create a public health system resource document. It will contain key information needed to create a plan of action for a collaborative public health outreach initiative in a local community

Overview
In this assignment, you will create a public health system resource document. It will contain key information needed to create a plan of action for a collaborative public health outreach initiative in a local community. This type of document is something you (and others) could use as an on-the-job resource. A public health system resource document helps you to keep track of possible local organizations, people, or entities that could support your health issues now or in the future. In fact, keeping an active public health system resource document allows you to add new possible public health system resources as new stakeholders enter the profession.  Because collaboration with people and agencies is key to supporting your health initiatives, it is important to organize community people and organizations that might be able to support your ongoing needs for public health in your community.
You have the choice of using the data from the state of Nevada's Department of Health and Human ServicesLinks to an external site., or a community of your choice, as the basis to identify a disadvantaged, diverse population and a community-based health issue affecting that population. The important thing is that you can research data specific to the community and issue you are seeking to address. Keep in mind that an on-the-job resource will be more relevant if you focus the scope of your research and work on a specific county, city, or area served by your current place of practice. In other words, it is inadvisable to try to research and address this issue at a state level or higher.
Format your document based on your own needs. You could create a table in Excel or in a Word document—choose a format that works for you and your professional setting.
Note: Think broadly, beyond the academic setting. Create as if your coworkers will find this a great resource. If the way in which you format this document is something you think provides an advantage over other types of documents, make a note to your instructor about why you selected that style and how the format will make it easier for others to use.
Real-World Scenario
Using your selected population and community-based health issue as a focus, imagine that you are tasked to assemble such a resource as described above. You will present it to your supervisor, who will ultimately distribute it to a public health team for review. In this type of real-world scenario, you are expected to create a one-page memo or e-mail to your workplace supervisor. It will summarize the result of your work and any recommendations for what will be valuable to the team.  
You will be graded on how well you accomplish the following:
Use appropriate public health resources to obtain current data about a public health issue in a specific community or locale.
Identify local and national public health organizations currently addressing a specific health issue.
Describe systems thinking tools that could prove useful in addressing a public health issue.
Describe how public and private partnerships work together to address a specific public health issue.
Address all components of the prompt and use the assignment description to structure text.
Apply APA formatting to in-text citations and references.
Instructions
Complete the following:
Focus on finding system resources related to the health issue you are studying.
Create a separate 2–3 page table of health problem data, resources, and players in the world of public health related to your issue.
Summarize your findings and your determination of the value of those findings in a one-page memo or e-mail addressed to a workplace supervisor.  
Step 1: Data Gathering
Use the Capella library and the Internet to gather this information. A number of excellent resources are already provided in your studies.
You will need to collect data related to the following categories:
Place and Organization: The community of interest and the host organization.
Health Issue of Concern: A disease or injurious situation.
Demographics: Populations affected and incidence or prevalence trends.
Resources: Data on health professionals, institutions, and funding.
Stakeholder Groups: Listing of key resources and advocacy groups.
Create a document that is designed to be used by your coworkers as a resource.
Step 2: Memo
Summarize your findings in a memo to a workplace supervisor. You are encouraged to use the style and format of a professional memo from your workplace for this document. If you are not working at this time, find an example of a professional memo on the Internet and use that as your format guide.
Your memo should summarize what you have found and how your organization could best use that information. Include the application of systems tools for taking advantage of resources that exist related to the identified health issue and the potential for interagency collaboration.
Additional Requirements
Length: Two documents:
A 2–3 page table of data.
Memo: One double-spaced page in length, not including title and reference pages.
Font: Times
References: Create a full reference list of the resources listed in your table. Format your list according to APA style. Include hyperlinks to external sources. See Evidence and APALinks to an external site. as needed

    Causal Pathway Mapping

    Context

    A causal pathway is the first step in organizing an intervention to address a public health issue. Think of a public health issue you want to address through a behavioral intervention. Throughout this course, we will work to address the public health issue within a specific population. Take a look back at Week 2 and review your discussion feedback as well as the "assignment preparation" module. The public health issue you select will be the same topic you address throughout the assignments this term.

    A causal pathway is the outline to identifying the determinants of health of your selected public health issue. Use what you have learned from your studies material to "map" a path FROM the Structural Determinants of Health (SDOH) to a health outcome THROUGH the intermediary determinants of health for the public health issue you have selected.

    Instructions

    The SDOH Framework is outlined on page 25 of your textbook. Construct a “flowchart” (an example is provided below) and a narrative describing the pathway of your flowchart. It is highly encouraged to use PowerPoint to construct your map and use the “Notes” portion below to write the narrative describing the pathway. Please be aware that your ‘notes’ will not be visible in the ‘preview’ of the assignment during the submission process. The instructor will download the PPT file and view the notes on the download.

    Your pathway should include at least one complete path from a structural determinant to the health outcome (i.e., there should not be any “gaps” in the connections between the mediating constructs in your illustration or narrative) and the points marked on your map for potential interventions.

    Mark the “points of potential public health interventions” on your pathway with a star. You should have at least two points of intervention (one will be used as potential interventions to develop on later assignments). Provide a narrative (in the notes section under the slide) identifying and discussing each of the constructs in your model along with potential interventions that could be utilized to change the points you identified.

    Points will be deducted for lack of correspondence between the structural determinants, the intermediary determinants and the health behavior and outcome, and for unprofessional presentation of your exercise (i.e., poor organization in your writing, misspelling, etc.). You do not need to cite literature or provide references in this exercise.

    It may be helpful to review the Causal Pathway Example [PPTX] before beginning work on your assignment.

    Your submission will be assessed on the following criteria:

    • Create a pathway from the structural determinants to the selected health outcome.
      • Make sure the pathway clearly flows through the structural and intermediary determinants. Please note the structural determinants begin with a policy, governance, etc. as outlined in the SDOH Framework in your book on page 25.
    • Identify two points of intervention on the causal pathway.
      • Why are the points of intervention you identified relevant?
      • How do these points of intervention have the potential to have positive impacts?
    • Describe the connection between the constructs of the causal pathway and the health outcome(s).
      • Are the connections clear and easy to follow for someone else?
      • Are the constructs clearly explained?
    • Convey purpose, in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly writing standards.

    Please note the following when submitting your assignment:

    The file must be a PPT or PPTX file of your presentation. You cannot upload slides from google slides or any other cloud-based service. You must upload as a PowerPoint file for the notes to be visible to the instructor when downloaded.

    The Public Health Masters Program Library GuideLinks to an external site. and Writing CenterLinks to an external site. may also be helpful resources.

    Reducing the School to Prison Pipeline in People of Color in Hamilton County, OH

    Structural Determinants

    Intermediary Determinants

    Outcome

    Higher Rates of School Suspensions in Hamilton County

    A. Zero-Tolerance Policy in Schools

    B. Quality of Education

    C. Higher impact on students of color.

    D. Lower SES

    E. Biological Factors: Elevated Stress & Cortisol levels

    F. Behavior Factors: Mental Health

    G. Psychosocial Factors: Discrimination

    I. Psychosocial Factors: Social exclusion

    H. Access to Healthcare

    Hamilton County in Ohio currently has the highest suspension rates in the state. The state average is approximately 11.2% of students will experience a suspension while students in three Hamilton County schools see approximately 50% of students experiencing a suspension each year (Ohio Board of Education, 2017). Current research shows students experiencing suspensions are more likely to enter the prison system after the age of 18 (Basford, L., Lewis, J., Trout, M., 2021; Bacher-Hicks, A. et al., 2021).

    Zero-tolerance policy in schools was designed to reduce the use of illicit drugs and presence of deadly weapons in the school. This policy allowed schools to utilize law enforcement as punishment and allowed for suspension and expulsion. This policy has been shown to disproportionately impact students of color- C.

    Quality of Education is directly impacted by funding provided by tax dollars and state resources. In addition to the funding, students who experience suspensions and expulsions are missing out on valuable instruction which puts students at an academic disadvantage.

    Disproportionate impact on Black and Brown students- Several constructs disproportionately impact students of color including: zero tolerance policy, discrimination, social exclusion, and lower SES.

    Lower SES- SES includes education, employment and income. Approximately 16.2% of Hamilton county residents are living in poverty- which is higher than the state average of 14.2% (Ohio Poverty report, 2020). The Zero-tolerance policy in the school is leading to a lower overall quality of education for students of color which directly impacts the students ability to attend a college/university and directly impacts the future earnings which leads to elevated stress levels, lower mental health, & decreased access to healthcare.

    Elevated Stress- Chronic stress leads to elevated cortisol levels. Overtime, elevated levels of cortisol can lead to obesity, heart disease, and increased risk of various cancers. A lower SES can cause stress due to a lack of necessities (or worry about the lack) such as food, shelter, and safety.

    Mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety and/or psychological disorders are often left untreated in youth due to a lack recognition. Often these behaviors present as distress but are seen as “troubled youth” and are expelled or suspended from school instead of treated. The lack of access to health care, discrimination in the schools and/or health care system are impact these issues.

    Discrimination- People of color experience racism in both policy enforcement, healthcare, and in the workforce. These leads to increase stress, anxiety, and social exclusion.

    Social exclusion is tied to discrimination. Social capital leads to the amount of influence and individual has over their community, behavior, and outcomes. Social exclusion is often experienced by individuals labeled as ‘troubled’. A lack of social support leads to higher levels of high-risk behaviors, depression, and other mental health concerns.

    Potential Intervention Points:

    A. Zero-tolerance policy: potential interventions include education programs for school administrators. (Topics include: trauma informed care for principals and trauma informed pedagogy for teachers).

    E. Biological Factors- Elevated Stress: Include socio-emotional learning in school programs for students

    I. Social Exclusion: Work with community leaders to provide mentorship for students in schools. Utilize existing programs (such as Boys and Girls Club) or meet with mentors to work directly in the schools.

      In Part A of this discussion, your revision journey began. On this path, it is necessary to get outside of your own perspective. You make yourself vulnerable to others because your thoughts and ideas are sitting on the page for anyone to critique. However, there are many fearful experiences that are both necessary and rewarding. In David Kelley’s TED Talk, he outlines a process to navigate fears and unlock creativity. Think about these things, as you listen to Kelley’s talk.

      In at least one paragraph (5-7 sentences), please do the following:

      · Introduce the TED Talk by author and title and tell what it is about in your own words.

       

      · Think back to the fears you describe in Part A and reflect on what you can do to change the way you see and/or deal with them. In the TED Talk, the inventor of the MRI machine re-designed the experience for children, to help alleviate their fears. How can you re-design or revise your own thoughts, ideas, and perceptions to see this journey in the most positive and empowering way?

      Q2

       Darr describes social responsibility in three different contexts. Describe some of the challenges associated with one of them.

      Q3

      This is a theoretical case taken from VHA Intensive Ethics Advisory Committee Training, 1998, as presented by Arthur R. Derse MD, JD. An 87-year-old woman widowed for six years, who is otherwise healthy, was visiting another city and abruptly became ill. She was seen in the emergency department of the local VA and admitted to the on-call physician. The on-call physician (who has not previously seen her) made the diagnosis of bowel obstruction arid made arrangements for a surgeon to evaluate her. The surgeon recommended surgery and obtained her consent for surgery. The surgeon expects an uneventful recovery. She is told that she will be on a ventilator for a short time after surgery. The patient tells the surgeon that is OK as long as it is for a short time. She tells the surgeon that she does not want to be dependent upon machines. She was asked upon admission whether she had an advance directive. She replied that she has a living will and a power of attorney for health care which names her daughter (who does not live in the area) as her health care agent. The patient undergoes surgery, which is successful in treating the underlying problem and does not show any malignant causes, but in the recovery room she has a cardiopulmonary arrest and is resuscitated. She is transferred to the ICU in the care of the on-call physician. The physician attempts to wean her gradually from the ventilator, but this is unsuccessful. Three days later, she has regained consciousness but is still intubated. Though she cannot speak because of the ventilator, she is able to write and asks that the tube be removed. The attending physician tells her that she is dependent upon the ventilator and the patient needs to remain on the ventilator until she can breathe on her own. She writes that she understands that she may die, but she does not want to be on machines. Her only children — a daughter and son — – have arrived. She repeats her wish to them that she wants the tube removed. She writes to her daughter that "I don't want to die, but we all have to die sometime, and I don't want to have to live on a machine. I know that whatever the outcome, God will take care of me." Her daughter tells the physician that her mother is adamant that she be off of machines and she respects her mother's wishes, even if she cannot breathe on her own. She says this is consistent with her previously expressed wishes and her religious beliefs. Her son tells the physician that he disagrees with his sister — since his mother does not have a terminal condition, he can not see why she should not be forced to put up with the ventilator until she can be weaned from it. He feels that she is being shortsighted, and she will be thankful to have been kept on the ventilator when she is finally able to be weaned. Describe the criteria for giving "legal" consent. Were all elements met in this case? In other words, did the patient demonstrate decision-making capacity? Explain

      Q4

      Based on case study above: Is this patient requesting to be euthanized or for her physician to assist in her suicide (PAS)? In your answer describe how the two terms differ

      Q5

      A managed care group may want to market their organization as being "the best" or "a leader" in providing certain services/ treatment. How can this type or marketing effect quality of care and utilization of services, hence costs?

      Q6

      According to Darr, MCO enrollees can be described as either light/moderate users or heavy users. What are some of the strategies that management uses to turn "heavy" users into light/ moderate users? In your personal opinion, what positives or negatives may result

      Q7

      Describe the constraints/challenges that physicians experience as being service providers affiliated with a Managed Care Organization

      Q8

      Give a very brief "real-life" example/instance where drugs/ medical treatment/services were microallocated. And give a "real-life" example of macroallocation

      Q9

      Read the case of Karen Ann Quinlan Explain why this is a case involving medical futility. (Include in your an answer the definition of medical futility).

          Prior to beginning work on this assignment,

          Researchers, managers, and CEOs of healthcare organizations use predictive analytics to determine the application of information gleaned from data and the best practices to implement. In other words, predictive analytics aids in decision making processes associated with, “what to do next.” Using historical data to predict future trends in administrative and clinical care provides management with the best possible solutions during abrupt and long-term decision-making processes. During the strategic planning process, organizations use descriptive analytics, but predictive analytics are important during the strategic planning amendment processes.

          Regression analysis is one of the most used tools for predictive analytics. This allows researchers to determine relationships between variables using a mathematical equation that predicts possible outcomes when/if variables change. Singular linear regression is expressed by two variables and multiple regression is expressed by three or more variables.

          For this week’s assignment, you are tasked with researching predictive analytics and its application to the healthcare delivery system.
