Discussion: Research Design and Methods

Health information systems used in public health are well known for their quality and breadth. More recently, “Big Data” has captured the attention of health care and public health professionals as a potential powerful source of data not yet fully explored.

This week, you will review a published study that uses secondary data drawn from a large data set. As you do so, remember that research design and methods are often chosen simultaneously, depending on the study population, the purpose of the study, the variables, and the time frame within which data on these variables are to be collected.

For this week’s Discussion, select a published study on public health prevalence or incidence from the Walden Library that uses secondary data, and evaluate its study design and methods.

To prepare:

  • Research the Walden Library and select a published study on public health prevalence or incidence that uses secondary data.
  • Review the study design and methods of the study you have selected.
  • Research for trusted sources of information used in public health and review their structure and content.

By Day 3

Post a 2- to 3-paragraph evaluation of the published study you selected. Include the following:

  • A brief description of the published study you selected
  • An explanation of the study design and methods the authors used
  • An evaluation of whether the selected study design, methods, and secondary data sources were the most appropriate (provide your rationale).

Support your post based on the Learning Resources and current literature. Use APA formatting for your Discussion and to cite your resources.

Please follow direction

Text book is Organizational ehavior by McGraw Hill

Respond to the 2 people nothing fancy can be 40 words.
Hi everyone!
1. My name is Elizabeth Ibarra, and I live in Britt, Iowa. I am a full-time student here at Waldorf, I work part-time at a sow farrowing farm, and in the Iowa Army National Guard. My goals for right now are to focus on school and focus on family. Once I graduate this May, I hope to attain a job in management. My family includes Me, my husband Gerardo, my 8-month-old son Federico, and our chocolate Lab Zeke. I really enjoy spending time with my family, running, reading, cooking, and traveling. I am excited to get to know you all!
2. I don’t believe leaders should use the same strategies to connect with their remote workers as they would with the onsite team. Usually with their onsite team, there is a lot of talking about what they want, maybe showing, and other co-workers around to support them. Whereas remote workers, typically work on their own and rely on emails, phone calls, texting, etc. They require more information than the onsite team. Dr. Rogers said it’s like an online class, you need to give the students more information than a face to face class. Online students need everything mapped out for them. sometimes in face to face classes maybe most of the class doesn’t understand a certain topic so the professor could push the test back to take extra time on that certain material. Whereas online, we are kind of individuals and must work through things with the professor if we don’t understand. There are also technical problems that come from the technologies, age (older people typically don’t know how to use the technologies as we would), culture/ Diversity, etc. So, like the women were saying in the podcast, you have to take extra time to connect, and get to know your employees and students. This way you can figure out what there needs and wants are. Like, part one of this discussion question. You asked us to talk about our life. So, you can get to know us as individuals. My classes on campus are different, some ask, and some don’t. But we are a small enough University where the instructors get to know us all personally.

next person-
My name is Kasey and I am from San Diego, California. I am currently employed with UPS as a preload supervisor for a warehouse in San Marcos and strive to get promoted into Business Development where I would look at multiple companies shipping plans and make deals with them. For my free time I love to go hiking or outdoor climbing locally to recharge.
Reflecting on the Unit 1 podcast, I agree that technological improvements have led to an increase in remote workers and ways to connect with remote team members. I do believe, quite often, that leaders can use the same strategies to connect with remote workers as they would with an on site team by acting professionally and using the same motivational techniques to help the remote worker want to work for the leader. In contrast, the leader will have to acknowledge the cultural differences and respond differently to his worker working for him or her remotely rather than an employee that works for the leader on site.

Implicit Bias

/in /by

People don’t always say what’s on their
minds. One reason is that they are unwilling. For example, someone might
report smoking a pack of cigarettes per day because they are
embarrassed to admit that they smoke two. Another reason is that they
are unable. A smoker might truly believe that she smokes a pack a day,
or might not keep track at all. The difference between being unwilling
and unable is the difference between purposely hiding something from
someone and unknowingly hiding something from yourself.

The Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures
attitudes and beliefs that people may be unwilling or unable to report.
The IAT may be especially interesting if it shows that you have an
implicit attitude that you did not know about. For example, you may
believe that women and men should be equally associated with science,
but your automatic associations could show that you (like many others)
associate men with science more than you associate women with science.

Visit the Project Implicit website to take one of the IAT from the list below:

  • Gender and Sexuality
  • Sexuality (‘Gay-Straight’ IAT). This IAT requires the ability to
    distinguish words and symbols representing gay and straight people. It
    often reveals an automatic preference for straight relative to gay
    people.
  • Gender – Science. This IAT often reveals a relative link between liberal arts and females and between science and males.
  • Gender – Career. This IAT often reveals a relative link between family and females and between career and males.
  • Race and Ethnicity
  • Race (‘Black – White’ IAT). This IAT requires the ability to
    distinguish faces of European and African origin. It indicates that most
    Americans have an automatic preference for white over black.
  • Asian American (‘Asian – European American’ IAT). This IAT
    requires the ability to recognize White and Asian-American faces, and
    images of places that are either American or Foreign in origin.
  • Native American (‘Native – White American’ IAT). This IAT
    requires the ability to recognize White and Native American faces in
    either classic or modern dress, and the names of places that are either
    American or Foreign in origin.
  1. First, explore the Project Implicit website.
  2. Next, complete one of the Implicit Association Tests (IAT) from
    the list above. Each test should take about 10 minutes to complete. At
    the end, you will receive your IAT result along with information about
    what it means.
  3. Then, share your IAT results as a screenshot (How to take a screenshot with a PC or Mac).
  4. Finally, write a reflective post about your thoughts and
    feelings (a) prior to taking the test, (b) during the actual test and
    (c) once you received your results.

Accounting 431 Audit Plan Project – eBay: Business understanding and risk assessment

/in /by

Company: eBay.

Write about the following:

-Documentation of your understanding of the business:

o Company history (Include additional information)

o Industry Overview (Include additional information)

o Regulation it is subjected to

o Corporate Governance

o Acquisitions (instead of acquisition, maybe the separation of PayPal),

o Litigation

-Documentation of your risk assessments related to the company.

o Significant Risks

o Business Risks

o Incentive Risks

o Risks Related to Fraud and Illegal Acts

o Risk Related to Party Transactions

o Accounting specific risks related to line items on the company’s financial statements

-Audit programs documenting risk assessments (inherent and control) for the accounting area this pertains to (i.e. revenues, accounts payable, intangible assets, etc), possible control test work and substantive procedures to be performed, etc.

o At the very least, I would think you’d have audit programs for accounts you deem associated with any significant risks and for accounts comprising major parts of company business

o REQUIRED: Illustrate the role of data analytics in performing these audit procedures

Some guidelines related to the project:

– This project is to be done based on your current external knowledge of your company. Please do not make reference to discussions with client personnel, detailed documentation of company processes, or other “made-up” information.

– Quantity does not necessarily equal quality. The amount of content will not solely dictate your grade. It is very important that all things included are relevant to your company and not merely pumping up the size of your project.

– As with anything in academics, when in doubt, be as specific as possible. What I mean by that is I expect you to address major areas related to your company beyond material strictly from the textbook. I want you to think about and address things that actually are the significant areas of your client company, potentially above and beyond the standard things that affect all companies (i.e. cash, revenue recognition).

– Please reference sources appropriately as needed.

– It would not be extraneous for your business understanding and risk assessment portions of your project to each be 10-15+ pages. There are lots of resources out there.

– This should read like passages or a report.

Understanding electronic health records

/in /by

Electronic health records (EHRs) can serve as an archive to capture clinical care provided and transmit or share clinical summary information with other providers. Since physical documents exist for patients, such as authorizations, insurance cards, and test results from other providers, EHRs also obtain information through scanning, which is specific to an individual patient. EHRs also provide coding intelligence for clinical providers based upon a patient’s history and exam. In turn, this feature offers compliant charge capture for billing of services to health insurers. The efficiency of EHRs is limited only by the imagination of the end user. In addition, specialized software can provide automated data analytics as specified by clinicians or management. Customer relationship management software is available to send patients visit reminders, newsletters, and patient education materials. With the implementation of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) starting on January 1, 2017, EHRs must have the ability to transmit clinical summaries to patients and referral sources via secure email.

Complete the Understanding Electronic Health Records worksheet.

  • Define each term related to EHRs.
  • Explain the purpose or importance of each term as it relates to EHRs.

Cite at least 3 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references.
