Key Information Technology Stakeholders
In the health care industry, it is important that organizations have various information technology stakeholders to improve the overall quality of care. Stakeholders, such as programmers, systems analyst, and database administrator play a crucial role in the health care sector. For, each stakeholder is a qualified professional that have several responsibilities in the IT department. In this paper, I’m going discuss the three stakeholder roles mentioned previously by giving information about their duties as an IT leader.
The Programmer
The programmer is a stakeholder that needed in the health care IT department. Their primary role is to maintain the programs on the computer so it can function well. According to Karen Wager and her co-authors, there are two types of programmers, which are applications and system (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2013). Application programmer responsibility is to write programs to handle certain user tasks (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2013). For example, the application developers designed a database to track the hospital receiving department …show more content…

They are the professionals who determine what hardware or a software system desired in the new development of information technology (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2013). Like programmers, system analyst has a strong computer programming background (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2013). They work with programmers to eliminate errors in the information system (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2013). In the hospital, an analyst can design the systems to solve the solutions. For example, an analyst can create a program like the “hold minute report” so the administrators can see the actual time it takes for a patient to move to a room from the clinic. In the IT department, the analyst role is to helps the administrator understand what the organization needs to improve by providing them a system that operates more

a) Mrs. Auld thinks Douglass should be able to read because she teaches him herself. “ My mistress- who had begun to teach me- was suddenly checked in her benevolent design,...”(Douglass 521). The author says that his mistress began to teach him, so this proves what Mrs. Auld thinks about Douglass’s reading. b) I think that Mrs. Auld is later “violent in her opposition” to Douglass’s reading because her husband gave her strong advice of not teaching Douglass how to read. “ In faithful compliance with this advice, the good lady had not only ceased to instruct me, herself, but had set her face as a flint against my learning to read by any means”(Douglass 521).

Technology is used in the health care system to chart patient health information, communicate with the interprofessional team, and monitor plan of care. The nurse, upon licensure, recognizes the importance of computer literacy and the effect technology has on patient outcomes. The use of technology can hinder or help the patient based on its use. For this reason,

Nearly a century before the first shots of World War I were fired, the European states gathered at the Congress of Vienna and set forth an international order and established an official balance of power. Unfortunately the neutrality and peace across the European continent dissipate faster than anyone of that time could have predicted. World War I changed how nations fought in wars, what they used, how they attacked, but also is known to have catapulted many nations into progressive movements for economic, social, and political revolutions. Eastern Front One of the most active theaters of the Great War was the Eastern Front. When the professor mentioned the Eastern front he is referring to the line of fighting that occurred in the Eastern side of Europe mostly between Russia, Germany, and Austria-Hungary.

In conjunction with these changes are the complexity of healthcare regulations, and specifically the paper trail of data collection and archive in this field. The author later explained that a “sector change,” which is a transition from paper-based protocol to an electronic method, was implemented to manage the administrative work of the healthcare system. This required a level of expertise and accountability of staff overseeing this new database or system. Similarly, this process of transition is described in the textbook as “job enrichment,” or a “technique that allows workers more control over how they perform their task, giving them more responsibility” (Principles of Management). In the case of the health system, implementing a sector change for the health care department allowed the company to improve data efficiency and reporting, however, it also created another layer of complexity around system regulation and constant software updates, as “HIS departments need to assess the effects of these sector-wide events on the daily routine and workloads of their individual employees” (Layman,
