Quality Improvement in Public Health

/in /by

As demands on the U.S. public health system continue to increase, more quality improvement strategies are needed to support the system and improve outcomes. Public health agencies, like leaders in other industries, are developing quality improvement approaches for application in public health settings. Bringing together local, state and national healthcare practitioners and other stakeholders in quality improvement and quality assurance efforts has yielded several best practices and lessons for public health stakeholders. However, more work is needed if quality improvement is to become standard practice in public health.
Instructions
In this assignment you will read the article “Quality Improvement in Public Health: Lessons Learned from a Multi-State Learning Collaborative.” You will list the major concepts within the article and explain the positive outcomes in the two case studies. Further explore the how quality improvement programs could be systematically used in public health systems and explain the goals, values, and vision that should be considered in implementing such programs. Finally, consider the future, after such programs have been created and findings have been determined. How would ensure that the findings are implemented and followed in public health and public health policy in the future? This paper should be at least 1000 words in length. The paper has at least three references. Your writing should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful. All sources used should be properly cited using APA formatting.

How has public health informatics improved public health and public health services offered to Americans over the last two decades?

/in /by

In the United States, public health agencies at the federal, state, and local jurisdiction levels use public health informatics extensively. Federal centers, in particular, often focus on application of digital technology and information science to enhance the efficacy of health informatics that can impact public health practice greatly.

Research information management in federal centers using the module readings, Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Then, respond to the following:

How has public health informatics improved public health and public health services offered to Americans over the last two decades? Describe one example that supports this statement.
How can current federal programs and mandates reshape the current public health landscape? State and describe at least one federal program or mandate. Explain how the program or mandate impacts public health informatics. Support your rationale with appropriate scholarly references.
Write your response in 3 PAGE PAPER in Word format, providing relevant references. Apply APA standards to citation of

The advantages and disadvantages of collaboration among public health organizations

/in /by

In 5- to 7-pages, discuss the following:
    
1.The impact of changing legal and regulatory environments on public health practice. Consider specific changes to health policy and law in recent years and explore how such changes will impact the practice of public health. Be sure to assess impacts to health status, financial implications, ethics, sustainability, etc.
   
 2.The advantages and disadvantages of collaboration among public health organizations. Consider how working with individuals from different backgrounds may prove valuable, while simultaneously challenging; approximately three to five pros and three to five cons should be discussed.
  
 3. The perspectives on the benefits, costs, and burdens of public health programs. Consider current views (patient, provider, government, etc.) of public health and its worth to the healthcare system. Comment on the difference in cost (monetary and otherwise) and benefits associated with healthcare systems that promote  prevention.

NOTE: Your paper should incorporate published evidence to support your discussion of ethics and law in public health, multidisciplinary strategies in public health, and perceptions of public health initiatives.
