Clearly identify a specific federal policy (the policy must raise issues of federalism because it requires national, state, and local interaction and invites tension across different levels of government), and summarize the elements of the policy, including the problem it is supposed to solve or improve.

The U.S. government’s expansive role in public policy is caught in a swirl of conflicting cross-currents. On the one hand, popular expectations about government’s responsibility to solve problems often exceed the capacity of state and local authorities to respond effectively. On the other hand, policies developed at the national level may not sufficiently reflect the great diversity of interests across the US to be effective at the local level. Moreover, the search for effective policy is further complicated by theoretical debates about the constitutional framework of federalism (e.g., what limits on national power can be derived from the 10th Amendment?).Select a policy issue that is in the middle of these cross-currents between national, state, and local authority. It must be a policy area other than education (the focus of Discussion One in Week Two). Some examples include: federal health care policy (e.g., Obamacare, Medicaid–not Medicare); federal transportation policy (e.g., federal transportation subsidies); federal highway policy (e.g., federal rules about the minimum drinking age, speed limits, or safety); federal urban planning and renewal policy; federal poverty, welfare and unemployment policies; national security policies that intersect/conflict with local police power; and federal disaster planning and relief. These are only examples. The policy area that you select must have a significant federalism component that requires national, state, and local interaction. It should also involve issues with a strong potential for tension or conflict among different levels of government.Research and write an essay on a specific policy in the area that you select. (Note: The word “policy” is used interchangeably with the word “program.”) Your essay must:Clearly identify a specific federal policy (the policy must raise issues of federalism because it requires national, state, and local interaction and invites tension across different levels of government), and summarize the elements of the policy, including the problem it is supposed to solve or improve.Summarize the history of the policy. In your summary, explain how the policy raises issues of federalism.Analyze the main pros and cons in debates about the policy.Evaluate the pros and cons from two perspectives: The policy’s effectiveness. In your evaluation, clearly explain your definition of effectiveness and how it should be measured or determined.The policy’s consistency with the constitutional framework of federalism. In your evaluation, clearly explain your interpretation of American federalism’s constitutional framework and why the federal policy is or is not consistent with it.Follow these requirements when writing the short essay: The body of the essay (excluding the title page and reference page) must be at least 750 words long.The essay must start with a short introductory paragraph which includes a clear thesis statement. The thesis statement must tell readers what the essay will demonstrate.The essay must end with a short paragraph which includes a conclusion. The conclusion and thesis must be consistent.The essay must logically develop the thesis in a way that leads to the conclusion, and must be supported by facts, fully explained concepts or assertions, and persuasive reasoning.The essay must address all subtopics outlined above. At least 20% of the essay must focus on subtopic six, listed above (your evaluation of the various pros and cons about the policy).Your essay must cite at least one academic article found in the Ashford Online Library and at least three other kinds of sources (e.g., Supreme Court opinions, magazine or newspaper articles, the course textbook, and reliable websites).Use your own words.

Write a 3-4 page position paper for the chief’s consideration which outlines your belief as to how patrol resources should be allocated in Centervale.

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Patrol Allocation DecisionsA major challenge for any police administrator is to determine how to allocate the limited resources of the police department to meet the law enforcement needs of the community being served. There is no facet of policing that better demonstrates this challenge than the patrol function. An administrator must not only assess the purpose and capability of the patrol function within the department, but also determine what the patrol will look like in the community, and when and where it will do so. Everyone would like to see a cop drive down their street from time to time. But does everyone need a cop in their neighborhood? What purpose and interests are being served by having patrol officers in one area of town instead of another? Does it make sense to saturate some areas with coverage, even if other areas will go unpatrolled? These are the real choices confronting police chiefs and sheriffs today.Instructions:In this assignment, assume the role of an assistant chief in the Centervale Police Department (CPD). The police chief has asked you to develop a position paper to reflect a patrol strategy for the department which will best serve the needs of Centervale. The chief wants you to consider everything you know about the effectiveness of preventive patrol, directed patrol, broken windows theory, notions of fairness and equity, and other considerations you deem important.Here are some basic facts about Centervale that will help guide your patrol strategy:Centervale is a fairly large, suburban, working class community near a major American city. Your police department includes 100 patrol officers.50% of the population lives north of the railroad tracks; 50% lives south of the railroad tracks.80% of the crime occurs north of the railroad tracks; 20% occurs south of the tracks.20% of the tax base can be found north of the railroad tracks; 80% is south of the tracks (that is, most of the money paying for town services is generated in the south).Crime rates in town go up significantly at night; however, the population of the town goes up significantly during the day (due to an influx of reverse commuters and vibrant retail activity).On average, it takes ten minutes for an officer to arrive to a call when dispatched from the south side of town to the north, or vice versa; however, on average it takes only five minutes to arrive to a call when the officer is already on the correct side of the tracks for the call.What You Need to Do . . .Write a 3-4 page position paper for the chief’s consideration which outlines your belief as to how patrol resources should be allocated in Centervale. In other words, where and when would you place your patrol officers in the community?Further, justify your approach based on current research and existing literature about preventive and directed patrol, notions of fairness and equity, the importance of response times, and any other considerations you deem important.In any case, cite at least two additional sources of information beyond the assigned readings. Feel free to make additional assumptions about conditions within Centervale that are not presented in the assignment (for example, the type of crime that is prevalent in the city). However, if you do so, make sure you state those assumptions up front in your assignment as a note to the instructor.Assignment Criteria:In your paper, be sure to demonstrate:An understanding of current research regarding police patrol functionsThe meaning of preventive patrol, directed patrol, broken windows, and/or other patrol modelsAn understanding of competing legitimate interests within the community and a rational approach toward reconciling these interests despite limited resourcesClear, concise writing which reflects critical thinking skillsSubmission Details:Save the assignment as M3_A2_Lastname_Firstname.doc.

In a two- to three-paragraph posting, select one of these eight stages and identify why this stage is important in the policy cycle.

As noted in the readings, the policy cycle consists of eight stages: agenda setting, problem definition, alternative selection, authoritative decision, policy design, program implementation, program evaluation, and termination or change (Cropf, p. 259). In a two- to three-paragraph posting, select one of these eight stages and identify why this stage is important in the policy cycle. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.

Discuss the primary applications of epidemiology in health care facilities

Epidemiology is the study (scientific, systematic, data-driven) of the distribution (frequency, pattern) and determinants (causes, risk factors) of health-related states and events (not just diseases) in specified populations (patient is community, individuals viewed collectively), and the application of (since epidemiology is a discipline within public health) this study to the control of health problems. The nature of the field of hospital epidemiology is changing. To maintain a good program, one needs to adapt to the changing environment. This means that hospital epidemiology initiatives need to take into consideration the competing priorities of all stakeholders, internal and external. This skill may determine the success of the program as much as any others in the healthcare complex environment. Hospital epidemiologists use epidemiologic methods not only for surveillance, prevention, and control of nosocomial infections, but also for applying these methods in other areas, including the epidemiology of noninfectious adverse outcomes of medical care.Aligned to ULO(s)ULO1: Discuss the primary applications of epidemiology in health care facilities (CLO 1)ULO2: Explain the epidemiologic triad (CLO 4)ULO3: Differentiate the three levels of prevention and the situations when the levels of prevention are applicable in a healthcare facility (CLO 1,4)Many adverse events in healthcare could have been prevented. Epidemiologic principles, used successfully to reduce the risk of nosocomial infections, are also employed to study and manage other adverse outcomes of medical care. Studies of outcomes are also mandated by purchasers and regulators of healthcare, including the Joint Commission and the National Committee for Quality Assurance. Quality outcomes are becoming increasingly transparent.The measurement of outcomes of medical care had attracted considerable attention in initiatives to reform the U.S. healthcare delivery system. Outcomes assessment provides a method for evaluating and managing the quality and efficiency of healthcare.In this unit, assume that you are the Manager at Epidemiology Department in a hospital setting.Initial Post: Prepare a report with the items that should be included into the design of a surveillance program for noninfectious adverse outcomes at your facility. Include all these components: Choose one the following types of noninfectious adverse events at your facility for the surveillance program: Events related to medication administration, such as wrong drug, wrong dose, drug omitted, drug toxicity, allergic reactions, or idiosyncratic reactionsEvents related to procedures, such as noninfectious complications associated with diagnostic or therapeutic proceduresAccidents, such as falls or burnsEvent related to new conditions not identified on admission, such as nosocomial deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary emboli, decubitus ulcer, or myocardial infarctions that could not be linked to procedures or medicationEvent related to equipment, such as equipment defects, malfunctions, or user-related errors.After deciding which noninfectious adverse event to include in the surveillance program, prepare a report about specific items to be included in the program. Be sure to include well-developed, explicit definitions that provide the foundation for consistent measurement across time, place, and other referents (this step will determine, in part, the success of the program). The definitions of the outcomes indicators should be succinct, unambiguous, and constant over time.To insure validity, use criteria that are validates scientifically and reported in peer-reviewed literature. If you are developing new criteria, then describe the process how consensual validation will be obtained, for example, using the Delphi Technique.To insure importance, include measurement of the outcomes that are of clinical significance, or can be changed by clinical intervention.To insure stability, include indicators that can be evaluated over time. If the surveillance program changes criteria and definitions, then the trends cannot be accurately assessed; therefore, criteria should be stable over time. Keep in mind the screening efficiency that includes descriptive characteristic of the criteria, such as sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value.Describe the process of data gathering. The data collected and the processes for collecting the data must be consistent across patients or other referents. This objective can be accomplished by using a standardized data collection tool.The data should be collected in a concise format that will minimize transcribing errors and facilitate easy data entry and analysis.Avoid two pitfalls when developing a data collection tool: be sure to minimize the entry of free text (recording data as text or statements is labor intensive and increases opportunity for error); and be sure to not expect the data collectors to judge on whether outcome meets the criteria or whether an outcome was iatrogenic (these judgments are subjective and causation is better determined through scientific studies).Note the sources of the data to be collected, data storage, and retrieval.Describe the event-specific data. Keep in mind that the surveillance program must convert event-specific data into rates. For example, the frequency of new conditions or accidents can be reported as cumulative incidence (event of interest for 100 admissions per unit of time [month, year]) or reported as incidence density (event of interest per 1,000 patient-days). Rates of procedure-related adverse events or outcomes can be reported as cumulative incidence and reported as postoperative surgical site infection rates (events/100 procedures/unit of time [month, year]). If physician-specific rates are reported, data should be coded to maintain confidentiality. The rates of medication-related adverse outcomes can be reported as cumulative incidence or incidence density (event of interest/10,000 doses administered/unit time).Discuss who should receive the surveillance reports, what should be reported, how often the report should be prepared, and resources to support that surveillance program (support staff).In the concluding paragraph, include two additional long-range objectives of the surveillance program. How the surveillance indicators will be assessed for validity, sensitivity, specificity, predictive value, consistency of data collection across surveillance staff (reliability)How the cost-effectiveness will be demonstrated that it improves the quality and decreases the cost of healthcare (this can be accomplished by documenting that the costs saved by reducing adverse outcomes exceeds the costs of the surveillance program).
