Healthcare and Patient Information Scenario Summary
Impact of using the Internet to Communicate Consumer Information
Of late, Internet utilization in health care settings has generated substantial interest. Though concerns regarding such issues as web-based communication and information quality and privacy remain, electronic technologies of the highest possible standard of quality guarantee an effective means for information dissemination, communication enhancement, and facilitation of health care improvements. Utilizing the Internet for improving communication between patients and their physicians can likely bring about improved medical care effectiveness and decreased costs. Effective provider-patient electronic communication can even possibly reduce the necessity for visits to the physician's clinic, in certain circumstances, as well as spending. However, increased electronic communication can potentially increase physicians' workloads without generating any improvements in health, or could even bring about a decline in effectiveness of patient care. A grasp of expanded communication's impacts is gaining increasing importance, in view of heightened efforts supporting increased adoption of electronic communication, facilitated by changes to policy, such as the inclusion of codes for enabling electronic communication compensation (Baker, Rideout, Gertler, & Raube, 2005).

GPS-GO Takes Garmin Analyze the personality and temperament of Joseph Thomas. Joseph Thomas is fundamentally an optimist and he likes a good challenge. Juxtaposing these two attributes of personality reveals a tendency to let the end goal drive a situation while simultaneously glossing over any details that appear to undermine the desired goal. This is not to say that Thomas ignored important details; rather, it is to say that Thomas allowed the
While this presents enterprises with unequalled levels of potential productivity gains, it also presents security and privacy challenges as well. In the context of cyber foraging, the issues of ethicacy and opt-in meet head-on, as the use of servers to cache locations and define locational preferences and habits of consumers. For these privacy reasons and the untested nature of location-aware advertising services, it is anticipated that GPS-enabled networks such
At each bus stop, digital signage will provide information on the bus routes that stop at this location, when the bus will arrive (wait time), and final destination. Buses rarely are exactly on time. Sometimes they are a minute ahead of schedule and people just get to the bus stop and see the bus go by. Other times, especially when the weather is bad, the bus can be late. Buses
Ibarra, P., Gur, O., & Erez, E. (2014). Surveillance as casework: Supervising domestic violence defendants with GPS technology. Crime Law Soc Change, 62(4), 417-444. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10611-014-9536-4 The gist and focal point of the article under review in this brief report and annotation is not all that complex. Indeed, there is a look at the use of surveillance and GPS technology as a means to supervise and keep an eye on people that are
Warrantless Use of GPS The Problem of Warrantless GPS Surveillance: Ethical Considerations Regarding Privacy and the Fourth Amendment The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unlawful search and seizure by granting them the right "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects" (U.S. Const. Amend IV). As the case of Burdeau v. McDowell (1921) showed, this Amendment has been interpreted as a protection of individuals from government intrusion. However, with the
Surveillance as casework: supervising domestic violence defendants with GPS technology deals with academic discussion over surveillance and the tendency to focus on its impact, spread, and ubiquity on society. Although such discussion can prove useful, there is also a need to discuss surveillance and how it is organized and implemented via practices rooted within justice system-based casework. The article draws from a GPS technology centered multi-study to demonstrate how
