Write a paper (2,000-2,500 words) in which you apply the concepts of epidemiology and nursing research to a communicable disease. Refer to “Communicable Disease Chain,” “Chain of Infection,” and the CDC website for assistance when completing this assignment.

Communicable Disease Selection

Epidemiology Paper Requirements

Address the following:

1. Describe the chosen communicable disease, including causes, symptoms, mode of transmission, complications, treatment, and the demographic of interest (mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence). Is this a reportable disease? If so, provide details about reporting time, whom to report to, etc.

2. Describe the social determinants of health and explain how those factors contribute to the development of this disease.

3. Discuss the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable disease you have selected. Include the host factors, agent factors (presence or absence), and environmental factors. Are there any special considerations or notifications for the community, schools, or general population?

4. Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting, data collection, data analysis, and follow-up) and why demographic data are necessary to the health of the community.

5. Identify at least one national agency or organization that addresses the communicable disease chosen and describe how the organizations contribute to resolving or reducing the impact of disease.

6. Discuss a global implication of the disease. How is this addressed in other countries or cultures? Is this disease endemic to a particular area? Provide an example.

A minimum of four peer-reviewed or professional references is required.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract/thesis is required.

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

Nursing theories are tested and systematic ways to   implement nursing practice. Select a nursing theory and its conceptual   model. Prepare a 10-15 slide PowerPoint in which you describe the   nursing theory and its conceptual model and demonstrate its   application in nursing practice. Include the following:

1. Present an overview of the nursing theory. Provide evidence     that demonstrates support for the model’s efficacy in nursing     practice. Explain how the theory proves the conceptual model.
2. Explain how the nursing theory incorporates the four     metaparadigm concepts.
3. Provide three evidence-based     examples that demonstrate how the nursing theory supports nursing     practice. Provide support and rationale for each.

Refer to the resource, “Creating Effective   PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center,   for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the   appropriate style.

A PESTLE Analysis identifies political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental factors. Review PESTLE Analysis at the following https://www.groupmap.com/map-templates/pestle-analysis

The U.S. health care system costs $3.3 trillion last year and delivered too little value (Blumenthal, 2017). For most Americans, health care is not only expensive but also fragmented, inconvenient, and physically inaccessible.  Aetna, CVS, UnitedHealth Group and DaVita are health care stakeholders who are engaging in mergers and acquisitions to produce a higher quality product.  Review the article “Is M&A the Cure for a Failing Health Care System?” at https://hbr.org/2017/12/is-ma-the-cure-for-a-failing-health-care-system in Harvard Business Review.

Congratulations; you have been selected as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a local hospital.  Within six months of taking the job, you learn your health care organization is considering a merger.  Your first task is to conduct a PESTLE Analysis.  Use critical thinking skills and metacognition to research current events in the macro environment of the local hospital in your area.  Your hospital selection will be the same hospital used throughout this course. MY HOSPITAL IS ( UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FOR MEDICAL SCIENCE ).  Review the website information on your hospital selection and prepare a 10-slide Microsoft PowerPoint narrative using a PESTLE Analysis 

Your 10-slide PESTLE PowerPoint should follow this format:

1. Slide 1: Cover Page a. Include the title of your paper, your name, the course number and course title, your professor’s name, the university’s name, and the date.
2. Slide 2: Background / Executive Summary a. Describe the details of the situation. Use bullets with short sentences. The title of these slides should be Executive Summary.
3. Slide 3: Thesis Statement a. Identify the focus of your research. The title of this slide should be Thesis Statement.
4. Slides 4-9: Supporta. Support your Thesis Statement following the SESC formula: State, Explain, Support, and Conclude.  (Use Sublevel 1 and 2 Headings to provide coherence and organization. An overview of using the Sublevel 1 and Sublevel 2 headings is provided in the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr185y-fAks. Provide in-text citations using the format in the American Psychological Association (APA) Manual 2010, 6th Edition.)
5. Slide 10: References 
   1. Locate peer reviewed journal articles to support your responses.  For example, identify clinical quality that does not compare to other hospitals, see https://www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare/search.html. Use APA format for your references. (To help you with APA in-text citations and your Reference list, some students use Citation Machine at http://www.citationmachine.net.)
