Identify Funding Opportunity

After you have completed your public health needs assessment matrix template, you will create a presentation that addresses the following:

• Identify your chosen public health intervention that relates to your MPH coursework.
• Explain how (using the MAPP Model) you completed the matrix template to identify your chosen public health intervention.
• Explain why the intervention is an important initiative.
• Identify whom the intervention will assist (target audience).
• Explain the general requirements of the FOA.
• Describe, at a high-level, your intended approach, in response to your chosen public health intervention, if awarded this grant

Q2

The Control Process

The control process involves three phases that are cyclic: establishing standards, measuring performance, and correcting deviations. Examine the manner in which health care leaders progress through each phase of the control process to manage organizations.  What is the management function of controlling as related to performance improvement?  What tools are used to measure and monitor performance?  Please describe at least two functions and two tools in your response. 

Discussion Question for Healthcare Marketing 150-200 words must cite work.

Select a health care provider of your choice and discuss the major elements making up their marketing communications process. Provide specific examples to support your response.

Analyze the eight major steps in delivering effective communications for a health care provider in your community and make at least one recommendation for improvement. Explain your rationale.

Q2

From the e-Activity, determine the best method of setting the health care provider’s communications budget. Explain your rationale. From the e-Activity, outline the basics of an effective integrated communications program for the health care provider you chose.

The e-activity was:

• Select a health care provider of your choice and use the Internet to research that provider’s communication strategy and approximate budget.

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

It is important to promote the professional role of the nurse to provide health promotion and disease preventive care. Collaborating with other health care professionals and consumer groups in the community in redesigning health care can help meet the goals for Healthy People 2020.

Refer to http://www.healthypeople.gov/ to open the Healthy People 2020 home page.

Select the”Topics & Objectives” tab to access the 2020 Topics & Objectives – Objectives A-Z page. Select one of the Healthy People “Topic Areas” for improving health. Submit the proposed area to the instructor for approval. No group may work on the same focus area as another group.

Develop a PowerPoint presentation (15-20 slides) with accompanying speaker’s notes and citations.

For help designing PowerPoint slides, refer to the “Create Your First Presentation” PowerPoint tutorial, located on the Microsoft website:

In the presentation, address the following:

State the objective of the presentation. State the Healthy People 2020 focus area your group has selected and the rationale for selection of the specific focus area. Explain how the focus area relates to the individual, the family, and the community, as well as to all age groups throughout the life span. Identify ways to enhance or optimize health in the selected focus area using evidence-based research. A minimum of three peer-reviewed articles must be utilized. Address the health disparity among different segments of the population for the selected focus area. Provide a brief description of at least two community resources and at least two website resources for professionals and clients. Provide a brief profile of at least one health-related organization for the selected focus area.

APA format is required for essays only. Solid academic writing is always expected. For all assignment delivery options, documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

In order for information to be shared between systems, whether electronic or manual, there must be a common format, language, or dialect that supports the system interface. In health care, there are many of these interfaces, and they provide standard ways in which health information can be exchanged. For example, Health Level Seven (HL7) is an accredited standards development organization that develops standard languages, which define how electronic messages sent between healthcare providers are formatted. Using the Internet, research other types of communications interfaces used in health care. Share your findings with the class, specifically in terms of applications for the interface you found. For example, how does it work? Why is it used? 300 words

Review Article What Risk Assessments of Genetically Modified Organisms Can Learn from Institutional Analyses of Public Health Risks S. Ravi Rajan and Deborah K. Letourneau Department of Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95006, USA Correspondence should be addressed to S. Ravi Rajan, srrajan@ucsc.edu and Deborah K.

The risks of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are evaluated traditionally by combining hazard identification and exposure estimates to provide decision support for regulatory agencies. We question the utility of the classical risk paradigm and discuss its evolution in GMO risk assessment. First, we consider the problem of uncertainty, by comparing risk assessment for environmental toxins in the public health domain with genetically modified organisms in the environment; we use the specific comparison of an insecticide to a transgenic, insecticidal food crop. Next, we examine normal accident theory (NAT) as a heuristic to consider runaway effects of GMOs, such as negative community level consequences of gene flow from transgenic, insecticidal crops. These examples illustrate how risk assessments are made more complex and contentious by both their inherent uncertainty and the inevitability of failure beyond expectation in complex systems. We emphasize the value of conducting decision-support research, embracing uncertainty, increasing transparency, and building interdisciplinary institutions that can address the complex interactions between ecosystems and society. In particular, we argue against black boxing risk analysis, and for a program to educate policy makers about uncertainty and complexity, so that eventually, decision making is not the burden that falls upon scientists but is assumed by the public at large
