    Most of Civil Right Leaders’ accomplishments are always tainted as an unintentional coincidence. Rosa Parks’ incident on the bus, where she was asked to give up her seat to a white man, made her known as the face of the civil rights movement. Even though she took bold and clear actions, she was labeled as a quiet, old woman who happened to be in an unfortunate incident accidentally. In the article, “ How History Got the Rosa Parks Story Wrong”, Theoharis uses documentary evidence to show how Rosa Parks was a lifelong activist, a rebel and an outspoken person to challenge the belief Rosa Parks was a quiet woman.…

    It has only been within the last five years that health information management (HIM) has experienced exponential changes, due to the healthcare reform. The electronic health record (EHR) is connected to health information exchanges and other systems of interoperability. The timely completion of charts, coding and release of information (ROI) has become much more efficient with the electronic record. Traditional HIM functions will just be transformed and will always be an integral part of successful patient care. Professionals must be flexible and willing to adapt and even generate change. As Health Information Technology continues to evolve, so will the roles of HIM personnel (Dennard, 2010).…

    Electronic Health Records is the technology that I find most beneficial at work. It helps nurses, doctors and other healthcare providers to access patient information literally for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. EHR allows for a better coordinated care for all patients. The information can be transmitted immediately to other providers. EHR allows nurses and doctors to navigate through patients’ data that is far better than pulling charts on the cabinets and searching through pages of the chart to obtain one or two information. The beauty of EHR is that multiple healthcare providers can access the same records at the same time. There are some short comings about electronic health records such as when the system is off line, documentation…

    Rosa Parks is often referred to as the Mother of the modern civil rights movement. Historically she has been depicted as a prim, virtuous, diminutive lady who was merely too tired after a long day at work to move from her seat. Had she been Catholic she surely would have been canonized by now; St. Rosa, the patron saint of bus riders. Forty-two years old at the time of the bus boycott, she was described by Martin Luther King Jr, as “. . the victim–emphasis mine–of both the forces of history and the forces of destiny. She had been tracked down by the Zeitgeist–the spirit of the times.”…
