-However, the federal government's initial guidelines left many physicians and institutions feeling trapped.
- Nevertheless, meaningful use can be helpful and continue in the future if the guidelines for the federal government continue to be reviewed

According to the writer, this is possible when and only if when more providers adopt data exchange tools. It is believed that HIE through programs such as HEALTHeLINK can improves quality of care, enhance patient safety, but most importantly reduce healthcare cost. Further, in New York they found that more than 96% of patients consented to have their information shared with other providers via HEALTHeLINK. 

As a future provider, I believe that having access to a database that will allow me to exchange patient health information can allow me to give the best treatment options. It will also help me further reduce medical errors that can very easily happen when patients are transitioning from provider to provider or have a complex medical history where multiple providers are involved.]]> 2021-10-28 20:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/avaloc1/5k5ly6dqbms17zb3/wish/1852334163 avaloc1 https://padlet.com/avaloc1/5k5ly6dqbms17zb3/wish/1854895612 -This Harvard article discusses the cons and pros of Telehealth

Pros:
 -It allows health care providers to diagnose, treat, and     oversee their patients care
   -Cost savings, convenience, care to patients with mobility challenges/limitations

CONS:
-Not all visits can be done remotely
-Secure transmission of health data electronically is still a concern

In particularly the importance of story telling. The speaker focused on four key things when it comes to story telling including:
-Connecting with people 
-conveying one idea 
-keeping it simple 
-exploring the things you know best
- I believe that in a world where technology has allowed to connect with people around the world, it seems as though we are less connected with each other. Thus, I believe connecting with people is very important. Conveying an idea and keeping it simple also major. Things that are to complex to explain can cause the speaker to get off topic and or lose the audience. Rather it would make sense why sticking to one topic and keeping it simple will very likely continue to keep the audience engaged. Finally, exploring this you best know will help you build credibility among your audience.]]> 2021-12-02 17:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/avaloc1/5k5ly6dqbms17zb3/wish/1925686144 avaloc1 https://padlet.com/avaloc1/5k5ly6dqbms17zb3/wish/1951012860 -Data visualization can be vey helpful to help improve patient engagement
-For example, when providing teaching with a family in regards to a newly diagnoses of sickle cell disease, I have found that families do better when there is visuals involved
-Especially pictures of what red blood cells look like in the body and how they are able to transport oxygen throughout the body
-Parents get to see the difference between a normal hemoglobin vs a sickled one
- The visual allows them to understand the importance of hydration as well as medication adherence
-Other helpful data visuals include welcome videos each caregiver has to watch before being able to use the TV
