HHS497 Week 3 Discussion  

Dq1

New Emphasis. There has been a shift of emphasis of the consumers of health and human services from professionals and care providers to increasingly include the client system. The stakeholders have increased through participation coupled with the increased volume of information which allows greater exposure to care alternatives. This means the client system has greater access to health and service records. Information, instead of flowing from the top down, is increasingly multi-directional. There are many implications of this change and the parallel modes of technology. Client-to-client communication has dramatically changed. After completing reading/research, you are asked to identify one positive and one negative outcome related to the changes addressed above. Include two examples from real life in your discussion post. Post your 300 word discussion and respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings

Dq2

Information Systems. Inability to improve information systems will result in inappropriate and limited use of the critical information important to health and human services professionals.

Identify at least three of the needed improvements and discuss the needs specifically in terms of how the improvement directly impacts the HHS client base. Post your 300 word discussion and respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
