Discuss how certain lifestyles and behaviors can affect physical health.
How is research important in preventing disease and/or the spread of disease? Give an example of how research has helped improve the outcomes of people with certain diseases. Also, explain how scientists determine if research sources and/or data are reliable.
Using the CSU Online Library and/or other sources, either prove or disprove the idea that social stress and social networks affect an individual’s health.
We know that epidemiology looks at the distribution of disease within specific populations. On the other hand, social epidemiology looks at social behavior and other factors to determine how they affect the distribution of disease within a population. Consider where you live, either on a state, city, or neighborhood community level, and think about a particular disease or health disparity that is most prevalent among a particular group. Discuss what the disease/health disparity is, what group it is affecting, and what factors are involved in the reason that this group is affected.

Are those legitimate concerns? Did the investment bank act properly? Were anylaws violated? If so, what laws?

Module V
Cece2460 can you provide me with some assistance please

Question 1 <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” />
1.Maria worked for BigBusiness, Inc. and qualified for FMLA leave. Her husband, George, suffered fromserious medical conditions, and Maria looked after him, transporting him tomedical appointments, cooking for him, giving him his medications, helping himmove about, and providing psychological support for him. Big Business hadconsistently approved FMLA leave requests for Maria of one or two days when shehad to do something to assist George. On May 10, Maria requested FLMA leavefrom June 15 to July1 to assist George in traveling, though she did not specifythe reason for the travel. The reason for the travel was to make a pilgrimageto a religious site that was thought to provide healing powers. George did notreceive any recognized medical treatment during that pilgrimage, though Mariadid assist him in moving around and in giving him his medications.
On June 1, when Big Business requested certification from George’s doctors thathe would receive necessary medical treatment during his travels, George’sdoctors responded on June 16 that they were not scheduled to provide anymedical treatment to George between June 15 and July 1 and that they had noinformation that George would receive any medical treatment during his travels.Big Business attempted to call Maria on June 16 when they received theinformation from the doctors to tell her that the FMLA leave request was notgranted, but they were not able to reach Maria since she and George had alreadyleft on the pilgrimage.
Since the FMLA leave was not granted and since Maria was absent from work fromJune 15 to July 1, Big Business terminated her. Was Maria entitled to the FMLAleave that she requested? Did Big Business violate Maria’s rights interminating her?

Vertical and Horizontal Integration of Health Systems in Various Regions

Post your responses to the Discussion based on the course requirements.

Your Discussion postings should be written in standard edited English and follow APA guidelines as closely as possible given the constraints of the online platform. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure your in-text citations and reference list are correct. Initial postings must be 250–350 words (not including references).

A 58-year-old man needs to have his blood tested on a regular basis so his physician can monitor the effects of the anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication he is currently taking. He usually has his blood drawn at his local lab in San Francisco, California. While traveling on business in Portland, Oregon, he is able to have his blood drawn on the specified day at another Labcorp location. Labcorp operates an extensive network of 1,700 laboratories across the United States, so lab results can be communicated to the patient’s physician from any location.

Geisinger Health System serves an area with 2.6 million people in northeastern and central Pennsylvania. As an integrated health system, it provides coordinated care to meet the wide-ranging needs of patients. The advanced use of information technology has been critical for facilitating communication, reducing duplication of services, and improving the patient experience along the care continuum. Consisting of numerous clinical facilities and a health insurance company, Geisinger Health System offers an innovative approach to care delivery that it hopes will become a national model.

Integration is an organizing principle for care delivery intended to promote better health outcomes and greater clinical and financial accountability. Labcorp’s horizontal integration is a growth strategy that reduces competition from other companies. Geisinger’s vertical integration is a diversification strategy that links a continuum of services to increase the comprehensiveness of care.

In Module 3, you examined the varied services a patient may need and researched health care organizations that provide those services in your geographic area. In this Discussion, you will examine how integration affects the delivery of care in your community.

To prepare for this Discussion, review the information related to horizontal and vertical integration in the Learning Resources, including the information in the Shi and Singh (2015) textbook and the journal articles.

Next, research integrated health systems in your geographic area. If you find that one or more of the settings you identified for your Module 3 Assignment are part of an integrated system, you may further research the setting(s) for this Discussion.

Select one vertically integrated health system and one horizontally integrated health system in your geographic area on which to focus for this Discussion.

Continue researching these two health systems, noting important information about each health system, including its size, settings/locations, and the services it provides. Investigate how the integration of each system has affected, or is expected to affect, issues related to cost, quality, and access to health care services in your area. Consider implications of integration for the management of the organization, as well as the patient/consumer experience.

If you are an international student, you may examine a specific geographic area in the United States or research two integrated health systems identified in the Learning Resources that are not the same ones you address in your Assignment.

Note: In the Assignment for this module, you are required to select and analyze one vertically integrated health system and one horizontally integrated health system from a provided list. Do not select the same health systems for this Discussion.

Post by Day 5 of Week 6 a substantive and cohesive response to the following:

• Analyze one vertically integrated health system in your area and share details about its size, settings/locations, and the services it provides.
• Analyze one horizontally integrated health system in your area and share details about its size, settings/locations, and the services it provides.
• Assess the impact of integration on issues related to cost and access to care, including implications for the management of the organization and the patient/consumer experience.
