Identify and critically evaluate strategies which aim to address health inequality at a community and population level and discuss the effectiveness of these services in meeting childhood obesity.

Childhood obesity

Critically evaluate a national initiative to address childhood obesity in the Uk, focussing on Brighton and Hove.

Health need identified: Childhood Obesity

National initiative identified: Change4Life.

Area of focus: Brighton and Hove

Learning Outcome one: Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of key contemporary public health issues and perspectives including the factors that affect health and wellbeing and evaluate the impact of policy, health economics and ethics in reducing inequalities in health.

Learning outcome two: Critically analyse models of health promotion and their use in public health. (For example, The transtheoretical model of change, Health education, service improvement and Advocacy model (HESIAD).

Learning outcome three: Identify and critically evaluate strategies which aim to address health inequality at a community and population level and discuss the effectiveness of these services in meeting childhood obesity.

This piece of work need to include local and national data to identify that childhood obesity is a public health issue in the Uk and specifically Brighton and Hove. If there are challenges to collect the data, this also needs to be highlighted in the essay to critique.

Tips: The kings fund and the health Foundation are good website that touch on inequalities in healthcare.

All the learning outcomes have to be linked to childhood obesity.

Which health promotion model is best appropriate in tackling childhood obesity and in line with the aim of the CHANGE4LIFE strategy.

What disease or scientific area are you studying,and why was that chosen as your priority area for the health of the public?

Chemical Lumbar Sympathectomies for Non-reconstructable Ischaemic Limb Pain

Assessment Instructions
Your Rapid Literature Review should be 3000 words,(not including references, tables or figures). It should be focussed upon the field you are studying and include the following sections:

Background – what disease or scientific area are you studying,and why was that chosen as your priority area for the health of the public? This should discuss the public health impact of the disease: the extent to which it impacts upon the health of the general public in terms of morbidity, mortality, incidence and prevalence.

Describe how the data in the dashboard could be used by ABC Residential Center to find insights related to their operations or quality of care.

Joint Commission Standards and Dashboards

See attached documents.

Dashboards are data visualizations that healthcare organizations use to measure and analyze data. The Joint Commission (E-dition) sets standards for healthcare quality and safety. One set of standards The Joint Commission created is the National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG), which are designed for different facilities and are critical to maintaining accreditation. In this assignment, you will explore the NPSG standards related to patient identification, which states facilities will use at least two patient identifiers before procedures.

This assignment will help prepare you for your course project through the analysis of data, dashboards, and industry standards.

Note: The Joint Commission standards you have access to are the standards for acute care facilities and not long-term care. In this assignment, the standards for patient identification are the same for acute care and long-term care facilities.

Prompt

Examine the dashboard for ABC Residential Center, which is a long-term care center. Analyze the facility metrics against the national benchmarks and address the following areas. Provide at least two scholarly sources to support your claims.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

Insights from dashboards: Describe how the data in the dashboard could be used by ABC Residential Center to find insights related to their operations or quality of care.

Dashboard techniques: Discuss what visualization techniques (such as using charts and graphs; color coding the data red, yellow, and green; and combining multiple sets of data into one graph) were used by the dashboard to provide a quick, visual way to understand the data presented, and if there are additional techniques you would recommend for the dashboard to use to make the data easier and quicker to understand.

Determining benchmarks: Determine a benchmark for patient identification for ABC (you should review the NPSG standards).

Defend selection: Provide a rationale for your selection of a benchmark.

If you chose a benchmark less than 100%, how would you defend that benchmark to the public?

Meeting the benchmark: Analyze the data in the dashboard to determine if ABC is meeting the benchmark.

Implications: Discuss the implications of not meeting the benchmark.

Justify creating a quality improvement initiative: Justify the creation of a quality improvement initiative using the dashboard and NPSG standards if ABC is not meeting the benchmark (you don’t need to create the quality improvement initiative, rather you need to justify the need for one to meet the benchmark if it is not being met).

Are chemical lumbar sympathectomies an effective last-resort option to treat patients with critical limb ischaemia when alternative options such as the use of analgesia and surgical approaches to achieve perfusion of the lower limb have failed and amputation is indicated?

Project Protocol: Audit and Data Collection for Lumbar Sympathectomies for Non-reconstructable Ischaemic Limb Pain

Are chemical lumbar sympathectomies an effective last-resort option to treat patients with critical limb ischaemia when alternative options such as the use of analgesia and surgical approaches to achieve perfusion of the lower limb have failed and amputation is indicated?

How might the underlying pathophysiology of these conditions affect the pharmacotherapeutics you might recommend to help address your patient’s health needs?

Discussion: Women’s and Men’s Health, Infectious Disease, and Hematologic Disorders

As an advanced practice nurse, you will likely experience patient encounters with complex comorbidities. For example, consider a female patient who is pregnant who also presents with hypertension, diabetes, and has a recent tuberculosis infection.

How might the underlying pathophysiology of these conditions affect the pharmacotherapeutics you might recommend to help address your patient’s health needs?

What education strategies might you recommend for ensuring positive patient health outcomes?

For this Discussion, you will be assigned a patient case study and will consider how to address the patient’s current drug therapy plans. You will then suggest recommendations on how to revise these drug therapy plans to ensure effective, safe, and quality patient care for positive patient health outcomes.

To Prepare

By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.

Also, your Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5

Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP notes have specific data included in every patient case.

With regard to the case study you were assigned:

Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.

Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study you were assigned.

Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s

condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?

Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
