Jetblue and the vetrans administration Casestudy

Q. A small, undocumented change resulted in collapse of the VA system, largely because of the high interrelationship between it applications. What is the positive side of this high degree of interconnection, and how does this benefit patients? Provide examples from case to justify your answer? ANS. VA using two applications in their daily activities, first is VISTA which stands for Veteran Health Information System and Technology Architecture. This is the system for maintaining electronic health records. Second application is CPRS which stands for Computerized Patient Record System, is a suite of clinical applications that provides an across-the board-view of each veterans health record. To access CPRS user needs VISTA applications, with these two combination doctors and nurses able to pull up patient health records. From studying the record doctors could increase the accuracy of his diagnosis for the patient. From the case, we know beside the accuracy of diagnosis, interrelationship of the systems gives the user other advantages such as enables user to real-time order checking, notification system to alert clinicians of significant events, and a clinical reminder system.The word Inter has made a world enter into a very specific and small network. Weather its Internet, Interconnection or Intercom all these things has made the task of sharing very easy. Interconnection is connections within the connections. As per the size and nature of organization interconnection is of high degree and low degree. High degree of interconnection helps to share each and everything within the network and all the components of network are highly connected with each other in terms of performance and use. For big organizations such kinds of interconnection are very important, they facilitate for the effective performance. Such kind of connections is very sensitive because if something goes wrong whole the system gets affected. Such kinds of connections not only help the organization to use and share datas but also helps the costumers in terms of service. If maintained properly such kind of system helps the parts of organizations scattered all around to come together. In case of Veterans Administration, here are some examples of benefits which patients have from Interconnection, *Interconnection benefits patients from accessing patient charts, which helps them to review their prior days medical results and odd orders if any. They could also check their order of appointment. *Patients enjoy the facility of proper and organized nursing due to systematic way of nurses handling their shifts.

*With discharge card patients could get descriptive lists of instructions and medications to take while at home after discharge, in the printed format.
