TASK OVERVIEW: stories from 10 Students will pick 10 economics-inspired different chapters from Charles Whelan's Naked Economics and write a reflection paper on how the stories in these ten chapters resonate with their personal experiences. Students will write a paragraph for each of the ten concepts. The focus is your economic story/reflection and the economic concept/principal supporting the reflection. How a particular story in Naked Economics resonates with your own story? You will upload your reflection paper here and post it on an accompanying discussion board. In the discussion board, you will comment on one of your peer's discussions to receive full discussion points. To submit this assignment, students are required to use Turnitin. Students are expected to explain these ten concepts as if they are explaining them to their grandmothers. Therefore it would be helpful to provide examples to make it easy to understand. If the assignment Turnitin score goes over 20 %, the particular student will earn zero for this assignment. Also, a student will lose 10 points for every 5% increase in Turnitin score. The goal of this assignment is to make sure that students explain these concepts in their own words. Therefore, students are expected to stay within a 1-5% Turnitin score. You do NOT need to CITE the book or any other source. Since this assignment does not require any other external citations. TO DO: At least 4 pages as long as 10 economics stories from 10 different chapters are written for a paragraph of the 10 concepts. Double spaced, APA

TASK 2: write a reply The development of information technology (IT) has rapidly changed the world in the last three decades. It has transformed the life and existence of people and businesses. Nowadays, every segment of individuals’ personal and professional life involves the usage of IT from meeting basic personal needs, such as purchasing food, through maintaining social life to working life that includes wide range of IT utilization such as completing basic computer tasks or managing data and digital databases. With the rapid and explosive internet and mobile computing growth, the transfer and communication of healthcare data is easier then ever and it enables participants to use applications that are designed for monitoring patients through wearable devices, manage healthcare service appointments and access to multiple healthcare data (Iyengar et al, 2018). Patients can produce enormous accessible data from using imaging services through blood test results to personalised treatments (Thimbleby, 2013) that increases the concern of privacy and security regarding to patients, healthcare professionals and healthcare providers equally (Iyengar et al, 2018). Any data, which can link to the patient’s identity, is classified as protected health information that is regulated by EU General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR). However, genomic data, which is also great identificatory, is not yet recognised by GDPR (Iyengar et al, 2018). Breach in protecting and secure protected health data can occur due to lack of encryption that makes the data vulnerable and accessible for hackers (Iyengar et al, 2018). Reference Iyengar, A. et al. (2018) Healthcare Informatics and Privacy. IEEE internet computing. [Online] 22 (2), 29–31. Thimbleby H. (2013). Technology and the future of healthcare.

TASK 1: Write an initial post on topic : Apply your knowledge and discuss how advancing technology is changing the healthcare practice; consider how health information system, telecommunications, confidentiality and information security influenced your practice and personal life. Please explain and provide examples whether technology can be a support or a hindrance to quality of care and patient’s safety.

2. What are the distinctive advantages and disadvantages of Human Centered Design[HCD]? What are the key steps in the process of HCD? How does HCD differ from more conventional approach to innovation and problem solving in business?

TASK 3: write a reply on the question at the end and the whole research I would like to elaborate more on this topic by summing up few advantages of application of technology in healthcare sector. The Digitalization of Health Records: with implementation of Electronic Health Records (EHR), the healthcare institutions are relieved of massive paperwork to maintain patients’ records. The patients and their consultants can easily see the records at the click of button. This led to greater patient care as the EHR guides physician sending automatically to patients’ potential issues such as allergies and intolerance to certain medicine. Researchers can be benefitted with the EHRs as it provides invaluable data helping to advance medical knowledge and treatment development for common health issues. A study at University of Michigan, reported reduced cost of outpatient care by 3% by shifting from paper records to EHRs. The data experts informed multiple benefits as: Reducing healthcare cost, predicting epidemics, avoiding preventable deaths, improving quality of life, reducing healthcare waste, improving efficiency and quality of healthcare, developing new drugs and treatment. Telemedicine or telehealth which is mostly used for remote area is other technology implementation in healthcare. It has applications like live video, store and forward, remote patient monitoring and mobile health. Using health apps for follow-up visits, it improves the probability of follow-up, reducing missing appointments and optimizing patient’s outcome. Can peers shed more light in major advantages of technology applications?

TASK 4: write a reply Technology is continuously advancing, with numerous technological developments; from imaging scanners to intelligent decision aids which improve diagnoses. Technology automates tasks within the patient quality of care which previously had to be carried out by people. Rather than having nurses take time to give injections, infusion pumps can be used as an alternative which allows nurses to have more time to spend on other activities involving patient safety and care. Furthermore, technology allows for the collection of patient data and the quality of patient care. This information gathered can help to discover a variation in treatment and its outcomes, which helps to improve the quality of healthcare provided to patients (Thimbleby, 2013). Compliance with policies and guidelines (e.g., Health Information Technology for Economics and Clinical Health) ensures the privacy of patient information, where systems must be vigilant in how information is secured. Nonetheless, authentication procedures can be time-consuming, reducing the efficiency of healthcare performance. The HIMSS (2015) survey stated negligent insider as the most common security breach (for example walking away without logging off). An example of an unintentional data breach was reported by a healthcare company returning equipment without erasing healthcare data stored. As a result, there was a settlement of more than $1.2 million (Department of Health and Human Services, 2021: 161). Security network information is another risk by having computers linked together within healthcare organisations, resulting in possible exposure of patient information to unauthorised users (e.g., insiders, hackers, or viruses) (Mastrian & McGonigle, 2021:158). Though technological innovation will continue to transform healthcare, network accessibility and human factors will continue to remain limitations, posing security risks (Mastrian & McGonigle, 2021:168).
