    New to Health Care HCS/212 August 14, 2013 Dana Jankus New to Health Care In the past 20 years, there has been a huge growth of digital radiology in various organizationsThe article in general was written back in April 2000. It discusses about clinical trial with the digital radiology specifically using the Xplore 1000 digital system. In the year 2000, a chiropractor was the first to install this particular system for commercial use. There was an improvement in diagnostic and clinical information. Patients were getting faster results and getting a better understanding of their condition. One benefit of digital x-ray has become common in most hospitals and clinics is that it creates a digital picture archive within hospital communication systems allowing doctors to have easy access their patient images. It is designed to replace film in just about any existing X-ray imaging equipment used today and does not require film developers, processing chemicals or storage space. Another benefit is that digital X-ray images can be obtained almost instantly and their resolution, contrast and clarity are at least as good as those of film (Kermode-Scott,2000). Conventional film can take generally 10-15 minutes to process. Its takes up a large amount of time and the processing chemicals can be a bit much to deal with. Digital imaging is also being touted for its ability to capture more information than film. For example, radiologists can view New to Health Care the lungs, heart, bones and a pacemaker from one shot rather than the multiple shots required by conventional radiographs (Kermode-Scott, 2000). Digital imaging would change the office and for the better. We would not need the tall giant-sized book shelves to hold the x-rays films we have in envelopes. We would have so much more space. The office would save paper because we would not have to file x-ray reports with the films. We can do everything from the desktop computer. Also a big plus to digital imaging…

    The development of PACS (picture archiving and communication system) has revolutionised image viewing in westernised healthcare systems. Compared to film, digital imaging offers the flexibility and convenience for medical professionals. A consequence to PACS usage is that the radiologist would spend a majority of their working day in front of a computer monitor. Even when the radiologist is not reporting on images, they would still be facing a monitor through various meetings. With the use of the tests mentioned, measuring visual acuity should be mandatory for radiologists and be consistently examined in regular periods (Halpenny et al.…

Professor Kinsey, otherwise known as Prok, starts off as a biologist, but soon ventures into the world of human sexuality. As he begins his quest to learn more about human sexual encounters, we are able to clearly identify the research methods that he uses to gain such information. Prok initially uses surveys and interviews, which then lead to snowball samples, and finally he observes his subjects.…

    In my group dynamics class I was ask to observe a group in a social setting. I chose to observe my race and ethics class in new castle. The class had an Italian teacher from philly with a very strong personality. Only three males that happened to be black both older but come from three different walks of life. The first is a 34 year old from New York military background and married to a white woman. The second one is a 31-year-old male from Delaware a Historically Black College graduate and has also a military background. The last is a 23 year old from philly and from what I understand with a troubled background. There is five females in this class three of them are white and two black. In a class studying this type of material it seems the females are very uncomfortable speaking about this. So the class is very male dominated which as far as I can observe is the way the females prefer it on this topic. The following paper is set to break down the dynamics of the group setting in this class of far as I can view.…
