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

The Originality report does not actually recommend changes. It does point out where you may need to add a citation or quotation marks (if not already cited). Once you use it a few times, you will appreciate this tool, as it will assist you in improving quality and content, as well as avoid plagiarism. Your goal is to keep direct quotations to a minimum and to make sure that you do not just cut and paste material. Ensure that all your references are cited. A report with a similarity index less than 25% is acceptable for undergraduate level work.

Your paper will be evaluated according to the Writing Assignment Grading shown below. To maximize your grade, be sure to use the proper organization (intro, body, conclusion) and follow APA style.

Discuss how you perceive the validity between your theoretical term and the concrete questions that are asked in the question form. Discuss if the analysis has answered the research questions.

/in /by

Qualitative and quantitative methods

Specification of contents and design
Length and disposition of the tasks
• Two separate tasks, one quantitative method and one qualitative method.
• Both tasks should be maximum 10 pages, EXCLUDING attachments (look at the bottom for specification of attachments)
• Write a separate introduction for each of the tasks, and since both tasks have the same topic you need to describe the common topic in both introductions.

Common for both tasks (quantitative and qualitative)
• Choose topic and design the thesis statement with basis in the chosen topic. The same topic should be explored both quantitative and qualitative, but it does not need to be the exact same thesis statement/research questions. It would be natural for a qualitative project to focus on other aspects than a quantitative project.
• The project need to be designed to be completed independently.

The quantitative task
• Choose one of the topics that are highlighted I “Levekårsundersøkelsen for Nordland 2014”, it is this dataset that will be used for the analysis. There are many topics to choose from : Political activity, worklife, leisure activities, social network/family, local society, well-being etc. Concretize the topic to a researchable thesis and formulate some concrete research questions that can either be formulated as questions or as assertions.
• The thesis statement/research questions does not need to reflect a regional issue, even though the dataset is from Nordland County.
• Choose variables you want to use in the analysis. Pick one or two effect variables, and some explanatory variables you can use to analyze variation in the effect variables. Think through what explanatory variables that can help with explaining. F.ex. is it reasonable to expect a difference between sex, age or rich-poor?
• Boxmodel or two that shows how you think the coherence between the variables are.
• Try to choose variables on different levels, so you show different statistical analysis.
• Discuss how you perceive the validity between your theoretical term (f.ex. social network or political activity) and the concrete questions that are asked in the question form.
• Carry out the statistical analysis and present the results in text and tables. Use both uni-variate, bi-variate and multivariate analysis (multivariate through multivariate crosstables or multivariate regression). Execute significance tests of the analysis. Present and interpret these tests. Only use the most important from the tables in the text, and put the ones that aren’t interpreted in text, as attachments (as long as they support the analysis, f.ex. if you have checked for something, but did not find any)
• Discuss if the analysis has answered the research questions (validity)
• USE METHOD CURRICULUM ACTIVELY when discussing choices made.

The qualitative task
• Formulate a limited thesis statement with base in the same topic as for the quantitative task
• Make an interview guide
• Create information writing in coherence with the demands for information in the personal data act.
• Recruit participants (2 people, no names)
• Datacollection (Interview)
• Transcribe the interviews
• Present the findings (show how you have coded, categorized and analyzed the material)
• Discuss if and how your findings from your study and the analysis of these can contribute to answer the thesis statement.
• Discuss the different choices you have made, from the working on the thesis statement, the design of the interview guide, carrying out the interviews and analysis. Also include discussions of what you eventually would have done different if you were to do it again.
• Use method curriculum in the discussion
Attachments that are required
The quantitive task
• Tables/analysis that you don’t wish to use directly in the text
The qualitative task
• Information writing
• Interview guide
• Section (2 pages) of coding schematics with transcribed text from the interviews and coding

[Revision] Water Scarcity Refugees

1) The following comments still need to be addressed: “The customer clarified that secondary data is needed and it should be mostly quantitative, yet quantitative methods aren’t properly outlined.

2) The discussion has to be longer than the results.”- Restructure the results accordingly; quantitative and qualitative data should be outlined separated. Start the discussion afresh as it’s based on the wrong sources- all of them are introduced in the paper for the first time (this is the case for the works by Zhang, Xu and Kanyerere, 2020; Joel et al. (2016); Ajjur and Baalousha, 2021; Dillon and Arshad, 2016 etc.), while we specifically asked you to only compare the obtained results to the LR findings.
