The Epidemiology Paper is a practice immersion assignment designed to be completed in three sections. This is part two of the assignment. Learners are required to identify an at-risk population, how the health risk for this population can be affected by nursing science, and the potential obstacles that may hinder implementation of health prevention and promotion activities for this particular population.

General Guidelines:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• This      assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment      to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
• Doctoral      learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The      APA Style Guide is located in the      Student Success Center.
• This      assignment requires that support your position by referencing at least six      to eight scholarly resources. At least three of your supporting references      must be from scholarly sources other      than the assigned readings.
• You      are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Please refer to the      directions in the Student Success Center.

Directions:

This assignment comprises the second part of the Epidemiology Paper. Write a 1,250-1,500 word paper that provides the following:

1. Identify      an existing at-risk population. Using aggregated statistics, include      identified criteria and data that substantiates why this population is at      risk.
2. Using      analyzed population data, identify a health risk within this population      that nursing science can impact. Describe the specific variables. Provide      SPSS data that correlates population to the identified health risk.
3. Identify      potential obstacles that may hinder the implementation of the prevention      and health promotion activities.
4. Identify      stakeholders, individuals, and agencies with whom you may need to      collaborate.

Continue analyzing the situation that your case study’s healthcare organization faces. In this milestone, you will continue to evaluate the impact of the mission and vision of the healthcare organization’s strategic plan. You will also consider how the organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats affect the environmental factors that confront the healthcare organization.

Develop a SWOT analysis of the healthcare organization. Be sure to address the following:

1. Briefly summarize your case study.
2. To what extent do the organization’s policies address this issue? Be sure to justify your response.
3. To what extent does the organization’s strategic planning around this issue align with its organizational mission and vision? Use evidence and examples to justify your reasoning.
4. What do you feel are the organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) with regard to this issue? Be sure to substantiate your claims with evidence and specific examples.
5. Based on the SWOT analysis you performed, what environmental factors are at play in terms of this issue and what is their impact on the delivery of care within the organization? In other words, identify any new policies or new trends that will affect your day-to-day operation.

Article Analysis 1 

The interpretation of research in health care is essential to decision making. By understanding research, health care providers can identify risk factors, trends, outcomes for treatment, health care costs and best practices. To be effective in evaluating and interpreting research, the reader must first understand how to interpret the findings. You will practice article analysis in Topics 2, 3, and 5.

For this assignment:

Search the GCU Library and find three different health care articles that use quantitative research. Do not use articles that appear in the Topic Materials or textbook. Complete an article analysis for each using the “Article Analysis 1” template.

Refer to the “Patient Preference and Satisfaction in Hospital-at-Home and Usual Hospital Care for COPD Exacerbations: Results of a Randomised Controlled Trial,” in conjunction with the “Article Analysis Example 1,” for an example of an article analysis.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. 

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.
