Scholar-Practitioner Project: Create a Digital Dashboard
Without the usability features inherent in effective design, informatics systems may overwhelm a user with data. This portion of your Scholar-Practitioner Project requires that you put to use the informatics display techniques that are covered in this week’s Learning Resources.
To complete this week’s portion of your Scholar-Practitioner Project, create a mock-up screen of a “digital dashboard” for your disease surveillance system. Your text includes examples and ideas for such digital dashboards. Include a framework for the display of data based on the algorithm you designed previously (see note from professor on algorithm below), using appropriate graphics, symbols, and words. Use PowerPoint when choosing to create the screen. Additionally, you may choose to annotate the mock-up as appropriate.
Please save the mock-up in the following formats:
· PowerPoint file: Use “.ppt” extension
(NOTE FROMPROFESSOR ON LAST WEEK PAPER ON SURVEILLANCE ALGORITHM)This is a good start; you have provided a good description of your pathology of interest and the diagnostic algorithm used by the clinicians.  Remember, the idea of this SPP is to develop (try to) a biosurveillance system for your disease/condition of interest.  You have mentioned the algorithm and some covariates; however, you did not address the surveillance algorithm.  Algorithms used in surveillance usually involve decisions based on statistical analyses of data provided (not usually intended for a diagnosis).  Remember, that you do not want to evaluate a clinical intervention or the burden of a disease, the intention of your system is surveillance. Please address the issues marked on your paper.  I am looking forward to reading the next steps of your project

Assignment:
Diabetes and Drug Treatments

Need a least 2 and half  pages, APA style 3 credible sources above 2013.
Diabetes is an endocrine system disorder that affects millions of children and adults (ADA, 2011). If left untreated, diabetic patients are at risk for several alterations including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, neuropathy, and blindness. There are various methods for treating diabetes, many of which include some form of drug therapy. The type of diabetes as well as the patient’s behavior factors will impact treatment recommendations. In this Assignment, you compare types of diabetes including drug treatments for type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.

To prepare:
  • Review this week’s media presentation on the endocrine system and diabetes, as well as Chapter 46 of the Arcangelo and Peterson text and the Peterson et al. article in the Learning Resources.
  • Reflect on differences between types of diabetes including type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.
  • Select one type of diabetes.
  • Consider one type of drug used to treat the type of diabetes you selected including proper preparation and administration of this drug. Then, reflect on dietary considerations related to treatment.
  • Think about the short-term and long-term impact of the diabetes you selected on patients including effects of drug treatments.

By Day 7

Write a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following:

  • Explain the differences between types of diabetes including type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.

Short Paper: Evaluation Of Programs
Technology to Use and How to Promote Information on STSs
By. Kristi Felch
Cases of Sexually Transmitted Infections have increasingly been heard in young people. A study has shown that in twelfth grade, about 65% of the students in high school will have engaged in sexual intercourse and five of them, one might have more than four sexual partners, this became the reason why they are the target and the most vulnerable people to such infections like syphilis, gonorrhea, and others. After high school, the numbers continue to increase. Young people especially teenagers and young adults are caught up in the situation because of the make decisions and act in ways that put them in risks of getting STIs.
Such young people are likely to have many sex partners, usually choose to engage in unprotected sex, most of them are exposed to drug and alcohol abuse and while under the influence of the drugs or alcohol, and they end up engaging in activities that make them vulnerable to contracting STIs. Coming up with statistics of how many STIs that are occurring among young people is not an easy task since many of the infections are silent with no noticeable symptoms. As a result, the only way to diagnose them is through testing. However, routine screening programs are not widespread to mean that no every teenager can access any, social stigma and lack of public awareness is another hindrance for open discussions between the health care nurses and the victims about the risk associated with the infections and why testing is essential. The young generation for this reason, therefore, have always bored a large portion of the burden of STIs. This will paper will talk about the technology, and the outlet used to give insights on STIs health problem to the young people which include creating a program with information to read and audios to listen to and using the blog to market it so that the target population can get information in the comfort of their homes.
To help young people from suffering so much, I will create a blog that will major and round up all the issues related to STIs. In this platform, young people will get educated on matters concerning STIs and any questions they will have will be answered through the blog. The blog will open a platform where questions are received worldwide, and contributions from various experts on the issues are welcomed.
While talking STIs can be beneficial since it is educative, but it is true that the infections come from having unprotected sex and that is why the blog will also involve discussions concerning condoms and their importance as well as when to use and not to use them. The blog will help young people talk freely without the fear of stigmatization from the society since there is no physical contact. Getting used to talking about sex and protection can help the young people open up to their doctors whenever they have problems on their sex life. The more sexual health matters are normalized, the more the victims become ready to open up and be honest about how they feel and the less they will fear other people’s reactions. Through the blog, young get the confidence and believe that even though STIs are transmitted sexually do not make them shameful.
With the information and the knowledge, I have about the STIs, ways of contraction, symptoms and possible ways to prevent them, I will come with a product a pamphlet in nature but a small one containing brief and easy to understand information that touches on all the STIs that exist. The product will be designed to help the teenagers and young adults who are the vulnerable populations for such infections. The book will then be posted on the blog where the target population will have access to it for more information about how to live an STI free life. While some of the answers the young people will be looking at can be answered in the comment box of the blog, more information will be found in the book which will be good for those who would want to expand their knowledge about the infections.
To promote this information, the product will be sold at a low price so that many young people will be capable of purchasing it. Also, since the product aims at changing how young people view STIs as well as learn to live healthy sexual lives, the product will offer a money back guarantee for the users who may feel they have not attained their expected results so after some specified to of use, one can request for their money back which will be refunded without any tussles or huddles. The audios from experts and experienced individuals will be a bonus especially to the users who do not like reading so much. Moreover, the product will be on the internet in a specific website indicated in the blog, and so the target population is assured of purchasing the right product.

 Product Development

 Product Development
Health services continue to affect the gross domestic product, and this dramatic transformation has great demands on each dollar spent to deliver patient-centered products. Health care marketing must be repeatedly applied and practiced strategically to include environmental dimensions, such as technology, socioeconomics, competition, and regulatory.
That being said, in today’s global economy, investors and potential entrepreneurs must tap into the so-called “unexplored” market. In this aspect, health care establishments must utilize marketing, advertising, as well as sales strategies when pursuing new customers (e.g., suppose a health care investor wanted to build a small hospital in a rural community); this would entail exploration and logistical experimentation to determine who will patronize the facility. In an impoverished neighborhood, the feasibility of having lucrative profits may see diminishing returns, and so the venture may be not worth the effort. Also, suppose that the potential investor wants to sell mosquito deterrents (e.g., bedside netting in malaria-infested regions of Asia or Africa); then it would be wise to investigate the number of beds that are actually in the village, and who would be willing to purchase them. These activities take into account the investor portfolio, as well as the feasibility of marketing and selling the product. Such exploration also examines competitors, cultural differences, and—most important—identification of the customer.
Identify a local health care establishment (e.g., hospital, rehabilitation center, emergency medical center) and determine its product development practices. Utilize concepts from previous weeks to substantiate information, as needed. You may develop the discussion based on the ideas presented here, but feel free to inject any salient marketing strategy that you believe might support your presentation.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

  1. Justify the purpose of the selected health care establishments’ product(s) / service (s) and their associated life cycle(s).
  2. Suggest one (1) strategy to improve the marketing mix of the selected health care establishment. Support your strategy by highlighting one (1) benefit of (1) portfolio analysis and providing two (2) examples that display differential advantages.
  3. Assess the importance of technology in providing patients with clear and accessible information about health care organizations and the product(s) / service(s) that they provide.
  4. Outline a survey to capture patients’ expectations regarding the delivery and / or accessibility of product(s) / service(s) identified.
  5. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Analyze how products evolve through the four stages of the product life cycle.
  • Determine the appropriate product succession planning efforts of health care services.
  • Examine the marketing research process and market segmentation strategies in the health care industry.
