Public health surveillance and prevention efforts in the U.S. reflec.docx

leonorepour284

Public health surveillance and prevention efforts in the U.S. reflect the involvement of numerous health care providers and organizations. Government agencies such as the CDC often function as a hub for the collection, coordination, and communication of public health-related data. Common applications of public health IT to promote and improve the health of populations include (but are not limited to) biosurveillance, disease registries, and immunization tracking. The timely and appropriate implementation of these applications can have a significant impact on the ability of providers to deliver health care to the their patients, which, in turn, can have a profound effect on a community's overall state of health and wellness. Consider the dire impact a SARS outbreak might have, for example, if patient diagnoses were not reported and shared regionally, nationally, and internationally. Prepare for this Application as follows: Conduct a literature review of a specific application of health information technology in public health and locate an example in which the application was used to address a public health-related concern. (You might wish to begin by researching a particular surveillance program, disease outbreak, disease registry, prevention program, or other public health-related event, and then identify the technology involved in this activity.) Find out how this application has impacted the public's health. Learn also about any ways in which health care providers and organizations were involved in the use of this information technology. Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: Describe the specific application you selected and the ways in which it addresses a public health-related concern. Summarize the potential benefits to the public, as well as any possible drawbacks, arising from the use of this application. Explain the role of hospitals and other health care organizations in contributing to or making use of this public health-related IT application. Discuss other implications of this application for health care providers and organizations. How has it impacted (or might it impact) clinical or administrative practices in hospitals or other health care institutions? Provide a rationale for your response. please use 2-3 resources and cite within paper with reference page!!! Your written assignments must follow APA guidelines.

The Impact of External FactorsConsider the following scenarioLi.docx

kailynochseu

The Impact of External Factors Consider the following scenario: Linda has been a nurse educator at LiveWell Medical Center for about 3 years. Since taking over the position, she has received many accolades for the new evidence-based practices she has shared in nurse trainings. Linda is now looking to turn her attention to patient education. She hopes to initiate bimonthly sessions that will help current and recently discharged patients to better manage their health and/or cope with difficult health issues. At Linda’s next meeting with LiveWell’s board of trustees, she confidently shares her proposal for this new program. At once, she is taken aback at their dismissive responses. “That sounds great Linda, but we simply do not have time to implement something of that caliber here. And how do you know if patients would even be interested in such a service?” Over the next hour, Linda contemplates these comments and realizes that, despite her best intentions, there was some truth to their remarks. Linda had initially been inspired to create this program after reading about a large rehabilitation center in San Antonio, Texas. The center had revolutionized their outpatient process, helping to demonstrate strong commitment to the community. Though it worked well in San Antonio, Linda had not conducted any preliminary research to learn if it could be effective in their small town of Pinedale, Wyoming. What external factors should Linda have investigated before trying to develop such a program? In addition, how could these factors continue to impact her program if the LiveWell board of trustees approves her idea? To prepare: · Review this week’s readings, specifically Chapter 6, “External Frame Factors,” in the Keating text and Chapter 5, “Forces and Issues Influencing Curriculum Development,” in the Billings course text. Reflect on the various external factors that can impact the way curriculum is developed, assessed, and evaluated. Then, consider whether certain factors influence institutions (academic settings) more or less than they do agencies (clinical settings). · Select one external factor from the following list to further explore for your Discussion posting: Community Population demographics and trends Political climate and body politic Societal patterns Health care system and health needs of the population Characteristics of the setting Need for the program Nursing profession Financial support · Consider how this factor might impact curriculum development, assessment, and evaluation in your own academic or clinical setting or in one with which you are familiar. In addition, conduct research to explore how this factor might impact nursing education as a whole. Note: Although accreditation is considered an important external factor, it is not listed as a factor for this week’s Discussion, as it will be the focus for next week’s Discussion. Questions to be addressed in my paper: 1. A description of the external factor you selected. 2. .

Correctly format citations and references, using current APA style. Context Community/public health nursing is nursing care that is population-focused and occurs in non-hospital settings. Numerous nursing theories can provide the structure for community/public health nursing; however, nursing theories that incorporate components of the general systems theory frequently provide the framework for the practice of community/public health nursing. Historically, nurses have made significant contributions to the field of public health. From providing maternal-child care to poor women in the late 1800s, to promoting hygiene among school aged children in the early 1900s, to providing environmental and safety care to industrial workers during World War I, nurses have been instrumental in shaping health policies (Maurer & Smith, 2013). Today, community/public health nurses have a key role in identifying and developing plans of care to address local, national, and international health issues. Many factors influence the health of communities and populations, including national policies that focus on health promotion. Healthy People, a major national health promotion program issued by the U.S. Surgeon General, identifies major health problems of the nation and sets national goals and objectives targeting health promotion (Maurer & Smith, 2013). If adopted, activities that target health promotion can result in disease prevention. Reference Maurer, F. A., & Smith, C. M. (2013).

Describe barriers to receiving health care services related to the event, and explain the role of the professional nurse in providing health care services related to the global event. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: SHOW LESS Competency 1: Explain the factors that affect the health of communities. Explain the response to a global event at the local and national levels. Explain how social attitudes and issues of race, class, and/or gender may impact the response to a global event. Explain the role of international and altruistic organizations in providing health care services during a global event. Competency 2: Apply evidence-based interventions to promote health and disease prevention and respond to community health issues. Explain the role of the professional nurse in providing health care services related to global events. Competency 3: Develop an evidence-based nursing response for providing health care services related to community crises. Describe barriers to health care services during a global event. Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for a nursing professional. Write content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. Correctly format paper, citations, and references, using current APA style. Preparation Suppose that within your health care organization there is no formal process or structure for health care professionals to volunteer time and services in times of global need. You would like to develop a proposal for establishing a process that would allow nurses and other health care professionals to secure time off to work with a specific worldwide organization, to provide health care services during global events. As part of the proposal, you would need to provide background research to support your request. Conduct background research on either one of the following to support the proposal you would develop: Choose one worldwide epidemic, such as the 2009 flu pandemic, 2009 mumps outbreak, 2012 Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus outbreak, the recent Ebola virus epidemic, or another epidemic. Research articles that focus on how the initial outbreak was handled; the role of social attitudes and issues of race, class, and gender in responding to the outbreak; barriers to people receiving proper health care; and the role of nursing in providing health care services related to the epidemic. Choose one natural disaster, such as the earthquakes in Haiti, Pakistan, or Nepal; Cyclone Nargis in Myanma.
