What are the arguments on both sides of the debate, whether medical, religious, or public health? What would be the best solution?

/in /by

For as long as there have been doctors, there have been debates about the most appropriate ways to treat disease. Doctors and patients always struggle to evaluate the expected risks and benefits of different remedies. The debates have often been most vigorous with epidemic diseases because the decisions affect not just individual patients, but also everyone that the patients encounter.
The debates about inoculation for smallpox in the 18th century was especially interesting, because of both the danger of smallpox and the danger of the technique (deliberate infection with smallpox). The debates became even more complex after the epidemics receded.
The year is 1796. Cambridge and Boston have been free of smallpox for twenty years. Everyone knows, however, that it is just a matter of time before smallpox appears again. Your brother has two children, both born after the epidemic. He knows that they will be susceptible whenever the next outbreak occurs and wants to find some way to protect them. Inspired by stories your grandfather used to tell about the inoculation debates in the 1720s, he pulls a copy of Domestic Medicine off the shelf and reads about inoculation. He decides to try the technique and contacts a local doctor, Benjamin Waterhouse.
Dr. Waterhouse says that he would be willing to provide the procedure, but worried about provoking another controversy. “It’s one thing to inoculate in the midst of an epidemic, when the risk is real and present. We could spread the disease to others.”
Your brother asks you for advice. Is it appropriate to use inoculation to protect his children against future outbreaks of smallpox, even though there is not an active outbreak right now? Based on what you have learned, how would you answer? What are the arguments on both sides of the debate, whether medical, religious, or public health? What would be the best solution?
You hope to publish your advice in a local paper, so keep your discussion brief (between 150-200 words).
Debates about immunization continue vigorously today, so there are clearly good arguments on both sides.

Explore how quality improvement programs could be systematically used in public health systems and explain the goals, values, and vision that should be considered in implementing such programs.

/in /by

As demands on the U.S. public health system continue to increase, more quality improvement strategies are needed to support the system and improve outcomes. Public health agencies, like leaders in other industries, are developing quality improvement approaches for application in public health settings. Bringing together local, state, and national healthcare practitioners and other stakeholders in quality improvement and quality assurance efforts has yielded several best practices and lessons for public health stakeholders. However, more work is needed if quality improvement is to become standard practice in public health.
Instructions
In this Assessment, you will read the article “Quality Improvement in Public Health: Lessons Learned from a Multi-State Learning Collaborative.” You will list the major concepts within the article and explain the positive outcomes in the two case studies. Further, you will explore how quality improvement programs could be systematically used in public health systems and explain the goals, values, and vision that should be considered in implementing such programs. You will also consider the future, after such programs have been created and findings have been determined. How would you ensure that the findings are implemented and followed in public health and public health policy in the future? How would future quality improvement development programs take place on a national or local stage? .How would a stakeholder be affected?
Be sure to:
List the major concepts within the article and explain the positive outcomes in the two case studies.
Explore how quality improvement programs could be systematically used in public health systems and explain the goals, values, and vision that should be considered in implementing such programs.

Please briefly describe at least two challenges that are either inherent to this problem or that may occur when trying to resolve this problem.

/in /by

Part 1. Please list 5 things (~two sentences each) that you learned or found interesting in this module as well as why you found each item useful or interesting (e.g., I learned more about X. This was helpful to learn more about because Y.). Please try to be specific.

Part 2. Problem Based Learning Exercise:

Problem for this Week/Module: A large hospital system in Georgia, due to state law, must report instances of certain disease (e.g., Botulism, Cholera, COVID-19, Hep C, etc.)  to the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) (https://dph.georgia.gov/epidemiology/disease-reporting). Right now, the options for reporting are: Use the SENDSS system which requires retyping the case information into a web form and submitting, call DPH, or fax a notifiable disease form to DPH. Let’s say, however, that DPH is moving away from requiring manual data reentry into a web form (SENDSS), calling, or faxing, and wants to move to a type of system called Electronic Case Reporting (eCR). Given what you have learned in this module, what do you think the large hospital system and the DPH will need to do in order to enable successful and automatic transfers of case reports for notifiable diseases from the hospital system to DPH via eCR?

Analysis: Please briefly describe at least two challenges that are either inherent to this problem or that may occur when trying to resolve this problem.

  1. Challenge #1: …
  2. Challenge #2: …

Brainstorming: Please describe two different ways in which the problem above could be addressed. Please also briefly describe the possible pros (benefits) and cons (risks) of each idea if it were to be implemented.

  1. Idea #1: …
    1. Possible Benefits: …
    2. Possible Risks: …
  2. Idea #2: …
    1. Possible Benefits: …
    2. Possible Risks: …

Recommendation: Given the brainstorming above, which one of the two ideas would you recommend for resolving this problem and why? Please also describe how you would address risks with implementing or moving forward with your recommended idea.

 

Discuss alternate models and debate why or why not the model is the most relevant in the American Care Delivery System.

/in /by

Peer Response B (4 sentences each)

Reply to at least two different classmates’ posts that discuss alternate models and debate why or why not the model is the most relevant in the American Care Delivery System. For example:  If you chose the “WHO” model for your initial post, you should respond to classmates who selected the two alternate models (one response post per alternate model) and explain how each model differs from the “WHO” model.

References are only required in your initial post. References are not required in your responses to other students. Link to course text: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ex1RzJd2L3IUNOHmDsvMgS4hvugEa-vv/view?usp=sharing

Initial question (DO NOT ANSWER):

There are three Contemporary Models of Health Determinants.  They are:

  • Dahlgren and Whitehead model (was the one chosen)
  • Ansari and Colleagues model
  • WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health Conceptual Framework

In your discussion:

  1. Choose one model and explain:
    • the type of model
    • why the model is or is not the most relevant model of care delivery in the American Care Delivery System
    • how the model addresses the issue of social justice

Response 1:

Ansari and Colleagues Model

Ansari and Colleagues introduced a public health model in 2003 based on three social areas. It includes the social environment, social identity, and social position. So, based on where you live, the groups identified with, or one’s social-economic class, this model could cause an unequal distribution of goods and services.

This model states that certain determinates decide the conditions of our health. They are biological, basic needs, exposure to hazards, behaviors, access to healthcare, and psycho-social conditions. In other words, this model in America exposes the inequity of healthcare to those who lack access to nutritious foods, healthcare, stay in poor living conditions, drink or smoke, have poor mental health are at risk of poor health and disease.

Response 2:

WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health Conceptual Framework

Until recently, health determinants were lifestyle, genetics, and behavior. Environmental, and physical influences, previous medical care and social factors were not considered when examining an individual’s health. This changed when, “the Commission on Social Determinants of Health was set up by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2005 to marshal the evidence on what can be done to promote health equity” (CHSD, 2008). According to the CDC  “(social determinants of health) encompasses economic and social conditions that influence the health of people and communities” (NCHHSTP Social Determinants of Health, 2019). Before, these factors were emphasized in the healthcare system the health gap between generations and economic status were considerably large and growing.

The American health system came to utilize the evidence and policies to improve the access and quality of overall healthcare. The article Beyond Healthcare describes an “emerging efforts to address non-medical, social determinants of health within the context of the health care delivery system. These include multi-payer federal and state initiatives, Medicaid initiatives led by states or by health plans, as well as provider-level activities focused on identifying and addressing the non-medical, social needs of their patients” (Hinton, 2018).

Considering social injustice and it’s direct impact on health, the World Health Organization emphasizes “Social justice is a matter of life and death. It affects the way people live, their consequent chance of illness, and their risk of premature death. We watch in wonder as life expectancy and good health continue to increase in parts of the world and in alarm as they fail to improve in others” (CHSD, 2008). It is the reason healthcare can no longer be looked at from a lifestyle and genetic perspective but as community health perspective.
