How would you define a company as American? Is there such a thing as a purely American company?
Consider two hypothetical companies:
1- ABC Computers based in San Francisco, California. The shareholders, managers, and directors are
Americans. However, most of the employees of the
company are South Korean where the computers are manufactured and then exported to the USA.
2- XYZ Computers is based in Germany. Their shareholders, managers, and directors are German.
However, most of the employees of the company are
Californians where the (high tech) computers are designed and manufactured. Many of these are
exported to Germany.
Many people would say the ABC is an American company while XYZ is not. Robert Reich argues
otherwise. He looks at the impact that the company has on the
US economy (employment, for example) as the best guide. XYZ has much more impact here than
ABC.
Is IBM an American company? More than 40% of its employees are foreign. IBMs Japanese subsidiary
employs more than 18,000 Japanese workers and is one
of Japans leading exports of computers. Whirlpool employs more than 43,000 people around the world
in 45 countries. Is this an American company? What about
Chiquita Banana whose operations are in Central America and much of its exports do not go to the
USA? Is this an American company? What about Boeing,
General Motors, Mc Donalds?
How would you define a company as American? Is there such a thing as a purely American company?
What does purely American mean to you? Is this a result
of globalization where more and more of the worlds economies are integrated?

What health care technology is involved in the situation?What moral guidelines for using that kind of healthcare technology should be used there?
nstructions
Develop, in detail, a situation in which a health care worker might be confronted with ethical problems
related to patients and prescription drug use OR patients in a state of poverty.
Your scenario must be original to you and this assignment. It cannot be from the discussion boards
in this class or any other previous forum.
Articulate (and then assess) the ethical solutions that can found using care (care-based ethics) and
rights ethics to those problems.
Assessment must ask if the solutions are flawed, practicable, persuasive, etc.
What health care technology is involved in the situation?What moral guidelines for using that kind of
healthcare technology should be used there? Explore such guidelines also using utilitarianism,
Kantian deontology, ethical egoism, or social contract ethics.
Say how social technologies such as blogs, crowdfunding, online encyclopedias can be used in
either case. What moral guidelines for using that kind of healthcare technology should be used
there? Develop such guidelines also using utilitarianism, Kantian deontology, ethical egoism, or

Critically explain The impact of health care informatics on patient outcomes and role of internet in health care informatics The role of the Internet in health care informatics
Review the following scenario:
In this assignment you will focus on telehealth. You are the nurse manager for the stroke unit at
Gladwin Community Hospital. Your hospital has recently become Joint Commission certified for stroke
care and is in full compliance with the Get with The Guidelines for stroke care (). As a result of your
excellent work in this area and the need for more advanced stroke care to the community, you have
been given the task of setting up a telehealth program for stroke care.
This program will provide support and follow-up care for stroke patients who are not able to travel to the
stroke clinic. The program will also provide nursing assistance to local emergency rooms for triage
purposes. Additionally, emergency physicians will be able to consult with neurologists and transmit CT
scans and video of neurologic examinations.
In order to receive funding for the program, it is beneficial for those in the top level leadership to
endorse the project. As the nurse manager, you will prepare and present informational materials to
those in leadership positions at Gladwin Community Hospital. You will explain the importance of
telehealth and the benefits it will provide for the patients.
Step 2:Create a 16 to- 20 slide presentation.
Prepare a slide presentation to share with leadership to get their initial support. This should cover the
following elements:
The impact of health care informatics on patient outcomes
The role of the Internet in health care informatics
An overview of telehealth
Benefits of telehealth
How telehealth can be used for stroke patients
How the security of patient information can be enhanced
Potential technology needs and the staff training and support that will be needed.
Make sure that you properly cite any resources used and include a reference slide.
The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
For this Discussion, you examine a case study and explain the disease that is suggested. You examine the symptoms reported and explain the cells that are involved and potential alterations and impacts.
Scenario: A 16-year-old boy comes to clinic with chief complaint of sore throat for 3 days. Denies fever or chills. PMH negative for recurrent colds, influenza, ear infections or pneumonias. NKDA or food allergies. Physical exam reveals temp of 99.6 F, pulse 78 and regular with respirations of 18. HEENT normal with exception of reddened posterior pharynx with white exudate on tonsils that are enlarged to 3+. Positive anterior and posterior cervical adenopathy. Rapid strep test performed in office was positive. His HCP wrote a prescription for amoxicillin 500 mg po q 12 hours x 10 days disp #20. He took the first capsule when he got home and immediately complained of swelling of his tongue and lips, difficulty breathing with audible wheezing. 911 was called and he was taken to the hospital, where he received emergency treatment for his allergic reaction.
Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation:
The role genetics plays in the disease.
Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.
The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
The cells that are involved in this process.
How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.

What big ideas or big technological changes do you see in the years ahead? Is change something we manage well? What happens when we resist change?
Sociologists tell us that social change is created by
a) new technologies and or
b) new or shifting ideas or beliefs. Maybe its both, but we have to understand it is generally one or the other that leads the way. For example from the 1940s until the 1990s China did not accept the idea that Capitalism was or could be a useful way to organize their economy. In the 1990s, China got rid of its Soviet-style, state run, planned economy. In less than 3 decades, the nation was transformed from a impoverished third-world nation to the number 2 economy in the world. It was an idea that made this happen, not a particular technology.
