Discuss how social media can impact the present and future outlook on health care analytics.

Healthcare Analytics; Regulations, Clinical Quality, and Patient Safety

As many healthcare facilities seek to implement analytical patient quality and clinical value in collaboration with electronic health record management. Automated algorithms are capable of sifting through thousands of patient records to identify potential clinical errors and systematically measure patient safety in ways never before anticipated (Davenport, 2014). Discuss how social media can impact the present and future outlook on health care analytics.

Describe prevalent health care disparities of the low socioeconomic status population (Prefered in Massachusetts but not limited to)

Describe prevalent health care disparities of the low socioeconomic status population (Prefered in Massachusetts but not limited to)
Talk about strategies for reducing/eliminating such disparities.
Discuss coping mechanisms, social supports prevalent in the community.

Discuss COVID-19 within the context of a chronic disease AND the Chronic Disease Model (CCM).

On 31, December 2019, The World Health Organization was informed of cases of
pneumonia of unknown etiology (unknown cause) detected in Wuhan City, Hubei
Province in China. Later identified as the causative virus COVID-19. One month
later, Ontario confirmed its first presumptive case. Our world changed.
Discuss COVID-19 within the context of a chronic disease AND the Chronic Disease
Model (CCM). Speak to the implications from an economic, system, leadership, and
health care professionals’ perspectives. Examine relevant themes, such as covid as
it relates to stigma, the patient experience, self-management approaches, and future
recommendation or planning etc.
Hint:
A lot continues to happen since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic—however, focus
your response in the context of a chronic diseases and the CCM. Discuss the burden to
the health care system—i.e., if you replace diabetes for example with covid-19, what
similarities do you see? Use your Blackboard post discussions to guide your response.
Finally, I recognize this is similar to your last assignment and posts—but that was the
point. Now your task is to put covid in the context of a chronic disease, then apply the
relevant themes we discussed. This demonstrates your understanding of CD, and to see
if you can identify how the current narrative support and fit what we covered

Medical associates have routinely opposed this insisting that the discussion of potential medications directly to the patient absent filtering by the physician leads to patients demanding medication that are not appropriate in their case. Which should be the case and why?

Pharmaceutical companies have vociferously fought for the right to advertise and market their products (medications and procedures) directly to the public via mass media to make know the availability to as many persons as possible. This is done primarily under the constitutional right of free speech and freedom of the press. Medical associates have routinely opposed this insisting that the discussion of potential medications directly to the patient absent filtering by the physician leads to patients demanding medication that are not appropriate in their case. Which should be the case and why? Should medication ads be allowed to be mass marketed?

Professional Context

Nurses are leaders in problem identification and solution, planning and implementing patient care strategies to address problems in the home, hospital, and community. This assessment will help you develop a problem statement for a patient, family, or population health concern.

Develop health education activities that utilize evidence-based practices for promoting patient safety and quality of care

Final Project Part II will involve the construction of a proposal for a health promotion teaching tool that will be of value for the patient. This activity will allow you the opportunity to discuss health literacy best practices and how you would use them to educate, inform, and empower your patient with regard to their health risks and/or healthy behaviors. For this final project, you will propose a health promotion teaching tool based on your assessment findings.

This assessment will address your mastery with regard to the following course outcomes:

  • Interpret health assessment findings based on norms for healthy adults to inform patient health education strategies
  • Employ health literacy best practices for informing health promotion resources for diverse populations
  • Develop health education activities that utilize evidence-based practices for promoting patient safety and quality of care
  • Prompt
    For this final project, you will analyze your findings from the comprehensive head-to-toe patient assessment you completed with your patient volunteer in Module Six. You will also propose a health promotion teaching tool based on a health risk or healthy behavior of your choice that you identified during the comprehensive assessment. Note: You do not need to create the actual teaching tool, but rather write a proposal in which you will describe the tool and discuss your rationale behind the choices you make for its development based on your patient assessment.

Please answer following prompts below.

  1. Analyze health risks uncovered during your assessment. In other words, what unhealthy behaviors the patient engages in or indicators of disease or illness did you discover? If you feel there were none, be sure to explain your rationale.
  2. Analyze healthy behaviors the patient engages in that you discovered during your assessment. In other words, what opportunities exist for health promotion? If you feel there were none, be sure to explain your rationale.
  3. Specify the critical information about your topic based on your assessment findings that you would include in your teaching tool.
  4. Recommend specific intervention(s) for your topic that will result in improved patient outcomes or will promote health maintenance. Be sure to support your recommendations with evidence-based research.
  5. Determine the medium (presentation, brochure, poster, or other format) that would be most appropriate for communicating information about your chosen topic. Be sure to explain your rationale.
  6. Discuss the health literacy best practices you would employ to ensure your teaching tool is appropriate for diverse populations. Be sure to support your claims with specific examples from evidence-based research.
  7. Describe your plan to ensure compliance of your teaching tool with Flesch-Kincaid readability guidelines. Be sure to explain your rationale.

In your own words, describe how you would design a research course for a graduate level counseling program.

In your own words, describe how you would design a research course for a graduate level counseling program. What assignments would you include? What CACREP standards do you think would be the most essential to address during this course?

Teaching Research and Statistics: Initial Class

What strategies might you use to “hook” counseling students into a research course? What has worked for you in the past? Discuss at least two ideas.

Teaching Research and Statistics: Research Designs

Using the coffee study as an example, describe a “study” you could use to introduce the different types of research designs to graduate counseling students. Describe how this “study” could be explained as a quantitative study and then as a qualitative study.

Teaching Research and Statistics: Statistics

What popular culture theme might you choose to teach statistics? This could be a book, movie, television show, music genre, art, fashion, dance, drama, or game. Discuss one idea of how this popular culture theme might be applied to a statistics lesson (pick one statistics concept, such as hypothesis testing or sampling, and then explore your idea).

This discussion will be a follow-up to the video I posted in the Lecture area.  I’d like you to think about the roles played by grades in our educational system.  Based on the video discussion as well as your own thinking, talk about what you see as the main purpose and the main roles of grades, and grading, in college education.  Consider these questions in your discussion post:

In the age of COVID-19, we as educators are faced with a number of dilemmas with regard to grading.  One is pass/fail vs. standard letter grades. Another is making allowances for hardship, such as being subjected to broad changes in housing and education, by doing away with grades (or giving everyone an A).

Please watch this video, and pay special attention to the ethical and professional issues that are raised. We will talk more about those later. Don’t focus on “the right thing to do so” so much as on how these issues relate to our ideas about teaching and about evaluating students.

• What ethical and professional issues are arising in the discussion of grading in the era of COVID-19?• Based on the video and your own thinking about the issues, what roles do grades play in the educational system?• Are grades necessary? If so, why? If not, what alternate methods would you propose?• What are your ideas about grading during this period of national crisis?  Should we change our policies and procedures, stay on course, or modify our practices with regard to grading?
