Review the chart on page 83 in your Darby & Walsh textbook for some ideas. Once you decide on the issue, please complete the chart below including the steps and details below.

  • Copy and paste the “Risk Identification” chart below to a new word document and save to your computer.
  • Complete each box in detail (they will expand). Explain “why” you decided your response (each section should have a minimum of four complete sentences).
  • Submit the chart (as a word document) to the designated dropbox by Sunday, midnight.

Racism on Covid 19 Health Implications Research Paper

/in /by

 

RESEARCH TOPIC: What role racism plays in Covid-19 health outcomes and death rates among persons of color, particularly African Americans.

QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE ANSWERED IN THE BODY OF THE PAPER: 1.) What is the mortality rate of African Americans in a hospital in comparison to other races due to the Covid-19 or related illnesses? 2.) What role does socioeconomic status play in access to suitable healthcare? 3.) What percentage of African Americans have adequate health insurance?

DIRECTIONS:

Provide one paragraph summary for each of the four most useful articles you find. Remember, begin with the abstract; if the abstract seems interesting and in line with your research interest, then you need to thoroughly scan the article or perhaps read it in its entirety, taking notes as appropriate.

Keep in mind that it makes the most sense to review the most recent research available. i would not recommend spending a lot of time on something that is thirty years old, for example; recent research is likely to be of greater utility.

Also keep in mind that your summaries are to be in your own words. Do not simply copy from the abstract or article. Make sure to provide citations so that I can easily access the article or data if I choose to. NOTE: Do not simply provide links to articles; rather, provide citations that include the names of authors, the title of the article, the journal title, the date of publication, and the pages on which the article appears. To be clear, you will cite articles in the body of your research paper AND you are to include complete citations on your Works Cited pages at the end of the research paper.

Change in Organization Discussion

/in /by

 2 pages

As health care manager, your facility will soon be implementing an electronic health record (EHR). Some employees feel that they are not technologically gifted. Some employees feel the computer will soon cause them to be laid off. Employees are discussing this implementation and passing rumors about whether the implementation will actually improve the medical record. Discuss the following in your paper:

  • How does change impact motivation of employees?
  • Discuss how you would communicate with these employees and what you will tell them about the EHR implementation.
  • Discuss how employers will explain about the training that will be offered to all employees and how employee job skills will change with the implementation.

Abia State Polytechnic Statistical Variance Measures Discussion

/in /by

In previous units we have looked at the frequency distribution and measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode). If we rely only on these tools to describe data, what important component are we missing? What is an example of this missing component? How can you apply to health science?

Mean, median, and mode all represent measures of central tendency. They represent the center point of a dataset. Basically, the central tendency only measures one characteristic of a distribution, however, the important component that is missing is variance. Statistical variance measures how the data “distributes itself about the mean or expected value” (Kalla & Wilson, 2019). The central tendency for 2 different data sets could be 100, but one dataset could have a range of 75 to 125, while the second data set could have a range of 50 to 150. Both have the same central tendency of 100, but the variance around the center is much wider in set 2. In health science, someone going in for medical treatment would look to variance in health outcomes. For example, someone having back surgery can choose between laparoscopic or standard surgery. The patient and doctor might look to the variance of outcomes given what procedure to utilize. The patient should choose the option that has the best outcome along with the lowest variance of potential negative effects. Overall, just looking at the center of any data set, doesn’t give the entire picture and variance and standard deviation are usually required.

If you rely simply on one of these components, you will not fully comprehend the data and how it can be used in your research. For example, if a set of data is collected and one only uses the mode, then we do not know what the average, or mean for that set is. The same thing goes for if you do not calculate the median. These 3 components are needed if you are going to calculate things such as IQR, lower fence, upper fence and more. For example, let us just say that you need a rotator cuff repair. Your physician’s secretary tells you that most rotator cuff repairs cost $30,000. That does not mean your case specifically will cost the same amount. That is just the mode. If she tells you that the mid price range for it is $22,000 that does not help your case either. Breaking down the numbers and understanding why they fluctuate and where the changes happen, which we tend to see in some form of a graph, will make the audience understand and relate to the information better. Using only one of these will also miss if their is an outlier in the spread of data.
