Interoperability is the integration of multiple information systems applications and devices to allow for real-time, cost-effective, and equitable consumer data access. It improves healthcare coordination as providers can access, retrieve, and exchange information, based on mutual cooperation and trust across multiple organizations and regional boundaries (Lehne, Sass, Essenwanger, Schepers & Thun, 2019). Although a significant majority of healthcare organizations in the US have shifted from paper-based records to electronic health records following the enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, interoperability is yet to achieve significant traction in the health system (Shull, 2019). Interoperability and consumer data access promote information portability and secure data and information sharing to add value to workflows. It minimizes the risk for care fragmentation, duplicity or missed healthcare services and averts the likelihood of grave medical errors. Lack of interconnected and integrated health systems at my facility inhibits real-time timely access to patient information and data for individuals receiving medical care from other providers (Reisman, 2017). It creates inefficient workflows, as using manual methods to gather data from previous health providers through phone calls or methods such as emails that require waiting for responses is time-consuming and cost-ineffective. It is essential that clinicians are able to access data bout patients’ past medical histories, payers, medication, and other important data in a timely manner to provide high-quality care that is relevant to the present medical issues. Issues such as high costs interconnecting systems and privacy concerns about patients’ health records and the use of different electronic health records act as barriers to effective interoperability (Reisman, 2017). My health facility has collaborated with other health organizations within the local community to address the safety and security issues hindering consumer data access such as information theft. The group of organizations intends to pool resources to share high costs of developing interconnected systems that comply with HIPPA rules and regulations.

Re: Topic 2 DQ 1  Workplace violence in the health industry is greater than any other sector of employment, in fact the Federal Bureau of Statistics reports that violence in the healthcare is “3.8 times higher than all of private industry.” (Wolfe, 2018) In fact, the National Nurses United, the largest union of registered nurses reported workplace violence rates increased by 110% from 2005 to 2014. Examples of workplace violence include direct physical assaults (with or without weapons), written or verbal threats, physical or verbal harassment, and homicide (Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA, 2015). Nurses in the Emergency Room are at greatest risk for violence. Three out of four nurses routinely experience acts of verbal and physical violence, including, hitting, kicking, yelling and cursing from patients and visitors according to the January 2015 issue Journal of Emergency Nursing.  Statistically violence in emergency rooms is on the rise, however, our organization has specifically seen a drastic increase of violence in the emergency room. Long wait times due to failing healthcare systems, patients suffering from mental health issues and substance abuse are contributing factors. Law enforcement in our county readily bring patients who are altered on drugs or suffering from mental health issues to our facility because other hospitals mental health services have shrunk or they have removed the programs their services and other hospitals require them to stay with the patient while we readily accept them and dismiss the officers, making our hospital the easier and more time efficient option for them. Because of the growing higher population of older adults in our specific area due to several large senior living communities and long term care/rehab facilities within the vicinity of our campus, we see a large number of patients that suffer from situations and diseases that alter the mental status of the individual.  The implications are devastating. Nurses who experience violence in the workplace often suffer emotional, psychological, physical and professional consequences. Nurses often experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress after a violent incident. They may avoid talking about the event, have flashbacks, feel fearful angry, frustrated or helpless, they may also avoid patients or situations that may trigger all of these feelings. Nurses lose cognitive focus after a violent event. (Gillespie et al, 2010). Workplace violence is very costly. It is estimated that it costs billions of dollars a year. (Higazee and Rayan, 2017). Not to mention loss of work for the professional due to injury. Some nurses choose to leave the profession all together.  Busby,G. ( Jan, 2017). Incidence and Costs of Workplace Violence.
