What information presented in this article was most surprising to you about disease burden?
This discussion focuses on the concept of disease burden, which you will learn about in-depth in Chapter 3 of the eText attached.
For this discussion, in addition to Chapter 3, please refer to the “Global burden of 87 risk factors in 204 countries and territories” article provided in the Module 2 Learning Resources folder. Read the article summary and peruse the article.
This is a one-page perusal of both articles to answer the three questions below.
1) What information presented in this article was most surprising to you about disease burden?
2) Why was that information surprising?
3) In your own words, explain how disease burden is measured and how it is used to define global health.
Explain why it is critical for professionals and healthcare organizations to have a collaborative and innovative culture
As a nurse or healthcare professional, it is important to realize that healthcare Information Technology is part of our daily living no matter which side you are on (love it or leave it). Whether as a patient or professional, you will inevitably be exposed to and interact with the system.
Therefore, which ‘side’ you are on ultimately does not matter. You must understand the steps and processes to implementation. The transformation must be embedded both at an individual, organizational, and corporate level. Indeed, it is possible that as a Master prepared healthcare professional, you might be the one responsible for creating a “tech- friendly” environment.
The text and this site explore how to create an engaging informatics culture: Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society. (Note: “Nurse” in this article may be substituted by “Healthcare Professional”).
Evaluate the importance of one of the foundations for Creating an Informatics Culture. Include the following aspects in the assignment:
a) Explore the steps to support Digital Transformation
b) Explain why it is critical for professionals and healthcare organizations to have a collaborative and innovative culture
c) Create a model, using any tool you wish, to initiate an Informatics Culture in a health care organization (examples of models are found here – if you choose one, you must personalize it)
d) This is not a formal paper and there is a 2 page minimum length. Each bullet must be thoroughly explored. At all times, proper sentence structure, grammar, and spelling are required. Grammarly is a free tool to assist you. All references must be placed.https://www.himss.org/news/developing-engaged-nursing-informatics-culturehttps://www.himss.org/news/developing-engaged-nursing-informatics-culturehttps://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS838US838&q=model+to+integrate+informatics+culture&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwitjrn3vYvkAhXyna0KHZgYDTkQsAR6BAgFEAE&biw=1366&bih=657https://www.grammarly.com/

Assignment:
A high-volume warehouse has over 100 order pickers. The company requires supervisors to track staff productivity to ensure that employees “make rate” or pack a minimum number of boxes per hour. The system in use automatically tracks each staff member’s productivity by recording the time each box is finished packing when the staff member scans the barcode on the box. The system automatically generates warnings that are routed to the employee when productivity falls below a set threshold as well as termination suggestions. The bottom 5% of employees are automatically placed on a training plan. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that the warnings and terminations are accurate and appropriate action is taken such as reprimands, additional training, or termination activities. The company has highlighted its high productivity and efficiency as a key differentiator in company success. The company has communicated its strict standards more widely. “Associates must be detailed and efficient in processing each order.” To ensure that efficiency continues, the company has developed “a proprietary productivity metric.” The company says those goals are set objectively, and that they’re based on metrics like customer demand and location.
Do you believe this automated productivity tracking system is overall positive or negative? Clearly state and explain your opinion. Back up your opinion with evidence.
You make take either position from either the company leadership, line-level leadership, or worker perspective.
Explain the relevance of each article to the proposed study
Stage 2: Write the following portions of your research paper: Introduction, Method, References, Appendix. Make sure you follow the APA guidelines for a professional paper. The following steps outline the systematic organization of the body within each of these sections.
1) Introduction: remember you use the title of the paper in title case, bold, and centered (2.11; Figure 2.4). Also include a running head and page numbers. Note both the title and running head should reflect your study’s topic – NOT that is it a phase or part of a class. You are already expected to be able to write at the graduate level in terms of grammar, syntax, and using your own words (no quotes or just switching out a few words – you must reword ideas and summarize other research). However, we are now also honing scientific writing skills. Thus, there is no page or word minimum. Be concise yet detailed. Do not be redundant or opinionated. There is a specific flow to all quantitative research articles. The body of your introduction should contain the following information IN THIS ORDER:
a. Frame the importance of the problem (3.4) – begin by clarifying the objective – whether it be theoretical, potential application, input for public policy, et cet..
b. Discuss at least 5 relevant articles (1 – 2 related to your survey; four selected by you). Quotes are NOT allowed in this course – use your own words. This is to:
i. Provide a scope of the problem and its context
ii. Theoretical or practical implications
iii. Emphasize pertinent findings and major conclusions (make sure you use in-text citations and that all citations are included in the Reference section).
1. Describe similarities and differences among the research reviewed
2. Explain the relevance of each article to the proposed study
3. Discuss relevant methodological issues
c. Note: this section will be multiple paragraphs, but it should NOT consist of an article per paragraph – use the articles you’ve chosen to provide an overview of the problem and ultimately, to justify your research idea. Always use a topic sentence to express the main idea for each paragraph (topic sentences rarely include citations). If the next paragraph does not flow easily, use a transition sentence at the end of the previous paragraph.
d. In the final paragraph of your introduction (and NOT before this!), state the purpose and rationale for your proposed study.
i. State the problem (which is always a lack of information or contradictory findings in the field) and a rationale for further exploration. (This should be justified based on what you wrote in earlier paragraphs).
ii. End the Introduction by explicitly stating the alternate hypothesis (people do not state the null hypothesis in research articles, although remember that is what you are statistically testing!!). You also do not write the words “alternate hypothesis”. Rather, you can write something along the lines of “It is predicted that there is a relationship” or “It is hypothesized that there is a difference…”
iii. Remember “relationship” implies one type of statistical test whereas “difference” implies a different type of statistical test – so use the words to reflect what type of statistical test you’ll conduct!
2) Method: Continue with your use of proper formatting, noting that the Method does not start on a new page, rather it begins immediately after the last sentence in your introduction. Don’t forget to use the APA Manual as a guide. Level 2 headings for your Method section must include (in this order and in APA format):
a. Participants – include the number of participants, a description of the participants, and sampling procedures
b. Materials – include a description of the survey questions used, including citations where appropriate (e.g., if you use spirituality you should cite Hodge, 2003). Don’t include assumed items (e.g., pencils to complete a survey).
c. Procedure – summarizes where the study took place (e.g., church, small group, Facebook) and the experience of the participants in a detailed and organized manner – this will be very short.
d. Analysis – state how the variables are operationally defined (e.g., responses to the seven questions affiliated with anxiety are averaged, ranging from 1 – 7, with higher numbers indicating greater anxiety), alpha value (we always use 0.05), what statistical test will be used to answer the research question (e.g., independent samples t-test), and what version of SPSS is being used to analyze the data. Hint: Due to the brief nature of the course, the statistical test is most likely one reviewed in the first few weeks of PSYC 515 that was covered also in PSYC 510.
3) References: 5-6 entries minimum following guidelines stated above. Use Sections 9 – 10 in the APA Manual for proper formatting.
4) Appendix: Include a copy of your approved survey in an Appendix as the last page of your single word document (see Section 2 in the APA Manual).

do you agree that looking at an aged photo of yourself will motivate you to save more? Why or why not?
Look at the video below:
Here, Goldstein argues that one of the reasons that 2/3 people don’t save for old age is that it is hard for us to connect between our present self and our future self.
“You are basically two persons: your present self and your future self”, according to Goldstein. Your present self listens to the here and now, wants to satisfy his needs immediately. Your future self also wants to live and would like your present self to be a little wiser. So, opposing interests. The power of Now vs the importance of Future.
Here are a couple of written articles that relate to Goldstein’s research:
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/25/the-selfie-that-could-make-you-a-rich-retiree.html (Links to an external site.) this selfie could help turn things around
Question: the last article above, “this selfie could help turn things around”, suggests that using virtual software such as FaceApp (or Oldify or AgingBooth) to produce an aged photo of yourself 40 years from now will motivate you to save more for retirement. Thinking about yourself, do you agree that looking at an aged photo of yourself will motivate you to save more? Why or why not?
