Assignment #1
Which five (5) of the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) Capabilities would best apply to the scenario?
In this assessment, you will have an opportunity to practice a wide variety of executive level skills by conducting a PowerPoint presentation on your selected health care problem. You will demonstrate a flow of logic and analysis by following an outline template that can be used for your slide presentation. The goal of the presentation is to state the problem, to apply an appropriate tool for analysis, to offer insights and evidence-based recommendations.
Your imaginary audience is comprised of a diverse senior leadership team at your selected organization. The team represents a variety of ages, cultures, and perspectives. Your goal is to communicate in a concise, professional, and culturally competent manner while persuading the senior leadership team to implement your evidence-based recommendations. Consider that two of the senior leadership team members may be evaluating you as a high potential candidate for a promotion. Good luck! It is now time to construct your presentation.
Create a recorded PowerPoint presentation of 8–12 pre-formatted slides with webcam on, designed for interdepartmental and leadership team viewing. The presentation should be 3–5 minutes maximum, ideally using Kaltura (or other accessible technology).
Be sure to include the raw data from your visual data summary in a readable format in a Word document or spreadsheet with appropriate categories, titles, and labels.
Communication: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, respectful, and consistent with expectations for professional practice in health care administration. Original work and critical thinking are required regarding your assessment and scholarly writing. Your writing must be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
Media presentation: Minimum of 8–12 slides, not to exceed 5 minutes, with speaker’s notes or a transcript to ensure accessibility to everyone. Upload the presentation.
Resources: At least three scholarly resources other than the course text or assigned journal articles. Include citations at the end of the presentation.
APA guidelines: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and format. When appropriate, use APA-formatted headings.
Font and font size: Appropriate size and weight for presentation, generally 24–28 points for headings and no smaller than 18 points for bullet-point text. For PowerPoint tips, refer to the PowerPoint library guide linked in the Resources area.
The paper is about healthcare worker shortages the details are below
Application of a tool for problem analysis that is accompanied by a minimum of two visual data displays, a short summary of observations, and evidence-based recommendations. This will vary significantly depending on your project; however, a few examples include:
Cost Benefit Analysis: Excel spreadsheet, converted into 2–3 graphs.
Compliance Assessment: 3 major Criteria converted into 3 separate pie charts
Lean Analysis: The percent of variance by major factor converted into 2–3 trend lines.
In addition to the above:
1. Identify the model or tool for analysis of the selected problem, and provide rationale.
2. Analyze and compare data relative to internal and external benchmarks.
3. Construct evidence-based recommendations that include ethical, legal, regulatory and organizational standards.
4. Include the raw data in a readable format in a Word document or spreadsheet with appropriate categories, titles, and labels.
Describe how research and best-practices contribute to the implementation of EBM. Using a real or hypothetical healthcare organization, provide examples of when EBM may be successfully adopted in your organization or critique the organization for the lack of EBM being exhibited.
Provide a minimum of 2 supporting research articles cited in the body of your paper. DO NOT use a website, blog or magazine article. Make sure the articles are from a scholarly journal.
Readings for the week are attached that might help with the assignment.
What trends or threats are or will impact the financial environment of healthcare organizations?
These may include legislative changes, lack of primary care providers, or changing demographics.
How can we best prepare for the impending trends if they are continuously changing?
Identify the pertinent changes that you might experience. What plan would you propose to address the changes?
In the examples given in Chapter 23, there is not much monetary difference between owning versus leasing. In these circumstances, which method would you recommend and why?
Describe the MIPS and APM models and their significance for pay-for-performance.
Designing an intervention can be challenging, as it is important to gather information about the selected topic and community of interest. Selecting a research topic is critical, especially when there are so many topics that seem important to study. A community needs assessment is a great way to begin creating an intervention, by first understanding the health problems within a community that need the most assistance.
For this assignment, you will perform a community needs assessment, demonstrating your understanding of the scope and magnitude of health problems within a community, and develop a fact sheet that could be used to share your needs assessment findings with community members.
Instructions
Complete this assignment in two parts.
Select a public health problem or condition from a community of interest that is supported by data.
Apply evidence-based data to highlight the severity of an identified epidemiological issue in the community.
Analyze the risk factors based on the results of a needs assessment and other supporting data.
What are the risk factors for the selected problem?
Are these risk factors modifiable with behavior change?
What can community members do to prevent this problem?
Use the Needs Assessment Template, linked in the resources. Your needs assessment should be 3–5 pages in length.
Describe your selected population, and provide the relevant demographic data.
List three public health problems identified from the needs assessment.
Select the problem or condition you will be addressing, based on the data presented.
Identify who bears the burden of the selected problem or condition.
Identify five risk factors associated with the selected problem or condition.
Discuss disease trends of the past five years.
Needs Assessment Requirements
The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Topic for Epidemiological Research Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
Apply evidence-based data to highlight the severity of an identified epidemiological issue in the community.
Identify the risk factors associated with the community health problem or condition, based on the results of your needs assessment and other supporting data.
Communicate public health information in a way that encourages behavior change to help improve the health and well-being of a targeted population group.
In this instance, imagine that you will be communicating with community members in hopes that they would be willing to take action related to the issue identified.
Select a target audience and develop a public health fact sheet, with which to share your findings. Design your fact sheet in a manner that encourages behavior change at some level from members of your targeted community.
What population is affected?
What is the age, gender, race, socioeconomic status, et cetera of the target population?
What percent of the U.S. population is affected?
What are the risk factors associated with this problem?
What can people do to prevent this problem? Are there resources to address it?
Instructions
Download the Excel data file (Links to an external site.) that we’ll use for this assignment.
