CAPSTONE BLOG

A. Blog Entry: Statement of intent

Goals:

          1. To find a more efficient way to improve patient wait time in the waiting rooms of hospitals

          2. Diverge from any of the distractions that may come with ipads

          3. Allow access to ONLY the fill-out form to patients

Importance:
          The importance of my capstone proposal is that it will begin to improve the number of patients
          that will be able to be helped in a more efficient and a less time consuming manner by
          beginning with the admittance of the patient. The majority of the public should care because
          they are the ones that will be waiting for up to 3 hours to get helped while their bills increase
          the more time they spend at hospitals.

Goals and Career Objectives:
          My goals are relevant to the importance of my project because there are factors that I will need
          to consider due to the type of patients that will be waiting in the waiting room. For example,
          not everyone owns a computer to access internet from their homes in order to submit all their
          information, so I would suggest to a hospital to install ipads. Another example, would be to
          find a way to prevent any children from using the ipads as a recreational tool.

Giving Back:
          A perfect way to describe how my project gives back to society is by giving the people the
          opportunity to go in and out of the doctor's office in order to get back to their busy lives.
          Although I may never be able to buy back their time, I can, however, save them the hours of
          waiting that seem endless and unproductive.

Richland's Triple Bottom Line:
          My capstone project applies to the Richland triple bottom line because it involves finding a problem
          within society and providing a solution. This project also includes careful planning, research, and
          executing a game plan.
