Women and Religion

1:Using the lecture, weekly reading and keywords from Week 7, discuss the following quotation from the textbook in relation to the TED Talk Alaa Murabit:
What my religion really says about women.

“The second common element is that all feminisms hold that gender relations are characterised by inequality. Literally meaning ‘rule of the father’, patriarchy broadly describes the nature of this inequality, which sees women—and indeed the feminine—largely subordinated within the gender order socially and economically.” (P. 133)

QUESTION 2
Using the lectures, weekly readings and keywords from Week 8, discuss the following quotation from the textbook in relation to the TED Talk Gail Reed:
Where to train the world’s doctors? Cuba.

“The first issue is that the word ‘technology’ seems to conjure images of hardware—of technology as a thing. However, the word ‘technology’ has its roots in the Greek word techne, meaning art, craft, skill or expertise. Technologies, as Mackenzie and Wajcman (1999) point out, bundle together devices and the human skills to work them, maintain them and bring them into our daily lives. New technologies involve new ways of doing things—know-how as well as actual devices; they involve integrated systems of activities, materials and distributed processes.” (P. 363)

QUESTION 3
Using the lecture, weekly reading and keywords from Week 12, discuss the following quotation from the textbook in relation to the TED Talk Adrian Midwood:
Beyond the coastlines.

“It may seem that today is a terrible time to be alive, as drastic ecological changes and a global environmental crisis threaten our existence. We may be facing a serious threat, but there is no reason to despair: we also have many tools at our disposal for positive change.” (P. 358)

QUESTION 4
Using the lecture, weekly reading and keywords from Week 13, discuss the following quotation from the textbook in relation to the TED Talk Parag Khanna:
Mapping the future of countries.

“Jan Aart Scholte, one of the pre-eminent critical thinkers on globalisation, defines it as ‘a reconfiguration of social geography marked by the growth of transplanetary and supra-territorial connections between people’ (2005, p. 8). (P.331)

2:Business Case for replacing legacy electronic medical record systems with one enterprise electronic medical record system

Project Name: System-Wide Electronic Health Record Replacement

Project Description: Implement a single, integrated enterprise electronic health record (EHR) solution/system to replace the two existing electronic healthcare record systems across the organization.

Justification: As reimbursement models transition away from fee-for-services, economic incentives for data sharing are increasingly important to achieve effective transitions of care, population health management, and manage total cost of care. An integrated enterprise electronic healthcare record (EHR) system will enable the organization to benefit from integrating and sharing clinical and financial data across ambulatory, acute, and the post-acute care environment leveraging a central data repository with a single patient record. This focus on the patient will help physicians make good decisions, improves outcomes for patients, and will foster efficient operations. An integrated EHR solution also enables patients to have access to their complete health record and interact with their physicians, schedule appointments, pay their bill, and engage in their care through a single portal. Information system management and maintenance will also be simplified through the consolidation of existing best-of-breed solutions (GE Centricity Acute EHR and the Allscripts Ambulatory HER Systems) and the ability to apply common processes for a single system or solution.

Currently there is dissatisfaction from physicians and other clinicians with the usability of the existing EHR solutions and associated department-based clinical information systems across the enterprise. Investing in a new integrated EHR system with a clear roadmap and strategic vision for adoption will result in significant improvements in satisfaction levels of clinicians and physicians across the enterprise. Connectivity to other institutions will allow for seamless transmission of patient data with a single click.

By moving to a single, integrated EHR System, Scripps will significantly reduce its current Information Services application portfolio by up to 56 applications while increasing functionality across the care continuum with minimal FTE additions. This will result in substantial savings associated with software upgrades, maintaining separate disaster recovery systems, and system maintenance of approximately $200 million dollars over a ten-year time horizon.
