According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2012), “…it is important to conduct surveillance to determine the extent and scope of the health effects on the affected populations…Public health surveillance during a disaster allows for the detection of potential disease outbreaks and track disease and injury trends.” In public health emergencies, decisions need to be made in a very short period, which is very different than a standard epidemiological investigation.

Please answer the following:

Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue

/in /by

Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.

Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.

In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.

To Prepare:

Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.
The Assignment (3-4 Pages):

Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue

Develop a 3- to 4-page paper, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting. Be sure to address the following:

Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary, seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your organization).
Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor is being addressed in other organizations.
Summarize the strategies used to address the organizational impact of national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the scholarly resources you selected. Explain how they may impact your organization both positively and negatively. Be specific and provide examples

What are some ways that you see the principles of Incident Command demonstrated in this simulation, and some ways they could have been implemented better?

/in /by

This week you will engage in a virtual scenario where you will play the role of an Emergency Manager who is preparing for a mass gathering event. You will interface with different members of the Incident Command System, and will observe and influence how they interact with each other in managing any incidents that may happen. This is intended to give you a view of how all roles come together to function as a team, and prepare you for your final project in the course.

Play Online or Download and install the simulation. (381MB) *Please note: Your computer’s antivirus program might flag this download as “unknown.” AMU Classroom Support verifies it is safe to install.
Play through the experience. This should take 15-20 minutes. Afterward, please post on the following topics:

What are some ways that you see the principles of Incident Command demonstrated in this simulation, and some ways they could have been implemented better?
Do you feel Incident Command is more important before or after an event? How did you feel the scenario did or did not align with your view?
Effective Incident Management depends on teamwork among individuals and agencies, in assigning and executing responsibilities. What possible challenges did you see in the scenario that would need to be handled in the Incident Command system?

The coronaviruses are a viral group that causes illnesses ranging from the common cold to more severe respiratory diseases. The virus was aptly named due to the crown-like appearance of its surface spikes, “corona” meaning “crown.” Human coronaviruses were recognized in the mid-1960s and were divided into four subgroups: 229E (alpha); NL63 (alpha); OC43 (beta); and HKU1 (beta). An additional three human coronaviruses were identified: MERS-CoV; SARS-CoV; and SARS-CoV-2, which is responsible for the 2019-2020 global pandemic (COVID-19). As a part of the medical administrative team at Johnson Clinic, you will develop a Quick Reference Guide for COVID-19 coding. The primary manifestations of COVID-19 are respiratory and cardiovascular; however, neurologic and dermatologic features have been reported. Per the accepted ICD-10 coding guidelines, because COVID-19 is primarily respiratory, “Codes for signs and symptoms may be reported in addition to a related definitive diagnosis when the sign or symptom is not routinely associated with that diagnosis.” Therefore, your Quick Reference Guide will include codes beyond the COVID-19 code. To begin your work on the Guide, you will locate codes. Open the attached file and carefully follow the instructions. Accurate identification of the ICD-10 codes
