TASK OVERVIEW: stories from 10 Students will pick 10 economics-inspired different chapters from Charles Whelan's Naked Economics and write a reflection paper on how the stories in these ten chapters resonate with their personal experiences. Students will write a paragraph for each of the ten concepts. The focus is your economic story/reflection and the economic concept/principal supporting the reflection. How a particular story in Naked Economics resonates with your own story? You will upload your reflection paper here and post it on an accompanying discussion board. In the discussion board, you will comment on one of your peer's discussions to receive full discussion points. To submit this assignment, students are required to use Turnitin. Students are expected to explain these ten concepts as if they are explaining them to their grandmothers. Therefore it would be helpful to provide examples to make it easy to understand. If the assignment Turnitin score goes over 20 %, the particular student will earn zero for this assignment. Also, a student will lose 10 points for every 5% increase in Turnitin score. The goal of this assignment is to make sure that students explain these concepts in their own words. Therefore, students are expected to stay within a 1-5% Turnitin score. You do NOT need to CITE the book or any other source. Since this assignment does not require any other external citations. TO DO: At least 4 pages as long as 10 economics stories from 10 different chapters are written for a paragraph of the 10 concepts. Double spaced, APA

TASK 4: write a reply Technology is continuously advancing, with numerous technological developments; from imaging scanners to intelligent decision aids which improve diagnoses. Technology automates tasks within the patient quality of care which previously had to be carried out by people. Rather than having nurses take time to give injections, infusion pumps can be used as an alternative which allows nurses to have more time to spend on other activities involving patient safety and care. Furthermore, technology allows for the collection of patient data and the quality of patient care. This information gathered can help to discover a variation in treatment and its outcomes, which helps to improve the quality of healthcare provided to patients (Thimbleby, 2013). Compliance with policies and guidelines (e.g., Health Information Technology for Economics and Clinical Health) ensures the privacy of patient information, where systems must be vigilant in how information is secured. Nonetheless, authentication procedures can be time-consuming, reducing the efficiency of healthcare performance. The HIMSS (2015) survey stated negligent insider as the most common security breach (for example walking away without logging off). An example of an unintentional data breach was reported by a healthcare company returning equipment without erasing healthcare data stored. As a result, there was a settlement of more than $1.2 million (Department of Health and Human Services, 2021: 161). Security network information is another risk by having computers linked together within healthcare organisations, resulting in possible exposure of patient information to unauthorised users (e.g., insiders, hackers, or viruses) (Mastrian & McGonigle, 2021:158). Though technological innovation will continue to transform healthcare, network accessibility and human factors will continue to remain limitations, posing security risks (Mastrian & McGonigle, 2021:168).

TASK 5: reply to the posting I would draw the reality of technology use in health care field has advanced so much that a consultant in any part of the world can even participate in doing surgery and diagnosis in any part of other country. Technology made the world a global village. The development of new apps and specially to remember the Covid-19 era where there was no choice except to depend on technological advancement. Your concern of security and data breach is quite clear which could have been in place earlier too. However, the mass exodus of data is possible, however data protection software’s have proven to be applied efficiently to stop such acts by unauthorized users. Every institution specially the banks and others are using technology successfully without such glitches. Image without the technological advancement like ECG, MRI etc., it was time consuming and left to the consultants to decide the patient’s line of treatment. Technology helped them to diagnose patients at very fast pace thereby saving lives of many patients. With early signs of any disease, the use of devices can further report what is coming up and early diagnosis is possible thereby saving patient from falling prey to that disease. Application of technological use in healthcare bought much relief to patients, the consultants and overall, to health industry. Can peers highlight the negatives of using technology in healthcare?
