DISCUSSON QUESTIONS #1 1. Define what is meant by the Epidemiologic Transition. (CLO 4, 5, &7) 2. Discuss causative factors that have lead to the worldwide epidemiologic transition. DISCUSSON QUESTIONS #2 1. Discuss the current epidemiological trend of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Outbreak. 2. Discuss what the public health community is doing to respond to this pandemic, at […]
The goal of this assignment is to investigate the healthmap.org website each week and find new and specific outbreaks that have found their way into the general population. Your focus will be to record three new outbreaks in all various parts of the world- North, South, East, and West regions of the world throughout the four […]
Transportation Evaluation The goal of this assignment is to help you review the different types of transportation in a format that most of you are familiar with. This assignment will also help you determine how companies make decisions regarding routing, mode of transportation, and timing. Now it is your turn: Select an Express Delivery firm […]
ometimes, challenges or issues in healthcare delivery are not prescriptive in nature and cannot be solved using pure optimization. Simulation provides healthcare administration leaders and decision makers a method to evaluate problems using probabilistic components. For example, a primary care queueing problem might logically follow a Poisson process and be modeled using simulation techniques. For […]
Advanced optimization techniques are often necessary to solve real problems in health care. Techniques like goal programming and data envelopment analysis are often used to solve multiple objective problems, such as minimizing cost while maximizing access measures. Other advanced techniques are often required for problems that sometimes seem straightforward. Although you may not encounter the […]
Simulation in health care often involves more than trivial skills. For example, modeling all outpatient clinic operations in a particular facility would probably involve the use of multiple probability distributions and many calculations. Verifying and validating the simulation requires even more technical prowess. Healthcare administration leaders and decision makers must have the knowledge, skill, and […]
VIDEO – HOW THE FOOD YOU EAT AFFECTS YOUR GUT: (Links to an external site.) What are some of the functions of the gut microbiome? What foods are some of the best fuel for gut bacteria? Once digested, what does fiber turn into that feeds your microbes ? What part of this talk did you find most […]
Instructions There are many forces that impact health delivery systems. Choose one aspect that influences how health delivery systems are challenged, and describe the issue. Examples include, but are not limited to, access to care, quality health care improvement, lack of coordinated care, continuity of care (medical home), etc. After reviewing the Logic Model Development […]
Water Management Plan for Ashfordton [WLOs: 1, 3] [CLOs: 2, 4] Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, review Chapter 5 in the course textbook. Imagine that you are a resident of Ashfordton, a community whose characteristics are described below. You have come together with your neighbors for a special meeting to devise a […]
Nature Experience Project [WLO: 1] [CLOs: 3, 5] Prior to beginning this assignment, please listen to the podcast, ‘The Sound of a Snail’: A Patient’s Greatest Comfort (Links to an external site.). Throughout this course, we have been exploring environmental issues and challenges, such as fresh drinking water scarcity and biodiversity loss. But what would our own […]
