Case Study, in which you will address the chosen organization’s health promotion and disease prevention and management strategies. Specifically, you will critique the organization’s healthy living programs, disease prevention and management programs, and non-programmatic services. You will assess the cultural competence of these services using the population health approach. Be sure to consider issues such as how well the organization’s health promotion and management strategies address a wide range of cultural beliefs and whether the organization’s programs and non-programmatic services help to reduce inequalities among members of the population.

Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed: 

II. Health promotion and disease prevention and management strategies 

a) Assess the organization on its efforts to promote healthy living by examining programs (e.g., fitness classes, blood pressure clinics, first aid training, nutrition education, etc.) that it may offer to patients. Be sure to provide evidence to support your claims.

b) How appropriate are the organization’s disease prevention and management programs and services (such as discharge planning, home health services, vaccination services, etc.) for addressing factors that determine population health status? Be sure to provide evidence to support your claims. 

c) Assess non-programmatic services(such as transportation, on-site child care, etc.) that may be offered by the organization for their impact on factors that determine population health status. 

d) Identify gaps or deficiencies that may exist in the organization’s health promotion and disease prevention and management efforts, and provide evidence to support your claims. If you feel there are none, be sure to explain your reasoning

Compose a focused paper that explains and describes your healthcare issue/topic from the scientific and mathematical/analytical perspectives of inquiry. (You will cover two perspectives in one paper.)

Address your general topic by forming and answering two levels of research questions for each inquiry.

• Choose a “Level 1 Research Question/Writing Prompt” from both of the lists below to answer in the paper.
• Compose a “Level 2 Research Question/Writing Prompt” for each kind of inquiry that provides detail, specificity, and focus to your inquiry, research, and writing.
• State your research questions in the introduction of your paper.
• Answer each research question and support your assertions with evidence (research) to form the body of your paper.
• In the conclusion of the paper, briefly review the issues, research questions, answers, and insights.

Level 1 Research Questions/Writing Prompts
SCIENTIFIC Perspective of Inquiry
What are the anatomical, physiological, pathological, or epidemiological issues?
Which body systems are affected?
What happens at the cellular or genetic level?
Which chemical or biological issues are most important?
Level 1 Research Questions/Writing Prompts
MATHEMATICAL/ANALYTICAL Perspective of Inquiry
What are the economic issues involved?
Which economic theories or approaches best explain the issue?
What are the statistical facts related to the issue?
Which statistical processes used to study the issue provide for the best explanation or understanding?

Your paper must be five pages in length and reference four to six scholarly, peer-reviewed resources. Be sure to follow current APA Style (e.g., spacing, font, headers, titles, abstracts, page numbering).

Refer to the rubric for evaluation details and to assist in preparing the paper.

I will attach all links and articles for this week

In the media introduction to this module, it was suggested that you as a nurse have an important role in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). With a focus on patient care and outcomes, nurses may not always see themselves as contributors to the development of new systems. However, as you may have observed in your own experience, exclusion of nurse contributions when implementing systems can have dire consequences.

In this Discussion, you will consider the role you might play in systems development and the ramifications of not being an active participant in systems development.

To Prepare: Things to consider

Review the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) as presented in the Resources. 

Reflect on your own healthcare organization and consider any steps your healthcare organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system.

Consider what a nurse might contribute to decisions made at each stage of the SDLC when planning for new health information technology.

By Day 3 of Week 9

THE ASSIGNMENT:

300-350 WORD -APA FORMAT-In text citation-Reference last 5 years, peer reviewed

*Post a description of what you believe to be the consequences of a healthcare organization not involving nurses in each stage of the SDLC when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system. 

*Provide specific examples of potential issues at each stage of the SDLC and explain how the inclusion of nurses may help address these issues. 

*Then, explain whether you had any input in the selection and planning of new health information technology systems in your nursing practice or healthcare organization and explain potential impacts of being included or not in the decision-making -process. 

*Be specific and provide examples

This assessment requires you to complete a Genetic/Genomic Nursing Assessment using the information found in your text on page 224, Box 8-7.  You DO NOT need to create a family tree.  Rather, write out your assignment in APA format and address the items from the Nursing Assessment box 8-7.

Your paper should include the following information:

Identify three generations of one family (male/female, age, role in the family such as son/daughter, father, mother, grandmother, grandfather).  You may use grandparents, parents, and children.  Be sure to find a family with children.
Brief health history of each family member (for example what health problems has each member encountered in his/her lifetime).  Focus on any/all genetic diseases that may be present or those for which family members may be at risk.
Complete a reproduction history for relevant above identified family members
Describe the ethnic backgrounds of family member
Identify any growth and development variations of each member
State to what extent each family member understands the causes of their health problems
Relate what questions family members may have about potential genetic risks
Describe what nursing intervention strategies the family health nurse should relate to your selected family based on the obtained assessment
Objectives

Analyze family genetic health risks
