WK 9 Assignment

Assignment: The “Haves” and “Have Nots”: Why Are There Disparities?

Earlier in the course, the different population health outcomes of two culturally and economically similar neighbors (the U.S. and Canada) were considered. This week, the focus shifts to the eastern hemisphere and an examination of health inequalities between and within nations with large, diverse populations.

Both India and China had similar health outcomes at the end of WWII. Unlike India, China’s health improved tremendously over the next 30 years. When it did not have a focus on economic growth, China’s health achievements surpassed India. Since the economic reforms 30 years ago, health progress in China has not been growing as much. Today, India is booming and is home to some of the richest people in the world, but it is also home to more food insecurities than anywhere else in the world.

To prepare for this Assignment, review your Learning Resources this week. Consider how certain large populations within a single political entity can still display disparate health outcomes. Think about how areas such as Kerala can have remarkably different health outcomes than the countries they are in. What makes those areas different from the rest of the country?

The Assignment (3–4 pages):

  • Describe two health outcomes for which India and China have had different experiences in the last half century.
  • Explain the reasons for the disparities noted.
  • Describe the experience for those outcomes in Kerala and suggest reasons for why they are similar or different from the rest of India.
  • Expand on your insights utilizing the Learning Resources.

Use APA formatting for your Assignment and to cite your resources.

Reflect on the need to improve outcomes in healthcare

 

Reflect on the need to improve outcomes in healthcare and consider the following.

  • How might a large cadre of nursing practice and research scholars’ impact change?
  • How might the work of this cadre translate evidence to change practice?
  • How might this cadre lead clinical innovation?
  • In influencing improvement outcomes at your workplace, what strategies can you implement to inspire others to embrace change?   

Instructions:

Use an APA style and a minimum of 200 words. Provide support from a minimum of at least three (3) scholarly sources. The scholarly source needs to be: 1) evidence-based, 2) scholarly in nature, 3) Sources should be no more than five years old (published within the last 5 years), and 4) an in-text citation. citations and references are included when information is summarized/synthesized and/or direct quotes are used, in which APA style standards apply.

Reflection on Learning

  

Week 2: Reflection on Learning

Reflective inquiry allows for expansion in self-awareness, identification of knowledge gaps, and assessment of learning goals. Each week, you will reflect upon what you have learned and complete a reflective journal assignment: Reflection on Learning. Each weekly reflection is placed in one document, which will be submitted for grading at the end of Week 7. There is no weekly reflection in Week 8 because a reflection is incorporated into the discussion question. Please review the Reflection Guidelines and Rubric (Links to an external site.) for complete assignment requirements. Create a document where you will keep your weekly reflection.

Access your reflection document. Reflect upon your Week 2 learning journey in NR701 and consider the following in one or two paragraphs.

· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.

· Why is the information important?

· In what ways will you use this learning?

The purposes of the data collection by the U.S. government. Include information on the impact these scores have on hospital operations, finances, quality, safety. b. Select one specific question (HCAHPS) or care issue from the collated results. Discuss results for your institution for the selected criteria from the nursing unit level perspective compared to the two (2) other local hospitals and state and national data. Include the data you found for this one question. Do not use all the hospitals in your system (LMHS/CHS-HMA/ Bayfront/ HCA). Did you identify a gap in practice that needs improvement and could improve the score? c. Develop a concrete plan to improve the score you selected for change. Remember the information you learned in the IHI courses. The specific steps in the plan you develop must include: • The proposed interventions and timeline for implementation of the interventions • How you will measure the effectiveness or success of your plan (metric) • Timeframe for measurement of results, be specific. Must be related to the metrics you would use to measure success of your plan • a brief description of any tools or projects to be used in the proposed plan and implementation • How you will “promote” the plan to your manager and co-workers to gain support for the project Your paper should reflect your synthesis of the literature you find with appropriate references to support your plan. This will involve investigating patient hospital experience literature and process improvement content and methods. NOTE: You joined the IHI (Institute for Healthcare Improvement) at no charge to access performance improvement tools. This is an excellent resource for your professional practice and in many courses in this and future programs. Starting the CE courses by week 2 will enable you to have the tools and content on process improvement for this paper. 2.
