Locate a person who was not born in the United States and who lived a significant part of his or her life outside the U.S, then immigrated to the U.S. (A person who came to the United States as an infant will not meet the requirement for the assignment.) Ask the person’s permission to use his or her name and quotations in the paper, and ensure that their name is spelled correctly.
Use the questions in “Resource 1: Intercultural Communication Interview.” Review the questions ahead of time and think about how well your words and your accent will communicate with the person, depending on his or her facility with English. Find out about the person’s experience as an immigrant.
Write an essay of 500-750 words about the experience. Do not write it as a verbatim account of the interview. Use quotes as needed, but write the paper as an essay. Where did you meet the person? How long did you visit? What did you learn?
Reflect on how much this experience stretched your comfort zone and how this observation could affect your intercultural communication. If you were going to do this assignment over, what could you do that would make it more valuable to you and, perhaps, to the other person?
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Aggregate ProjectHealthy People 2020: Aggregate Health Disparities Report
Assignment Guidelines
Directions: This is an individual presentation. The grade is derived from the Power Point presentation content that addresses all of the criteria below.
Objectives:
Use the concepts of aggregate at risk and health disparities for assessing needs and planning care.
Determine the effects of social political economic and cultural systems on the health disparity of the at-risk aggregate.
Determine the health status of the at-risk aggregate by interpreting demographic epidemiological and statistical data.
Demonstrate an understanding of how and why the resources available to U.S. citizens vary among aggregates and how this could contribute to a disparity.
Analyze current research concerning the at-risk aggregate including Healthy People 2020.Formulate three prioritized outcomes with intervention strategies at each level of prevention (primary secondary tertiary) for the at-risk aggregate.
1. Select an at-risk aggregate and examine the aggregate in regard to the following areas:
Demographics Epidemiological and Statistical data for the at-risk aggregateHealth status including prevalent health problems of the at-risk aggregateSocial political economic (how and why economic factors vary) and cultural factors affecting the aggregateHealth beliefs and practices; use of alternative or complementary therapiesHealthy People 2020 (Links to an external site.) National Objectives related to the at-risk aggregateCDC Sortable Stats (Links to an external site.) is an interactive data base with data on 31 Behavioral Risk Factors ) provides easy access to extensive public health data on a state/region and enables comparison with other states/regions and the nation.
2. The student will develop a prioritized plan of care for the aggregate.Here are some tips to get you started on the Health Care of an Aggregate Assignment:Specify if you are focusing on Prevention or the Management of a condition (e.g. prevention of diabetes in Latino teens between the ages 13-18 attending SeminoleCounty Schools; versus management of diabetes in Latino teens between the age of 13- 18 attending Seminole County Schools)
Introduce the at-risk aggregate and the associated disparity. Include the demographics epidemiological and statistical data. Pictures and graphics add to thepresentation. Be sure to cite the sources of these materials and be aware of copyright issues!!Proceed to the health status prevalent health problem/disparity.
Delineate the social factors; political factors-include any key legislation at national level; economic factors answer how and why resources vary; cultural factors-include the health beliefs and practices and use of alternative and complementary therapies in the cultural factors section. Add in specific Healthy People 2020
(Links to an external site.)objectives and supporting statistics related to the at-risk aggregate.Identify the prioritized problem need risk list you only need three; write these problems needs risks as outcomes for the aggregate.
Develop the plan of care (intervention strategies) at each of the three levels of prevention primary secondary tertiary. -Remember that you writing the plan in the role of the publichealth nurse.
Be sure to consider development stages of your target population. (e.g. teaching a group of 1st grades about preventing obesity will be quite different from teachinga group of 5th graders versus students in junior high)

 

Davis had just completed an intensive course in Statistical Thinking for Business Improvement which was offered to all employees of a large health maintenance organization. There was no time to celebrate however because he was already under a lot of pressure. Ben works as a pharmacists assistant in the HMOs pharmacy and his manager Juan de Pacotilla was about to be fired. Juans dismissal appeared to be imminent due to numerous complaints and even a few lawsuits over inaccurate prescriptions. Juan now was asking Ben for his assistance in trying to resolve the problem preferably yesterday!
Ben I really need your help! If I cant show some major improvement or at least a solid plan by next month Im history.Ill be glad to help Juan but what can I do? Im just a pharmacists assistant.I dont care what your job title is; I think youre just the person who can get this done. I realize Ive been too far removed from day-to-day operations in the pharmacy but you work there every day. Youre in a much better position to find out how to fix the problem. Just tell me what to do and Ill do it.
But what about the statistical consultant you hired to analyze the data on inaccurate prescriptions?Ben to be honest Im really disappointed with that guy. He has spent two weeks trying to come up with a new modeling approach to predict weekly inaccurate prescriptions. I tried to explain to him that I dont want to predict the mistakes I want to eliminate them! I dont think I got through however because he said we need a month of additional data to verify the model and then he can apply a new method he just read about in a journal to identify change points in the time series whatever that means.
But get this he will only identify the change points and send me a list; he says its my job to figure out what they mean and how to respond. I dont know much about statistics the only thing I remember from my course in college is that it was the worst course I ever took but Im becoming convinced that it actually doesnt have much to offer in solving real problems. Youve just gone through this statistical thinking course though so maybe you can see something I cant. To me statistical thinking sounds like an oxymoron. I realize its a long shot but I was hoping you could use this as the project you need to officially complete the course.
I see your point Juan. I felt the same way too. This course was interesting though because it didnt focus on crunching numbers. I have some ideas about how we can approach making improvements in prescription accuracy and I think this would be a great project. We may not be able to solve it ourselves however. As you know there is a lot of finger-pointing going on; the pharmacists blame sloppy handwriting and incomplete instructions from doctors for the problem; doctors blame pharmacy assistants like me who actually do most of the computer entry of the prescriptions claiming that we are incompetent; and the assistants tend to blame the pharmacists for assuming too much about our knowledge of medical terminology brand names known drug interactions and so on.
It sounds like theres no hope Ben!I wouldnt say that at all Juan. Its just that there may be no quick fix we can do by ourselves in the pharmacy. Let me explain how Im thinking about this and how I would propose attacking the problem using what I just learned in the statistical thinking course.

Quality Progress (June 1997): 6780.Assuming the role of Ben Davis write a two page paper in which you apply the approach discussed in the textbook to this problem. Youll have to make some assumptions about the processes used by the HMO pharmacy. Also please use the Internet and / or Strayer LRC to research articles on common problems or errors that pharmacies face. Your paper should address the following points:
PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AND NUMBER EACH ANSWER:
1. Develop a process map about the prescription filling process for HMOs pharmacy in which you specify the key problems that the HMOs pharmacy might be experiencing. Next use the supplier input process steps output and customer (SIPOC) model to analyze the HMO pharmacys business process.
2. Analyze the process map and SIPOC model to identify possible main root causes of the problems. Next categorize whether the main root causes of the problem are special causes or common causes. Provide a rationale for your response.
3. Suggest the main tools that you would use and the data that you would collect in order to analyze the business process and correct the problem. Justify your response.
4. Propose one (1) solution to the HMO pharmacys on-going problem(s) and propose one (1) strategy to measure the aforementioned solution. Provide a rationale for your response.
5. Use at least two (2) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
