Strategic plan and support system framework (Implementation plan and governance) 344/ 400 The HL7 will be used to develop the following systems (Blaya, Fraser, & Holt, 2010; Health Level Seven International, 2014; Kabachinski, 2006; Lupton, 2012; Mansell, 2010). 1) Financial management system: Patient charges, staff salaries, as well as the ordering of management supplier and expenditure of clinical articles (such as food, pharmaceutical, medical equipment) (including the inventory and records), automated financial statements (including the classification of statistics and regular reports) (Roemer, 1993; WHO, 1999; Wright et al., 2000). 2) Personnel management system: statistics of hiring and employment of staff members, as well as patient admission, referrals, discharge from hospital, and mortality. 3) Medical records and information management system: must involve the use of the scope and authority related to executives, physicians, nurses, patients and related medical personnel (Dolin, et al., 2001; Sujansky, et al., 2009; McFarland et al., 2010). This aspect includes document management, reports of inspection and examination, patient-oriented nursing records, the patient appointment system, and the health self-management system (McFarland et al., 2010). 4) Referral systems and resource reporting system: Referral information related to medical institutions and the hierarchical referral system, patients with a past history of basic information, as well as available resources. 5) Laboratory and pharmacy automated system: including the status and lists of equipment, automatic notifications, repair, maintenance and records; status, lists, inventory, orders, records and management of drugs (Dolin et al., 2006; McFarland et al., 201... ... middle of paper ... ...y disrupt the health system and deliver on its promise?

...nce an incident that may not be seen as such by staff working in the same environment but, if the staffs have frequently witness that the same incident occur; they may stop reporting the incident. However, database application system can save charting time which could be utilized to provide care to residents. Administration function like medical records, risk assessments, daily reports and coding requires documentations from the service users` electronic medical record database to enhance the EHR, which link the EHR data with databases containing standardized assessment information from external healthcare systems. If the database is not similar as to what other healthcare systems use, it is impossible to share information from EHR database with other clinical application systems.
National health systems are assessed by the extent to which expenditure and actions in public health and medical care contributes to the crucial social goals of improving health, increasing access to quality healthcare, reducing health disparities, protecting citizens from penury due to medical e...

Denmark is a small high-income country with a high population density, is governed by a constitutional monarchy, has a central parliament and is administratively divided into regions, municipalities and has 2 dependencies (Greenland and the Faroe Islands) (Kravitz & Treasure, 2009). It has a national health service (funded by general taxation) and a decentralized healthcare system in which the individual regions run most services and the municipalities are responsible for some public health services (Kravitz & Treasure, 2009). However, a process of (re) centralization (under the structural reform of 2007) has been taking place, which has lowered the number of regions from 14 to 5 and the municipalities from 275 to 98 (Olejaz, Nielsen, Rudkjøbing, Okkels, Krasnik & Hernández-Quevedo, 2012; Schäfer et al., 2010). The hospital structure is also undergoing reform, moving towards fewer, bigger and more specialized hospitals (Olejaz, Nielsen, Rudkjøbing, Okkels, Krasnik & Hernández-Quevedo, 2012). Greenland and the Faroe Islands are independent in health matters but follow the Danish Legislation (Kravitz & Treasure, 2009). The National Board of Health (NBH) (based in Copenhagen) is responsible for the legislation concerning dentistry in Denmark (Kravitz & Treasure, 2009; Schäfer et al., 2010).
A country’s health care system refers to all the institutions, programs, personnel, procedures, and the resources that are used to meet the health needs of its population. Health care systems vary from one country to another, depending on government policies and the health needs of the population. Besides, health care programs are flexible in the sense that they are tailored to meet health needs as they arise. Among the stakeholders in the formulation of a country’s health care system are governments, religious groups, non-governmental organizations, charity organizations, trade/labor unions, and interested individuals (Duckett, 2008). These entities formulate, implement, evaluate, and reform health services according to the needs of the sections of the population they target.
The basis of health reform is built on the fundamental structures of politics, medicine, and society. Medicine is a continuously changing field that requires the adaptation to different techniques and situations. Contradicting the evolving medical field, the advancement of health policies have remained at a standstill as changes are rarely made. The loss of resources and efficiency in the overall health system is the result of a lack of correlation between the evolving field of medicine and the progression of an inclusive health insurance. Antonia Maioni, the author of Parting at the Crossroads: The Development of Health Insurance in Canada and the United States, emphasize the vast similarities pertaining to healthcare services, medical research
The above definition is relatively broad, yet it does not cover all the features a PHR might have. Many experts believe that access to personal health information by itself cannot improve the quality of care nor it can empower patients and help them make informed decision unless they have access to some tools and services to interact with the system and get support for their decisions. Secure communication between patients and caregivers, app...
Our clinical knowledge is expanding. The researcher has first proposed the concept of electronic health record (EHR) to gather and analyze every clinical outcome. By late 1990s computer-based patient record (CPR) replaced with the term EHR (Wager et al., 2009). The process of implementing EHR occurs over a number of years. An electronic record of health-related information on individual conforms interoperability standards can create, manage and consult with the authorized health professionals (Wager et al., 2009). This information technology system electronically gather and store patient data, and supply that information as needed to the healthcare professionals, as well as a caregiver can also access, edit or input new information; this system function as a decision support tools to the health professionals. Every healthcare organization is increasingly aware of the importance of adopting EHR to improve the patient satisfaction, safety, and lowering the medical costs.
This report is based on the major and specific global health problems in the world. Global health refers to the health of all people in the world which concerns about the health issues that go beyond the borders of each country due to the globalization ( Dyar & Costa, 2013). As well as health issues are referred to the health problems created due to this globalization.
