Technology, Care Coordination, and Community Resources

Heart Attack is a chronic health condition. Heart Attack patients like my mother have other health problems like stress and lack of physical activity, which are causes of heart attacks. This study investigates how to deal with chronic Heart Attack problems through the healthcare system, care coordination, and community programs. This paper will explore community resources, technologies, and care coordination.

Impact of Healthcare Technology 

I spent nearly two hours discussing several pieces of information concerning my mother’s heart attack situation with my mother, the medical team, and the nursing staff. This session was beneficial in developing ideal strategies for handling this healthcare issue involving heart attack patients. Professionals pointed out the seriousness of heart attacks in terms of patient health. Various healthcare technologies have been developed in recent years to assist medical personnel in diagnosing, managing, and monitoring the circumstances of heart attack patients. To control heart attacks, both doctors and patients use a variety of measures. Patients who have had a heart attack use technology and software to efficiently manage their heart health, minimize the impact of their condition, manage heart-related problems, and improve their overall quality of life (Nadeem et al., 2021). 

Telemedicine provides critical benefits for heart disease patients in follow-up care. It acts as a vital link between necessary post-heart attack care and recovery.  It provides rapid consultations and remote monitoring, decreasing patients’ need to travel long distances, mainly in rural or underserved areas. Nurses can identify any concerning changes in a patient’s condition via remote monitoring, allowing for fast response and comfort. This convenience saves patients time and money by improving outcomes and nurse-patient communication. That provides them comfort and stability during a vital stage of their recovery (Omboni et al.,2022).

Electronic health record systems are essential in improving patient care for people with heart disease by promoting efficient communication and coordination among healthcare professionals, including nurses. EHRs give nurses fast access to thorough patient information such as medical history, medications, test results, and treatment plans. The plenty of information allows nurses to provide more accurate and individualized care and ensure that patients receive the appropriate interventions at the appropriate time. EHRs allow nurses to collaborate in real time with other professionals like cardiologists and surgeons and support a multidisciplinary approach to heart attack care. 

This technology increases the quality and safety of care, resulting in better outcomes for patients with heart disease (Ali et al., 2020). Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are necessary for managing and treating heart rhythm problems. These devices track the patient’s heart rate and rhythm and, when needed, accurate electrical impulses. This technology has various advantages for nurses. It delivers real-time data, and allows them to closely monitor the device’s operation and the patient’s cardiac condition. In routine check-ups, nurses change settings and examine the device’s effectiveness to ensure it matches the patient’s requirements. These devices provide life-saving interventions in an emergency, making them essential to patient care for people with heart rhythm problems (Holtzman et al., 2020).

Advantages of Healthcare Technology

There are the following advantages related to healthcare technology:

• Digital technology, like wearable gadgets, enables early heart attack risk factors detection. These devices can monitor heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs, alerting users or healthcare practitioners to possible problems (Manimurugan et al.,2022).
• Telemedicine is developing into an essential tool in managing cardiovascular disease. Patients consult with cardiologists remotely, reducing the need for in-person appointments while ensuring quick intervention when necessary (Nittari et al., 2020).
• EHRs enable the easy sharing of patient information among healthcare professionals, enhancing care availability for heart attack patients (Ali et al., 2020).

Disadvantages of Healthcare Technology

There are following disadvantages of health care technology

• Collecting personal health data using digital tec
