PUBLIC HEALTH AND BUSINESS IMPACT. MyMedsTracker creates both a prevention and alert system and a centralized record of all prescription, medication adherence, and adverse drug events. This is a personal application that creates a federal surveillance system of adverse drug events in seniors with CHF with crowdsourced data that is collected in the EMR. This integrates healthcare with public health and improves a serious public health problem at the local, regional, state, and federal levels.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND BUSINESS IMPACT. Transplant serves as the only curative treatment for end-stage liver disease and has been a standard surgical technique since the 1980s (Xxxxxxxx xx.xx, 2008). National registries report low mortality rates; however, there has been a shift to improve overall patient outcomes beyond patient mortality alone. The logistics surrounding the perioperative period (the events before during and after surgery) introduce complex factors that contribute to the success of the procedure. Examples of this include: infrastructural conditions in the transplant centers, experience of the surgeons involved, and anesthetic and medical management strategies (Xxxxx et. al, 2014). The combination of these variables affects postoperative outcomes to varying degrees. The structure of systems embedded in each organization and the lack of data exchange between organizations make it nearly impossible to create samples large enough to identify and act on clinical markers for improvement.

The current AFCAN systems are becoming obsolete and more modern technology can be replace to make the provider workflow more seamless, save the cost of replacing old systems and supporting them, and help patients get quicker access to specialist providers.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND BUSINESS IMPACT. A major goal of the current Executive Office Administration is to cut cost within the Public Health Sector of the Federal Government. Introducing the Genesis system as the primary tool for processing and analyzing laboratory test data will reduce agency expenses significantly by cutting personnel cost and eliminate undesired work processes. Additionally, the system will improve the quality, timeliness, and the delivery of laboratory result data. The Genesis system will also support efforts to better deliver lab reports, which will allow agency leadership to better understand where areas of improvement can be achieved in regards to policy making, training and workforce development. The system will allow the agency to retire legacy systems and establish a single authoritative source for laboratory test result analysis and data storage. Lastly, the system is designed to be interoperable with leading laboratory analysis systems as to ensure low cost of implementation.

The conduct of clinical research leads to innovative health solutions that are critical for improving health outcomes and providing scientific evidence needed to support and guide clinical and health policy decisions. Through the thousands of clinical studies that are conducted globally each year, scientists can contribute medical knowledge, develop medicines and devices, vaccinations, and lifestyle recommendations related to the treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of diseases and conditions that affect population health. Clinical research also provides imperative insight to the efficacy, safety, side effects, and long term outcomes from receiving a health treatment or intervention (Health, 2015). Researchers have identified several causes to increasing clinical research timelines that consequently delay the evaluation of new treatments and therapies, hinder the ability to accurately study long term health effects and accurately monitor disease prevalence, and postpone the creation of standards, policies, and programs aimed at managing population health and bettering outcomes. Major contributors include extensive periods of data collection, monitoring, and data cleanup which also create loss of productivity within a research organization.
