- It is not all of the above (I already tried that).arrow_forwardYou are the only person in the office preparing for the day. While you are completing opening procedures the back nurses station phone rings. This line is used for intraoffice calls and for staff members calling out. Instead you have a patient's wife on the phone. Mrs. Smith says that her husband was stung by an insect, maybe a yellow jacket, about an hour ago while mowing the lawn. His entire arm is red and swollen and seems to be moving towards his back. His eyes are also red and swollen. He complains of itching all over and seems "out of it." He took a cold shower to see if that would help but now feels dizzy and faint. His breathing seems "noisy." What do you do?arrow_forwardYou were just hired as the office manager of a 6 physician office. As part of my responsibilities, one of the physicians asked you to investigate the possibility of an electronic health record (EHR) system. He is interested in this but the other physicians are reluctant to change to the system. They had heard that the federal government was going to mandate this and wanted to be proactive. The physician asked you to prepare an explanation to all of the physicians regarding the issues of implementing an EHR system. Research a website that provides support for your position on electronic health records and provide a summary of the website and the URL. Write a brief summary of the issues surrounding the use of electronic health records.arrow_forward
