This week’s graded discussion topic relates to the following Course Learning Outcome.
CLO – 8 Informatics: Assess how emerging technology can be used to identify pathophysiological processes and improve client outcomes.
Garrin is a 7-year-old boy with cystic fibrosis. The disease is caused by a genetic defect on chromosome 7. As a result, there is a defective production of protein chloride channels in epithelial cell membranes. One effect of the disease is the production of thick mucous that accumulates in Garrins bronchial passages. As a result, he attends a physiotherapy clinic regularly for chest percussion treatments to loosen the respiratory mucous.
1. What are some financial implications related to Garrin’s diagnosis and how do these contribute to readmission, relapse, or non-compliance.
