medicine practice

Write a three (3) page paper on the application and challenges involved with implementing an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for a private family medicine practice. This is a small family practice with 3 doctors and a HIT budget of $60,000 annually and $150,000 for upfront expenditures. The report must answer the following questions.

-What are the most important functionalities of the EHR that needs to be implemented at the practice?

-Is it possible for any existing Practice Management Systems to be integrated with the EHR?

-Identify any two critical challenges in implementing the EHR.Identify any four critical advantages the EHR would provide to the practice.

-How you would manage the project planning and implementation of this EHR?

-Explain the technology security considerations and how HIPAA governs their implementation.

-Make a recommendation on the type of EHR system this practice should adopt and support your decision using data.

The following good practices can help in securing a higher grade for this assignment:
– Using references/citations appropriate to the content of the answer
-Providing examples that will support your answers or claims

Population Genetics and Human Evolution

Complete the following discussions:

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that allele frequencies remain constant across generations unless certain influences are introduced, such as nonrandom matings or mutations.

Describe the Hardy-Weinberg principle.
Are there influences that deviate from the principle? If so, what are they? If no, why?
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) profiling is a tool used in forensic investigation and paternity testing. This technique is often used by forensic scientists to identify individuals on the basis of their DNA profiles.

How is DNA profiling performed?
What are some of the novel uses of DNA profiling, other than those described in your textbook?
Sickle-cell disease is an example of balanced polymorphism as carriers of this disease are protected against malaria.

Describe an example of balanced polymorphism, other than sickle-cell disease, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, phenylketonuria (PKU), prior protein mutation, cystic fibrosis (CF), and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS).
Genetic ancestry testing is becoming popular as more and more people are trying to trace their ancestry. Two different types of tests are generally offered, mitochondrial DNA, which traces maternal lineages, and Y chromosome testing, which traces paternal lineages.

Does genetic ancestry testing provide a complete picture of a person’s heritage? If so, how? If not, why not?
