A 30-year-old male is admitted to the hospital after an evaluation in the emergency room. After undergoing a series of blood tests and a kidney scan he is diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. After three days of receiving intravenous fluids and antibiotics, he is discharged home in fair condition. The hospital uses electronic processes to retrieve and store patient records. If you were performing an analysis of this medical record, you would expect to find several documents and clinical evaluations. But before you do, you think about the application of The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) and its impact on documentation standards and how these types of cases may impact your career going forward.
Explore the history of health information management (HIM) and the AHIMA organization and then answer the questions below. 1.Make note of the definition for HIM, and review AHIMA’s history, mission, and future predictions. Then, discuss documentation guidelines developed by AHIMA, and how they would apply to the scenario described above. 2.Describe how the recent and future technological changes in health records management has/will impact your chosen career path as a health care professional. You may use the AHIMA website as a source of information.
With the United States leading in terms of health care spending it comes at no surprise that there are some major issues that are effecting the health workforce as well as the health care delivery system as a whole. When it comes down to it the health care industry is a business and like the goal of any business it is trying to make the most money it can. Also like any other business or corporation, it is governed by rules and policies that restrict operations. The health care industry being the business it is will try to gain the most money and do what is most beneficial to them under these rules a policies. If there is no incentive to change and innovate provided by these rules and policies then why would a business oriented industry make any changes at a cost to them with no reward? With that being said, I think there is a large responsibility on the policy makers to try to combat the soaring costs of health care. That could mean more implementation of policy is some areas as well as removing policy in some areas. Policy makers are not the sole reason as to why health care is so expensive but there is a large role they play.
One way our local health care provider is striving to lower the cost of health care is simply by providing education to the public as well as developed things like “nursing hot lines”. These hot lines are just a number you can call to speak to a real nurse about health care issues that do not necessarily warrant an emergency room visit but you still think requires care. The nurse will advise you on whether or not you should go to an emergency room or visit a doctor based on your conversation. This could save people a lot of money from going to a doctors office just to be told they need water and rest. This hot line provides a screening process prior to getting to the doctor and cuts costs and wait times at the doctors office.

Discuss a primary care-focused visit devoted to wellness and or disease affecting women and health-enhancing strategies that you would include in the visit.
Peer 1 Response
One primary care-focused visit devoted to wellness is the annual wellness visit (AWV). Components of this visit should include updating immunizations and suggesting needed immunizations, blood pressure checks to screen for hypertension, obesity counseling if needed, and any counseling for tobacco and alcohol use. Also important is doing a functional status review, screening for fall risk and cognitive abilities for seniors (Adler, 2017). If the patient were a senior with a chronic problem it would be good to do problem-focused physical exam and explore any patient concerns, if any. The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is still an underutilized benefit for seniors, even though it can offer many benefits to increase a person’s preventive care. According to (Harvard Men’s Health Watch, 2017), this visit does not focus on a physical exam, but is instead a conversation with your health care provider about important health issues. This visit provides time for the patient to plan with their health care provider a healthy future. Other health-enhancing strategies focused on in this visit are a vision test, to detect if the patient needs glasses, a stronger prescription, or have signs of an eye disease. A balance test will be done to help gauge the risk for falls, as well as a hearing evaluation to see if the patient would benefit from a formal hearing test.
Another part of the AWV is developing a personalized plan to address ways the patient can stay active and maintain their current health. One primary care assessment that should be done at every visit is a depression screening. This doesn’t have to be a long questionnaire, the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2) is a good screening tool. It consists of just 2 questions from the PHQ-9. If the patient screens positive with the PHQ-2, the full PHQ-9 can be completed. According (Fuchs, Haradhvala, & Uebelacker, 2015), the PHQ-2 has demonstrated strong validity and high sensitivity for detecting major depression in primary care.
Peer 2 Response
Women’s health care is a detailed visit that is focused on many different aspects of care. For example, women need education on special topics at all ages of life. One of the major concerns for aging women is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones that occurs when there is bone loss, or the body makes too little bone, or both loss and decreased production (NOF, 2018). This conditon causes bones to become extremely fragile, which increases the risk of fracture. Fractures can occur following a fall or injury, or in severe cases even from a minor bump to the area (NOF, 2018). Osteoporotic bones have a honeycomb appears due to the loss in bone density. For women over 50, the risk of osteoporosis increases and the provider should order a bone density scan to monitor the structure of the bone. Bone density scans are the only diagnostic testing for osteoporosis prior to a broken bone (NOF, 2018). The diagnostic test for bone density is done through x-ray called a Dexa Scan. Dexa stands for dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. (NOF, 2018). Dexa scans should be conducted every 1-2 years depending on patient history and risk factors. The Dexa scan results are determined by a T-score. Normal T-score results are -1.0 and anything above -1.0 are mild to severe osteoporosis (NOF, 2018). One of the medications used to treat osteoporosis is Actonel. Actonel is an oral medication that is taken daily. The mediation is designed to slow bone loss and even help to prevent fractures. (Actonel, 2017). One of the side effects that needs to be discussed with patients is that is can cause GI upset, so it the patient has a history of GI issues, another medication is most likely the better option.

Discuss the CDC breastfeeding initiative and describe how you will support this when interacting with your pregnant and postpartum women in the primary care setting.
Peer Resp#1
Our bodies are amazing at what they do, there’s no way to fully replace what the body does naturally. That is why organ donation is such a great gift and why we should use our bodies to the fullest in every aspect of life and respect the wonderful life we’ve been given. Breastfeeding is the most essential, dynamic and profitable way of providing an infant with the nutrients they need as they enter the world outside of the womb (Farhan, Das & Malik, 2018).
Not only does breastfeeding benefit the infant, but it has important consequences for the mother as well. Breastfeeding can lower the risk for certain cancers including breast and ovarian as well as decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (Grummer-Strawn et al., 2013). The CDC has started many initiatives to ensure that mothers in the United states have adequate access to lactation services and understand the best way to nourish their newborn. That being said, there are still many mothers who are unable to breastfeed but there is hope for those who desire to have breastmilk for their baby. Donor breastmilk is the milk of choice when a mother’s own milk is not available. Research clearly demonstrates that human milk decreases the rates of pediatric infections such as necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) and sepsis (Coutsoudis et al., 2011).
Encouraging mothers to research the benefits of breastfeeding and educating as the mother and family as they are willing is the goal of the nurse practitioner. Ultimately, it is the choice of the mother to partake in breastfeeding, but proper education and encouragement should be offered for new parents.
Peer Response#2
The CDC is currently on a mission to improve the breastfeeding in the nation by current, new, and prospective mothers. Nowadays the CDC is actively promoting and engaging with new and potential mothers and well as past mothers to gather information regarding their pregnancies, determining thoughts and practices and how to move forward with the promotion of breastfeeding (CDC, 2018). From years 2011 to 2015, the CDC has been conducting a study to determine the difference in breastfeeding by demographic variables, which provided them with information regarding cultures and areas where improvement could be made, and where their advocacy needed to be expanded and promoted. These areas have gained additional promotion regarding health benefits for both mom and baby, as well as the advantage of a cheaper alternative to formula (Anstey et al., 2017). A variety of issues with moms were discovered in these areas concerning breastfeeding and its practice. Some of these new moms are unsure of breastfeeding and unfamiliar with the method. Some of the moms are interested in breastfeeding but then revert to formula.
The CDC has adopted the ten breastfeeding steps that are being successfully implemented by the WHO and UNICEF organizations; and has been used for promotion throughout hospitals and a variety of healthcare settings as a tool to promote and to make breastfeeding a successful and healthy experience for mom and baby (Sriraman, 2017). This promotion could be critical as many mothers would attempt to breastfeed their baby as well. This guide and assistance gives new moms information and a guideline to help their newborns attach. They could also meet with a support team that assists them and has the specialized experience to encourage and teach the mom with the proper practice of breastfeeding.
As practitioner one should encourage a mother to breastfeed if possible, because of the significant benefits of it, such as the decrease chance of the baby of having an allergy to the mother’s breast milk. However, there could be contraindications to breastfeeding that must be looked at as well. According to the CDC (2018), a mother who is addicted or who has a disease should not breastfeed, such as a mother with HIV because the disease or drug could pass to the baby through the breast milk.
