Technological Advances Essay   Technology in health care has taken many forms over the years. In 1796, Edward Jenner developed the first smallpox vaccination method. A hundred years later, Wilhelm Rontgen discovered how to use x-rays for medical imaging. And in 2013, Japanese researchers grew the first human liver from stem cells. What is next? How does one technological advance set the stage for further discoveries? For this assignment you will compose an analysis of 700-1,000 words incorporating the following: Evaluate at a minimum of two different historical perspectives regarding the delivery of health care in the United States. How has technology and the lack of developing technology affected and shaped these perspectives? Contrast and describe two technological advances that have positively impacted health care delivery in the United States. Explain how the two technological advances you selected have influenced public opinion of the changing health care system in the United States? Provide a brief summary of both positive and negative opinions. Forecast how you believe these two technological advances will affect delivery and utilization of health care in the United States in the future. What other factors may simultaneously affect health care utilization?

Write a 500-word brief that provides an overview of the technology, its purpose, and how it would function in a health care setting

Some consider the power of health professionals, especially physicians, crucial to the health policy process.  What unique perspectives do health professionals bring to the table?  Are there negative forces at play?  What, then, should be the health professionals’ role in leadership for health policy reform?   As the providers of health care, what do practitioners (including physicians and nurses) want to see in further health reform?  What characteristics of reform rise to their top priority?  Is their perspective in harmony with what patients and insurers want most?

COVID-19 Reporting Activity In 350-450 words, respond to the following prompt. Be sure to have citations and references in your post.  PROMPT Due to this being a current news item, let’s explore how hospital data are aggregated and reported. This is a great time to work outside of news stories, using critical thinking to explore the work of various government agencies, especially in the realm of informatics and data aggregation for public health.  Guiding Questions: What is the CDC? What is HHS? How do they have different missions and how do they overlap? What is the National Healthcare Safety Network? What is its purpose? What are its pros and cons? What is the purpose of collecting, aggregating, and reporting hospitalization data?   Use the Following Steps: Start by reading about the shift from hospital capacity switching from the U.S. CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network to a new portal developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: News report: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/20/hhs-unveils-new-coronavirus-hospitalization-database-says-its-more-complete-than-cdcs.html  (Links to an external site.) Joint press release: https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2020/07/15/prepared-remarks-from-hhs-media-call-cdc-director-redfield-cio-arrieta-covid-19-data-collection.html  (Links to an external site.) Next read about these two different governmental units and how they collect health data, specifically COVID-19 data: About the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/about/organization/mission.htm  (Links to an external site.) About HHS: https://www.hhs.gov/about/strategic-plan/introduction/index.html  (Links to an external site.)  (also see its org chart and the 4 goals of its strategic plan) About the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network: https://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/about-nhsn/index.html  (Links to an external site.) About HHS Protect: https://protect-public.hhs.gov/pages/about  (Links to an external site.)  and https://www.fedhealthit.com/2020/05/news-info-park-hhs-protect-palantir-healthcare-data-project-for-coronavirus/  (Links to an external site.)   Posting Format: Make sure to remain professional and scientific in your responses. Disparaging comments about groups or individuals will not be accepted. Simply compile the facts that you investigate and make a decision. Also, be sure to be collegial in your replies to classmates.  Methods: Post to the discussion board about the information you’ve collected surrounding the purpose and aims of both HHS and the CDC. Describe where there is obvious separation and overlap. Describe the NHSN, HHS Protect, and Palantir Technologies. Results: Now,  address both of the following: The (1) pros and (2) cons of hospitalization (and other COVID-19) data going directly to HHS Protect or through CDC’s National Safety Network. For those of you who have worked in healthcare, are there pros and cons to switching systems? Are there differences in your relationships with different government agencies? Conclusion: Ultimately, after doing your assessment, provide your final conclusions as to where the data should go and how it should be routed. Be sure to check out current updates and news about how the transition has gone and how much better, worse, or the same this new shift is to collection and reporting of hospital availability data.

For this discussion, you will examine information and data from the SWOT analysis you conducted in Week 2 and learn how that information and data can be applied to the Environmental Analysis section of your marketing plan for the Final Project. To prepare for this discussion, read Chapter 5 of the course text. It is also recommended that you review Chapter 4, which was read last week. The creation of a successful strategic plan is derived from researched data; in particular, applicable data can be obtained from a SWOT analysis. Review section 5.4 of the course text, which presents examples of environmental analysis, both internal and external, for a hypothetical nursing facility. Examine the strategic plan of the HCO you have chosen for your Final Project and the results from the SWOT analysis that you performed in Week 2. Then, in your initial post, address the following questions: What external and internal environmental analysis data could be applied to the marketing plan you are developing for your Final Project? How will the environmental analysis support the marketing plan to fulfill the organizations strategic objectives?
