History Of Epidemics In The New World

Epidemiology Assignment 2 – History Of Epidemics In The New World

We’re going to build on the Module 2 assignment “History of Epidemics in the Old World” to look at typical epidemics that we see in more recent times. We’re going to add onto the same template some of the more recent epidemics. Hopefully you will be alert enough to notice how the trends have changed in more recent years.

Below you will find a list of epidemics that have affected the world population in more recent times, for example, since 1900. Choose 5-6 of these epidemics for further research. There are many to choose from, you can include as many as you wish, as long as you find at least 5.
– Cholera
– Spanish Flu (Influenza 1918-1919)
– H1N1
– Leprosy
– Diphtheria
– Ebola
– Dengue fever
– Measles
– Typhus
– Yellow Fever
– Tuberculosis
– Legionnaires
– Malaria
– Polio
– Whooping Cough
– TB
– Chicken Pox
– SARS
– Lyme Disease
– Scarlet Fever

2. Build your chart on the Excel template:  Chart Epidemics in the New World.xlsxPreview the document .

Fill in the spaces with information that you find on the internet to give a historical perspective to the impact that these more recent epidemics may have had on the affected populations. If you can not find the information, type  “unkn” in the cell, but it will be reflected in your grade if you use the “unkn” option excessively. It may be easier to find information of the more recent epidemics, so you probably won’t have many blank cells.

Key Assignment Final Paper – Report of Findings to Mr. Magone, CEO, Healing Hands Hospital and the “Future of Healing Hands” Task Force

Continue to use the scenario to assist you with this assignment.

There are two parts to this assignment:

Part 1:

Using your instructor’s and peers’ feedback and suggestions from Week 4, complete your final draft of the Key Assignment, Report to the Future of Healing Hands Task Force. Add the following analysis to complete your paper from Week 4 and then submit the entire paper including the analysis for this assignment:

Mr. Magone and the senior leadership of Healing Hands Hospital understand the importance of evaluating operational performance in the healthcare industry and its impact not only on patient satisfaction but also maintaining sound financial management. This is increasingly important in the era of value-based care including Medicare’s Quality Payment Program. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis of data related to patient care is needed. This data includes average length of stay, readmission rates, mortality rates and compliance with standard of care guidelines.

In addition, Healing Hands Hospital is preparing financially for the many different reimbursement changes associated with Medicare Advantage Plans and the need to demonstrate improved quality of care delivered to the hospital’s patients. As part of the Task Force you have been asked to research and analyze data regarding 1) length of stay and 2) hospital acquired infections and the impact of both metrics on the hospital budget and reimbursement. As reimbursement payments become increasingly linked to quality of care, it is important for Healing Hands Hospital to continue to improve in these areas. You have been asked to help the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Nursing Officer evaluate these aspects of patient care as part of your report to Mr. Magone and the Task Force. Submit a 7-10 page paper incorporating your unit 1-4 Individual Project topics including the analysis of how Healing Hands Hospital compares to other hospitals in the nation, state and region in:

Average length of stay
Hospital acquired infection rate

Describe how these statistics impact the organization’s budget and reimbursement opportunities in the future. Be sure to include how Medicare reimbursement will be impacted.

For your research, remember to use the hospital that you chose to represent Healing Hands Hospital and use data for the same state and region for comparison in your analysis. Put your data for comparison in a table or graph in your paper.

For the final paper reference list, be sure to include a minimum of 3 reference sources besides the textbook identifying where you found your data on hospital statistics and add this to your references for the other sections of your final paper from the previous week’s assignments. Document your references using APA format.

Part 2:

Being asked to be part of the Task Force was recognition of your abilities and value to Healing Hands Hospital. When you started to work on the Task Force, you were not an expert in all of the aspects of the healthcare industry on which you were asked to report. Your manager, Ms. Woods, the Chief Operating Officer, recognizes this and that you had not previously had the opportunity to present to the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the executive team. She tells you that this is a good opportunity to develop skills as a professional and expand your expertise level in the healthcare field. She is curious about how you feel about the opportunity and what skills you feel you already had and those that you developed in this process. She also would like to know what skills you feel you still need to develop to continue to advance in your healthcare management career. Write a 2-3 paragraph memo to Ms. Woods that answers her questions and reflect on your professional development through the work that you did for the Task Force (as a part of this course) and how you will continue to maintain your acquired skills and knowledge base.

Research

Question description

The ability to read, understand, critique, and integrate research studies and to design a study to address a gap in the research literature is a vital tool. As you write your, you may be reading hundreds of studies, many of which you will evaluate as part of a coherent literature review.

Select 5 empirical articles from peer-reviewed journals that:

  • you consider critical to your understanding of your area of your research (ethics and absenteeism)
  • all address a particular phenomenon and attempt to contribute to theory about it

Part 1

1. Describe each study, including:

  • the research problem, questions, or hypotheses
  • the research purpose
  • type of design and elements of the design (e.g., sample, data analysis,

operationalization of constructs)

  • threats to validity and if and how they were addressed
  • the findings and their implications

2. Critically evaluate each study: Does the author make a compelling case for the meaning and significance of the findings?

Part 2

Write a literature review that explains what is known and not known about the phenomenon based on a critical evaluation of the five studies.

Part 3

Develop a research question that addresses one of the unknowns you identified in Part 2 and sketch a qualitative study that can answer the question about what is unknown and contribute to theory (in some sense of theory you discuss in Question 1).

Address:

  • the research purpose
  • type of design and elements of the design (e.g., sample, the type of data you need

to collect and how you will collect it, data analysis)

  • the strengths and weaknesses of your envisioned design and methods
  • quantitative: threats to validity and how your design will address them
  • quantitative: the constructs you will measure and what you will do in order to

determine how to operationalize them (you need not identify specific measures)

  • qualitative: your means of ensuring the quality of your findings
  • justification for why your chosen design and methods are more appropriate for your

research question than alternatives you have considered

  • your methods of data analysis
  • how the data you collect will enable you to answer your research question and

contribute to theory

(e.g., internal validity, threats to validity, and operationalization) needed to address this

question.

The structure of your paper should be as follows:

Body (15 pages, no more; APA Style; use appropriate headings for organization of the paper)

References (APA Style)

Cults

What aspects of social psychology discussed in your textbook might help explain why someone might become attracted to a harmful cult or terrorist group?

  • After watching the video, pretend you have been given a job with the United Nations and you have been asked to work on addressing the conditions conducive to the rise of harmful cults and spread of terrorism.  Given what you now know about the relevant social psychological mechanisms at play, what might be some of the steps you would want to take?Chapter 12 SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

    Cognitive dissonance is aroused by inconsistent beliefs and behaviors. Believing cigarettes are bad for your health, but smoking cigarettes anyway, can cause cognitive dissonance. To reduce cognitive dissonance, individuals can change their behavior, as in quitting smoking, or change their belief, such as discounting the evidence that smoking is harmful.

is intelligent design theory scientific?

/in /by

Discussion Board Forum 3

 

Topic: Intelligent Design

You and your  classmates are ordinary citizens interested in science education. You  have been assembled into an advisory group. The Virginia State Education  Commission is drafting a policy that will affect all school boards in  the state. You are being protected in a secluded hotel from ACLU lawyers  and right-wing demonstration groups. Here is your question: is  intelligent design theory scientific? The Virginia State Education  Commission is paying you thousands of dollars for a simple yes or no  answer to this question. Such an answer may be unrealistic, but court  battles will follow. You need to get as close to a yes or no answer as  possible.

As a group, you have 3 reference sources:

  • Your textbook’s 2 chapters on origins and the scientific method
  • The course presentation entitled “Origins, ID, and the Public School Classroom”
  • Two expensive expert witnesses: Michael Behe, a Lehigh University  biochemist, and Eugenia Scott of the National Center for Science  Education (your two expert witnesses come to you from presentations in  the Reading & Study folder of this module/week)

For your thread:

As panelists, first do your  homework, then make a decision: based on how the scientific method  works, is intelligent design theory scientific? Can you use it to do  science?

The title must begin with the word “yes” or “no.” Using 3 concise, numbered sentences, argue your answer.

For your replies:

Seek  to reply to at least 2 classmates whose positions are different from  your own. The objective is to convince the whole group to accept your  side. If most classmates’ threads are sympathetic to your own, critique  their arguments rather than their conclusions. This makes the group’s  overall conclusive support stronger. For each reply, use 2 concise, numbered sentences.

Note:  In your replies, you may digress into the related question: based on  how the scientific method works, is macroevolutionary theory scientific?  Can you use it to do science?
