Healthcare Policy and Analysis

Healthcare Policy and Analysis

Policy models provide the framework for moving policy forward. However, not all policy models will be effective for all priorities. Therefore, it is important to appraise policy models with the specific advocacy priority in mind.

For this Assignment, you will choose from three policymaking frameworks, the one that best fits your advocacy priority. You will construct a written response, with evidence, explaining the selected framework, providing specific detail regarding how it is the best fit and will move the priority forward.

Assignment Week 6: Qualitative and Quantitative Article Reviews

Instructions

Week Six Assignments

The assignment for week six will help you develop your critical eye when it comes to reading the literature. The goal is for you to use this as an opportunity to identify the research design and methods that are being carried out by the authors. This skill will serve you moving forward as it will allow you to draw from the literature for your own research moving forward. Looking to the literature for clues can be helpful when it comes to designing your own research as you move forward in the program.

Select two articles from the list below—ONE FROM THE QUALITATIVE LIST AND ONE FROM THE QUANTITATIVE LIST and in two pages double-spaced (per article) address the following:

Include the full reference for the article using the writing style specific to your program on the title page.
1. Criminal Justice = APA,
2. International Relations National Security Military Studies and Intelligence Studies = Chicago.,
3. Since multiple writing styles are in use within this course, on your title page please note which style you are using within your assignment. This will help me cater my comments to the style you are using. The style you use needs to be the one that is used within your program of study.,
State the main goal(s) of the study,
Summarize the research design and discuss the research method(s) used to answer the research question or assess the hypothesis.,
Summarize the results of the study.,
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the study’s research design.,
Provide a discussion on how the study can be moved forward. For example how can the methods be used in your own research proposal? In what other research might these methods apply?, Include two well-phrased research questions that could be used in follow-on studies to the one reviewed.

Format: You should have one-inch margins on all four sides of your papers; your title page should include your name and date; you should use 12-point times new roman font throughout.

Things to keep in mind:

Avoid using the first person in formal writing and instead, write with an academic voice throughout. Academic voice is usually written in the third person (he, she, it), not the first person (I, we) or second person (you). Be consistent in voice and person. See Grammar Girl, “First, Second, and Third Person,” Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing, January 20, 2011. Furthermore, the academic voice avoids abbreviations, contractions, jargon, and slang. Even informal academic discussions are more formal than casual chats among friends. Criminal Justice

The body of your work should be made up of no more than 20% direct quotes.

Note: In the case of a broken link each of these articles can be found either within the APUS online library or on the open web.

Diabetic Compliance

By Academic Wizard Blog

Diabetic Compliance

Compliance in health care is defined as the extent to which a patient’s behavior (in terms of taking medication, executing the lifestyle changes, undergoing medical tests, or keeping appointments with the physicians) coincides with the health care provider’s recommendations for health and medical advice. Noncompliant patients are those whose health-seeking or maintenance behaviors lack congruence with the recommendations prescribed by a health care provider.

Patient noncompliance is a serious health care concern that poses a great challenge to the successful delivery of health care. Diabetes mellitus (DM), the most common endocrine disease in the world, is a major global public health issue.

Address this question:

How can a patient’s gender and ethnicity impact the patient’s compliance as well as the provider’s ethical decision making when caring for a patient with diabetes? Give examples.Diabetic Compliance
