The document discusses health equity and strategies for achieving it. It notes that health inequities exist in the US, with some population groups experiencing worse health outcomes and shorter lifespans. Healthcare organizations play a role in these disparities through biases and a lack of focus on disadvantaged communities. The document recommends that healthcare systems make health equity a strategic priority, use data to identify disparities, implement targeted interventions, and partner with community organizations. Allina Health is provided as an example for using these approaches to improve outcomes for minority patients.

presents the view of health and health care espoused in the constitution of the World Health Organization. Although the UnitedStates is a U.N. member state, one would be hard put to find consensus in the United States on a number of the points that it cites as basicprinciples.
Asking people in the United States if health is more than the absence of illness or infirmity could produce a host of different responses. Somerespondents might come down on the side of physical and mental well-being but have a problem with trying to address social well-beingunder the heading of health. Indeed, the fact that we have millions of uninsured and do not provide mental health care to a large proportion ofthe population would seem to indicate a lack of commitment to physical and mental well-being.
Those analyzing or deciding on a policy need to understand the differences in the operational definitions of health that are representedaround the table. In the best of all possible worlds, those seated at the table would agree on thatdefinition and move on, but sometimes theart of politics depends, in part, on knowing when to try to agree on principles, or on actions, or on both, and whether to use limited politicalcapital to try to bring them into alignment publicly.

Equity is the absence of avoidable, unfair, or remediable differences among groups of people, whether those groups are defined socially, economically, demographically or geographically or by other means of stratification. "Health equity” or “equity in health” implies that ideally, everyone should have a fair opportunity to attain their full health potential and that no one should be disadvantaged from achieving this potential.

Working Together for Health
Efforts to improve public health occur around the world every day. However, simply attempting to fix a problem without acknowledging, and respecting, the relationship between culture and health is not likely to have long-term success. Successful interventions, such as those in the case studies presented in your resources, demonstrate organizational collaboration. They also highlight the value of cultural relativism to improve population health outcomes. Working for the people (and with the people) can make an important impact on health.
To prepare for this Discussion, review Chapter 2, "Communities Working to Achieve Health Equity," in the Promoting Health Equity document from Week 2. Select one case study to profile in your discussion. How do the key concepts, addressed in this week's Learning Resources, relate to the case study you selected?
1. Briefly describe the population and health issue addressed in the case study.
2. In what way did cultural beliefs and behaviors contribute to the health issue in these case studies?
3. Which public health (or other) groups intervened, and how did they cooperate to improve health for this population?
4. What measures did the organization take to ensure they respected the dignity of the individuals and their culture?
5. How does this case study relate to our class resources addressing culture and collaboration?

For this discussion, I will access the overall health and identify key issues in Garland County, Arkansas. According to County Health Rankings of 2017, in the area of health outcomes Garland County, Arkansas ranked 44 out of 75 counties. When reviewing national and state results, Arkansas exceeded the U.S. median in all categories of health outcomes. For the health factors summary, they ranked much lower coming in at 28. In the category of health behaviors, 25% of adult Arkansans are smokers and 34% are obese. Both of these percentages are above national averages. Referring back to the topic of my previous discussion, the number of diagnosed sexually transmitted diseases was almost twice as many as the national average and the teen birth rate almost doubled the national average. In the category of clinical care Arkansas is near equal or slightly lower than national averages. Social and economic factors also rank fairly close to the national averages. Overall physical environment factors are no different than the national averages. In my opinion, Arkansas is a fairly clean and comfortable place to live.

A healthy nation is a wealthy nation, the truth of this saying can clearly be seen in various aspects of relationships expressed by countries between their exonomic wellbeing and the health of their people. There is no country that can thrive without a good health. Poor health in a country means that people are spending a lot of resources and also wasting a lot of time in seeking for treatment which probably does not work, on the other hand for a healthy nation, limited time is spent searching for effective medication and this also translates that little’s time is wasted and also apt of resources used in constructive agenda. For instance for when a –person is weighing out to invest resources or getting treatment, it is possible to do all of them at the same time owing to the efficiency that a good healthcare system may create.
Healthcare system however faces a plethora of issues or stressors as identified in this course. These stressors have been deemed to inhibit the desired effectiveness of healthcare in this country in order to compete effectively with other developed nations in offering quality healthcare to the people. According to research, stressors in healthcare have negative impact in the overal rendering of cost effective and efficient healthcare services to the patients. (Judge & Rayman, 2001). However the challenges t times have proved to be hard to deal with and this has prompted the need to have a better understanding of the measures that can be implemented at organizational level to deal with the same, the stressors affecting the healthcare sector usually revolve around internal and external factors. Internal factors basically bring stressors that healthcare providers can try to address while external stressors are usually imposed on healthcare facilities by the external factors hence hard for healthcare providers to deal with.
For this assignment the identified stressor affecting the healthcare in the high cost of accessing the healthcare in the country. According to the research the cost of healthcare in the US is the highest in the world with an individual spending about ten thousand dollars per year. This this is quite high owing to other countries budgets. For many people they would also anticipate that the quality of healthcare in the country also to match the high cost but this is quite opposite. Among the developed countries, US has the lowest quality of healthcare as rejected y other healthcare indicators such as life expectancy, access to healthcare, mental health, mortality rate among others. It is clear that the cost of healthcare is a major issue surrounding the healthcare in the country. However there are various measures that can be taken to address this stressor to quality healthcare among the Americans the ever raising cos.

Four Population Health Management Strategies that Help Organizations Improve ...Health Catalyst
Population health management (PHM) strategies help organizations achieve sustainable outcomes improvement by guiding transformation across the continuum of care, versus focusing improvement resources on limited populations and acute care. Because population health comprises the complete picture of individual and population health (health behaviors, clinical care social and economic factors, and the physical environment), health systems can use PHM strategies to ensure that improvement initiatives comprehensively impact healthcare delivery.
Organizations can leverage four PHM strategies to achieve sustainable improvement:
Data transformation
Analytic transformation
Payment transformation

Poor health in a country means that people are spending a lot of resources and also wasting a lot of time in seeking for treatment which probably does not work, on the other hand for a healthy nation, limited time is spent searching for effective medication and this also translates that little’s time is wasted and also apt of resources used in constructive agenda. For instance for when a –person is weighing out to invest resources or getting treatment, it is possible to do all of them at the same time owing to the efficiency that a good healthcare system may create.
Healthcare system however faces a plethora of issues or stressors as identified in this course. These stressors have been deemed to inhibit the desired effectiveness of healthcare in this country in order to compete effectively with other developed nations in offering quality healthcare to the people. According to research, stressors in healthcare have negative impact in the overal rendering of cost effective and efficient healthcare services to the patients. (Judge & Rayman, 2001). However the challenges t times have proved to be hard to deal with and this has prompted the need to have a better understanding of the measures that can be implemented at organizational level to deal with the same, the stressors affecting the healthcare sector usually revolve around internal and external factors. Internal factors basically bring stressors that healthcare providers can try to address while external stressors are usually imposed on healthcare facilities by the external factors hence hard for healthcare providers to deal with.
For this assignment the identified stressor affecting the healthcare in the high cost of accessing the healthcare in the country. According to the research the cost of healthcare in the US is the highest in the world with an individual spending about ten thousand dollars per year. This this is quite high owing to other countries budgets. For many people they would also anticipate that the quality of healthcare in the country also to match the high cost but this is quite opposite. Among the developed countries, US has the lowest quality of healthcare as rejected y other healthcare indicators such as life expectancy, access to healthcare, mental health, mortality rate among others. It is clear that the cost of healthcare is a major issue surrounding the healthcare in the country.

Four Population Health Management Strategies that Help Organizations Improve ...Health Catalyst
Population health management (PHM) strategies help organizations achieve sustainable outcomes improvement by guiding transformation across the continuum of care, versus focusing improvement resources on limited populations and acute care. Because population health comprises the complete picture of individual and population health (health behaviors, clinical care social and economic factors, and the physical environment), health systems can use PHM strategies to ensure that improvement initiatives comprehensively impact healthcare delivery.
Organizations can leverage four PHM strategies to achieve sustainable improvement:
Data transformation
Analytic transformation
Payment transformation
Care transformation

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
