Dependent Process

Question 1

Developing nations have developed technology rapidly in recent years. These nations are integrating various forms of technology, such as computers, radios, cellular phones, televisions, newspapers, and the internet into their daily lives. This research argues that technological growth in developing nations results from a mutually dependent process: technology use spurs understanding, which in turn spurs greater use. Using a multi-method approach of observation, trend analysis and case studies, this research breaks its argument into three main parts:

1) understanding the technological challenges in developing countries;

2) implications on how technology affects education, infrastructure, healthcare, and social and economic development; and

3) status of technological advancement and the accelerating growth and developmental rates of the developing countries. The evidence presented in this research also supports the contention that developing countries’ lack of access to technology and other infrastructure has contributed.

Question 2

What is a workaround? Identify a workaround (specific to technology used in a hospital setting) that you have used or perhaps seen someone else use, and analyze why you feel this risk-taking behavior was chosen over behavior that conforms to a safety culture. What are the risks? Are there benefits? Why or why not?Discuss the current patient safety characteristics used by your current workplace or clinical site. Identify at least three aspects of your workplace or clinical environment that need to be changed with regard to patient safety (including confidentiality), and then suggest strategies for change
