Search the internet for different patient-centered health information technologies (i.e patient portals, telehealth, mHealth).  Compare and contrast two different patient-centered health information technologies.  

What are their benefits, drawbacks, can they improve quality healthcare, do they engage patients more in their healthcare? 

 Make sure to address your thoughts on whether consumers will engage using these tools (technologies) and how can we better educate patients about these tools, along with your findings and conclusions.

There will be times when a social worker is presented with a case where they are not familiar with the surrounding psychosocial issues. Because social workers are on a continual journey in learning, it is important to read pertinent literature. This Discussion provides an opportunity to visit Walden Library and strengthen your skills in identifying and locating an empirical research article.

To prepare:

• Select one of these three groups: (1) an immigrant individual from a racial or ethnic minority group, (2) a gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) individual, OR (3) an individual who is physically disabled.
• Review the Walden Library resources listed in the Learning Resources.
• Then conduct a library search for an empirical study focused on one of the groups above and the unique psychosocial factors or issues a social worker should be aware of when working with that group.

Post:

• Post the APA-style reference for the article you found in the library.
• Describe four specific psychosocial factors that should be taken into account in order to understand the psychosocial context when working with the group you selected. (Two of these factors should be psychologically related and two of these factors should be socially related).
• Identify and explain a psychosocial intervention that addresses one of the four specific psychosocial factors you described above.
• Identify 1 to 2 outcomes you might measure if you were to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
• Evaluate one advantage of using a psychosocial framework in social work practice with the group you chose.

Discussion 1: What if you could save five lives in a way that results in the death of a single person? If the overall consequences were the same, would it matter if you were intentionally harming that person or not? This problem is raised by the philosopher Philippa Foot (2002c) in her famous “trolley problem.”

Discussion 2:  One way to conceptualize utilitarianism is to hold that the morally required thing to do is to increase the intrinsic good in the world. Trigg is doing just that. But is he going far enough? 

If one is morally obligated to maximize the good in the world when should he stop? Should Trigg and the rest of us give all of our income to save the poor – right up to the point of being poor ourselves? 

Employee’s attitudes, experiences, feelings, and opinions about the workplace influence how they perform. All leaders in the organization need insight into how engagement influences individual performance. Leaders, supervisors, and HR staff need all of this information to alter and improve current programs and to address individual issues like Karla’s failure to recognize her staff. With 15 employees it’s unlikely that not one employee in her office is worthy of recognition at the end of the year.

How can we work with Karla to support her as she evaluates her staff for performance or recognition?
