Discuss how the disease outbreak might have been avoided or mitigated.

Let me know if you can help and how much. Need it by tomorrow noon west coast time.

FYI –

I notice my Return score is at 46% – Last year one tutor tried to give me substandard work.  It appeared English was not her first language I gave her a couple of chances to fix, but it was evident this was not going to work. I am not sure why it is a mark against me.

 

Let me know how much if you can do this for me.

 

Just needs to be a page or two. Citation and References APA

I have a discussion post due 

  • Identify the emerging or reemerging infectious disease you selected.
  • Discuss the investigative process used to identify the outbreak, and describe its effect using descriptive epidemiology (person, place, and time).
  • Apply the epidemiologic triangle and vector theory to your selected outbreak.
  • Evaluate how prior health care interventions, or lack thereof, created the conditions that allowed this infectious disease to emerge.
  • Discuss how the disease outbreak might have been avoided or mitigated. Include agencies, organizations, and resources that could have supported these efforts. If appropriate, consider ongoing efforts to control the outbreak

How is quality measured in long-term care?

Regulations in Long-Term Care

There are many federal and state regulations when it comes to long-term care. Using the South University Online Library and the Internet, research any four specific regulations related to long-term care and summarize them.

Based on the regulations you identified, respond to the following questions:

  • What are the benefits and shortcomings of your identified regulations? Which of these shortcomings have an effect on the quality and the cost of health care services? How?
  • Do you believe there is a link between regulations and better care? Why or why not?
  • Why do you think long-term care services are subjected to so much external control by government agencies? Provide a rationale for your responses.
  • How is quality measured in long-term care? Is there only one, or are there several approaches to measure quality? What are they? Who should be given the responsibility to measure quality?
