In the United States, African Americans represent only 12% of the population but account for almost half of all new HIV infections. There is no reported biological or genetic reason for this difference in health. This is an example of which IOM aim that the United States has failed to meet? Safe Equitable Effective Timely Patient-Centered Clear my choice True or false? Kaizen events (described in detail in Lighter chapter 5 but discussed in class already as a tool you each should consider using for your final projects) are multi-year quality improvement projects that require sustained resources and fulltime personnel. Select one: True False Which of the following (select all that apply) are true about systemic structure? Systemic structure influences behavior. Systemic structure is not readily visible. Successful change to systemic structure requires going below the waterline. Systemic structure changes do not always require going below the waterline. None of the above.

The survival of healthcare organizations depends on applying lean principles. Organizations that adopt lean principles can reduce waste while improving the quality of care. By applying stringent clinical data measurement approaches to routine care delivery, healthcare systems identify best practice protocols and incorporate those into the clinical workflow. Data from these best practices are applied through continuous-learning loop that enables teams across the organization to update and improve protocols–ultimately reducing waste, lowering costs, and improving access to care. This executive report based on a presentation by Dr. Brent James at a regional medical center, covers the following: 1. How lean healthcare principles can help improve the quality of care. 2. The steps healthcare organizations need to take to create a continuous-learning loop. 3. How a lean approach creates financial leverage by eliminating waste and improving net operating margins and ROI.

Running Head: Hyper mode emergency notification system 1 Johnathan Donnelly Hyper mode emergency notification system: 10/24/2106 · Week 1: System or Application Overview · Week 1: Requirements Specification · Week 2: System or Application Design · Week 3: Test and Quality Assurance Plan · Week 4: Development Strategy · Week 5: Integration and Deployment Plan Hyper Mode Emergency notification System application overview This is a system that is used in business to increase efficiency through tools that ensure communication. The information system is applied to deliver messages to the particular people through their devices successfully around different organizations on a fast moving crisis. In this case, the intended stakeholders are individuals, groups, and society that have running institutions or business out there ("Emergency Notification System Emergency App," 2016). The primary sponsor of the project is a mechatronic engineering professional solutions company that deal with technology and programming. Requirements specification The goals and objectives of emergency notification system are; -The introduction of the new technology to the existing market so as to find other opportunities. -Reduce the risks of running a business while away. -Maintain the intact of the owner and the business running. Lessen the cost of regular -reducing the manual method of notification, therefore, covering overtime expenses. -maintain security at high degree since it saves time. - work and develop skills of the individuals who will be involved in the system. The requirement of hyper mode notification includes high technology automation features, excellent responsive message delivery so as to run convenient sending and receiving alerts. OSHA and NEPA laws should be observed. The system should be able to hold a mass variety of the notifications ("Emergency Notification System Emergency App," 2016). The functional requirements should be intelligent automation, have advanced parameters, have a detailed audit log, allow mobile messaging, able to maintain two-way communication and be able to track delivery status and also the feedback. The non-functional are, poor in GIS mapping thus not able to draw the required simple maps. Poor on voice alert and only rely on text speech, poor support of divisions and organizations, unable to help different audiences of language customization. Assumption of the projects is; The system notification works through all series of Android kits. The system is compatible to emails notification and messaging. The hosting channel will work around 95% correctly. The system can operate at any range of distance, therefore, initiating alerts at any corner.

Berwick the triple aim - care, health, and cost

MedXellence

The document discusses the "Triple Aim" of improving the U.S. healthcare system by simultaneously pursuing three goals: improving individual care experiences, improving population health outcomes, and reducing per capita healthcare costs. It argues that achieving the Triple Aim requires identifying a specific population, establishing constraints like universal coverage, and designating an "integrator" organization responsible for coordinating care across settings to achieve all three goals. The integrator's key functions include engaging patients, redesigning primary care, managing population health, and integrating different parts of the healthcare system.

In t r o d u c t I o n One of the most important issues to address in the medical practice is the quality and safety of the care provided to patients. The Institute of Medicine (IOM 2001), a presti- gious branch of the National Institutes of Health, stated in its landmark report Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, “In its current form, habits, and environment, American health care is incapable of providing the public with the quality health care it expects and deserves.” C o p y r i g h t 2 0 1 7 .

A more recent study found that this number has increased since publication of the 2000 IOM report despite substantial efforts to improve. Medical errors have now become the third leading cause of death in the United States (Makary and Daniel 2016). The complexity of medical service and the inconsistency with which these services are delivered, not to mention the fragmented nature of the system, have led to a number of quality concerns (Mosadeghrad 2014), including a lack of systematic approaches to care delivery and quality improvement. Efforts to improve quality in the medical profession have a long tradition of focusing on individual performance versus system performance. Exhibit 10.1 illustrates the potential flaw in this thinking. The bell-shaped curve, P-1, represents the overall performance of any given system. Curve P-2 illustrates an improved system of performance where the median performance is moved from M-1 to M-2. If an organization seeks to improve by only focusing on the low performers, it experiences only a small improvement, shown as I-1. By improving th ...

This document discusses reinvigorating condoms as an HIV prevention tool. It summarizes that condoms are effective at preventing HIV transmission but there are still barriers to their use. Condoms play a key role in HIV prevention strategies alongside other interventions. However, risk compensation behaviors, structural barriers like criminalization of homosexuality, and lack of messaging around dual protection can reduce condom uptake and consistent use. The document calls for addressing these challenges and rigorously evaluating condom programming elements to improve access and effectiveness in different epidemic settings.

AIDSTAR-One Reinvigorating Condoms as an HIV Prevention Tool

AIDSTAROne

This document discusses reinvigorating condoms as an HIV prevention tool. It begins by noting that while treatment is improving, new infections still outpace those entering treatment, so prevention is still needed. Condoms are effective prevention but face challenges. The document then discusses evidence that condoms work at population levels; barriers like risky behavior, structural barriers, and dual protection; procurement and quality issues; and calls for addressing behavioral disinhibition, criminalization, developing dual protection indicators, building quality control protocols, and strengthening procurement coordination.

You wonder where that information might come from. Vignette 2 You hear that life expectancy in the United States is now approximately 80 years. You wonder what that implies about how long you will live and what that means for your grandmother, who is 82 and in good health. Vignette 3 You hear on the news the gruesome description of a shark attack on a young boy from another state and decide to keep your son away from the beach. While playing at a friend’s house, your son nearly drowns after falling into the backyard pool. You ask why so many people think that drowning in a backyard pool is unusual when it is far more common than shark attacks. Vignette 4 “Balancing the harms and benefits is essential to making decisions,” your clinician says. The treatment you are considering has an 80% chance of working, but there is also a 20% chance of side effects. “What do I need to consider when balancing the harms and the benefits?” you ask. Vignette 5 You are faced with a decision to have a medical procedure. One physician tells you there’s no other choice and you must undergo the procedure, another tells you about the harms and benefits and advises you to go ahead and the third lays out the options and tells you it’s your decision. Why are there such different approaches to making decisions these days? Questions-to-Ask (1) What is the scope of health communications? Where does public health data come from? How is public health information compiled to measure the health of a population? How can we evaluate the quality of the presentation of health information? What factors affect how we perceive public health information? Questions-to-Ask (2) What type of information needs to be combined to make health decisions?

The document discusses medical errors and patient safety. It notes that medical errors result in tens of thousands of deaths each year in the US, costing billions of dollars. Underreporting of errors is a problem due to fear of punishment and a "sweep it under the rug" attitude. National organizations are working to improve safety through initiatives to reduce infections, falls, and other hospital events. Reporting of errors and "near misses" can help analyze root causes and improve systems to prevent future occurrences.

Sample Annotated Bibliography Entry This is citing Sims, Laura.docx

Sample Annotated Bibliography Entry This is citing Sims, Laura S. The Politics of Fat. London, England: M.E. Sharpe Inc. 1998. Print. This the summary Chapter 4, pages 99 through 127, of the source discusses fat production on the farm, and it details how much federal regulation actually influences agricultural matters that attribute to overall fat production in the standard diet. It begins by outlining the financial aspects of the agricultural sector of the American economy. It speaks on how the Great Depression brought about legislative changes that were designed to be a quick fix to ensure food could remain in supply for the poverty stricken United States. It lists things such as financial aid from the government to farmers and debt forgiveness as well as supplemental income to farmers. It also explains how this financial aid from the government was only given to high fat producing sections of agriculture. The point that is made within the chapter, time and time again is that the laws and regulations implemented during the great depression were designed to function only as a quick fix and that the fact that those same laws remain in effect to this day (1998) is changing the way fat production occurs in farms all across the United States. The next portion of the chapter shifts to display how these federal laws helped to create an easy way for the federal government to greatly influence the pricing and availability of fat as a whole. It lists specific policies of the federal government that affect the infrastructure of agriculture. The chapter then focuses on the dairy production within the United States specifically, and it details all of the ways that federal regulation imposed its will upon things such as pricing, availability, quality, and even marketing for dairy products on a national level. The chapter then moves and concludes by stating similar issues of federal influence that has to deal specifically with beef production in the United States. The chapter ends by again restating that federal policy and intervention were intended to be quick fixes for the crisis of the depression, yet they still remain in effect and the government has great influence over many facets of American agriculture. This is the evaluation This source was fairly relevant, pertaining to a portion of the overall topic, yet this information illustrates factors that are leading to obesity and issues caused by it. The source was outdated since it is very likely that more recent information has developed over the last twenty years. The information within the chapter did list many ways in which the federal government had control to regulate things such as pricing and marketing, and while it never states whether or not this is positive, negative, or unnecessary, it does clearly present the current federal regulations as being outdated and in need of reform. The book’s “about the author” section says that Laura Sims is a doctor of human nutrition as well as a professo.

This document summarizes a research article that tested the hypothesis that HIV prevalence is not associated with governance. The researcher used governance data from the World Bank across six dimensions for 149 countries with UNAIDS HIV prevalence estimates from 2002. When countries were divided into three groups based on mean governance scores, the median HIV prevalence was lower (0.2%) for countries with higher mean governance compared to 0.7% and 0.75% for countries with lower and middle mean governance scores, despite improvements in other health and economic indicators. The results rejected the hypothesis and showed HIV prevalence is significantly associated with poor governance.
