NDNQI Injury Falls

For this assignment, refer to the article Reliability and Validity of the NDNQI Injury Falls Measure by Garrard et al. NDNQI fall measures provide a proper method for reporting injury falls, which could be useful for hospitals in comparing their data with reliable national comparison data to develop fall prevention plans.
Based on information presented in Table 1 (Garrard et al., pp. 116-117), an example of data tables that can be created is as follows:

Patient Table
PatientlD  LastName  FirstName  FallCode

001            Smith           Jane           2

002            Doe               John          2

003           Johnson        Mike         1

 

Fall Table
FallCode     Description

1                 None

2                Minor

3               Moderate

4                Major

5                Death

 

After reviewing this information, answer the following questions in a Word document:

  • What is NDNQI and how was it used in the study by Garrard et al.? Refer to the Module 6 Readings. A short paragraph is expected.
  • What is the primary key for the Patient Table?
  • What is the foreign key for the Patient Table?
  • What is the primary key for the Fall Table?
  • Assume that each fall code can be used for multiple patients and each patient can receive only one fall code. What kind of relationship exists between the Fall Table and Patient Table?

Identify all keys in each data table (i.e., primary key, alternate key, secondary key, and foreign key) when applicable. List DBDL for each of your tables using the format described in the “Database Design Language (DBDL)” section (p. 181) in Chapter 6 of Concepts of Database Management.

Database Design Language (DBDL).

In the design process, there must be a mechanism to represent tables and keys. The shorthand notation that you have used so far represents tables and primary keys but it does not represent other related keys. An approach to represent tables and keys including primary, alternate, secondary, and foreign keys is Database Design Language (DBDL).
In Module Four, you selected a topic for your Final Project and began designing your database. As of now, the tables should be normalized and not contain update anomalies. Depending on the business model or assumption, check what type of relationships the tables have. If one-to-one, treat it as one-to-many. If one-to-many, no need to change anything. If many-to-many, create a new table to handle the many-to-many relationship.

In this assignment, you will present your tables using database design language (DBDL). On a Word document:
Identify all keys in each data table (i.e., primary key, alternate key, secondary key, and foreign key) when applicable.
List DBDL for each of your tables using the format described in the “Database Design Language (DBDL)” section (p. 181) in Chapter 6 of Concepts of Database Management. For an example, review Figure 6-1.

Evaluate and explain some of the social-cultural issues that might present potential problems as this plays out across the country. What implications associated with the ACA might lead to a paradigm shift in the ways in which we view access to health care?

Overinsured, Underinsured, and Uninsured

Presently, the United States is a fragmented system that offers a misdistribution of “haves” and “have nots” which impact the cost of delivering health care. The United States is currently a nation of overinsured, underinsured, and uninsured people. In light of the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), how do you see these issues being corrected so that a majority of the population has access to quality health care? communicate the relevant aspects of the ACA that will impact these issues. Analyze and describe how the role of public policy will affect changes in this distribution.

Evaluate and explain some of the social-cultural issues that might present potential problems as this plays out across the country. What implications associated with the ACA might lead to a paradigm shift in the ways in which we view access to health care?

Topic 4 DQ 2

Besides being able to locate scholarly sources of information, graduate students are expected to become information literate, which includes being able to evaluate information to determine if it is actually useful and valid for their research projects and if it is trustworthy and accurate. Generally, sources of information are evaluated on their purpose, timeliness, authority, reliability, and coverage. For example, it is understood that a source whose purpose is to sell something is more likely to either exaggerate or de-emphasize certain information to enhance its persuasive appeal. Sources that focus on a very narrow aspect of an issue may not be useful for supporting broader generalizations. Sources that refuse to acknowledge competing viewpoints can be quite biased.

Letter to Senator Tim Kaine about Abortion Rights in the United States

1. As we have learned, policy is one of the pillars of population health. Therefore, for this extra credit assignment, you will advocate a policy-maker to enact a specific policy you are interested in (Abortion rights for women in the US).
2. Write a letter to a local, state, or federal representative (i.e., a senator – Tim Kaine or Mark Warner representative, your mayor, the president) advocating for a health-related policy or program.
a. Be sure that the policy you are advocating the person for is something s/he has the ability to influence (i.e., if it is a federal law, you would want to write to a federal representative; if it is a local policy, you would want to write to a local representative).
b. Provide strong justification for why this policy is essential and what you want the policy-maker to do.
c. Your letter should be thoughtful, persuasive, and based on convincing evidence from reputable and scholarly sources.
3. Writ a formal letter.
