1. Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is an important health organization in the United States. PAHO was created in December 1902, consisting of the United States, Latin American and Caribbean countries. The PAHO was created as a response to the yellow fever outbreak that originated in Latin America and spread to the United States. As of today, the PAHO along with the World Health Organization (WHO), has provided surveillance and support health care services to help with COVID-19 (PAHO 2020). The organization has provided evidence-based documents and strategies to help manage COVID-19 in surrounding areas. PAHO continues to research COVID-19 and other diseases to ensure safety to the public. One of PAHO’s future agendas is to improve national policies and resources to address the shortage of healthcare workers and the distribution of resources to hospitals (PAHO 2020). Research shows that the health field needs approximately 800,000 healthcare works to achieve essential health needs (PAHO 2020). To reach this goal the organization has developed three points of action, which include improving leadership and governance for human health resources, expanding access to health and health coverage, and partnering with education specialist to respond to the needs of health systems (PAHO 2020).

2.  Lately, we all look at the global outbreak of coronavirus and its effects worldwide. One of the crises that I would like to make aware of is the crisis of drug resistance antibiotics and its effects in other countries and the United States.  Bacterial infections have affected and killed patients due to wounds, urinary tract infections, bloodstream infections, and even ventilators’ infections.  The Global Antibiotic Research Development Partnership (GARDP)  is a non- global profit organization that helps create medication therapy that will treat infections that are “drug-resistance” that could pose as life-threatening to the patients’ health.  The goal is to develop modern antibiotics that will treat life-threatening diseases and are non-resistant.  GARDP was formed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is one of the few organizations that the WHO has helped formed to combat the need to develop medication for disease worldwide. (About GARDP 2020) deaths due to drug resistance are estimated at 700,000 a year, and that children and infants die with curable illness. (About GARDP 2020) notes that the rise in deaths due to ineffective drugs has made this a global crisis to the World Health Organization.

3. The World Health Organization (WHO) is a worldwide organization that promotes health, keeps the world safe, and especially serves the vulnerable. When dealing with health emergencies and disease outbreaks, the WHO identifies, mitigates, and manages risks, responds to health emergencies, and prevents emergencies by developing necessary tools for outbreaks (World Health Organization, n.d.). 

Influenza diseases, the most common viruses, are ever-evolving worldwide. In fact, “in the United States, influenza results in approximately 200,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths in a typical endemic season,” according to Taubenberger & Morens (2011, para 2). The WHO consults with groups of advisers to evaluate influenza data a couple of times a year. This data is useful for creating vaccines to treat the influenza virus around the globe. The organization can analyze the virus’s characteristics and compare countries with others based on the spread of infection. As stated by the World Health Organization (2020), “representatives from WHO Collaborating Centres for influenza (CCs) of GISRS” and “representatives from WHO Essential Regulatory Laboratories (ERLs) of GISRS” participate in constructing influenza vaccine by 2021. The WHO prioritizes their values and vision of a world where people obtain the highest level of health in a collective effort to keep the world safe.

Cost Savings Analysis

• Overview; Prepare a spreadsheet of cost savings data showing efficiency gains attributable to care coordination over the course of one fiscal year, and report your key findings in an executive summary, 4–5 pages in length. Information plays a fundamental role in health care. Providers such as physicians and hospitals create and process information as they deliver care to patients. However, managing that information and using it productively poses an ongoing challenge, particularly in light of the complexity of the U.S. health care sector, with its many diverse settings for care and types of providers and services. Health information technology (HIT) has the potential to considerably increase the productivity of the health sector by assisting providers in managing information. Furthermore, HIT can improve the quality of health care and, ultimately, the outcomes of that care for patients.  
• The use of HIT has been upheld as having remarkable promise in improving the efficiency, quality, cost-effectiveness, and safety of medical care delivery in our nation’s health care system. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine how utilizing HIT can positively affect the financial health of an organization, improve patient health, and create better health outcomes. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:  
  • Competency 1: Apply care coordination models to improve the patient experience, promote population health, and reduce costs. 
    • Describe ways in which care coordination can generate cost savings.
  • Competency 2: Explain the relationship between care coordination and evidence-based data. 
    • Describe ways in which care coordination efforts can enhance the collection of evidence-based data and improve quality through the application of an emerging health care model.
  • Competency 3: Use health information technology to guide care coordination and organizational practice. 
    • Explain how care coordination can promote improved health consumerism and effect positive health outcomes.
  • Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with applicable organizational, professional, and scholarly standards. 
    • Present cost savings data and information clearly and accurately.
    • Support main points, claims, and conclusions with relevant and credible evidence, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.
  • Competency Map CHECK YOUR PROGRESSUse this online tool to track your performance and progress through your course.
