From what we learned in Chapter 1 in a minimum of 350 words describe and compare the value development positions of Massey, Kohlberg, Gilligan, and Piaget.
Perform an internet search to identify and research a situation where a health care organization or individual provider in your field of allied health was sanctioned by the accrediting body (e.g., The Joint Commission) and another regulatory body for violating one or more of the accrediting body’s workplace safety, risk management, and/or quality care requirements.
Taking on the role of chief safety or risk management officer in the organization or provider’s office who now must deliver an account of the chosen incident to the board of directors, develop a slide presentation containing a title slide, 10-15 slides of content, and a reference slide.
The Final Paper Assignment for this course is to write a six-page research paper that incorporates the terms and concepts from the course on the topic of Public Health.
You will notice that there is not a chapter in the book titled “Public Health.” As you conduct your own research on the topic of Public Health in the US, you will find that the topics that we have covered are intertwined with public health issues and initiatives.
Provide a brief history of Public Health over time.
Provide insight into how Health Care Systems interact with Public Health initiatives and public policy.
Identify current events in the areas of Public Health, and how current events (such as recent elections, legislation, public policy, or the economy) may impact Public Health initiatives.
Review the concept of evidence-based public health strategies (and provide examples).
Identify cultural and religious impacts on public health initiatives.
Be sure to investigate various segments of public health such as:
• Community wellness initiatives.
• Environmental risks.
• Public health education.
• The economics of public health initiatives.
• Governmental agencies such as the FDA, and their impact on public health, healthy food, and pharmaceutical approval.
• Demonstrate your understanding of the regulation and enforcement of healthcare law & policy through local, state, and federal agencies, their responsibilities; and how that affects the application of policies and standards of care at the provider level.
Your paper should have an introduction and a summary conclusion.
Demonstrate your knowledge of course content, public health, and make recommendations for improvement for the US health care system.
Your paper should be in APA format with in-text citations and a reference list.
The paper should be six pages in length not including the title page, reference list, or attachments.
The next phase of the development of a community health promotion project is to research, design, and present a prioritized list of viable intervention alternatives to a group of key decision makers so they have the necessary information to approve a plan to take the project to the next step. The designated project leader should hold an initial meeting to foster effective communication and lay out ground rules to avoid silo thinking. The goals to be accomplished in this meeting should include the following:
Educate the team in a systems-thinking approach, including definitions and identification of system elements.
Create guidelines for collaborative norms to establish trust among team members.
Identify the criteria needed to reach agreement.
Based on the final recommendation, create an agenda for the term of the project.
Your task in this assignment is to identify viable alternatives, provide criteria for the selection process, prioritize feasible solution interventions, and offer a “best of breed” recommendation that clearly meets the goals and outcomes of the project stakeholders.
Note: It may be helpful to assume that your audience is a planning group. You will need to incorporate what you learned about typical values and expectations of planning-group members into your development of selection and prioritization criteria.
Instructions
Part One
Create a 5–7 page Assessing Alternatives—Leader Guidelines document that could be used by you to lead a working meeting that accomplishes the following:
Demonstrates strategies to integrate the knowledge and skills of the stakeholders participating in the meeting.
Presents viable alternatives (supported by relevant sources) for consideration by the group.
Provides criteria (based on best practices from the literature) for the selection process.
Describes the consensus-building structure for arriving at feasible solution interventions.
In the closing section of your document, imagine that your group has arrived at a recommendation that clearly meets the goals and outcomes of the stakeholders in the project (the organizations and community members).
Provide a summary of the analysis and results based on the alternatives you presented.
Describe the implications and recommendations for next steps.
You will need to demonstrate how you would apply best practices in formulation, organization, and operation of a community health planning group and process.
Part Two
Create a brief (5–7 slides) PowerPoint slide deck to present your meeting agenda and guide the flow of your meeting. Remember: it is a visual aid, not an educational presentation.

Dataset Information:
You are a researcher examining the effect of different weight loss programs on change in weight after four months. You obtain a sample of 150 total patients, all similar ages, who are seeking to lose weight for health reasons with the approval and oversight of their primary care physician. These patients choose to participate in one of three programs, for a total of 50 patients in each program: 1. Diet alone 2. Exercise alone 3. Diet and exercise in combination After participating in their chosen program for four months, patients’ change in weight is measured in pounds. You would like to compare mean weight change between the three groups to determine the effect of type of weight loss program. Your dataset contains a unique identifier for each patient (“patient_ID”) along with a group assignment for each patient (“program”). The value for “program” is either “diet,” “exercise,” or “diet and exercise” depending on which program the patient participated in. Finally, there is a variable called “weight_change” which shows patients’ weight change after program participation, measured in pounds. This dataset is an Excel file entitled “Weight Dataset.xlsx” which can be found on Blackboard under Course Content > Module 11: ANOVA > Module 11 Assignment. You decide to compare mean weight change values across the three programs using one-way ANOVA with a significance level of α=0.05. This will help you to determine the effect of program on weight change. Your hypotheses are as follows: H0: 𝜇𝐷𝑖𝑒𝑡 𝑎𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑒 = 𝜇𝐸𝑥𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑒 = 𝜇𝐷𝑖𝑒𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑒𝑥𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑒 H1: At least one 𝑋̅ is different

1. Let us look at the top challenges to preventing facilities management issues in project management. When planning a healthcare facility or major renovation project it is important to identify the areas for ongoing management of the facility that can become problematic and try to solve those issues in the planning process. Cushman and Wakefield advice;
Healthcare facilities management is one of the most complex areas affecting Facilities Managers. Poor execution and lack of planning can result in poor and even dangerous treatment outcomes, up to and including loss of life. However, Facilities Managers who take the time to understand the top challenges in healthcare facilities management can help reduce risk and improve treatment outcomes.
Healthcare facilities management is filled with unique challenges. Facilities Managers must ensure their buildings are in tip-top shape while maintaining the safety and security of all documentation for patients and visitors alike. Failure to maintain proper protocols for managing protected health information (PHI) could result in the assessment of significant penalties and fines against a facility. In addition, healthcare Facilities Managers face the following primary challenges.
Facility emergency systems requirements are becoming more stringent.
Executives demand lower overhead costs.
Security is more important than ever.
Patient satisfaction and treatment outcomes determine reimbursement from insurers. (Cushman, et. al. 2018).
What are some of the planning considerations the architectural team will need to consider to prevent facility management issues in these areas?

2. EDAC: Evidence-Based Design Accreditation and Certification
Let us look closer at evidence-based design and why it is important the healthcare professionals to become certified and for health care facilities to become accredited. The Center for Health Design describe evidence-based design as:
2. Evidence-Based Design (EBD) is the process of basing decisions about the built environment on credible research to achieve the best possible outcomes.
A large and growing body of evidence attests to the fact that physical environment impacts patient stress, patient and staff safety, staff effectiveness and quality of care provided in hospitals and other healthcare settings. Basing healthcare facility planning and design decisions on this evidence to achieve the best possible patient, staff and operational outcomes is what evidence-based design is all about. (CHD, 2020).
What are some examples of evidence-based design in a health facility construction project?
