Many industrialized nations have successful public programs in place that are more effective than those in the United States. Some examples include waste food reduction, education test scores, health care, less violent crime, more vacation time, and mass transit systems. What lessons can public agencies in the United States learn from lessons abroad? What is your rationale? Explain.

ANSWER THE ABOVE DISCUSSION AND THEN REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 150 WORDS EACH)

                                                         CLASSMATE’S POST

The United States can learn from countries such as, Spain, Germany, and Britain, on providing health care for their citizen for about half the cost of what the United States does, and with better overall health outcomes, such as lower infant mortality rates, as well as with greater overall patient satisfaction.

Germany’s had a national health care system since 1813 that create a broad-based care. Taiwan has one of the world’s newest national system. Set up in 1995, its goal was to incorporate the best ideas from around the world. The one thing these countries have in common is their successful system of ensuring that everyone who needs or want health care can get have it without going broke or bankrupt. This has proven to be important and has improve the physical well-being of their country, and in keeping cost down.

The rational is that if people have health insurance, they are more likely to get preventive care and early treatment for medical conditions, if left untreated could end up being very costly. If the United States have a national health service, it would save citizen a great deal of money and can be much cheaper as it is for the citizens in Spain and Britain.

Some people get confused with the terminology surrounding death investigations and their classification, such as natural death, accidental, suicide, and homicide. For this reason, criminal investigators must be well-versed in the various death classifications. Use your textbook, the Internet, and / or Strayer Library to research articles on death investigation.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

  1. Compare and contrast the fundamental differences in natural death, accidental death, suicide, and homicide.
  2. Select an article concerning a type of death of your choice and summarize the key factors that the police used to classify the type of death. Suggest one (1) additional factor that the police should collect for the death investigation.
  3. Compare the fundamental differences in investigating a death case versus other types of crimes.
  4. Determine the goal and the main procedure of a preliminary death investigation. Include one (1) example of a successful preliminary death investigation to support your response.
  5. Analyze the main ways in which various environmental factors may influence the medical examination and autopsy in death investigations.
  6. Use at least two (2) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar type Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Telehealth encompasses a wide range of basic to complex health care delivery options, with an equally expansive array of technologies to employ. For the assignment, you will locate a scholarly article on telehealth published within the last 5 years in a peer-reviewed journal. You will compose a paper containing a precis, mind map, and discussion. The precis will focus on the scholarly article pertaining to telehealth technology. The mind map and discussion will help to generate and illustrate ideas about how the identified telehealth technology can be used in your current practice.

DPI Project Content Connection: While telehealth may not be directly associated with your project, this assignment will help prepare you in learning how to review and present literature. In future courses, you will develop Chapter 2 of your manuscript in which you will review at least 50 sources related to your DPI topic. Learning how to succinctly synthesize scholarly sources is a very useful skill. The precis portion will help you learn how to summarize (future assignments will assist in synthesis), and the mind map portion will help you learn how to organize your ideas and establish connections between topics and subtopics.

General Guidelines:

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

  • Doctoral      learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The      APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
  • Use      primary sources published within the last 5 years. Provide citations and      references for all sources used.

Directions:

Using the “Telehealth Template,” write a 750-1,000 word paper on a telehealth technology that can be used in your current practice. The paper will include a precis, mind map (provided as the Appendix), discussion of the mind map, and conclusion, according to the following:

Introduction

Provide an introduction that is succinct and includes a thesis or main idea. The essence of the paper should be contained within the thesis, and the thesis statement should make the purpose of the paper clear. You may also use the introduction to provide an overview of the organization of the paper and establish the purpose for each section.

Precis

Donald Davidson, in his book, American Composition and Rhetoric, discusses the precis as follows:

“A precis is not an outline, but a summary or digest. It is useful as an exercise in grasping the essential ideas of an already completed composition and instating these ideas in concentrated form. The precis shears away all elaborations of the thought and gives only what is left, in such a way as to make the summary a complete composition. It does not, therefore, skeletonize the original composition so much as it reduces its scale. Many of the articles in the Reader’s Digest are only precis, so skillfully done that the average reader does not know that he is reading a summary. Since the precis says a great deal within a brief space, it is of great service in taking notes on library assignments and general reading.”

The precis should be an organization of ideas (including logical sequencing of points), contain clear and meaningful expression, and use language suitable to the situation. Your precis section should only cite the article you are reviewing. When finished, the precis section should summarize a single scholarly article on the topic of telehealth and should be four statements long:

  1. A      statement of what was studied (i.e., argued, discussed, deliberated).
  2. A      statement of focus of the current scholarly article selected (i.e., how it      was organized and completed).
  3. A      statement of what information was identified or learned from the scholarly      article.
  4. A      statement of why the information in the article is important to your field      of study.

Mind Map

Brainstorm to generate ideas about how the identified telehealth technology can be used in your current practice using a mind map. Include the final mind map as the Appendix at the end of the paper.

Create your mind map according to the following:

  1. Take a      sheet of paper and write an identifiable main idea in the center of the      page, using only one to three words. (You may also achieve this via an      electronic sheet of paper.)
  2. Draw a      branch off your main idea. On the branch, write or draw a main topic      related to your main idea.
  3. Continue      to branch off from your main idea with main topics as needed.
  4. From      your main topics, branch off with subtopics.
  5. From      your subtopics, branch off with supporting details (write or draw).      Continue to add more details. You are free to add more topics, subtopics,      or any other items.
  6. When      you stand back and survey your work, you should see a sort of map: hence      the name for this activity. At this point, you can start to form      conclusions about how to approach a potential area of practice change. At      the end of the day, what you do with the particular map, cluster      set, orweb that you have produced depends on what you      need.
  7. If you      create your mind map on physical paper, you may scan it in as an image and      insert the image into your document. If you create the mind map      electronically, you may either convert the electronic map to an image or      use the snipping tool. Usually you can find this tool by searching in the      start menu.

Mind Map Discussion

In this section, discuss the mind map based on the scholarly article reviewed in the precis. In your discussion of the mind map:

  1. Include      a critical evaluation of ideas and connections related to the topics and      subtopics, as well as how this information could be used in practice.
  2. Include      support from two additional scholarly sources (i.e., primary sources      published within the last 5 years).
  3. Provide      citations in text for all sources used and accompanying references in the      References section. In addition, refer to the mind map in the appendix and      cite it properly in text.

Conclusion

In the conclusion, provide a summary of ideas and support the main claim of the paper. Be sure to summarize key points rather than restating the material.
