The first question in this discussion is opinion and experience-based, so you can begin immediately. Please watch the 6 minute video, Josie King: Fixing Healthcare Delivery
(Links to an external site.)
, and discuss the first question:

1. Based on viewing this video and what you have learned so far in this course, what are your initial thoughts as to the events that led to Josie Kings death?
For each of the subsequent questions please meaningfully integrate your readings including the text, articles, videos, and module notes in your conversation with each other.

2. Technology was much different at the time of Josies hospitalization and death. Many different systems in the hospital supported the care of Josie and her family. Knowing the technologies available today, what type(s) of technology might have helped to eliminate or minimize the potential for the error(s) that occurred in this situation? Please provide specific examples from your course materials. 

3. What are some of the human factors relevant in this situation? (Hint: Be sure to review the section on evaluating new technology.)

4. Josies mother has dedicated her life to sharing her daughters story to prevent this from ever happening again. Given what we have learned this week and over the entire term, what lessons can we learn? What informatics related workarounds can be used to prevent this situation from ever occurring again? These may be workarounds already in existence, or you may want to brainstorm new ideas based on what you have learned.
