Competency

Evaluate various technologies, systems, and applications needed to achieve optimal clinical and business performance outcomes.

Scenario

A director within a large integrated health network has expressed interest for a mHealth solution for her community-based patient population. She wants to ensure this solution could integrate with other health systems in the network. Her team wants to collect blood pressure data for newly diagnosed hypertensive patients requiring daily monitoring. A mHealth solution could reduce resource costs for the number of face-to-face visits required by nurses and improve patient outcomes with continuous monitoring. As a new intern at this health network, investigate one mHealth solution that could meet the director’s needs. Use the module readings, lectures and your own research to select the solution and provide support for the analysis. The director requests your results in the form of a SWOT analysis with discussion on how it will achieve improved clinical and business performance outcomes.

Instructions

Create a SWOT Analysis that includes:

  • Description of a selected mHealth solution including why it was chosen for this patient population
  • SWOT Analysis Model that bullets the items to be included in the subsequent analysis and discussions
  • Discussion of the outcome analysis of the strengths and opportunities for having this type of clinical data collected from a patient in the community
  • Discussion of the outcomes analysis of the threats/weaknesses on integrating community-based data into large integrated health network systems (e.g., clinical, financial, administrative)
  • Reference page of resources utilized

Reflect on your nursing practice for a moment. If you could wipe out one illness, what would it be? How would that impact not just an individual patient, but your entire patient population? What would be the long-term benefits of eliminating that one illness?

The eradication of smallpox by 1979 provides an excellent example of this scenario. This eradication came about as a result of global collaborative efforts involving many countries and organizations, as well as the application of epidemiologic methods. In spite of high initial financial costs, it is estimated that millions of dollars continue to be saved around the world each year as a result of the eradication of this disease.

The eradication of smallpox illustrates the rich history of epidemiology and demonstrates the cost/benefits and implications of improving health at the population level. The application of epidemiologic methods and principles to other critical population health issues continues to play an essential role in improving health and health outcomes.

For this Discussion, you will identify a current population health problem, and you will examine how, and if, the problem is being addressed through the application of epidemiologic principles. You will also discuss the cost-effectiveness of dealing with the problem at the population level.

To prepare:

  • Review      the Learning Resources, focusing on the smallpox epidemic of the 1960s and      1970s and how health organizations applied principles of epidemiology to      eradicate this disease. (See attached file)
  • In      light of this example, consider the cost effectiveness of addressing      smallpox at the population level.
  • Using      the Learning Resources, research a current population health problem      (local or global). Select one on which to focus for this Discussion.
  • Think      about how principles of epidemiology are being applied—or could be      applied—to address the problem.
  • What      lessons from the use of epidemiology in the eradication of smallpox might      be applicable to this selected problem? What are the financial benefits of      addressing this issue at the population level as opposed to the individual      level?

By tomorrow Wednesday 02/28/18 by 12pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with a minimum of THREE scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headers as numbered below:

Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

1) Briefly summarize your selected population health problem and describe how principles of epidemiology are being applied—or could be applied—to address the problem.

2) Are there any lessons learned from the use of epidemiology in the eradication of smallpox that can be applied to your selected problem?

3) Evaluate the cost effectiveness of addressing this health problem at the population level versus the individual level.

determinants, and policies.

Chapter 2, “The Spectrum of Care”

In Chapter 2, the authors examine the purposes of the population health approach. Two key themes are introduced in this chapter: 1) population health as it relates to the challenges of quality and cost in health care, and 2) population health as an approach to not only reducing the burden of chronic illness but also to promoting wellness and increasing prevention.

Chapter 8, “Behavioral Economics”

In Chapter 8, the authors examine effect of social and cognitive function on an individual’s economic decisions. Reinforced by legislation, behavioral economics can be applied in population health to influence and change health outcomes. Compelling examples of incremental improvements (e.g., corporate wellness programs) are provided throughout the chapter.

Instructions

Write a 1,200-word paper about how Individualism/Collectivism and Power Distance affect you relating with people in another culture of your choice. Discuss how the cultural differences affect communication, motivation, and teamwork. Use the culture that you chose to study throughout the course. In addition to Hofstede et al. (2010), use the Bible, and cite at least two other sources that support your discussion from the SEU library Cross Cultural Leadership Lib Guide. Many of these are e-books if you are not local. Include a short introduction and conclusion to the paper and a reference page. I highly recommend the country specific Culture Smart books. Use APA citations. See grading rubric.

  • Use the Hofstede Insights website software to compare the United States to another culture in all six dimensions. Graph the cultural dimensions using the software. Use a screen shot and post the picture to your document.
  • The culture should be a country that you plan to study throughout the course. Choose a culture that you have interest. It could be a place where you have visited, lived, or worked. It could be from your cultural heritage. Or it could be a place you plan or want to go to in the future. You will use this same country in all your papers. Make sure the country is one that Hofstede covers. If not, see me about some possible alternatives.
  • Describe the differences or similarities between the United States and your chosen country for the IDV and PDI dimensions. Are your chosen country and the US high, low, or near the middle? I like to think of them in quintiles: very high, moderately high, middle, moderately low, and very low.
  • Using the tables in the Hofstede et al. (2010) chapters, find six specific things that might affect communication, motivation, and teamwork. One item for each area per cultural dimension. How would you promote the similarities or mitigate the differences?
  • Make your report professional looking!
