Slide 5: Maezie This is my daughter Maezie. We have loved getting to know her. But with my wife and I working full time jobs and not having family in the area, we have had to rely on relatives in our extended families, friends, neighbors, and the occasional stranger and have been constantly reminded that it really takes a village to raise a child. Slide 6: Marriage of Public Health and Primary Care One thing I want you to take away from this talk is that in order to tackle something that is both difficult and meaningful – whether it is raising a child or improving education – you have to involve a lot of people. Simply put, community oriented primary care, or COPC, is the marriage of public health and primary care. It provides a framework that demonstrates...

You will be required to complete a thorough assessment of Rosa Lee or one of her family members, using the Case Study Template below.

Although this is practice for professional writing, this is an academic assignment, thus proper citing throughout is expected. Not properly citing/quoting is a form of plagiarism. Include an APA style title page before the template and include an APA style reference page as well. Please note that on the Case Study Template there is a section for psychosocial information; developmental, family, and current functioning. You are to use information given in this biography of Rosa Lee to complete the psychosocial section.

In the broadest definition of words research includes gathering of data, information and facts for the advancement of knowledge. In meaning research is an organized and systematic way of finding answers to questions. It is systematic because there is a definite set of procedures and steps which you will follow. (There are certain things in the research process which are always done in order to get the most accurate results.) Organized in that there is a structure or method in going about research.( It is a planned procedure, not a spontaneous one. It is focused and limited to a specific scope.) Finding answers is the end of all research. (Whether it is the answer to a hypothesis or even a simple question, research is successful when we find answers. Sometimes the answer is no, but it is still an answer.) Questions are also central to research.( Whether it is the answer to a hypothesis or even a simple question, research is successful when we find answers. Sometimes the answer is no, but it is still an answer.) Research is arguably an important aspect of life especially in our society. The main importance of research is to produce knowledge that can be applied outside a research setting. Research also forms the foundation of program...

His answers were very interesting. The one that I was personally most caught by, was him saying that until graduate school, he had been specializing in European history. This really grabbed my attention, as currently I want to be a European history professor. This project brought to me quite a few thoughts regarding my future, but for all it provided me, it only took a few hours. After conducting this interview, I am still deeply invested in the goal of being a European history professor. My interviewee brought back the idea of challenging the stories we are brought up with, and...

...Introduction Adopting electronic health information systems is never easy for a company when deciding the right time to do so. Companies are realizing now more than ever that electronic health records are imperative when creating strong relationships between patients and healthcare providers. In the history of storing information, healthcare facilities stored only paper files and in only one location. As technology becomes a larger part of the healthcare industry, many providers have made the transition. Health care information systems come such as electronic health records (EHR) and management software. EHRs save a patient's health history. EHRs also contains some of the same information about a patient as a regular medical chart. Scanners and printers also play a role in EHR because of the amount of data that is being transmitted into and from a digital format. Management software allows organization to set appointments and referrals, but does not organize specific information. Selecting and acquiring an information system for any health care organization starts with why the organization is considering it in the first place and where to start. All health information systems consist of the software hardware. Health information technology (HIT) software is utilized on computers by medical staff. Data is often stored and managed off site by the HIT provider. Organizations should consider opportunities, problems and needs by analyzing and planning. Health care facilities that consider...

Selecting an information system is complex and challenging because of the new technology and higher cost. When health care organizations implement an information system then the organization will become more efficient, and deliver effective health care. Implementing new information systems takes a team of individuals with different expertise to plan and manage the information system. Most health care organizations develop a team that has nurses, doctors, office personal, and IT specialist that worked together to keep information systems. Acquisition Process The process of selecting an information systems starts with selecting a project steering committee, and project manager. The project manager will plan, coordinate, organize, budget, and manage the process of selecting and implementing information systems(Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2009).

...labor, finance capital, information, infectious diseases, and trade goods” (Haviland, Prins, Walrath, & McBride, 2008, p. 19). South America and Africa are endowed with rich and highly diverse biological resources. Indigenous people of these countries are gifted with traditional medicinal knowledge of their organic resources. This traditional knowledge reflects the knowledge and beliefs of the local people and the relationship with their environment taught and handed down through generations. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines traditional medicine as: “the sum total of the knowledge, skills, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, whether explicable or not, used in the maintenance of health as well as in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness" ("Traditional Medicine: Definitions," 2000). Traditional medicine has been the indigenous people’s only way of health care for centuries. In this paper, I will highlight the Tsimane’ and the Pygmies. Two societies whose cultures and traditional knowledge have been significantly impacted as a result of globalization. An Amazonian society, the Tsimane’ people of Bolivia have relied for...
