Hi AllI just wanted to send an email out to all of you to let you know how impressed I have been overall with the quality of talks that have been prepared for the public. I know many of you have been pushed out of your comfort zones but you have performed well. I am so looking forward to the real ones.Even more impressive was the short talks you all did in the workshop this week I was so impressed with the techniques that were used: from sound to lights to getting people to move in close to short plays. These all created a change in the atmosphere of the room I hope that in the future that this may inspire you to use these techniques to engage whoever you may be talking with in the future. You used techniques that even I have not considered or seen before so well done and I am really proud and happy to say that I learnt something from you all.Big thank-you to all of you.

Sexuality and Legislation
Legislation introduced at both the state and federal levels has the potential to profoundly impact the sexual and reproductive health of American citizens from abortion rights to access to contraception to parental rights for fathers. During nearly every legislative session legislation is written and introduced that deals with a wide variety of sexual health topics. For this assignment students will write a research paper about a particular sexual or reproductive health issue that is of interest to them and the way in which the issue is addressed through legislation. Students should select a particular topic and locate a pending piece of legislation using the following website: http://thomas.loc.gov
Provide a very brief introduction outlining your topic and the sections of your paper.Brief description of the issue: Include a brief description of the issue and any associated medical or health-related information about the particular issue. (Ex: If your legislation is related to abortion you should define abortion and discuss the various types of abortion.)
Outline and discuss significant events in the history of that particular issue. (Ex. If your legislation is related to sexual health education discuss any significant social or cultural shifts court cases federal policies etc.)Currently enacted legislation: Describe the current legislation or protection that exists regarding this particular issue. Discuss how the legislation that is currently enacted is limited what doesnt it do or provide? (Ex. If your legislation is related to gay marriage what legislation is in place related to gay marriage or civil unions? What does the current legislation lack?)
Provide a description of the proposed legislation that you have selected. What do the authors intend for the legislation to do? What does the legislation say about sex and sexuality for the legislations intended audience?Target population for proposed legislation: Describe the target population for the proposed legislation. Include demographic information from a reputable source (ex. Census data CDC etc.). How many people might this legislation affect if it were approved?
Locate at least one advocacy group or organization working in favor of the specific piece of legislation and one working against it. Describe the position of each of these advocacy groups toward the piece of legislation that you have selected. What are their thoughts on the legislation? What arguments do they use? What support do they provide for those arguments?
Discuss your opinion toward the proposed legislation. Do you think it would be effective? Why or why not? Describe any changes that you would make to the proposed legislation to increase the likelihood of effectiveness if passed.

 

Analyze the mortality trends in the U.S. and compare the demographic distribution associated with these trends.

HSA 500Demographic Distribution, Mortality Trends, and Access to Health Care Services. Analyze the growing consumer demographics in a diverse U.S. society in terms of consumer satisfaction with health care services, and provide a rationale for the use of present health services in todays diverse demographical social framework. (This is an interesting topic and I look forward to the discussion. The United States is a diverse country and one size does not fit all. For example, in Florida the demographics are older folks, whereas Alaska, the demographics are diverse and very rural). Analyze the demands and growing trends in new diseases (e.g., heart disease and cancer) affecting the present U.S. population.
Summarize the impact of these demands on available health services. (There are too many examples to list for this discussion. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. The one demand on health care that is in the media is Ebola and the respiratory virus that has killed several children. There is also the swine flu, sexually transmitted disease, chronic disease). Analyze the mortality trends in the U.S. and compare the demographic distribution associated with these trends. Evaluate the importance of societys role in promoting a healthy lifestyle, as well as adopting lifestyle choices.(This will be an interesting discussion. For example, in the 1950s before the polio vaccine was discovered, most children either died or had a physical impediment. I look forward to the discussion.)

Your final project should discuss the following critical elements. Make sure you review your final project before you submit it and make sure it discusses all the critical elements and answers the questions.
Patient History Analysis
a) Did you summarize the patient history explaining key patient demographics and family history that could be risk factors for common diseases?
b) Have you identified the past diagnosis (or diagnoses if more than one exists in the file) and explained how the diagnosis was made? Specifically what tests were done?
c) Did you discuss the symptoms the patient showed according to the file? Did you discuss why and how these symptoms led the doctors to order certain tests?
d) Did you include what alternate diagnosis (or diagnoses) these symptoms could have indicated? Did you use evidence-based resources to support your conclusions?
e) Using supportive details from peer-reviewed resources did you explain the pathophysiology of the diagnosis? In other words how does the diagnosed disease develop and progress in the body?
f) Have you identified the past prescribed medications the patient is taking and explained the purposes of their larger pharmacological groupings?
g) Did you explain what symptoms the specific medications are meant to treat using resources to support your claims about the impact of the medication on the symptoms?
h) Did you illustrate how these medications impact the body and its functions? Did you include examples to support your explanations?Recent Visit Analysis
a) Did you explain why the patient has returned to the doctors office? Did you discuss what symptoms and signs the patient is experiencing?
b) Did you analyze the new symptoms and signs to determine whether the past diagnosis is still a reasonable conclusion or could have been a misdiagnosis? Did you use specific information from both the recent visit and the patient history to inform your analysis?
c) Based on the new signs symptoms and potential diagnosis (if the doctor has made a new diagnosis) did you discuss what new or potential treatments would be appropriate? Why?
III. Identification of Record Inaccuracies
a) The patient file contains several inaccuracies and inconsistencies. Using your knowledge of medical terminology anatomy and physiology did you articulate three issues you have identified?
b) Did you explain in detail what makes the identified issues a problem in terms of patient health and record keeping? Did you use appropriate medical terminology references to anatomy and concepts of normal physiology where appropriate?
c) Did you discuss the impact of the issues on the patient the coding system and the billing system if they had not been caught using the appropriate terminology?
d) Did you illustrate how you would work to address each issue with specific detail regarding who you would pull into the discussion and who would be responsible for the particular details of each issue in a real medical setting?

2. Using the rating system in the Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt (3rd edition) text determine the strength of each of the four (4) studies. Add this information under the Citation column in the evaluation table template.3. Information should be in bulleted format not narrative paragraphs.4. Include a title page and reference page.5. APA 6th edition format is requiredThe PICOT question written in statement form is as follows:In urban African-Americans with hypertension (P) does tele-monitoring blood pressure (I) compared to self-monitoring blood pressure (C) improve blood pressure control (O) within 6 months of initiation of the medication (T)?Where
P- Urban African-AmericansI- Tele-monitoring blood PressureC-Self Monitoring Blood pressureO-Improve Blood Pressure ControlT-Six MonthsFour articles:
Four evidence-based interventions on the treatment of hypertension in adults were reviewed. The first article titled Home Blood Pressure Tele monitoring: Rationale for Use Required Elements and Barriers to Implementation in Canada by Wood Boulanger & Padwal (2017) asserts that the use of home blood pressure monitoring for hypertension diagnosis and management is highly recommended. To help patients adhere to the recommended home protocol they recommended the use of tele-monitoring because its use combined with protocol zed case management leads to statistically significant and clinically important blood pressure reductions (Wood Boulanger& Padwal 2017).
Roesler Binotto Iochpe Palomba & Tizatto (2015) also noted that chronic diseases including hypertension and diabetes should be addressed given an increase in healthcare risk factors such as population aging. They conducted a study to Improve Preventive Healthcare with a User-centric Mobile Tele-monitoring Model and found that by following a steady monitoring strategy over an elderly population and then numerous deaths could be avoided. The article suggests a mobile health promotion designed to monitor remotely a patient’s vital signs in real time (Roesler et al. 2015)
Chen et al. (2013) also evaluated the effectiveness of a home telehealth service in hypertension control. The study used two groups based on the frequency that they measured blood pressure i.e. one group measured its BP more than 3 times a week while the other made less than or equal to 20 measurements a month. It is important to note that some patients were provided with the Citizen Tele-medical Care Service System (CTCS) home monitoring equipment while others used regular BP measurement. According to their results patients who used CTCS tele-monitoring achieved better BP control than those who self-measured BP at home only.
Finally Franssen et al. (2017) asserted that tele-monitoring in the management of hypertension is efficient. They however note that its advantages over self-monitoring are not clear. The study aimed at evaluating whether using self-monitoring results in lower BP compared to tele-monitoring. After randomizing participants to usual care self-monitoring alone or self-monitoring with tele-monitoring for 12 months the study revealed that those who used self-monitoring with tele-monitoring had better control of their BP Franssen et al. (2017).

if you refer to any of these journal articles in answering any of the Skills test questions you probably should use an appropriate referencing system.This will include both in-text referencing and a reference section at the end of the work in question.
A common (and recommended) referencing style to use is the Harvard format – this is the format used in the examples below.
For in-text referencing include the author(s) surname followed by a comma and the year of publication in the following formats:
(Jones, 2011) – if a single author(Little and Large, 2012) – if 2 authors(Legion et al., 2012) – if 3 or more authors – watch the punctuation!!
For a reference section at the end of a work list the articles in alphabetical order according to first author surname. You will also need to include details of author initials, year of publication, title of paper, journal title, volume number and page numbers.
Example (again pay attention to punctuation):
Aardvark, Q. A., Echidna, B. F. and Pangolin, Z. U. (2012) The nutritional benefits to eating ants. Journal of Insectivores 333, 21-45.
