Passage:

There is not much debate between having electronic medical records (EMR) versus standard paper and documenting to the local stations. EHRs promote quality of care, reduce costs, support patient mobility, increase the reliability of the information, and provide access to patient information to multiple healthcare providers (Usla, 2021). However, I felt I was not prepared to play the role of healthcare IT consultant in that scenario as I felt that I lacked the basic knowledge and expertise in information technology. In order to perform this job function in real life, I will need at least a certification program course for healthcare information technology. Despite the lack of basic knowledge, I enjoy this role as it exposed me to different scenarios away from my comfort zone. As a result, I have learned a lot of the background and the considerations that were done on a technology that I am currently using on a daily basis which has made me appreciate the simple luxury that I have as there were a lot of people sacrificed they're time and resources to attain the safest result for our patients and comfort for healthcare workers.

After a thorough interview with the corporate team, deliberating different opinions and understanding each positive and negative effect not only to the company but more importantly to patients, I recommend for eTrail system. I have really considered the information I got from Bob Walker as I felt that he was objective with his decision as well as from Kimberly O'Neill as she was able to give not only the financial analytics but also the security information. She not only focuses on the short-term solution but also envisions its impact in years to come. eTrail can give wireless capabilities as nurses can utilize tablets while charting and can quickly move from one room to another. It will also allow the providers easy access to patients' records as this can be accessed through the mobile device. Although it will be more expensive in the long run due to the renewal fee every 4 years for each licensee, it will have more layers of security from the firewall, and having a security consultant.
