Week 3 Paper Assignment – (30 Points) VIDEO TRANSCRIPT BELOW
There is ONE paper assignment for this course that is due in Week 3. It is worth 30 points maximum and has a suggested minimum 2500-word limit, including quotations, excluding abstract and references. Students complete this assignment by doing the following:
• View the following lecture by the public health researcher, Richard Wilkinson: Lecture by Richard Wilkinson. (A transcript for this talk is available.)

Suppose you could add content to his lecture on these two kinds of inequalities. Present three major concepts or ideas from the readings in this course and explain how you would use these three concepts to augment Wilkinson’s lecture about (a) racial and ethnic inequalities in access to healthcare and (b) health status inequalities suffered by people with mental illnesses.
• Reasons/evidence and arguments should support (justify) all positions or statements. Generalizations and assertions without justification (e.g., reasons, evidence, or argument) are discouraged and will negatively affect grades.

407.3 Translate clinical outcome data into graphical representations

After collecting the data, the next step in data analysis is to take data and translate it into actionable information. One way to do this is to create a data visualization to present the data in an easy to understand form.

Instructions:

Follow the directions below for gathering, analyzing, visualizing and summarizing the data to be presented to the Executive Management team of a hospital in the form of an Executive Summary. You will submit both an excel sheet with the visualizations, and a Word Doc with the Steps 1-4 to create your Executive Summary. Together, the visualizations and Executive Summary should inform Executive Management about factors that contribute to opioid data.

Steps to Create an Executive Summary:

Step 1: Gather Data

  1. Download Prescriber Level Opioid Rates Years: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 (download as CSV for Excel)
  2. Download Opioid Map Data: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 (download as CSV for Excel)
  3. This section should include where you obtained the data and the details about the data sources you are using.

Step 2: Analyze Data

  1. Identify 3 providers from 3 different states with data in at least 2 years in the two data sets listed above.
  2. Import the data into a new Excel Sheet.
  3. Name the new file: Student Name_407.3_yyyymmdd
  4. Students will create data visualizations from this new data set

Step 3: Create Data Visualizations

Use the Excel tutorials in your resources to guide you through the process of developing the following visualizations:

  1. Create a bar graph with data for all three providers showing:
    1. Prescribing trends year over year (2013-2016) for each provider.
    2. Turn in the data table and the visualization.
  2. For the reporting year 2016 in the Opioid Map Data:
    1. Create a pie chart showing what part of Part D Prescribers are Part D Opioid Prescribers across all states.
    2. Using the providers identified in Step 2.1. and using the 2016 County file in the Opioid Map Data and the 2016 Prescriber Level Opioid Rate files create a pie chart showing the percentage each provider contributed to the overall opioid prescriptions in their county. Students will need to examine and draw from various data files to tie providers to counties.
  3. Export the visualizations so that you can incorporate them into the Word Doc described in Step 4.

Step 4: Report Findings and Recommendation to Executive Management

  1. What would your recommendation to management be based on what you found in the data? Drawing from the data manipulations and data visualizations created in Steps 1-3, create an Executive Summary in a Word Doc. Insert your visualizations where needed to support your recommendation, and tailor the summary for Executive Management using the providers and location data as a benchmark.

Submit the Word Doc containing the Executive Summary, Recommendation and Visualizations.

Evaluate potential benefits and challenges for people in your selected countries based on the health system characteristics you have identified.

/in /by

How does the U.S. health care delivery system compare with other countries’ health care delivery systems? What is the relationship of a country’s economic resources to health outcomes? How does the funding of services influence access to care? How does government involvement in health care delivery inform the patient/consumer experience?
For this Discussion and the Assignment, select two countries to compare with the United States in terms of health care (i.e., compare the same countries in both the Discussion and Assignment). One country must be a developed country, and the other must be considered a developing (low- or middle-income) country: as much as possible, select countries that are of similar size.
To identify the development level of countries, use the following
resources found in this module’s Learning Resources:
• The International Statistical InstituteU.S. : Developing Countries
• World Bank: Country and Lending Groups
Next, review the information in the Learning Resources related to health system characteristics, particularly Chapter 1 in the Shi and Singh textbook.
Research the characteristics of the U.S. health care delivery system and the systems of your selected countries using the Walden Library and credible websites, such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) site, found in this module’s Learning Resources.
Consider the following questions as you research each country:
• How is the health system organized? Is there a central governing agency?
• How does an individual gain access to needed services, including specialized care?
• How are health care services paid for? For example, does the country have a national health system with tax-funded coverage, a health insurance system with a single payer, a health insurance system with multiple insurers, or something else?
• What benefits do people in this country experience because of the health system’s characteristics? For instance, are people guaranteed access to health care services? Do patients receive well-coordinated care because their health information is readily available to providers through an integrated technology system? Do they have a great deal of choice when selecting physicians?
• What challenges do people in this country encounter? For instance, is there typically a long wait to see a specialist? Do patients encounter adverse effects because medical supplies are not readily available? Are health care services prohibitively expensive for most people?
***PLEASE READ CAREFULLY INSTRUCTIONS BELOW ****
By Day 3 of Week 9
Post a substantive and cohesive response to the following:
• Analyze two or more defining characteristics of the U.S. health care system. UNITED STATES/////CHINA///////CAMBODIA
•
• Explain how these characteristics compare to the characteristics of the health care systems of your selected countries. (Be sure to identify the countries in your posting.)
• Evaluate potential benefits and challenges for people in your selected countries based on the health system characteristics you have identified.

You can create this tool in Word as a poster with clip art, etc. (watch copyright information), or as a brochure or submit it in PowerPoint form. Your grade will be based upon how effective your tool is at addressing the target audience, how well you catch their attention, the quality of the information you provide them, and the overall look of the tool. Be sure to address customer perception.
Part 2: Create a professional letter to the board explaining your marketing ideas and how you plan to reach the target market of the business through your brochure or poster and what you plan to include in it. The letter should include information that is important for the board to know about the marketing tool, your analysis and conclusions about the potential impact of the marketing tool, anticipated reactions of the potential customers, and suggestions on what board members could do to help.
