Disease of Global Concern
Characteristics
of a person or people, geographical location, and era help to better
understand the development and pervasiveness of a disease. Descriptions
of persons, places, and time help to effectively describe disease and
health status within a population.
Using
the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about a
disease of global concern (HIV, AIDS, or any such disorder). Based on
your research, answer the following questions:
How would you use demographic data to characterize this disease?
How would you incorporate further research to address this disease?
How would you
use morbidity and mortality in developing prevention strategies aimed at
increasing attention to disease and decreasing adverse health outcomes?
Which phenomenon—morbidity or mortality—is better to study to develop preventive strategies? Why?

Please see attached table for reference, and see attached assignment as some parts have already been completed. You will be adding on.

The ability to communicate, interact with different cultures, and think critically is essential in the medical field. The interactive media scenario you will use for this assignment illustrates a situation that could easily arise when working in health care. To complete this assignment, access the “Allied Health Community” media link in the topic Materials and complete the following:
Click “Enter” to begin.
Click on the box that says “SCENARIOS.”
Click on “View Scenario” for the “Critical Decision Making for Providers.”
Examine how the described problem might happen in your facility and the impact it could have. Work through this situation by examining all of the choices presented in the scenario.
When you get to the end of the scenarios, one scenario will have the word “Transcultural” on the top right corner. Click on “Transcultural.” Read the scenario and answer the four questions that are provided.

Our reading this week explored various types of emails and memos: progress reports, meeting minutes, incident reports, directives, general information, and responses to inquiries.  
Your task for this week is to compose an email or memo (you can choose which) that is based on the scenario below. 
You’ve been hired as an Assistant Director of Nursing at a long-term care facility that recently opened. The Director has discovered that some nurses and other staff members have been posting videos and selfies on social media, sometimes with patients visible. In a TikTok video, a portion of a patient’s chart can be made out in the background, raising privacy concerns and the risk of HIPAA violations. In a Twitter post, a staff member complained about a patient in a potentially disrespectful way. On Facebook, an employee shared erroneous information about the facility’s holiday hours.  
Your manager asks you to send a memo to the facility staff detailing a new social media and smartphone use policy to go into effect immediately. Employees should no longer use personal phones while working, except while on breaks. No photos or videos of the facility or patients should be posted on personal social media accounts, and all information or news about the facility should be approved by the Assistant Director before being posted.  
Compose your email or memo in a document, adding the necessary headings and features of the format you’ve chosen. Use our text as a reference to decide what kind of email or memo to write, and to make sure your email or memo looks and sounds professional. Your email or memo should be no less than 200 words and no more than 300 words. Feel free to make up any necessary information or details as needed as you write. 
Last, on a new page, write a 1-2 paragraph reflection on your email/memo addressing the following: 
Which type of email/memo did you decide to compose for this scenario? Why? 
What did you find challenging about writing your email/memo? Explain. 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many areas of the world did not have access to newly developed vaccines. What factors should be considered on a global scale to improve equitable distribution of vaccinations and other medical technology in the case of a world-wide health crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic? Discuss your thoughts using factual evidence and/or research to defend your position.

Thank you for your discussion board post on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and their roles in disaster planning and recovery this week in our threads. I appreciate you sharing what you learned about the agency. Now, FEMA has been scrutinized as slow to respond, which is what happened after Hurricane Katrina. It turned into a political blame game. According to Appleton, (2009), President George W. Bush had originally praised his director of FEMA, Michael D. Brown, but as criticism mounted, Brown was forced to resign, as was the New Orleans Police Department Superintendent.” DO SOME ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND LET THE CLASS KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AT THE ST RITA NURSING HOME IN BERNARD PARISH? It is a good lesson on professional ethics. I look forward to your response.
