Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of school-based health programs.

SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH PROGRAMS AND HEALTH CARE SERVICES

For this assignment, you will respond to questions regarding school health programs. Please answer these questions:

  1. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of school-based health programs. Be sure to distinguish the difference between a basic, expanded, and comprehensive school health program.
  2. List “the 8” components of coordinated school health programs. How are they interconnected and why are they important?
  3. Define the roles of Education and Public Health Departments. Should Public health departments provide primary medical care? How “bright” is the line between public health and personal health within the context of a public school district? Do they or should they overlap?
  4. Discuss the new directions of school-based health care services and the key programmatic characteristics of school-based health care services.
  5. Generally discuss how the Healthy People 2020 goal to “Increase the quality, availability, and effectiveness of educational and community-based programs designed to prevent disease and improve health and quality of life” impacts the role of education and public health departments to work with the schools.

Length: Your paper should be 4-5 pages, APA format, requires scholarly sources, use subheadings.

Dissecting A Quantitative Research Report

5-7 page paper.

6-7 reference between 2015-2020, include reference page APA 7 style.

From a recent (past 5 years) peer-reviewed journal, find an article that utilized the quantitative method.   Read the article and be able to provide a short summary of the study. Use the following guidelines:

Introduction – Briefly discuss the purpose of the Introduction section of a manuscript.

  • Problem Statement – Identify the background/rationale and      research problem for the study.
  • Theory – Identify the theory the researcher(s) grounded the      study in and describe the major research findings that support the theory.      Next, list out the research questions or hypotheses.

Methods – Briefly discuss the purpose of the Methods section of a manuscript.

  • Population and Sample – Who or what was the population of interest and what sample      participated in the study.
  • Tools for Measurement – Present the assessment or survey tools      that were used to collect the data.
  • Design – Briefly describe the research design that was      utilized. Provide a definition of the design and a rationale as to why the      design was the most appropriate (i.e., connect the design back to the      research problem to be addressed).
  • Procedures – Briefly describe the data collection procedures.

Results – Briefly discuss the purpose of the Results section of a manuscript.

  • Identify the primary type      of statistical analysis that was used to analyze the data.

Discussion – Briefly discuss the purpose of the Discussion section of a manuscript.

  • Describe the findings of      the study and discuss how it supports or refutes the theory presented in      the literature review.

Limitations and Suggestions – Identify the potential reasons why one should “suspend trust” in the research. Offer potential suggestions for improvement.

Benchmark – Science/Health Mini-Unit Plan

For this benchmark, you will create a unit plan containing three individual lesson plans designed for the students outlined in the “Class Profile.” Choose a grade level for the students, then select an NGSS from the physical, life, or earth/space sciences, as well as a health/nutrition standard from your state, for the 3-lesson unit. You may adapt any previous assignments in the creation of this mini-unit plan, as long as the three lessons form a planned, cohesive unit.  Use the 5E lesson plan template for each of the three lesson plans.

In your unit, design the three lesson plans so that they:

1. Use a variety of teaching strategies and technologies that encourage the students’ development of critical thinking and problem solving.

2. Use strategies that create opportunities for students’ active engagement in their learning and promote a supportive learning environment.

3. Incorporate the use of digital resources to promote effective verbal, nonverbal, and media communication techniques while creating opportunities for active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction in the elementary classroom.

4. Integrate formative and summative assessment techniques that measure all four DOK levels, and provide students feedback on their learning so that they can make adjustments; and

5. Use differentiated strategies to meet the needs of all students in the “Class Profile.”

Along with the unit, submit a 250-500 word rationale describing your reasoning for your instructional choices, your use of the 5E model, and how you connected the content to student learning needs.

Health Care Delivery Systems Case 3

MANAGED CARE, ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATIONS, HEALTH CARE CONSUMER PLANS/MODELS

Assignment Overview

There are various types of plans consumers can select. MCOs, HMOs, PPOs, POSs, or ACOs are the most common ones; however, they all supply various benefits and drawbacks. Consumers (patients) have the right to choose the type of plan that best fits their needs. As a health care leader, it is vital that you understand the differences in these plans. In addition, in a health care environment where there are plenty of options for consumers (e.g., providers, medical offices, location, consumer plans etc.), ideally making the “choice” is left up to the consumer’s determination.

Case Assignment

For the Module 3 Case Assignment, conduct additional research as needed, and complete the following:

  • Part 1 – Comparative Chart:
    • Prepare a detailed comparative chart (see example at the following source: https://philsblogspace.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/eco-chart.jpg?w=1400). In your comparative chart, evaluate and discuss the key features, differences, and disadvantages between MCOs, HMOs, PPOs, POSs, and ACOs.
  • Part 2 – Designed an Application (App):
    • In the world of technology, the “consumer choice” is often swayed by their research efforts or applications. In at least 2 pages, design an app to assist consumers with making a choice between the various consumer plans. Be creative and detailed about your application. Explain the contents of the application that you create and why you feel it would be beneficial to consumers.

In your scholarly paper, you should include an introduction and conclusion paragraph.

Assignment Expectations

  1. Conduct additional research to gather sufficient information to justify/support your thoughts and analysis.
  2. Limit your response to a maximum of 4 pages.
  3. Support your report with peer-reviewed articles, with at least 3 references. Use the following link for additional information on how to recognize peer-reviewed journals.
