Interview and Reflection

There are several, popular technological trends in health care, from virtual medicine to apps and software. Like most trends, some will continue to be acceptable while others will no longer be used, with other trends replacing them.

Interview a health care worker in your community to learn popular trends for electronic health records (EHR). Address the questions below.

· What EHR trends do you currently encounter in your position?

· What are the pros and cons of using the trend?

· How does this trend benefit the patients?

· How does this trend benefit the medical staff?

· Do you think this trend will remain a staple in the medical field? Why?

· Are there any trends relating to EHR that you are aware of not currently being used but could be in the future?

· What does the future look like in regard to EHR?

· Add an original question of your own.

 

Report the interviewee’s answers to your questions in a question and answer format. Then add a reflection to the interview in which you complete the following items listed below.

· Connect the information you received from the interview to what you have learned in this lesson.

· Evaluate the trend your interviewee spoke of, and comment on how you think it can be improved and where it is lacking (for a simple example, calling a Teledoc physician cannot give the doctor an official weight or temperature reading).

· Pulling from earlier units, reflect on how you think these new technological trends might cause further disparities in certain populations.

· Dicuss what you think needs to be done in order to make this trend sustainable.

 

Your interview and reflection paper must be a minimum of three pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. To support your ideas, use a minimum of two outside sources. Additionally, use a source that focuses on your community (such as a newspaper or journal article). Remember that all written assignments must be formatted using APA Style especially in-text citation and references.

For this assignment, you will create a 5- to 7-minute video outlining a community plan or process addressing a particular disparity. Imagine that you will present your video to your community’s city council or county commission. They might have little understanding of community health issues, but they are tasked with making decisions regarding these matters for the tax payers. You want to educate them on a particular disparity in their community and the best approach to addressing this disparity.

Part 1: Identify a health disparity in your community. Below are some possible questions you can address in order to analyze the disparity:

· Who is the disparity affecting the most (e.g., family, friends, and specific demographics)?

· What is the disparity? What is the issue? What interventions and/or strategies are put in place to decrease it?

· How is the disparity affecting those in the community?

· Why is this disparity a concern?

· Where is the disparity occurring? Where are possible resources located to assist with this disparity in your community?

 

Part 2: Assess current communication strategies and their effectiveness on improving healthy equity for all community members. Conclude your video by explaining how communication in public health within your community helps to reduce the disparity. (Remember your audience in this section. They need to know how best to help you communicate this information.)

Provide data to support your responses. You will also provide a transcript of your video, and, in this transcript, you will include proper APA citations and references. Be sure to include separate title and reference pages.

You will need to upload your video to YouTube, and then provide the link to the video at the top of the first page of your transcript. The transcript document is what you will upload to Blackboard.

Access the two assignment resources below to help you create a quality video, and upload that video to YouTube:
