According to a recent World Health Organization report excessive drinking causes more than four percent of deaths worldwide more than AIDS tuberculosis or violence.

****500 Word Discussion*****According to a recent World Health Organization report excessive drinking causes more than four percent of deaths worldwide more than AIDS tuberculosis or violence. Due to increasing incomes in heavily populated countries in Africa and Asia including India and South Africa binge drinking has become a problem in many developed countries as more money is being spent on alcoholic beverages.Moreover policies which control alcohol are weak and remain a low priority for most governments despite drinking’s heavy toll on society causing road accidents violence disease child neglect and job absenteeism.WHOs Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health states that approximately 2.5 million people die each year from alcohol related causes. It further reports that the harmful use of alcohol is especially fatal for younger age groups and is the world’s leading risk factor for death among males aged 15-59. Worldwide statistics accounts for about 11 percent of drinkers who have weekly heavy episodic drinking occasions with men outnumbering women by four to one. Men consistently engage in hazardous drinking at much higher levels than women in all regions investigated.In the WHO’s first report on alcohol since 2004 alcohol has been a causal factor in 60 types of diseases and injuries. Increasing consumptions has been linked to cirrhosis of the liver epilepsy poisonings road traffic accidents violence and several types of cancer including cancers of the colorectum breast larynx and liver.Despite repeated health warnings from doctors and public health professionals the global health burden of alcohol consumption continues to rise and it shows there are no signs of it slowing. The economic and health implications posed by alcohol are often overlooked in favor of its social benefits and it is precisely this fact that makes alcohol such a dangerous commodity.Question: Discuss the social complexity (ies) of alcohol as a strong risk factor for disease transmission such as HIV/AIDS in the context of global health.

STAFFING IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE FACILITIESTHERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE FACILITIES

Staffing in Behavioral Healthcare FacilitiesThere are different types of behavioral healthcare facilities. Some are stand-alone facilities while others are part of a larger healthcare system. Many larger healthcare systems include a department or behavioral health unit as part of their comprehensive set of services. In these large healthcare systems there is integration and sharing of services at all levels.Describe the similarities and differences between staffing for a stand-alone behavioral healthcare facility and a behavioral healthcare unit that is a part of a larger healthcare system. What are the reasons for these differences? Does behavioral healthcare have unique staffing needs or is it similar to the staffing needs of a hospital in general? Why or why not?Provide specific examples of both types of healthcare facilities. You may also refer to information shared on the Internet. Which healthcare system among these two would you prefer more and why? Justify your answers with appropriate research and reasoning.Referral Process in Behavioral Healthcare ServicesBehavioral healthcare like most healthcare services has seen a change in focus from a didactic relationship between the physician and the patient to that of a group effort involving an interdisciplinary team of professionals as well as active participation by the consumer.The team concept stems from several factors but mainly from the comorbidity of diseases and conditions. In most instances the consumer is not just faced with mental illness but psychosocial issues such as family and work challenges as well as other medical issues such as addictions and overall poor health. This is when a team operating in a disease management capacity is the best course of action especially for individuals with persistent mental illness and comorbidity.How does a primary care physician integrate the need for further behavioral health services such as referring to a psychiatrist or psychologist for therapy or counseling?Search the Internet to look for a hospital system providing behavioral healthcare services. Review the information shared on the hospital’s Web site regarding the functioning of the department providing behavioral healthcare services. Explain the referral process and the protocol followed in hospitals when a patient requires behavioral healthcare services. Justify your answers with appropriate research and reasoning.

THE HEALTHCARE PROFESSION IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT DECISION MAKING IS EVIDENCE BASED.

Need a response to this discussion 3 pages long APA format 3 references1 from Walden University Library. Willing to pay 15 dollarsIntroductionIn the healthcare profession it is very important that decision making is evidence based. For a decision to be evidence based the question must be clearly articulated you must search for relevant evidence and you much choose the evidence of highest quality (Robeson Dobbins DeCorby Tirilis 2010. Pg.1). A crucial first step in EBP involves converting information needs into well-worded clinical questions that can be answered with research evidence (Polit & Beck 2017. Pg. 31).The PICOT guidelines are questions that help clinicians discover the answers to their research (Walden Student Center for Success 2012).With these guidelines in mind I formulated the question Is the daily use of CHG for all pediatric inpatients who have no allergy to CHG associated with a lower incidence of bacterial infection in these same patients? The P in the acronym stands for population or patients in the case the characteristics of the population would be all patients who are staying in the hospital especially for an extended period or those who have risk factors such as central lines. The I stands for the intervention which would be the daily chlorahexadine baths. This intervention would help reduce the risk of hospital acquired infections such as MRSA or c diff. Comparison is the next step and is what the C stands for. In this case the comparison of the effectiveness of daily CHG baths would be compared to not doing CHG baths. The O stands for outcomes that we would hope to see which would be a decrease in hospital acquired infections. The T is the last and final letter and stands for time. In my hospital the study was conducted over a three-month period to see if we saw a decrease in our hospital acquired infections. Using evidence based research I will find the conclusion to this question.Evidence Based ResearchWhen conducting research it is very important to have filtered information and unfiltered information. Filtered information is information that has been appraised for quality and clinical relevance (Hierarchy of Evidence Pyramid). Filtered information includes systematic review critically appraised topics and critically appraised individual articles (Hierarchy of Evidence Pyramid). Unfiltered information is evidence that has not necessarily been appraised for quality. This information tends to come from primary sources (Hierarchy of Evidence Pyramid). Unfiltered information includes randomized controlled trials cohort studies case-controlled studies and expert opinion (Hierarchy of Evidence Pyramid).When searching the Walden Database for articles on my PICOT question I used the search terms CHG Bath CHG Bath in Pediatric Patients and Reducing infection using CHG Bath. The first article I found multiple studies done on multiple patients with bone marrow transplants. The purpose of the study was to see if bathing them daily with CHG would decrease the acquired infections which it did. This article would be considered a systemic review because it had multiple resources and multiple studies. When searching for critically appraised topics it was very difficult to find one that had a cohort study that had to do with CHG baths there were some articles about other ways to reduce infection but none that involved CHG.The next article I found falls under the topic of expert opinion in the case the expert opinion came from the nurses. In this study done in 2017 they interviewed nurses nurses aides and nurse managers. They found that all interviewed did find a decrease in infection when CHG baths were used however many times the nurses did not have time to administer the baths.Research AdviceI think that when conducting a search for evidence base practice it is important to stay open minded and patient. Staying open minded will help you think of different search terms that may yield different search results. It is also important to be patient while searching so that you can stay focused and weed out the unwanted results.ReferencesLaureate Education (Producer). 2012g).Hierarchy of evidence pyramid.
