 Assignment: Global Healthcare Comparison Matrix and Narrative Statement
Note: This Assignment is due on Day 5 of Week 11.
If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that
outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact
should be avoided?
You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed
these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures.
Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic
customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors
contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare
issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can
create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.
In this Assignment, you will examine a global health issue and
consider the approach to this issue by the United States and by one
other country.
To Prepare:
Review the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global health agenda and
select one global health issue to focus on for this Assignment.
Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this
Assignment.
Reflect on how the global health issue you selected is approached in
the U.S. and in the additional country you selected.

Plan for Social Change)
Part 1: Global Health Comparison Matrix
Focusing on the country you selected and the U.S., complete the Global
Health Comparison Matrix. Be sure to address the following:
Consider the U.S. national/federal health policies that have been
adapted for the global health issue you selected from the WHO global
health agenda. Compare these policies to the additional country you
selected for study.
Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each policy.
Explain how the social determinants of health may impact the global

This 2000 word written assignment has two distinct parts that you should address separately. Please use headings for each part.

You do not need to provide an introduction or a conclusion for the written assignment or any of the parts.

There are two family scenarios for you to choose from; select ONE scenario and use this for your entire assignment.

Part 1 – Nursing Care of the Family: Assessment (500 words)

 Create a genogram to visually depict the family’s structure. You must use the PowerPoint slide which will be supplied to you within the Assessment Folder on Learning@Griffith course site to create your genogram. Save the slide as a picture file (*.jpeg), and insert the picture into your document.

  •   Below the genogram, summarise the structure of the family to demonstrate your understanding of the family assessment findings.

Discuss in simple terms the relationships between soil types/profiles and the biomes in which they are found

Test #2 REWRITES 30 March 2018
ECS 111 Name:______________________________________
Answer question(s) of your choice. For the rewrite, you need to include appropriate references. References must be in the format given in the writing guide. Avoid blogs and other non-permanent references. In considering question five (5), consider the equilibrium states for P and what they mean to the yield. From the point of view of the math, you should be able to work out the equilibria (there are three, the null state P=0 and two possible P >0.). Then analyze the Y for them. In essay form or you should discuss the results.

1) Discuss in simple terms the relationships between soil types/profiles and the biomes in which they are found. How do these and water availability influence agriculture?

2) Describe your favorite animal, its geographic range, and current status (sustainable, endangered, or threatened).

3) Discuss the concept of land ownership. What is the role of government in terms of ownership of land and resources? (Here you may pick a system or contrast a set of government systems.) Give some examples of issues involved either in the past and/or at present.

4) There is major concern over the future of tropical rainforests. What are the issues involved with this debate? What are the explicit ecosystem problems with forest use? Include a discussion of the fate of disturbed forest areas.

5) Consider a population of insect pest, P, potentially infesting a particular area, A, of agricultural land. If the population equation for the insect is then

dP/dt = r P (1-P/αA) – δ A,

where r is the maximum rate of growth in P, α the carrying capacity per area, and δ the damping over an area by application of insecticides.

Now the financial yield, Y, on the crops is reduced by the pest such that the yield equation is

Y = β ( A – γ P).

where β=βo – c δ, reflecting both the crop damage reduction of the gross production, γ P, and the cost involved with insecticide treatment, cδ

Discuss the repercussions (effects) of the pest on farm income in this situation. What are the larger implications that arise in these situations?

Technology is plying a vital role in health care system for providing safe and quality care. Its not helping to collect and save data but also sharing the data between health care providers involved in patient care for effective outcomes of care. Technology is an integral part of health screening diagnosis, and treatment.
In my health organizations technology has become important part of patient care. We start using technology the time we step in the building as we scan our chip ID to enter in our locked dementia unit which enhance patient’s safety because only authorized staff can enter in the unit. Technology is used for electronic shift report which help us to keep track how was the patient’s condition in previous shift and if there is any big changes in patient’s health, any fall happens during previous shift hours. We use software to keep the track of medication administration every day for each patient. Technology is used to keep the records of each patient e.g. health records, history, physicals, any incident, admission or discharge records, any information related to patient are recorded, using the online software which makes it so much easier for all staff who is authorized to use information. Pharmacy can check the medication orders for the patients and recommend accordingly which is only possible because of technology, the moment we get orders it is verified with the pharmacy, and medication orders are processed faster than ever, and the medication was sent by pharmacy on time without any delay. We can imagine if there is no such technology how long it will take to get one order and then how long it will take to reach pharmacy and get medication. Technology helps to process the things faster, which makes it possible to provide the best possible care to the patients.

Digital innovations have radically transformed the healthcare system. Information technology plays a growing role in the delivery of healthcare and helps in addressing the health problems and challenges encountered by clinicians and other health professionals in practice (Campanella, Lovato, Marone, Fallacara, & Mancuso, 2015). Electronic health records (EHRs) have been widely applied in the United States to document and gather patient information. An electronic health record refers to a systematic electronic collection of patients’ health information such as their medical history, medication orders, laboratory results, medical procedures, vital signs, radiology reports, and physician and nurse notes. EHRs also help healthcare professionals to make sound clinical decisions as EHRs also include decision support systems (DSS) which provide up-to-date medical knowledge, reminders, and other actions (Campanella, Lovato, Marone, Fallacara, & Mancuso, 2015).
Evidence supports that EHRs can improve the quality of healthcare, increase time efficiency, improve adherence to guidelines, and reduce medication errors and adverse drug events (Campanella, Lovato, Marone, Fallacara, & Mancuso, 2015). Consequently, can also reduce costs associated with medical errors, adverse drug events, and time inefficiency. Considerable reduction in costs occurs when the quality of patient care is improved and patient harm reduced. Adherence to guidelines by healthcare professionals has a direct impact on the use of resources and the cost of healthcare as DSS supports clinicians in clinical decision making (Miriovsky, Shulman, & Abernethy, 2012). This reduces medical errors, adverse drug events, and resource wastage. HER guidelines are promoted to decrease variability in clinical practice and the use of ineffective therapies in clinical practice. The use of appropriate information technology in healthcare delivery improves the efficiency of hospitals as benefits exceed operational costs.
