Task: Read through the following blog on HIEs: https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20190807.475758/full/
Based on the information here and what you know about healthcare organizations and informatics, describe the opportunities and advantages of using Health Infomation Exchanges and how more organizations could be encouraged to support and contribute to these types of data warehouses.
Share the health policy you found during your Internet search that is directly related to your practice area. How does this policy impact your practice?
Using the following scenario, complete the case study.
During Spring Break, Angela, Bridgette, and Laura went to a small Mexican town near the Gulf of Mexico. On Friday night, the girls went to a restaurant. Angela and Bridgette shared a pizza with ground beef, refried beans, cheese, and some vegetable toppings. Laura ate a large portion of chicken fajitas. After dinner, Laura brought her leftover chicken fajitas back to the hotel and stored them in the room’s refrigerator. Saturday morning, the girls ate bagels and fresh fruit. For lunch, the girls stopped at a deli. Angela had a spinach salad with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and poppy seed dressing. Bridgette had a shrimp salad sandwich on a toasted multigrain roll. Laura had a bowl of seafood gumbo soup. The young women were having so much fun that evening, they didn’t have time for a sit-down dinner, so they each ate a hot dog from a street vendor. When they returned to the hotel later that evening, they were a little bit hungry, so they shared Laura’s chicken fajita leftovers after reheating them in a microwave. Between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, Angela and Bridgette each woke up feeling nauseous and bloated. They spent most of Sunday sick with vomiting and diarrhea. Angela also had a very bad headache and chills. Laura felt fine, but she was stuck in the hotel room taking care of her sick friends all day.
Step 2: In a 1-2 page paper, discuss the following:
Determine what food(s) you think could have potentially been the source of Angela and Bridgette’s food-borne illness. Explain your reasoning.
Identify potential sources of food-borne illness for each of the meals the girls ate over the weekend.
Based on their symptoms, a suspected food source(s), and the time of onset, analyze which microorganism(s) were most likely to have been responsible for their illness. Use references to support your claims.
Discuss any precautions that Bridgette and Angela could have done differently to prevent developing a food-borne illness. Explain your answer.
There are few individuals in the world who have not been impacted by Coronavirus (COVID-19). While some individuals may experience mild symptoms with COVID-19, such as a cough and fever, others may become severely ill and require hospitalization. While individuals over the age of 60 and those with pre-existing conditions are at an increased risk of developing serious illness, COVID-19 can affect anyone.
Initial Post
For your initial post, research coronaviruses and then share what you learn about how a typical coronavirus compares to COVID-19. What does it mean for a virus to mutate and what could this mean to the process of developing immunity? Many people have chosen to get vaccinated while others have not. What are the benefits of getting vaccinated and are there any scientific or medical reasons (excluding personal or religious reasons) that could serve as reasonable contraindications to being vaccinated or that would justify prolonging this medical intervention?
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of deaths in the United States, equating to about 1 in every 4 deaths. In 2018, the CDC published updated best practice strategies to help decrease cardiovascular disease risks.
Initial Post
View Best Practices for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Programs.
On this website, select one of the best practice strategies. Within each practice strategy, you will find three tabs: evidence of effectiveness, evidence of impact, and implementation considerations. In your initial post, use these key categories to address the following question:
How effective is this practice?
What kind of impact does this practice have?
What are the top considerations in implementing this strategy in your community?
After reviewing and studying this module’s content, answer the following questions. Be sure to complete all lab activities and attend/watch all live lectures before completing this assignment. All of your answers should be written in your own words, using full sentences, correct terminology, and proper spelling and grammar.
Explain the anatomical concepts associated with the heart. Summarize this module’s key points in 5-6 sentences.
Explain the physiological concepts associated with the heart. Summarize this module’s key points in 5-6 sentences.
How will you apply the concepts you have learned about the heart in real life and in your future career?
Which topic within this module has been the most valuable to your learning experience and why?
Which topic(s) within this module did you struggle to understand and why?
Select a research topic that interests you and also is an important social problem. Then, use the four combinations of worldviews, designs, and research methods in Figure 1.1 of Chapter 1 of the course text to discuss a project involving your selected research topic that brings together worldview, designs, and methods. Identify whether this would involve quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods research.
Using the research project you have described above, state the essence of this study in one sentence and then write your research title. By doing this, you focus on the key elements of the study.
Explain the key elements of your proposed study: What is the social problem? Which identity group in society is most affected by this social problem? Is there a particular place or other unique aspect which is important to note about your study?
Describe a social theory that was discussed in the “Social Relationships and Health” journal article and indicate how it was used to support the research.
Choose one of the quantitative research results presented in the article; describe the evidence presented and indicate which variables of the experiment were highlighted.
Determine the article’s conclusion in regards to social relationships in society. Based on the accompanying media piece “Why Facebook Could Be Good for Your HealthLinks to an external site.,” how could modern social media sites support the research findings in the journal article?

First define and then compare and contrast the fee-for-service and prepaid health plan models. What is the best type of health insurance (for the consumer and the organization) and why? Justify your answer. Discuss the various ways in which healthcare reform has affected and may affect the financial delivery of healthcare today and in the near future.
