Human Technology Interface
Mayra Oliva Rivero
It is an interaction between humans and technology. The term human-technology interface refers to every time a human uses technologies, and some interaction is enabled and supported by software and hardware. (McGonigle, 2018). Human interface technology is an emerging field that all doctors must understand to deal with the ever complexities of operative treatment. It is a study of how people experience, connect with and use their environment.
The training curve for integrating technologies in healthcare is considerable. Employing medical science without complete knowledge might lead to professional mistakes and misconduct (Guest, 2019). User unfriendly interfaces are another challenge. A study shows that nurses made errors due to the client interface’s difficulty, which needed up to 27 steps to program the device since the data requested was scattered over numerous displays. The technology designed to reduce prescription mistakes promoted 22 mistakes. (McGonigle, 2018). Asset monitoring via e-health may be a burden, with specialists creating the system to assist invoicing rather than improving patient care. Doctors usually claim that poorly constructed technologies restrict and enslave them in their profession.
Order Entry by an Automated Supplier can free doctors conducting order transcribing and medication clarification phone conversations. The result of tests could be made accessible at the delivery of access quickly after the checks are conducted, enabling treatments to begin considerably sooner. In addition, the use of cameras to monitor patients at risk of falling saves the patients’ expense of sitters. Using cameras and at doctors’ medical centers, monitors will be used to check clients’ well-being, integrating digital radiography where the radiology images can now be scanned digitally. In return, enhanced patient flow, improved dosage effectiveness, and the more excellent electronic sensors’ power spectrum reduced the patient’s exposure to the radiation.Reference

In the field of science human interface technology is a new invention that is currently making its rounds in the field of medicine. The target users of this technology in the world of health and medicine are surgeons who by all means are required to understand issues in order to counter with the ever increasing complexities and difficulties in the surgical practices (Satava & ELLIS, 2021) . This technology was brought about with the aim of improving interactive trends between technology and practitioners in order to meet user needs. Its application is not only tied to medicine but goes far wide to areas such as education and training, entertainment, rehabilitation and even business. This science enables the understanding of perceptions of humans according to how they interact, comprehend things and use the word that exist around them.
Even though the human technology interface has been seen to have very many advantages it also has its problems. One major problem is scalability in terms of information theory and communication of the system. This is because there is a limitation in the capacity of channels for communication and this is because only specific amounts of information can be transmitted from source to destination. Another current problem is high power requirements as well as cloud compatibility issues. This technology is supposed to support cloud-based systems in order to bring about reliability, accessibility, availability as well as lesser error margins but this is not the case since the integration to cloud services is a major hiccup.
The improvement of human technology interfaces cordially be done through research and cognitive learning from related fields of engineering that deal with some types of technology and human factors. This is important because through this it can be learnt on how to make the interfaces compatible both with human users and in the healthcare context (“Improving the Human Technology Interface,”2021). In addition to this simplification by making it user-friendly is another approach because it eliminates errors due to wrong methodology and even eliminates repetition of processes to achieve desired goals.

How Leveraging Health Information Technology (HIT) Can Help Meet Meaningful Use (MU) Requirements.
With the rising reception of electronic wellbeing records and the utilization of illness vaults to screen and track patient populaces, facilitators should have functioning information of health information technology and how to use them most effectively. Globally, health systems are confronted with concerns such as quickly changing segment profiles, expanding the number of people living with long haul infections, endless varieties in the quality and wellbeing of care, and rising health care consumption. Yet, despite these obstacles, there is broad consensus on the urgent need for healthcare reform.
While health IT adoption is increasing rapidly, there is a considerable risk that underprivileged people will continue to be left behind due to structural and economic hurdles to equal access to health IT, deepening the digital gap (Sheikh et al., 2015). Many attempts to reduce healthcare gaps through technology have so far concentrated on increasing internet access to technology, which is an essential initial step (Cross et al., 2022). However, the technology’s design and application are equally crucial. It is critical that existing health IT be used for and by underrepresented people and address the root causes of health disparities. Furthermore, technology must be designed, maintained, and enhanced with underserved communities in mind to leverage the technology to manage and minimize the causes of health inequalities.
Wellbeing data innovation can be utilized to address hidden reasons for wellbeing imbalance like wellbeing proficiency, access to high-quality data, and difficulties in speaking with doctors; however, data and correspondence stages should be easy to utilize and comprehend (Dixon et al., 2020). All patient-facing health IT must adhere to using and making accessible various structures and channels for every electronic correspondence. All electronic wellbeing data should be incomprehensible and usable configurations, with appropriate wellbeing education and numeracy levels, dialects other than English, and arrangements for individuals with visual, hearing, mental, and correspondence impedances as well as actual handicaps. If these norms are not expressed, the presentation of wellbeing IT would merely exacerbate the gaps that already exist between patients and communities that are diverse and underserved.

Our health-care system is assisting in the cure of diseases, the extension of lives, and the improvement of community well-being. Health care will now benefit from improvements in secure health information technology that ensure health information is protected and available when and where it is required, contributing to safer, higher-quality, more efficient treatment. Everyone benefits from more coordinated, efficient, and cost-effective treatment. Health information technology (HIT) is the application of information processing involving both computer hardware and software that deals with the storing, retrieval, sharing, and use of health care information, data, and knowledge for communication and decision making (Lee and Lee, 2018).
The Meaningful Use incentive program aims to improve the quality, efficiency, and coordination of patient care by utilizing secure and efficient certified EHR systems (Stimson and Botruff, 2017). The Meaningful Use incentive program prioritizes patient privacy and provider efficiency. Because poorly built, insecure, and inappropriately used EHRs and e-Prescribing systems pose severe data-breach, medication error, and fraud threats, these factors are critical. These dangers pose a major threat to patients’ personal information (PII) (Stimson and Botruff, 2017). When used safely and effectively, however, EHR and e-Prescribing technologies can help providers with workflow issues, protect PHI, and enhance patient outcomes.
Benefits of using EHRs include, reduced paperwork for patients and doctors, increased access to affordable care, improved patient quality of care, prevention of medical errors, lower health care costs, increased administrative efficiencies, and patient/family engagement in their own health care. From simple charting to more advanced decision assistance and interaction with medical technology, health information technology encompasses a wide range of technologies. Reducing human errors, enhancing clinical outcomes, increasing care coordination, boosting practice efficiencies, and collecting data over time are just some of the ways that health information technology can help improve and revolutionize healthcare. An electronic health record (EHR) converts a paper medical record into an electronic format to allow for faster communication, recall, and clinical decision-making (Rittenhouse et al., 2020). Clinical decision support is intended to use electronic and non-electronic tools to effectively use best practices and evidence-based guidelines to help guide care in a timelier manner. Health information technology (HIT) has led to the Use of Electronic Health Records(EHRs) which improves patient care, decrease practice costs, and increase provider productivity and revenue thus meeting the requirement for “meaningful use”. We find that health information technology enhances patient safety by reducing medication errors, adverse drug responses, and adherence to practice recommendations (Rittenhouse et al., 2020). Health information technology is a valuable tool for increasing the quality and safety of healthcare. Healthcare organizations must be cautious about which technologies they invest in, to enhance patient safety results.

Literature Review
The purpose of the review is to discover diabetic self-management training characteristics that will enhance patient education for Black African Caribbean and Hispanic/Latin American patients with Type 2 diabetes. Five treatment elements demonstrated good unit value across at least three variables from the proposed 13 studies in the analysis: community involvement in hospital-based therapies, the use of contextual problem-solving, numerous meetings, and involving nutritionists as neoconservatives. Six characteristics exhibited positive significant rate differences. Varying diabetic self-management characteristics for African/Caribbean and Hispanic/Latin ethnicity may impact overall and particular self-management results (Gucciardi,2013).
Using a literature review, the compliance and desire displayed by diabetic patients who engage in preventive healthcare interventions are shown to encourage the adoption of a healthier life. The consumption of an increased intake and a level of physical activity increase, with a concentration on disease impression and patient with diabetes understanding, highlighting the suggestions that should be accompanied to obtain a better living standard, illustrating that it is fine to live well and with the right healthy lifestyle throughout if you have a persistent disease for example Diabetes. Systematic research was conducted using the national public health systems that contained records for the patients. Thirty-seven papers on the interaction of health and illness vs. Diabetes were chosen. The person with Diabetes and his family encountered various problems managing the ailment daily. The challenges may directly impact the patient’s adherence to the recommended medication. This implies that when healthcare initiatives are organized, each individual’s emotional and behavioral variables must be taken into account to provide entire help to the community. (Costa,2011)
I cannot entirely agree with the study design that involved the major public health databases. This only took the data from small populations of the primary health care centers and the public ones alone, forgetting that the private sector provides services and care to the patients affected by diabetes mellitus. The design of the study was marginalized, which is not good.

Topic 1
Specific: Will patients with atherosclerosis show understanding of self-management dietary
Measurement: after comprehensive education by nurses
Attainable/Achievement: attain long term reduction of serum cholesterol levels
Relevant: serum cholesterol levels below 200 mg/dL
Time: Within a year of starting after being diagnosed
SMART Goal: will patients with atherosclerosis show an understanding of self-management dietary measures after comprehensive education by dieticians to attain a long-term reduction of serum cholesterol levels below 200 mg/dL within a year after being diagnosed?
Topic 2
1. Share a concise overview of the local impact of the problem.
Optimism as a way of treating atherosclerosis requires a different overview of the disease. Instead of advocating for just a change in the mindset, exploring ways of improving patient care needs a varied way of handling changes in the treatment process (Park et al., 2021). Atherosclerosis requires rigorous measures to enhance the patient’s well-being (Schwarz et al., 2013).
1. Share one disagreement you may have regarding the study design and support your idea with evidence
The study design chosen is retrospective data harmonization as the authors seek to utilize longitudinal data. However, the limitation of this design is the inability to bridge cultural challenges across different settings (Geneviève et al., 2019). The motivation people use in one area may not have the same impact when seeking to promote the successful management of health data.
1. Share one disagreement you may have regarding implementation and support your idea with evidence.
It will take longer training people to be better by exploring some of the benefits of dealing with chronic stresses in life. Teaching people how to make better decisions is only one of the many steps. However, Walker et al. (2019) believe in a rigorous process that involves physical activity and a reduction of sedentary lifestyles to meet specific needs for the patient’s health. Physical activity should follow the change in one’s approach to the treatment process.
1. Share one disagreement you may have regarding evaluation and support your idea with evidence.
The dichotomization of data into good or not good may negate the impact of the research process in this instance. Harmonization affects the reliability of the data, and that could fault in the evaluation protocols involved in shaping the reaction held regarding the various issues across the community (Geneviève et al., 2019). Understanding the confounding factors improves reliability, but the biases noted could challenge the impact this has on the collected data.
