You MUST use the following major headings to compare the U.S. and your country. To organize the content of your paper for the “comparison” discussions, you MUST use the level heading titles & positions that are found at the end of this module. These level heading titles & positions are in APA format.

 

 

PAPER HEADING: Introduction Selection of country (name of country and reason for choice). See module readings for U.S. health care system information.

 

 

PAPER HEADING: Health Statistics and Costs Discuss the following: 1) life expectancies; 2) mortality rates; 3) major health conditions/diseases; 4) health care expenditure ($) per capita as ratio of total population; and 5) health care expenditure (% of gross domestic product) for U.S. and your selected country. For the U.S., see module readings ( Chua ; Shay & Schumacher; CDC) or more recent internet sources, if available.

 

 

PAPER HEADING: Health Care Financing Discuss the following: 1) How is health care financed for its citizens — through public sector [taxes] or the private sector [personal or employer] or a combination of both? 2) How are the funds (private & public) collected? 3) If a combination of financing, what are the percentages of private/public? 4) For the U.S., how is the new Affordable Care Act financed? For the U.S., see module readings ( Chua; Shay & Schumacher; Jackson & Nolan) or more recent internet sources, if available.

 

 

PAPER HEADING: Health Care Administration Discuss the following: Which national government agencies (major agency and its assisting agencies) a) oversee, b) regulate, and c) service the provision of health care for its citizens (i.e., employed, low income, elderly, uniformed personnel, veterans, native Americans)? For the U.S., see module readings ( Phillips; Chua) or more recent internet sources, if available. Describe agency missions/functions/purposes. Be brief: 1-2 sentences for each U.S. agency is sufficient. For your selected country, an example is the Ministry of Health (or its equivalent) along with its assisting agencies.

  PAPER HEADING: Human Resources Discuss the following: What are the total numbers and/or number (per 100,000 population) of 1) nurses; 2) physicians; and 3) hospitals/hospital beds for U.S. and your selected country? For the U.S., see module readings ( Chua) or more recent internet sources, if available.

 

 

PAPER HEADING: Conclusion: Access and Equity Issues Discuss the following: 1) Does the country have citizens/populations who are uninsured, underinsured, and/or experience health disparities? 2) Which citizens or populations (i.e, ethnic, income, and/or immigrant groups) in the U.S. and your selected country? For the U.S., see module readings ( AHRQ) or more recent internet resources, if available.

 

 

5) See below for how to format the headings . Headings levels are important in a professional paper because they provide organization and progression for the reader. APA format standardizes levels/positions, although heading levels may differ somewhat according to the type of paper and discussion. Use the APA-formatted heading levels below to differentiate your countries and include a short comparison discussion.

 

 

 

I have included an example of heading levels for your first paper:

Repeat the title of paper [centered] at top of page 2: Comparison of Health Care Systems: United States and Iceland

Introduction [Level 1] (centered) Discussion begins…. (paragraph[s] form of at least two sentences

Health Statistics and Costs [Level 2] (flush left)

A short paragraph (at least two sentences) must introduce the level 3 sub-headings you are going to discuss in this section. For example: “The discussion below provides information about and compares the health statistics and costs of the United States and Iceland.

Literature Review 4-5 pages APA

/in /by

 

Write a 4-5-page paper (in addition to the title page and reference page) for your literature review:  The literature review is an organized way of presenting what other individuals have said about your particular topic. This is not an annotated bibiography, but a presentation of opinions that reflect previous  research and results of that research.  

   Select      appropriate sources of evidence to support your research topic (      Narcolepsy and Cataplexy) and compose a literature review supporting your      proposal. Include      a discussion regarding your investigation and search for the literature to      gain knowledge related to your proposal. Please      use appropriate headings. Sources      are to be within 3-5 years unless the study was the “Mother of all      Studies.” This means the earlier study precipitated all the research      that followed.

If you  should use an historical study, be sure to include how the subsequent      research supported the original study and/or negated the findings creating      evidence that initiated a change in practice or beliefs.

Applied Epidemiology

Applied Epidemiology

On September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks created a grave disaster that included the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York. The day after 9/11, epidemiologists were asked to assess the environment around Ground Zero for potential hazards that might put those engaged in rescue and recovery at risk of harm. Beside the dust, what toxins might be in the air? Was the air quality safe or should rescue workers wear canister respirators or particle masks? What other protections might be necessary in the days following the disaster?

In this Discussion, you will look at the impact of a disaster through the lens of an epidemiologist, addressing such questions as, “What epidemiological considerations arise in the wake of a disaster? And, what makes disaster planning or emergency preparedness effective in terms of mitigating or preventing negative aftereffects?”

To prepare: Identify      a disaster that led to a population health issue. Consider this disaster      through the lens of an epidemiologist, using the information presented in      the Learning Resources to examine the epidemiological considerations      resulting from the disaster. Conduct additional research as necessary      using the Walden Library and credible websites. Ask      yourself, “What factors made the community’s and/or nation’s response      effective or ineffective? What aspects of disaster planning or emergency      preparedness did the community have in place that helped it cope with the      disaster and resulting population health issue?”

By tomorrow 05/08/2018 10 pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with at least 3 scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headings as numbered below”

Post a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:

1) Identify the disaster and resulting population health issue.

2) Describe the epidemiological considerations resulting from this disaster. Support your response with specific examples and evidence from the literature.

3) Discuss the factors that made the community’s and/or nation’s response effective or ineffective.
