Shifting Toward Population Health

Healthcare administrators direct and coordinate medical services in facilities such as hospitals, public health agencies, and managed care organizations. In order to accomplish this directive, healthcare administrators need to be current on mandates, health initiatives, and population health programs. This requires the exploration of a variety of resources on health initiatives and public health programs.

The term population health was introduced in 2003 by Dave Kindig and Greg Stoddart who defined the term as “the health outcome of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2018, para. 1). Nash, Fabius, Skoufalos, Clarke, and Horowitz (2016) argue that the only way to improve the total health of the United States is to shift our focus from healthcare that is reactive to healthcare that proactive and promotes health and wellness. We spend a lot of time treating and focusing on a patient’s disease/illness and spend little time focusing on the conditions that contribute to the disease/illness. For that reason, it is important to understand social determinants of health (SDOH) and how they factor into the comprehensive picture of population health (Zangerle, 2016).

Post a single 3- or 4-paragraph response that addresses the following prompts (your Instructor will notify you of the due date):

Choose a federal or state initiative that focuses on population health – choose a topic that interests you
Explain how that initiative shifts the focus from the individual person to population health
Evaluate the importance of shifting from individual health to population health
Consider discussing how you, as an administrator, could collaborate with other healthcare disciplines to ensure the success of the initiative you selected
Explain why understanding and incorporating a focus on social determinants of health is vital to affecting population health.

What are the strengths and/or limitations of their treatment of the roles of human fathers?

The Writer’s Creative Process

Paragraph 3 that starts with “Grisham’s writing technique”
Comment from professor:
This paragraph seems to only contain summary — make sure to focus on analysis throughout the essay. What do you think about this part of his process? Would it be helpful to you? Does it link to any of the readings in the course?

Paragraph 4 that starts with “Grisham’s creative process”
Comment from professor:
Same here — focus a little more on analysis than on the summary.

Paragraph 6 that starts with “Grisham’s process highlights”
Comment from professor:
The paragraphs on this page are excellent! Consider incorporating your analysis throughout the paragraphs on the last page, rather than separating them into summary paragraphs and analysis paragraphs.

The areas that need revision are on papers one, two, and three if this description is confusing.

Overall, my professor says “Samantha, you have a great start on this analysis! You chose a creator and have learned more about his creative process, you analyze that process, and you also incorporate the readings from the course. You might consider changing the organization a bit and perhaps making a connection to your own creative/writing process.”
