Organizational and Clinical Impact

Question: Discuss about the Organizational and Clinical Impact. Answer: Introduction Keeping the health track of the loved ones is really important as it can give a clear idea of how they are doing physically and if there is any ailment, then it can be detected and cured with the right medication. My Health Record is an application that has been launched recently which is free for everyone and anyone can register and provide their personal health information (Dinev et al., 2016). The biggest advantage of using it is that it is quite secure and no third person can view this information. There are few problems that it might face during its establishment (Macrae, 2016). Capabilities of My Health Record The capabilities of this application are limitless as this can save many persons who have registered themselves with this application. Also, with the help of this application doctors will know what the ailment is and they can share this information with other doctors also which will be of great use if any serious case arrives as the doctors would know what to do and what steps to be taken even before the patient arrives. As the whole world is digitalized, information sharing has become very easy and reliable too (King et al., 2014). The health information of the patients is currently distributed across a wide range of locations including the general hospitals, specialists and health practices. Having the clinical documents helps in improving the interaction between the patients and doctors. It is maintained in such a way that important patients information is shared electronically among the healthcare personals (Dinev et al., 2016). It gives unique identification number to each of it s patients so that it becomes easy for the doctors to identify a particular patient. Also it provides better security as without that unique code; the user cannot enter the system and view its details (Hemsley et al., 2017). The biggest advantage of implementing this system is that it has been adopted widely all over Australia and many major hospitals are also connected with it so it becomes easy for all the doctors to communicate also to forward the details of the patient to other doctors. It also provides secure messaging services where patients can talk with the doctors and ask for help if they are in any sort of trouble. This feature is available on both desktop and mobile application to ease the patients condition (Hemsley et al., 2016). Benefits of using My Health Record My Health Record is the application which has been developed by the Australian Government to help the people to record their health conditions so that they can share it with their local hospitals for any kind of emergency. If the situation is too critical, the doctors can share the information within themselves to take the necessary steps. Even if the person is moving or travelling, the very information can be easily viewed online anytime and anywhere. The person can control who can see these information also they can give the authorization to the doctors whether they can share it or not. The greatest advantage of using this application is that the person can view the information from anywhere where there is an internet connection. With the help of this web application, users can list different kinds of problems they are facing in order to get the best possible treatment from the doctors (Cheung et al., 2015). They can list their allergies, their reactions so the doctors can use any other alternate method to cure that person. Another benefit of using this is that the users do not have to enter the details again and again. Once they gave the details of their ailment, it gets stored securely in the database so when they enter any new record, the older data does not get overwritten. It also gives the freedom to search the records with dates (Hemsley et al., 2016). For all this to take place, the system server is built with strong security so that no other can view the details or even try to manipulate it. Another great feature to have is that users always need privacy and this application provides this as with this they can control who can view their details and with whom they can share their details (Kidd, 2016). Problems related to My Health Record The Australian government is so concerned with the health issues that they are not concentrating on the major issues that the users might face like the selling of data like the pharmaceutical companies can sell these data like rare blood disorder to the highest bidder. The biggest issue that this application could face is the breach in the site (Cheung et al., 2015). No system or server is secure as there are loopholes in every system and it is just a matter of time before anyone finds it hacks into the system (Kidd, 2016). They can also manipulate with the data also they can steal these data and are able to sell these data to different persons for a lump sum amount of money. Another problem that can be highlighted is that using this application, lower quality of care is received with higher costs (Dinev et al., 2016). Also, while filling the details, the details may not register due to some problems in the server. Another problem that can be cited is that these applications allows p atients to decide or control the accessibility of their information which can be quite troublesome as these medical data are more prone to hacks which can lead to identity threat (Neuendorf, 2016). Conclusion My Health Record application is an initiative that has been undertaken by the Australian Government so that the people of Australia can give their details of the ailments can get direct help with local doctors and practitioners. There are many benefits of using this application like the users can control whom they want to give the access to view these medical reports also the doctors can share this record with other doctors in the area so that they can take the necessary steps. But there are few problems also related to this like identity theft and these medical sites are more prone to hacks than the credits card so the government should take measures to reduce this threat.
