  • The Role of Public Health Promotion in Relation to Other Standards and the Influence of Socioeconomic Status on Health Outcomes 1. The Role of Public Health Promotion and its Relationship with Other Public Health Standards Public health promotion is a critical aspect of

    Ensure to cite more than three references for each question; the answer for each question is 600 words. 1. As a health professional and currently a student in public health, you have been working/learning about several topics in the field of public health. Write about the role of public health promotion; how it fits with other public health standards (i.e., prevention and protection) 2. One of the most persistent findings in the literature on socioeconomic status (SES) and health is the positive association between SES and health. Regardless of the time period, nation, or unit of analysis, higher SES is almost invariably linked to better health outcomes. While this association is well established, attempts to explain why the relationship exists have been less successful. As a result, traditional health promotion programs often do not benefit individuals of high and low SES equally. What do you believe accounts for the positive relationship between SES and better health? Furthermore, how do these factors affect the success of interventions aimed at benefiting the entire population? In developing your argument, please be sure to cite relevant studies to support your points.

  • Strategic Priorities and Variance Analysis at Stanford Healthcare Variance Analysis and Strategic Alignment: A Memo to Stanford’s CFO

    Scenario
    You’re a healthcare administration fellow at the prestigious Stanford Healthcare. You have been rotating through the various departments over the past nine months and now you have the honor of working under the mentorship of Chief Financial Officer Linda Hoff.
    Stanford Medicine includes Stanford Healthcare, Stanford Children’s Hospital, and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. This organization uses an integrated approach to strategic planning, which incorporates jointly agreed-upon strategic priorities from its various entities. It also ensures a high degree of congruence in strategic focus by each entity.
    Before outlining the strategic priorities for Stanford Medicine, it is important to note that a firm’s directional strategy comprises three discrete yet interwoven components: vision, mission, and goals (or, in this case, priorities). Armed with this knowledge, you have familiarized yourself with the vision, mission, and priorities of Stanford Medicine. Below is what you found.
    When examining a company’s financials, it is prudent to keep the directional strategy of the company in mind. After all, in order to advance many strategic priorities, which include fulfilling the mission and positioning the organization to achieve its vision for the future, proper management of the firm’s scarce resources is vital. Failure to properly manage the financial performance of the organization can compromise the company’s ability to maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
    Our Vision
    Precision Health: Predict. Prevent. Cure. Precisely.
    We will heal humanity through science and compassion by leading the biomedical revolution in precision health.
    Our Mission
    Improving Human Health Through Discovery and Care.
    Through innovative discovery and the translation of new knowledge, Stanford Medicine improves human health locally and globally. We serve our community by providing outstanding and compassionate care. We inspire and prepare the future leaders of science and medicine.
    Strategic Priorities
    A collaborative endeavor involving the entire community, the Stanford Medicine integrated strategic planning process yielded a framework that is human-centered and discovery-led, focused on three overarching priorities for our enterprise.
    By enhancing our strengths and achieving our goals in these priority areas, we will amplify our preeminence and remain uniquely positioned to lead the biomedical revolution in precision health, ensuring our continued ability to guide healthcare through significant global changes.
    Value Focused
    Provide a highly personalized patient experience.
    Ensure a seamless Stanford Medicine experience.
    Digitally Driven
    Amplify the impact of Stanford innovation globally.
    Deliver human-centered, high-tech, high-touch care and revolutionize biomedical discovery.
    Lead in population health and data science.
    Uniquely Stanford
    Accelerate discovery in and knowledge of human biology.
    Discovered here, used everywhere: advanced fundamental human knowledge, translational medicine, and global health.
    Ensure preeminence across all our mission areas.
    Variance Analyses
    Normally, managers are expected to examine positive and negative variances, and then speculate as to possible explanations for the observed variances. Following this initial assessment, managers would be expected to dig deeper into those variances of greatest concern to the organization to uncover the actual causes for the variances, and then implement necessary corrective actions. Digging into all variances would be costly and, quite frankly, a misuse of time and energy.
    The CFO asked one of her financial analysts to conduct a variance analysis of the company’s consolidated balance sheets and income statements for fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, which has been completed. The analyst determined the variances for each account (line item) captured in the financials. Now that this first step has been accomplished, the CFO would like you to pay particular attention to the negative variances contained in the spreadsheet and focus on those variances you believe to be potentially the most impactful to Stanford.
    The financial analyst completed your variance analysis over time, which is referred to as a horizontal analysis, and then proceeded to create a common-size balance sheet and income statement for each of the four fiscal years (2015-2018). The common-sized financials are captured in the provided spreadsheet.
    Financial Management and Strategic Direction
    Once you’ve completed your horizontal and vertical analyses of the financial statements, you should be able to get a sense of how well management has managed the financial resources of the company in support of its strategic direction. In business, the strategic direction should be evident in its vision and mission statements, and strategic priorities. The strategic priorities should support the company’s mission, and the mission should help advance the firm’s vision for the future. Failure to effectively manage the company’s financial resources can seriously compromise the firm’s ability to fulfill its mission and, subsequently, its vision.
    Submission
    Based on the provided scenario, create a 3-4 page business memorandum to Linda Hoff, Stanford’s CFO. For guidance on writing a memo, take a look at this Sample Memo.
    In your memo, codify your findings and interpretations from the horizontal and vertical analyses and the level of alignment in the company’s fiscal management and strategic direction. Include the provided Excel spreadsheet you used to complete your analysis as an attachment to the memo. In this memo, you will:
    1. Review the year-over-year variances contained in the audited Stanford balance sheets and income statements for fiscal years 2015-2018 in the  Week 5 Assignment Spreadsheet. You’ll be expected to pay particular attention to the negative variances (color-coded in red) that you believe to be potentially the most impactful to Stanford and provide a rationale for that belief.
    2. Hypothesize as to the reasons for the negative variances. Be sure the hypothesis is supported by evidence from the scenario, the balance sheets, and income statements.
    3. Explain the proportional changes in the common size results over the four fiscal year time frame and identify notable changes in the ratios. Also include a hypothesis, supported by a rationale, to suggest why these anomalies may exist.
    4. Identify notable patterns and variances that warrant further investigation and justify both with evidence from the three-year period. Specify the potential consequences of the variances to justify the need to examine these variances further.
    5. Assess whether the vision, mission, and goals of the organization are aligned with its current financial position and provide an explanation of why it does or does not align. Provides specifics from the variance analysis to support the assessment.
    This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

  • “Empowering Communities Through Healthcare: My Journey to Become a Physician Assistant”

    This essay needs to be strong and competitive. We can go back and forth on talking points but i definitely want the writer to speak on the difference between a nurse responsibilities of care and a PA (they are very different), wanting to help my patients more, helping an underserved community, issues within healthcare that a PA can help with within the role, ect.. Overall, i give you free creative power on what to write but it needs to flow well and sound like i know what im getting into job wise (i do but im horrible at putting it into words) and sound genuine. I can steer you in the correct direction once you produce a first draft and give you talking points as best fit
