Perspectives on the Computerized Health Management

Question: Describe about the Perspectives on the Computerized Health Management? Answer: Survey design for data collection in context to the functionality of computerized tomographic imaging system The intent of the prospective survey revolves around effectively retrieving information from the potential users regarding the functionality expected in the computerized tomographic imaging system. The preliminary steps warranted in the survey regarding collecting information about the expected functionality in the CT imaging system include the blend of the following approaches: The extensive research of clinical literature executed with the intent of exploring functional perspectives of the computerized tomographic modalities. This step ensures researching the study questions through the evidence based literature to retrieve conclusions in the form of concrete abstracts indicating the preliminary expectations of the users in establishing functionally improved imaging system for executing computerized tomographic techniques following the clinical recommendation. Indeed, the face-to-face interactive sessions with the potential employees required for analyzing their expectations regarding the imaging system in terms of functionality. These interactive sessions require discussing study questions among the hospital users for extracting conclusions from their verbal inputs in terms of their requirement regarding the functionality of the computerized tomographic imaging system within the clinical setting. Developing focus groups within the hospital confinements and executing interactive sessions among the members of the group to explore the functional aspects of the computerized tomographic imaging system. In fact, the study questions require discussion among the study groups to retrieve conclusions regarding the expected functionalities of the CT imaging system. The execution of personal interviews with the selected employees also assists in exploring the answers to the study questions. This step involves recording the answers to the study questions by obtaining verbal inputs from the study participants. Similarly, posting the study questions through telephone, emails and internet surveys assists in disseminating the research questions among the potential users and retrieving their responses within the limited timeframe and resources. The above survey design follows the multilevel approaches executed to systematize the survey for retrieving the facts and addressing issues in context to the computerized tomographic modality (Boulay Mizoguchi, 1997, p. 408). Interview questions regarding the expected functionality in computerized tomographic imaging system The prospective functionality expected in the computerized tomographic imaging system by the users explored through the following questionnaire requiring responses from employees following the above mentioned survey design. 1. What do you expect in terms of the intensity of radiation of computerized tomographic modalities, compliance parameters and regulatory standards? 2. What should be the expected Hounsfield unit: Electron density ratio for the proposed computerized tomographic modality? 3. What slice thickness of the scanner do you consider as mandatory criterion for processing of multiple images from the CT equipment on a daily basis? 4. How much should be the capacity of a single computerized tomographic modality in terms of acquisition of images per day? 5. What do you think is the rapid scan time of the CT equipments to reduce motion artifacts, thereby influencing the accuracy of the results? 6. What is the expected strength and density of the beam collimator of the CT apparatus for acquisition of sharp images? 7. What configuration of the computerized tomographic simulation table warranted for bypassing errors in image processing? 8. Is virtual simulation software necessarily required with the computerized tomographic apparatus? What configuration of the CT scanner and associated computer system is essentially required for obtaining uninterrupted image reconstruction, as per your understanding? 9. Will you prefer spiral scanners to axial equipments with the intent of enhancing image quality? What is your perspective on advantages of multi-slice and large bore scanners over conventional CT modalities? 10. Do you think the application of picture archiving and communication system (PACS) necessarily required with CT equipments to enhance the speed of image retrieval and analysis? Employees requiring interview sessions The academic literature reveals the requirement of conducting interview sessions from the members pertaining to multiple domains within the organization in context to the nature of research questions (Rosenblatt, 2014, p. 149). Indeed, the entire fraternity directly or indirectly associated with the execution of computerized tomographic modality and analysis of the results requires attending interview sessions for acquiring precise answers to the study questions. The category of such employees includes the following types: Orthopedicians Interns Non physician professionals including nurses and physiotherapists Emergency medical team Paediatricians ENT specialists Employees requiring questionnaire administration The academic literature further advocates the administration of questionnaires to the hospital employees in accordance with the inclusion parameters of the research question (Baniode Hamdan, 2014, p.29). Indeed, the following employees in the present research study warranted to respond in terms of questionnaires following their high technical expertise in executing and analysing radiological interventions within the hospitals confinements.
