part 1
After reviewing the background materials and your own research, please define an advocacy decision model for a health condition of your choice. Please list and elaborate the key components (political considerations, economic considerations etc.) of the model and the overall impact that the advocacy will have on the health of the population? Part 2 Please describe effective strategies for influencing stakeholder’s positions related to health policy and economic decisions. What are the best practices in advocating for policy changes that will impact the overall health and well-being of your selected targeted population

Please respond to the following:
Thinking about the topics covered in this class, select two actions taken by organizations that you think will provide the greatest health benefits for the population. Assess the benefits for the environmental health management field.

The purpose of this assignment is to develop a strong, working foundation for your final paper. You will identify a topic area and develop a problem- or issue-related topic within that area of interest. As you develop this specific topic, keep in mind that your eventual goal is to formulate and present a solution to the healthcare issue or problem you identify.
Your topic proposal should include the following items and address the following:
Describe the topic you wish to pursue. It may be somewhat broad at this point and it may imply a problem. Use the Additional Resources in your course materials to help you search for ideas.
Identify your purpose: Why are you interested in this topic? (Narrow your topic.)
Specifically explain what it is that fascinates you or draws you to this topic.
Clearly describe the topic’s relevance in the field today.
Identify a purpose for a paper on this topic:What might you accomplish in exploring this problem?
What is your intended goal?To evoke change
To make new connections (new cause and effect)
To introduce a new theory, solution, or idea
Is this goal realistic?
Identify a problem within the topic and draft a problem statement. (It will likely evolve and be revised as you progress through your research.)
Identify a problem related to your topic and state it.
The problem statement should be specific and indicate the focus of your final paper.Not too narrow, not too broad
Intellectually challenging (a simple solution is not apparent)
Who would benefit from a solution to this problem (who is the target population)?
Your paper should be 1–2 pages. Adhere to APA Style throughout.

Chapter 5 of your textbook discussed the public health pyramid (Figure 1-2). At each level of this pyramid, health problems, relevant theories, and targeted interventions are delivered.
For this discussion post, do the following:
Refer to a specific level of the public health pyramid. This should be clearly named in your post.
Utilizing the health need you identified in this week’s Goals and Outcomes in Context discussion, conduct a brief literature search of evidence-based interventions regarding the chosen health need. Identify and briefly describe the intervention. Remember, alignment is key here—if you identify “direct healthcare services” in the public health pyramid, the evidence-based intervention should in fact be one-to-one (at the individual level).
Cite and explain how the chosen evidence-based intervention has been utilized to impact a specific health outcome. (This does not have to be the outcome you identified in the Goals and Outcomes in Context discussion.)
Remember to cite any sources and refer to the FEM guidelines as you prepare your post.
Response Guidelines
Read and respond to your peers’ posts according to FEM guidelines, addressing the following:
State whether or not you agree with the level of the public health pyramid your colleague has chosen to address the identified health need. Explain why or why not.
Uncover an assumption you believe may lie beneath your colleague’s logic, in the relationship between the health need and evidence-based intervention chosen. Is this assumption questionable?

Write a 1-2 page paper about some of the Best Practices you have learned about during this course medsurg. How will these practices improve patient’s outcomes? You must use APA and have at least three references less than three years old to support your choices.

explain in detail whether a paper-based system of records is more secure than an electronic system. In addition, explain which system has higher start-up costs and why.

Week 3 Discussion 1: Goals and Outcomes in Context
In the Riverbend City: Community Health Needs Assessment media piece you completed as part of this unit’s study, you had the opportunity to prioritize the public health issues voiced by the citizens. Now, apply what you have learned to a real-life community based on the Hennepin County Medical Center Community Health Needs Assessment, linked in the Resources.
Utilize the Initial List of Health Needs for Consideration section of the Hennepin County Medical Center Community Health Needs Assessment (pages 14–21) to complete the following:
Review the 7 listed health needs, and select one. Be sure to identify your selection.
Relate your selection to 2–3 of the key qualitative themes from interviews for that health need. Use the data provided for the county, HCMC community, and specific neighborhood/population to further describe the health need you selected.
Align the health need and the key qualitative themes you have selected to the most significant health outcome you would expect to achieve at a community level. Be sure to explain your rationale.
Response Guidelines
Read and respond to your peers’ posts according to FEM guidelines. Review the data for the health need chosen. Then, evaluate the strength of the evidence your colleague has used in making their selection (for example, consider the prevalence of the health need chosen). Based on the additional data provided, what second significant health outcome could also be expected at the community level?
Resources
Discussion Participation Rubric.

Discussion Research one large health care system in a city of your choice, and note its core business and any diversified organizations. Is this system practicing related or unrelated diversification? Discuss how this strategy reflects its mission and vision. Will this strategy continue to be effective in the changing healthcare landscape?
Please respond to a minimum of two (2) other posts. The initial post must have a minimum of four (4) scholarly references/industry professional journals and your response to classmates must have at least one (1) reference source. 1 page & 2 Replies
