Electronic Medical Record Systems will first incorporate big data and analytics and use artificial intelligence. These tools will enable doctors to find patterns and conclusions with health sector data. For instance, they can perhaps forecast future health problems that may be fatal once they have developed, but with early diagnosis, they can be treated depending on overall health requirements.

I couldn't get the emr to work on my computer yesterday while I was actually at work, so I still have all my notes to do and I've spent all afternoon sitting on the couch actively avoiding doing notes

Data Analytics in Electronic Medical Records (EMR)

The integration of data analytics into Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems is revolutionizing the healthcare industry by transforming raw data into actionable insights that enhance patient care and operational efficiency. As healthcare providers increasingly adopt EMR systems, the vast amounts of data generated present both opportunities and challenges. Effective data analytics can help healthcare organizations leverage this data to improve clinical outcomes, streamline workflows, and optimize financial performance.

The Importance of Data Analytics in EMR:

Data analytics plays a crucial role in extracting meaningful information from EMR systems. By analyzing patient data, healthcare providers can identify trends, monitor patient outcomes, and make informed decisions that lead to improved care delivery. For instance, analytics can help in identifying patient populations at risk, tracking disease outbreaks, and measuring the effectiveness of treatments. This data-driven approach supports the transition to value-based care, where the focus is on patient outcomes rather than the volume of services provided.

Key Benefits of Data Analytics in EMR:

Enhanced Patient Care: By utilizing analytics, healthcare providers can gain insights into patient histories, treatment responses, and potential risks, allowing for personalized treatment plans and proactive interventions.

Operational Efficiency: Data analytics can streamline administrative processes by identifying inefficiencies and optimizing resource allocation. This leads to reduced wait times, improved patient flow, and better utilization of staff and facilities.

Financial Insights: Analytics can help healthcare organizations monitor financial performance, identify revenue gaps, and optimize billing processes. By analyzing claims data and patient demographics, providers can enhance their revenue cycle management.

Regulatory Compliance: With the increasing focus on compliance in healthcare, data analytics can assist organizations in adhering to regulations such as HIPAA and meaningful use requirements by ensuring accurate reporting and data management.

Challenges in Implementing Data Analytics:

Despite the benefits, many healthcare organizations face challenges in effectively implementing data analytics within their EMR systems. Common obstacles include:

Data Silos: Often, data is trapped in separate systems, making it difficult to access and analyze comprehensively. Integrating data from various sources is essential for holistic insights.

User-Friendly Interfaces: Many EMR systems lack intuitive interfaces for data extraction and analysis, leading to frustration among healthcare providers who need quick access to information.

Resource Constraints: Limited IT resources and expertise can hinder the development and implementation of effective analytics solutions, making it challenging to derive value from EMR data.

The Future of Data Analytics in EMR:

As technology continues to evolve, the future of data analytics in EMR systems looks promising. Advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning are expected to enhance predictive analytics capabilities, enabling healthcare providers to anticipate patient needs and outcomes more accurately. Additionally, the growing emphasis on interoperability will facilitate better data sharing among healthcare organizations, leading to more comprehensive insights and improved patient care.

In conclusion, data analytics in EMR systems is a powerful tool that can significantly enhance the quality of care provided to patients while improving operational efficiency and financial performance for healthcare organizations. By overcoming existing challenges and leveraging advanced analytics technologies, healthcare providers can unlock the full potential of their EMR data, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and a more effective healthcare system.

Golfer's elbow and tennis elbow are some of the most persistently painful injuries to deal with. If you're dealing with a condition like this, you need to get better as soon as you can so you can get back to doing what you care about. The best way to accelerate your recovery time is through proven scientific methods of healing.

The BFST (Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy) device from King Brand has been proven to significantly boost the healing process, and can result in a full recovery from soft tissue injuries, including golfer's/tennis elbow. This is a FDA registered medical device, which produces specially controlled and incredibly safe levels of electromagnetic energy. This energy is able to penetrate and be effective in the soft tissue, to stimulate healthy blood flow and get oxygen and nutrients to the source of your pain.

We use our elbows every day, all the time, so it's important to keep those elbows in good condition. With consistent usage, the BFST also results in strengthening the entire area you treat, which helps to prevent reinjury in the future.

This cutting-edge technology has been able to change multiple lives. Living with chronic pain from a soft tissue injury can have a negative effect on more than one part of your life. The BFST is the best solution to actually heal from these injuries. There are other "band-aid" solutions offered, like cortisone shots, which will only temporarily mask the pain, or physical therapy, which works for some, but leads to additional aggravation for others. The BFST acts as a boost to the natural healing process your body is already doing - the increased blood flow creates a pathway for the damaged tissue to repair itself back together.

Wireless radiation could be used to surveil people without their knowledge or consent, even if they aren’t wearing a “smart” device or holding a cellphone, according to the authors of a new study.

The study authors — engineering faculty members with the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science at the University of Porto, Portugal — posted their report Jan. 24 on the Cornell University open-access research website, arXiv.

The study showcases hardware the authors designed that leveraged ambient wireless radiofrequency (RF) radiation to detect and render a visual image of human activity — such as waving a hand or a person’s breathing rate — with over 90% accuracy.

Their design involved a thin programmable surface — a Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) — that communicates with computers and artificial intelligence (AI).

RIS can manipulate and steer Wi-Fi signals in controlled ways, explained Fariha Husain, manager of Children’s Health Defense’s (CHD) Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) & Wireless Program. “By adjusting how radio waves reflect off this surface, the researchers were able to enhance signal-sensitivity and improve their ability to detect subtle human movements.”

You seem to be well read on OW lore so I have to ask. Wtf are the dragons?? Are they real spirits?? Is it a hologram?? And by extension, how does Kiriko’s fox thing work?? Is there actually a spiritual realm in OW?? And if that’s the case, is the iris connected to that?? (Am losing my mind ever since Kiriko got revealed cause how can all the teleporting and talisman and her ult be explained with technology)

Srry if you’ve made a post about this already and I just didn’t find it btw 💀

Oh, I wish I could give you a solid answer for this question.

Because canonically, up until Kiriko, it was stated that there is no magic in the OW universe. Meaning, originally, the dragons were technology. Do we know what kind of technology? No, cause this was in yee olden days of Overwatch lore and we were lucky to get anything that related to lore.

But with the introduction of Kiriko, it's blurred the lines a bit, and what's blurring them even more is the fact that the writers are doing things and confirming things that were previously debunked. Such as God AI's featuring very heavily in the OW lore when Anubis was supposed to be a one off villian, and Emre Sarioglu being the same guy in Ana's photo. Meaning it's entirely possible that the writers have changed their views on magic being included in the OW universe.

So I can't give a solid answer until I myself have been given answers. However, I can try and explain how the dragons and the fox could be technology;

First off the dragons because they're the easiest to explain. There have been many theories of what technology the dragons could be but the most believable is that they are some form of hardlight technology. My personal theory is that the dragons are a combination of an early predecessor to hardlight technology combined with some biosocial aspect to make the dragons easier for a person to control (the biological aspect probably being something to do with the tattoos).

As for Kiriko's powers, that's a little harder to explain. Like the dragons I think the fox would be a mix of hardlight and some biological component, since we do see from Symmetra's old kit that hardlight does have support qualities. Her talisman could actually be explained with nanobiotics, we know that after the fall of Overwatch Mercy's tech was basically stolen so it isn't that far out of the question that Kiriko's talisman could be a smaller version of Mercy's staff, using the same homing and healing technology. As for her teleportation I don't really know how she would do that but we do know that self teleportation is possible because of Sombra, Kiriko could be using a more official and advanced version of Sombra's tech? Or maybe she's doing something like Sym's teleport turrets? We haven't really seen much teleportation in the OW universe, only three characters being able to do it, two of them obviously using some tech to do it. So Kiriko teleporting, though not entirely out of the question, is hard to justify with technology since the tech isn't obvious.

Kindle Scribe

my curiosity got the better of me and I got a kindle scribe, this is after that I had gotten a hands-on with Remarkable 2 at a bestbuy and had given me a pretty good impression of their implementation of EMR pen technology. however I could not recommend it for artist because its bare-bone feature set and file management limitations.

while during the may Firmware update, they added several new drawing tools, Pencil, Fountain Pen and Marker, Lasso tool that does copy/paste and resize, I feel it can still use pan and zoom, as well as some sort of Layer Function to be really useful drawing tools.

It has very limited file support, mainly PNG and PDFs, but primarily the latter, and it need to export through Amazon cloud service, in which they email the PDF to you, and vis versa, this makes it less than useful from an art making perspective. It would be better if it has more file format support like PSD and can independently export web friendly file formats to mass storage device and transfer via usb.

The upside though, was the implementation of the pen was excellent, and has nearly imperceptible lag, which considering how low the refresh rate E-Ink screen has, I don't know how it manage that.

However, without some ways to export to different file format or to import them to work on, and without some type of layer features, it isn't something I can recommend for artist.

Katherine and Matthew are going to kill someone if they haven't already.

I had a patient with schizophrenia coming in for "psychotic episodes". He's been in prison for ten years now, being treated for six.

And the first things I see is the patient puckering his lips and the inside of his mouth bulging as if his tongue is pressing against the inner cheek. His left fingers and arm move rhythmically, wiggling, but he does not seem to notice or care.

He speaks with a negative affect, and I notice his tongue twisting in his mouth as if out of his control. It hampers his speaking some. Alarm bells are ringing in my head now. But I ask him if there's a problem or a sore in his mouth after constantly seeing him use his tongue to bulge out his cheek repeatedly.

The man immediately stands up and starts yelling. Security starts to restrain him from leaning forward at me. He yells that he keeps telling everyone that all the tongue and lip and arm stuff are outside his control - as if a demon is controlling them. And he tells them he doesn't want to take his meds anymore cause he's sure they're causing his problems, but they keep making him take them. And when he gets angry that no one's listening, people accuse him of having a psychotic break like now. He breathes heavily, staring at me, but he's noticably calmer.

I ask security to stand down. He sits down in his seat grumpily, cuffs rattling.

I take him through his med list and immediately raise an eyebrow.

He's on four separate antipsychotics. High doses of them too. Risperidol, Arpiprazole, Olanzapine, Chlopramazine. I don't have his prior medical notes available because our EMR broke down today due to our Windows ME-level technology, so I ask him why he's on so many meds.

He reiterates that doctors here don't listen. Yeah, he has schizophrenia. He sees things. He hears things. But he's never had something controlling his body before, and it scares him, and he knows it's not his schizophrenia, but people insist it's his schizophrenia. And so everyone keeps adding to his medications he has to take when he complains about the weird involuntary movements, but it feels like it's getting worse. And when he absolutely refused to take any more, they restrained him in the name of public safety and forcibly gave him a drug cocktail that left him in a mental fog for days.

That's the moment I realized how fucked up thr situation is.

The "demons controlling the man's limbs?". That's not him being crazy or faking things.

He's suffering from Tardive Dyskinesia, a side effect from long-term anti-psychotic use. Probably made significantly worse by them adding more antipsychotic drugs that can cause it. The involuntary motions - lip-smacking, tongue rolling, chorea-like limb movements - are all classic signs. And what's worse is that this has been going on for close to several years, so this could very well be permanent.

The "treatment" for tardive dyskinesia is to discontinue the medicine. But you don't suddenly discontinue a patient off an antipsychotic or in this case multiple of them. You need to taper the patient off, but I don't have any of that expertise, especially when the guy is on four different antipsychotics.

I was genuinely pissed off the moment everything clicked. But with as much composure I could muster, I looked him in the eyes and told the guy that I think he's on too many meds right now, and I'm going to request that the state provides an actual board-certified pyschiatrist.

And that he will be seen by one today - or at the very most tomorrow. And if it doesn't happen, I am going to raise hell.

I think he and the guards were a bit shocked. In hindsight, I was too. But I think the gross incomptence of this correctional facility had hit my final fucking nerve.

I do suspect this guy may be purging himself whenever he takes the antipsychotics because with that high of four separate drugs, he should be catatonic. But I'm not a psychiatrist. Neither is the person "taking care" of my patient either - but he still has the audacity to prescribe all those psych meds without knowing what they actually do.

What gall! What hubris!

I wish I had the confidence to be that stupid!
