Create a Response to your peer, Stephanie. First Discussion topic: Specific IT system applications in health services delivery fall into four main areas: 1. Clinical information systems 2. Administrative information systems 3. Decision support systems 4. Internet and eHealth Choose one of the above and discuss at least one influence of the system on healthcare delivery. Support your ideas with the literature. Second discussion topic: Technology diffusion has been accompanied by issues of cost, safety, benefit, and risk. Federal legislation has aimed at addressing these concerns. Which do you consider to be the most important area for focus? Support your ideas with rationales from the literature. From my peer, Stephanie: According to my peer, Stephanie, she stated that decision support systems (DSS) influence healthcare delivery by providing providers with timely evidence-based information and recommendations at the point of care. This ultimately improves patient outcomes, reduces errors and improves efficiency. DSS can analyze patient data, clinical guidelines, and other relevant information to assist providers in making a more informed decision about diagnosis, treatment, and care plans. It will help improve patient outcomes by providing access to the best evidence and practice. This can help reduce medical errors by flagging potential problems. A DSS can suggest appropriate actions and also remind providers of important steps in the care pathway. This can streamline workflows, reduce unnecessary testing and improve communication between providers leading to improved efficiency. It can help personalize care by taking a patient needs and tailoring care towards that individuals needs. They can notify providers of potential drug interactions or allergies. It can remind them about overdue preventive care. (Chen et al., 2023) (Sutton et al., 2020).My peer stated that Technology diffusion has been accompanied by issues of cost, safety, benefit, and risk. Federal legislation has been aimed at addressing these concerns. She believes the most important area to manage is safety for numerous reasons. Cost, benefit, and risk are also very important however the potential to cause harm must be addressed. Technology is intended to benefit society but sometimes this technology has the potential to do harm. For instance, an EMR data leak has the potential to cause multiple problems. According to OECD, legislation can play a crucial role for assessing the risks associated with new technology and to implement measures to mitigate those risks. New technologies can raise ethical considerations that need to be addressed and often technology advancements outpace regulations. People need to trust that technology is safe in order to adopt it (Gelijns
