The collection of data can be the deciding factor as to whether research is considered valid or not. In this Discussion, you will consider the different ways that data can be collected. You will also determine the best way to analyze data that will answer your research question.

marketing techniques

For the past few weeks, we have identified marketing techniques, personal branding and created a SWOT Analysis. Now it’s time to use all of these concepts in a “real world” scenario.

Please develop a marketing plan for a healthcare facility that was recently cited by the OIG (Office of Inspector General), or has been investigated by a journalist (eg., newspaper article, journal). The marketing plan must include a cover page, reference page and must be completed using Microsoft PowerPoint.

Please answer the following items in your marketing plan:

  1. Organizational Summary – Explain why the company is in trouble
  2. Analysis of the External Environment – (Public perception, economy)
  3. Threats and Opportunities                                                          
  4. Marketing Goals and Objectives                                    
  5. The Target Market
  6. Competition – List possible competitors                                               
  7. Marketing Strategy                                                           
  8. Action Programs (Marketing tactics)
  9. Budgets – How much money do you think this would cost?

Abstract

Introduction (Research Question and Hypothesis)

Literature Review (Note this is not an annotated bibliography but a Literature Review)

Methodology – don’t simply state qualitative methodology.

Analysis & Findings

Conclusion and Recommendations

Reference list

Methodology: This section provides the reader with a description of how you carried out your qualitative research project, and the variables you identified and analyzed.  It describes any special considerations and defines any limitations and terms specific to this project, if necessary. This section can be brief or more complicated, depending on the project, written in a single page.

Analysis and Findings: They are not the same as conclusions. In the analysis component of this section you identify how you analyzed the data.  The second part is the finding you got from your analysis of the data. The findings are the facts that you developed, not your interpretation of the facts. That interpretation is conducted in the conclusions and recommendations section of the paper.  Findings will come from the prior research you examined and your analysis of those prior findings to create new findings for your paper. While there may be some facts that are such that they will stand and translate to your paper, the intent is to create new knowledge, so you will normally analyze the data to create your own findings of what facts that data represents.

archaeological examples that proponents of alien theory

I want you to watch and put together a brief presentation analyzing The History Channel’s very first episode of the Ancient Aliens television series, which aired in 2010.

Specifically, I want you to identify at least three archaeological examples that proponents of alien theory use to support their claims. Use your textbook and internet-based research to assess the evidence in terms of actual archaeological science. Create a presentation where you present your examples and assessments. Why people believe in weird things, and why people perpetuate them.

POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT PATTERNS

Competency

Evaluate sets of health data from diverse populations using population health management principles.(Diabetes and high blood pressure in Minnesota)

Scenario

Effective population health management (PHM) requires strategies to reach the individual consumer or patient at all stages of life in the manner most appropriate for each individual. PHM must use a set of patterns of population health strategies that describe people and their preferences. These pattern classifications help healthcare organizations begin to understand how they should develop a robust PHM that serves the population needs.

Each market and population is unique. Market position, service offerings, health status, predominant diseases, and geographic and community features are all unique factors that need to be addressed. As your healthcare system gains a greater understanding of their local population needs, the PHM program you are implementing needs to develop criteria that will be assigned to specific population cohorts to define the various proactive health interventions and care delivery.

Instructions

Write an executive summary that analyzes the various patterns of population health management that your health system is developing for your diverse population.

Use five quality references to support your assessment and findings in this assessment.

CHRONIC DISEASES AND POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT

Competency

Develop a population health plan to address a health concern in the current healthcare industry. (Must be related to diabetes and high blood pressure in Minnesota)

Scenario

The key to an effective and sustainable population health management program is to know your chronic disease patients and coach them. The success of population health and chronic disease management efforts hinges on a few key elements: identifying those at risk, having access to the right data about them, creating actionable insights about patients, and coaching them daily toward healthier choices.

Instructions

As your health system is drafting a strategic framework for the PHM program, you are tasked with creating a PowerPoint presentation with detailed speaker notes in each content discussion slide. Explain the relationship between disease management and population health needed in the following areas:

  • Describe the prevalent chronic diseases for the population your health system is serving.
  • Describe the risks associated with the proliferation of these chronic diseases.
  • Assess how the population will access information and resources to prevent and manage chronic diseases.
  • Construct a chronic disease communication plan that helps patients with chronic diseases to pursue healthier choices and to use population health resources.

Use your findings from prior summative assessments in modules 01, 02, 03, 04, and 05 to create the PowerPoint. Use five quality references to support your assessment and findings.

MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY AND FINANCING

Over 72 million Americans are currently covered by Medicaid (along with coverage by the SCHIP programs), which makes Medicaid the single-largest source of health insurance coverage in the United States. Depending on income, children, pregnant women, parents, senior citizens, and individuals with certain disabilities are able to access the health care system for needed services. In this Case Assignment, benefits, eligibility, financing, and reimbursement levels will be examined – including how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act impacted the program. How do the economics of Medicare reimbursement levels vs. private insurance reimbursement levels affect health care systems and providers?

Case Assignment

Using the information in the required readings, as well as some additional research in peer-reviewed sources, complete your Case assignment by answering the following:

  1. Examine the benefits and eligibility of the Medicaid program. Who can be covered, and what are the specific income restrictions when qualifying via financial status? How did the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act change the income determination methodology?
  2. Describe how the Medicaid program is financed. How much do the individual states (including your home state) contribute?
  3. Determine how the average Medicaid reimbursement level specifically compares to the average reimbursement for private insurance. How can these reimbursement levels affect the bottom line at your facility?

Assignment Expectations

  1. Conduct additional research to gather sufficient information to support your analysis.
  2. Provide a response of 3-5 pages, not including title page and references
  3. There are multiple required items to be addressed herein; please use subheadings to show where you are responding to each required item and to ensure that none are omitted.
