Description

Understanding Demographic and Epidemiologic Transitions

To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use outside sources. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

answer the following questions:

What are the main factors that determine health in relation to global health?
If you could only pick one indicator to describe the health status of a poor country, which indicator would you use and why?
As countries develop economically, what are the most important changes that occur in their burden of disease? Why do they occur?
How would the population pyramid of Italy differ from that of Nigeria and why?

Clinical Decision Support Systems or Data Mining

/in /by

 Hi,

need 2-3 paragraph. choose from option A or B and please address all asked questions:

Answer with an initial post to one of the questions sets below. Make sure you note in your post if you are responding to Option A or Option B. You must respond to classmates postings in both Option A and Option B.

Option A: Clinical Decision Support Systems

Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are used to help guide clinical decisions for care. At the high end, CDSSs can facilitate diagnosis of conditions. Most of us see a CDSS in terms of hard stops in the charting where until certain things are documented you cannot proceed in the charting.

  1. Describe how a CDSS is used at your facility.
  2. Explain how a CDSS might be useful in supporting high quality, safe patient care.
  3. If your clinical area does not use a CDSS, describe how one could be used in practice.
  4. Find one peer-reviewed article to use in your response and cite it using APA format.

Option B: Data Mining

Data mining is used to find relationships between variables that one might not have considered previously. For example, you run a data search to compare the incidence of nosocomial infections rates on a particular unit against those that had surgery a minimum of one day prior. This might show a correlation between infection rates of a particular group (say, appendectomies) with a specific OR (or surgeon, or team, etc.). Perhaps the nosocomial infection rates of appendectomies was 24% when they used operating room 3. The data tells you to examine that OR, look for reasons why the incidence of infections was higher in that room. Data mining looks retrospectively at the correlation between two variables that might not have been identified otherwise.

  1. If you were able to perform a data mining search in your current setting, what topic or issue would you select? Keep in mind that data mining can ONLY happen if the topics or variables are electronically stored so when you identify your data mining topic, you need to state how the data is stored and accessed.
  2. Would you narrow it to a specific population and cross reference another variable such as a nursing intervention or would you widen the search to look for hidden trends?
  3. What other issues would need to be considered when looking at data mining trends for future practice?
  4. Find one peer-reviewed article to use in your response and cite it using APA format.

In your responses to two other students posts, discuss the impact data mining or CDSS might have on clinical practice or share another response that you may have about a students posting.

Your responses should consist of complete sentences and should be at least 1 paragraph but no more than 3 paragraphs.

 PICK A PRODUCT OR PRODUCT CATEGORY ON EUROMONITOR AND WRITE A 600 WORD REPORT ON CONSUMER TRENDS FOR THAT PRODUCT OR PRODUCT CATEGORY USING DATA FROM FIVE COUNTRIES. (The countries should be from different regions and have different levels of economic development) THE REPORT SHOULD INDICATE: o What the overriding trends are for the product; o In what type of country is the product doing well or poorly and why; o Where are sales for the product projected to grow and decline; o What do Euromonitors written assessments and reports tell you about the product? 

  

The enclosed link will lead you to the Euromonitor Passport database containing consumption data from many countries around the world. (You will need to enter your information to access the database A-Z as it is provided to us through our university library). Euromonitor is one of the world’s leading market research firms. I encourage you to explore the database as it provides a wide array of both quantitative and qualitative research on consumption patterns from several countries. It shows, for instance, which countries have the largest markets for goods such as beer, soap, shoes and clothing. It also shows per capita consumption levels.

After reading the case please answer the following questions:
1.How are wicked problems defined?
2.To what extent do you think this recycling discussion case represents a wicked problem? How so?
3.Some recent studies are questioning the ways in which recycling is managed- noting that less energy is used and costs are lower if all municipal waste is simply put into one trash receptacle for pickup and then sorted by machines at facilities. Which method do you supportmore efficient trash waste collection or methods that engage the public in recycling?
4.Based on the reading of chapter two of the textbook and the case you just read, do you think wicked problems can be solved through good public policy making and implementation? Why? Why not?
5.Can you think of a wicked problem in the past that has been solved through public policy?

The original answer to the case study questions should be around 500 words total. Please be coherent and avoid repetition. I’ve provided a comment to reply to and it should be around 200 words each. The comment should discuss the answers, not the authors. They should add something to the discussion and/ or provide constructive criticism. the reply to the comment should have an argument to back up the agreement.

I have upload the case study along with the chapter(p.40-75) that goes along with it and along the comment to reply to.
Thus case study and chapters are from
