholder analysis and comparison with another emerging technology applied for educating nurses. The purpose of this proposal is to determine the value of virtual simulation in the context of nursing education and identify potential gaps and ways to address them by using Lewin’s change theory. Literature Review Credible Sources Refer to table 1- Literature Review Summary The analysis of virtual simulation as an emerging technology in education through a literature review is a convenient approach to identify key scholars’ findings and compare the data obtained. The objectives of the studies will be examined, as well as research contexts, basic findings, the relevance of the work performed, and the credibility of the evidence presented. In Table 1, these data are summarized, and with their help, the synthesis of the extracted information may be conducted to determine the most important findings. Based on the available data found in the sources reviewed, the use of virtual simulation in nursing education is a technique that has a beneficial effect on knowledge gains and professional development. Nevertheless, while taking into account the goals and objectives of these studies, one can highlight the information that is more relevant in the context of the topic under consideration. In particular, the mechanisms of impacts of this simulation type differ based on certain effects that they have on the academic performance of nursing students. The evaluation of virtual simulation as a tool that improves the quality of nursing education allows drawing conclusions about the general advantages that this approach to learning has. Foronda, Fernandez-Burgos, Nadeau, Kelley, and Henry (2020) note that basic skills are enhanced, which future nurses should apply in the learning process, in particular, critical thinking, academic performance, self-confidence, and some other attainments. Huun (2018) confirms the value of virtual simulation for honing common care skills and gives arguments based on the multiplicity of practical implications that are individually di
In the present day, modern technologies provide consumers with a wide range of services, which several years ago were not available. Dry cleaning is among them. The benefits of dry cleaning are obvious. To begin with, it is very convenient. There is no need to waste your own time by doing the job, which may be trusted by the professionals. There is no need for laundry or ironing anymore. All you need is to leave your clothes on the doorsteps, and you may be sure that they will be cleaned properly and in time. There are distinct advantages of dry-cleaning in comparison with water washing. When washed in water, the fabric, especially the natural fibers, may be distorted and may even lose its color. On the contrary, when the garments are dry cleaned, no water is used and the process does not swell the fibers, so the opportunity of making harm to the fabric is minimized. There are certain types of stains, which cannot be removed by means of water washing, and which are easily dissolved by dry cleaning. After the garment is dry cleaned, there is no need for the exhaustible ironing, because your closes are already ironed and look like new. As a rule, the consumers do not disturb themselves with the peculiarities of the garment, which has to be washed. The professional dry cleaner knows all the characteristics of any fabric and the proper way of its washing it. In such a way, your clothes are cleaned correctly, and their service life is increased. The life of your clothes is also extended by the fact of the removal of stains and dust. Moreover, dry cleaners use hypoallergenic ingredients that make no harm to your health. Therefore, there is no need to use harmful and toxic substances to try to remove the stains by yourself.
Introduction In this paper, I will present my reflections on the module assignments to identify the areas that I excelled in and those that I need to improve on. In particular, the paper will focus on the knowledge and skills that I have acquired through the course. It will highlight the topics that I did not understand, the work that I did for the class, and the methods of measuring my future progress. Finally, the paper will provide a brief discussion on managed care organizations (MCO) and accountable care organizations (ACO). Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities I have been able to improve my knowledge, skills, and abilities in various ways. These include participating in all interactive learning sessions such as group discussions, completing module assignments, and personal reading. The modules presented during the course enabled me to acquire knowledge on various aspects of the U.S.A’s healthcare system such as the characteristics of various healthcare insurance offered in the country. Moreover, focusing on personal reading enabled me to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and theories taught in class. Similarly, participating in interactive learning sessions enabled me to enrich my understanding by listening to other students’ opinions and to share my views with others. Consequently, my ability to apply the knowledge and skills that I have acquired through the course has significantly improved. My success in acquiring improved knowledge, skills, and abilities can be demonstrated by the work I did for the class during the learning session. I was able to complete all my tasks and assignments in time, as well as, to work with other students to complete group work effectively. However, I could have performed better by supplementing the course content with external learning materials to improve my understanding of various concepts. Furthermore, I could have improved my performance by allocating more time for personal study, research, and completing various assignments. Generally, I was able to understand all the topics taught during the course. However, I encountered challenges in understanding some topics such as the formation of ACOs and the implementation of PCMH. In this regard, the course materials for these topics should be improved through the provision of practical examples and case studies to enhance students’ understanding. Measuring the effects of what I have learned will enable me to keep track of my future progress. Thus, I intend to use practice and skill checks to measure the effect of the knowledge I have acquired on my future progress. This will involve assessing the extent to which I can apply the knowledge and skills in my profession in the future. Additionally, I will measure the effect by examining the extent to which I will be able to remember and to share the taught concept
The Gospel of Cesar Chavez: my faith in action is a vivid account of the actions of a prolific leader whose leadership abilities were firmly rooted in faith (Garcia and Espinosa 106). The book shows a striking similarity between a persons’ will to fight for a cause he believed was just and the great religious movements that preached equality for all people irrespective of their color or origin. This book is, therefore, an account of the leaders’ own words that expresses his deep faith and how his faith was able to shape his leadership. The author was a teacher of morality. He was a man who had a firm faith and who inspired many people who came across him. Mario T. Garcia starts his book by providing a profile of the events of the life of Cesar Chavez and the legacy that he left. This book gives readers a reflection of this great man that inspires a reader to reflect on, based on the topics covered, in their spiritual life. When Chavez was asked how he was able to continue organizing and bringing together U.S. farm worker for so many years in a fervent struggle for change, his response was that faith kept him going. He categorically stated that neither economic fundamentals or political doctrine and culture could help him sustain such a fight. Faith is what drives the American Dream (Garcia and Espinosa 285). People from across the world want to seek an opportunity to realize their dreams within the American society. During the time of Chavez, the United Firm Workers was keen on restricting immigration. According to Garcia (60), the influx of the immigrant to America brought about a revival in the American religious lifestyle. They brought about a vibrant culture of prayer to American that was almost dying among the protestant groups. The Bracero program provided access to cheap and constant immigrant labor for the growers. Even at a time when many people are crossing the Mexican border towards the United States, one cannot help but to see faith in action. The greatest challenge in America, when faced by such immigration crisis is to draft lasting reforms. However, as Chavez himself notes, lasting reform must be based on living and active faith as well as a vibrant spiritual lifestyle. The author provides a clear link between Chavez advocacy and the American religious experience. Religious freedom puts humanity first (Garcia and Espinosa 107). The American society is built in the belief in God as the Governor of the universe. Any attempt to suppress the right to organize, preach, or peacefully engage society based on the belief in God is an attack on the human dignity. The men who gave birth to the American system had some weaknesses which entrenched some flaws such as brutal slavery, exploitation of others, greed and religious bigotry. However, the American religious experience has bequeathed the American society the logic of respect for diversity and has proven itsel
Program evaluation pursues to answer how efficiently the program’s needs have been met and objectives and set standards have been attained. Program evaluation also assesses the organization’s quality, the efficiency of its methods and identifies aspects of the procedures that can be improved. For instance, Alcoholics Anonymous program evaluations were planned procedurally and implemented. The community-based initiative, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a worldwide program that was formed to support individuals struggling with an alcohol drinking problem to maintain sobriety by peer support over day-to-day meetings and discussions about their addiction. The AA program was initiated by Doctor Bob Smith and Bill Wilson in 1935. Wilson published Alcoholics Anonymous, explaining the philosophy and approaches. Its idea orbits around the principle that alcoholism is a sickness that cannot be controlled, but can only be managed, and the approach outlined the twelve steps of recovery. The 12 Steps have since been adapted over the years to help persons struggling with other kinds of addiction by various institutions. Furthermore, other self-help groups such as Narcotic Anonymous have implemented the same steps to rescue many men and women from the habit. AA through the principle of social interaction have successfully worked as members benefit a lot from the emotional and physical support as well as hands-on tips on avoiding the temptations and urge to drink. From Wilson’s philosophy, change of behavior can be achieved with some other people looking to have the same change. Moreover, with the togetherness in the fight winning against the addiction and the struggles has been giving positive results. From various studies AA approach on abstinence has been found significantly better than other measures, that is, 60% extra operative. Furthermore, no study has proved AA less efficient based on various variables such as outcomes of full abstinence and cost savings. On cost savings, another study has shown that participating in AA could significantly reduce mental health counseling costs by $10,000 per individual.

Introduction “Twelve Angry Men” is a 1957 play set in the court of law in New York City. The play entails an overheated courthouse where an 18-year-old young man faces trial for killing his dad. At the beginning of the film, the panel members talked casually and made it evident that the man was guilty. The first round of voting yielded eleven guilty votes and one non-guilty vote, which came from Juror 8. According to Juror 8, the other Juror ought to intensely discuss facts before making the final decisions. The other judges reacted violently against the dissenting vote leading to a discussion on why the judges thought the Puerto Rican boy was guilty, hoping to convince Juror 8 to adopt similar ideologies. Contrarily, Juror number 8 persuasively allowed the other jurors to review facts logically, leading to a unanimous not guilty verdict. Indeed, the movie revolves around Juror 8’s persuasion skills to acquit the young man regardless of his colleague’s opposition. Juror 8 got various traits like inductive reasoning, kairos, phronesis, demeanor, and body language, making it easy to persuade the other jurors to analyze facts and make a unanimous, not guilty decision. Juror 8’s Persuasion Skills Juror 8’s intelligence and inductive reasoning helped him overpower other judges’ decisions and persuaded them to acquit the boy of the criminal charges. Through the keen synthesis of the provided evidence, Juror 8 developed a general principle and influenced their colleagues’ viewpoints. The Judge stated that he could not send the boy a death sentence without discussing it first and questioned whether he was automatically guilty because the slums were breeding grounds for criminals. An excellent example of inductive reasoning was when Juror 8 brought up the question of th
The movie WALL-E is an animated story about a robot named WALL-E who is endowed with irrational feeling despite its programmed nature. The robot falls in love with another advanced robot called EVE regardless the impossibility of robotic love. The story, therefore, uncovers the eternal confrontation between science and nature, reason and emotion, consumerism and environmentalism. More importantly, the film focuses on the current trends in consumption, as well as degradation of humans who are confined to ‘programmed’ means of existence. The protagonist of the story is a robot that should clean up the Earth after it was abandoned by humans. One the one hand, the story is a science-fiction environmentalist film; on the other hand, the picture is a dystopian narrative revealing the consequences of consumerist culture developed at the present times. Despite the initial messages that the director intended to deliver, the film can also be recognized as an environmental precautionary tale about the negative consequences of consumption habits of humans. The author focuses on environmental pollution and obesity problems as the leading ones in posing threats to the future of our planet. In particular, Howey argues, “ WALL-E …is implicated within its own critique; its science-fiction conventions…raise questions about the way humans are “programmed” through education and consumer directives” (45). Moreover, the movie also embraces such important topics as ecological situation and attitude of younger viewers to the current environmental situation. The dystopian narrative and genre of the film underlines these topics and provides both a fiction and realistic account for what might happen t
Globalization is an ongoing process, where the interdependence of countries is becoming stronger and stronger. In that regard, international trade can be considered as one of the aspects of such globalization, where importing and exporting goods on a global basis is an apparent indication of such globalization. On the other hand, international trade includes processes other than global imports and export of products, where international investments and outsourcing can be seen as aspects of international trade. In that regard, there are several opportunities that international trade can bring to workers, as well as several threats, which will be overviewed in the following paragraphs. The opportunities for workers can be seen through the relative rise in the income, where companies opening affiliates and branches in other countries, bringing their specialists might result in a certain equalization of incomes and a raised standard toward which the local companies will be forced to follow. Such aspect is not limited to income but might be extended to business practi
Telemedicine attracts the attention of health care providers as a new cost-efficient approach to delivering health care without focusing on borders or financial limits that are associated with insurance. In his article “Telemedicine Is a Game-Changer for Patients, the System”, Bill Frist notes that telemedicine as a way of promoting the remote care and services is observed today in rural areas, where patients have no many opportunities to receive the necessary specialty consultations, and it can be actively used in both urban and rural territories of the United States if the regulatory barriers are overcome (Frist par. 1-4). From this point, the main advantages of telemedicine are its availability and accessibility. Frist states that those Americans who cannot afford the expensive health care services or have to seek for the assistance in emergency departments because of the shortage of primary care providers are in need of telemedicine as an alternative effective and cost-efficient approach to care delivery (Frist par. 6). Frist claims that to make the health care really affordable, it is necessary to avoid multiple regulatory barriers and improve legislation and policies in the states regarding the provision of care through telemedicine tools because telemedicine can be considered as one of widely available tools to practice medicine (Frist par. 8). Thus, referring to advantages of telemedicine, it is possible to agree with Frist’s view. In his article, Frist points at the strengths of telemedicine and proposes the way of improving the policies in the field of healthcare in order to make telemedicine more available and advantageous for the Americans. Frist’s approach and focus on telemedicine as a way to make the care delivery accessible and cheap can be discussed as reasonable because telemedicine contributes to decreasing the overwhelming flows of patients who want to receive the immediate assistance in emergency departments and consultations of primary care providers (Hoyt and Yoshihashi 434). As a result, the issue of professionals’ shortages becomes effectively addressed, especially in rural regions. In addition, in spite of the costs of information and communication technologies, telemedicine is potentially the low-cost alternative to the patients’ visits for consultation. Frist assumes that a telemedicine visit can cost around $40 for a person in the future (Frist par. 6). Such costs are more attractive for persons from the rural territories or for the elderly individuals as well as for those persons with chronic diseases because they need the on-going health care monitoring (Hoyt and Yoshihashi 424). Moreover, health care specialists receive the perfect opportunity to distinguish between the acute and chronic cases effec
