Review Classmates Post

March 2, 2020 2 Comments APA, Health Care and Life Sciences

DIRECTIONS: RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING CLASSMATES POST. ALL SOURCES MUST BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.

POST: FHIR or the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource is a tool that has become increasingly popular for bringing disparate systems together. FHIR allows for the ability to connect different discrete elements so they can be shared between systems. FHIR is an interoperability standard that allows for a more flexible and functional process than other standards in current healthcare use today [1]. The solution is bi-directional and can read and write data. It is also flexible to the different levels of granularity whether that be individual data elements or entire documents. FHIR works with pluggable applications that patients or providers can download from Apple App Store. FHIR is a newer standard but has had a strong early uptake [1]. FHIR gives health IT teams with a standard to work against so they are able to build tools with their systems to help providers and provider teams to have access to pertinent patient information. FHIR has a simpler set of APIS than that of other standards which allows vendors to get up and running with FHIR easily and quickly [1]. Having FHIR provides a standard mechanism which is critical for interoperability and gaining access to patient data regardless of the system it originated from. One challenge that still exists even with FHIR is from the business perspective of not wanting to share data with a competing organization without a legal obligation to do so [1]. With FHIR, the focus is on reducing technology barriers to provide a better data model and providing new workflow options. FHIR still will not resolve issues of interoperability. Interoperability cannot be fixed with technological changes as they are related to business and culture. Because FHIR is relatively new, it faces barriers related to adoption. While the older standards are inferior to FHIR, they are in use today and it would cost money to remove and replace what already exists. FHIR also faces challenges with the two-way communication street between apps that patients can download on their phones and EHRs [1].

discussion 3

March 2, 2020 2 Comments APA, Other

Consider that in your process design work in this unit you are attempting to reduce the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total dissolved solids (TDS), and total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations, among other analytes listed on the laboratory reports embedded within the interactive model. Further, we learned in Unit I that solids can contribute up to 60% of the BOD concentrations in wastewater (Bahadori, 2014). Now consider Bahadoris (2014) comment regarding the fact that BOD and COD are seldom reduced significantly with chemical flocculation. You may need to revisit the definitions of these terms in Bahadoris (2014, pp. 281, 300-302) section of definitions and terminology.

1. Which treatment strategy would you suggest (filtration or chemical flocculation) in order to engineer a reduction in TDS concentrations? Why?

2. Which treatment strategy would you suggest (filtration or chemical flocculation) in order to engineer a reduction in TSS concentrations. Why?

3. Working with the interactive model embedded within the Unit III Lesson in the Study Guide, what chemical treatment equipment did you design into your treatment process? Why did you select this specific equipment for your process?

Traditional School Is A Better Option for Your Child

March 2, 2020 1 Comment APA, English and Literature

This is an argumentative essay of regular schooling vs homeschooling, specifically that regular schooling represents a better option for a child and his or her social development because of the important of socialization and interaction with other children.

-This essay has to make modifications such as; Be more specific in the introduction, provide more history, numbers, statistics, be more specific about what type of regular school is being talked about, such as high school, middle school, etc.

-Add more facts, statistics, scientific evidence of what is argued in the body paragraph.

-Also add more about the other point of view in this case homeschooling, types of homeschooling and why these types of education do not represent a better option for a child (demonstrate with facts, statistics, testimonials, personal experiences, etc.)

-In this essay there are interesting points of the argument but many of the sources were not cited or named in the body paragraph to prove their truth.

-3 more full pages will be added to this essay, plus the modifications.
