Why is it important to specifically identify those individuals who are the most vulnerable in terms of getting a certain disease or diseases?
Why do general or mainstream approaches typically not work on those high-risk populations or groups?
REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTION AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS EACH POST)
                                                       CLASSMATE’S POST
Recognizing individuals who are most vulnerable to disease susceptibility is important because individuals in this high-risk population may further be susceptible to additional diseases given their determinants of health.  The exacerbation of disease outcome may be the result of factors such as socioeconomic status or other conditions that hinder disease recovery. Therefore, it is important to implement specific interventions that address the populations as, without a public health intervention, the disease may be further compounded.
Given this high-risk population, there are mainstream approaches that do not typically work in these groups.  One reason is that high-risk populations may have higher complexities of risk factors which include individual, peer, family, school, communities, and societal domains. These domains must first be addressed with interventions that involve building trust, access, and other modalities that offer a more tailored approach to high-risk populations in order to be successful.

The 1999 landmark study titled “To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System” highlighted the unacceptably high incidence of U.S. medical errors and put forth recommendations to improve patient safety. Since its publication, the recommendations in “To Err Is Human’ have guided significant changes in nursing practice in the United States.
In this Discussion, you will review these recommendations and consider the role of health information technology in helping address concerns presented in the report.
To prepare:

Review the summary of “To Err Is Human” presented in the Plawecki and Amrhein article found in this week’s Learning Resources.
Consider the following statement:

“The most significant barrier to improving patient safety identified in “To Err Is Human” is a “lack of awareness of the extent to which errors occur daily in all health care settings and organizations (Wakefield, 2008).”

Review “The Quality Chasm Series: Implications for Nursing” focusing on Table 3: “Simple Rules for the 21st Century Health Care System.” Consider your current organization or one with which you are familiar. Reflect on one of the rules where the “current rule” is still in operation in the organization and consider another instance in which the organization has effectively transitioned to the new rule.Post your thoughts on how the development of information technology has helped address the concerns about patient safety raised in the “To Err Is Human” report. Summarize how informatics has assisted in improving health care safety in your organization and areas where growth is still needed.

In week 3, we discuss Chapter 3 and how to evaluate the external environment.  Part of that analysis requires a review of the state of the economy along with what the outlook will be.  Within the confines of the simulation, the economy is fairly steady.  However, in real life, we are in the middle of a pandemic that has taken it’s toll on many business.  
For this weeks discussion, do a brief external analysis of your shoe company within the simulation as if it were a live company.  Identify two areas to focus on (i.e. employment, or consumer options for competitors) and discuss the following:
-Potential impact of the external environment
-Necessary strategy changes

Assignment: Cohort Group Experience Self-Reflection
During this course, you explored personal characteristics of the effective group leader and considered the impact of culture in group work. You are encouraged to reflect on your unique characteristics as you continue on a journey of self-reflection and self-awareness in your development as a group counselor.
You have also had the opportunity to participate in a small group of your peers with the task of developing a group proposal. Reflecting on how you worked as a cohort, managed conflicts, resolved problems, and shared work responsibilities has much to do with how you experienced yourself and others in your small group. Although your group was not intended to be a counseling group, the parallel process is evident. You likely experienced the emergence of small group dynamics at each stage of the development of your proposal.
For this Assignment, you will reflect on your cohort experience to develop your skills in becoming more self-aware as a member of a collaborative group.
To prepare:
· Review your notes, review the stages of groups, the characteristics of each stage of group, and member behaviors that are common to group work.
· Review the School of Counseling’s Key Professional Dispositions, paying special attention to Professional Behaviors 3 and 12; Interpersonal Behaviors 4, 7, 13, 15, and 16; and Intrapersonal Behaviors 1, 7, 13, 20, and 22.
· Using your knowledge of group process and dynamics, consider your weekly self-reflection notes to assess your role as a group member, paying special attention to how this may inform you as a future group leader.
· Review and use the Cohort Group Experience Self-Reflection Rubric to guide your reflection.
The Assignment:
In no more than 2–3 pages (not including your cover page), respond to the following prompts/guidelines in a well-organized narrative style and format. Use specific examples to support your points.
Reflecting on your small cohort group process during the development of your Group Proposal, respond to the following:
· How would you describe your role in the group? For example, did you assume the leadership role? Did you sit back and wait to see who spoke up? Did you find yourself irritated with the members or the progress of the group? Did you feel more or less adequate as a group member?
· How did you end up in the role you assumed? Is this a familiar role for you? Does this resemble a role you played in your family?
· How would you describe the group member dynamics? Did some members do more of the work? Less of the work? How did you respond to those members?
· Identify a time when the group faced a conflict or problem. What was your part in exacerbating or resolving the concern? Did you become the problem-solver? The silent member? The peacekeeper? Given this experience, how might you handle conflict in the future?
· Review the School of Counseling’s Key Professional Dispositions and consider how your experience in your cohort group may have been guided by the dispositions. Which ones were most meaningful to your professional development?
· What did you learn about yourself as a group member?
· Consider what you have learned about the counselor as a group leader. Identify areas where you found strengths as well as areas for growth.
· How might this information and enhanced self-awareness inform you as a group leader? How might you use this experience to have a deepened self-compassion as well as compassion for members of a group?
