The course of illness can be influenced by biological, psychological, and/or social factors covering a broad range of topics that include stress, coping, and behaviors that either promote health and prevent illness, or contribute to the development of clinical problems. Health and wellness are important to our daily lives and this is true even in the context of being diagnosed with a chronic illness such as diabetes mellitus. The interplay between emotions, cognitive, and behavioral/physical factors can affect all aspects of health and illness. Individual differences such as culture, ethnicity, lifestyle, religion, gender, identity development, financial status, and social support should be considered when analyzing the individual’s response to a chronic illness. Numerous research studies have investigated the impact of one or more of these factors in terms of the effect on chronic disease outcomes. These outcomes can include symptom management and/or progression of the severity of the disease. Explanatory theories often describe factors that contribute to health problems, or interfere with prevention activities, and thus provide targets for change. One such theory is the Health Belief Model (HBM) which addresses perceptions of the health problem. These perceptions include the degree of threat in terms of susceptibility and severity, any benefits to be obtained by avoiding the perceived threat, and various internal (e.g., self-efficacy) and external (e.g., barriers to care) factors that influence the individual’s decision to act. Other theories emphasize motivations that influence a continuum of stages of behavioral change. The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change is a theory of this type. The response to chronic illness and the illness experience itself can be described by these models. In managing chronic disease, there are coping strategies and behavior changes that support optimal outcomes and therapeutic interventions can be designed for greater effectiveness by using these two models. For your paper you will choose from the two options below. The option you choose will provide the focus and title for your paper. Option A: Diabetes Mellitus and the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change Option B: Diabetes Mellitus and the Health Belief Model To support your work, you will perform research using the Ashford University Library and/or other search methods to provide references to support your work. You must include a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources, published within the past five years relating to diabetes mellitus and to either the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (Option A) or the Health Belief Model (Option B). The use of additional scholarly and/or peer-reviewed references is highly recommended. These may be obtained from academic, professional, or governmental agency sources. Dictionaries, encyclopedias, non-academic websites, and media outlet sites or publications are not appropriate resour.

Healthcare Economics: Final Project Guidelines and Grading Guide Overview The final project for this course is the creation of a mock open comment to a significant federal legislation that has affected healthcare or the healthcare industry. An open comment is an informed opinion written in the form of a letter to counsel authors of legislation on the perceived benefits and consequences of the opinion. You will select a key issue affecting health and healthcare in the United States from the topic areas as defined by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and identify a corresponding health policy addressing that issue. This mock open comment will examine the macroeconomic forces at play in a recent healthcare policy and determine whether any forces were inadequately considered. The mock open comment should be nonpartisan, stakeholder agnostic, and supported by research from reputed sources. The final submission will correspond to the Purdue University method of organization for white papers as indicated on its Online Writing Lab (OWL). The final project will be broken down into three separate components: submission of an executive summary with references, the open comment paper, and a five-minute 'TED Talk-style' presentation. The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The final project will be submitted in Module Seven. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: Assess the strategic and operational use of economic principles and indicators to manipulate the healthcare experience for patients and their caregivers Articulate the effects of contemporary policies and regulations on the American healthcare system and the healthcare consumer Describe the impact of prominent financial models in healthcare on the strategies of market players Distinguish the influence of socioeconomic factors of American society on the healthcare delivery system and community health Analyze ways that behavioral models of demanders, suppliers, and other healthcare agencies influence economic determinates and barriers to change in the American healthcare system Prompt After choosing a topic area from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s topic areas, you will create a comment letter addressing the abilities and inabilities of a legislative action to impact the economic forces impacting the issue. The policy you select to evaluate should affect a health topic in which you have an interest or one that affects a population of significance to you. While your submission will center on a pivotal piece of legislation, this is not a policy paper. Focus on how the legislation would affect the key health issue and the macroeconomic forces that produced the issue. The TED Talk-style portion of your project should start by making your au ...

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 14-16 slides with speaking notes on the new regulations impacting the practice as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Introduction The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA or ACA) was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. The ACA attempts to increase access to care, reduce cost, and improve quality. Nearly 50 different reform initiatives were implemented between 2010 and 2017. Although primary care is a major focus of the act, these additional initiatives are focused on 10 different areas, including public health, prevention of disease, community health, and increasing revenue provisions to pay for the reform (Niles, 2021). The law has been controversial due to the mandate that all Americans must purchase health insurance. The U.S. government plays a significant role in the operation of the country's health care system. Quality, access, funding, education, and preventative services are all influenced by the U.S. government (Niles, 2021), and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has further increased the role and involvement of the government in health care. All health care administrators must be knowledgeable on the role of the government. Numerous governmental organizations exist, such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Office of the Surgeon General to name a few. Each organization exists for a specific purpose and has a specific mission. Your role as an administrator will be to understand the scope of these agencies and to help your organization meet or exceed the governmental mandates imposed by each. Reference Niles, N. J. (2021). Basics of the U.S. health care system (4th ed.). Jones & Bartlett Learning. Demonstration of Proficiency By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria: Competency 1: Analyze current health reform, policy, and regulation in U.S. health care. Explain the Affordable Care Act and its impact on the U.S. health care system and on the practice of health care in the United States. Analyze current trends in policy and predict future reforms. Explain how health care reform and policy have impacted health care quality and cost. Explain how regulatory agencies have evolved to address health reform and policy. Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others. Produce a presentation that conveys understanding of the topic, its context, and its relevance. Use academic writing conventions such as APA formatting and cita.
