Electronic Medical Record System
This unit’s discussion will focus on sharing experiences that you have encountered so far in utilizing the EMR system in your pediatric clinical rotation. You should address how the system promotes safety, improves patient outcomes, monitors growth and development and includes pediatric-specific recommended core functionalities in Pediatric Electronic Health Records. Include your appraisal of the system and the Core Functionality in Pediatric Electronic Health Records. Please post your initial response and respond to your
Cost-benefit analysis
Compare and contrast a cost-benefit analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis. Summarize the purpose, strengths, limitations, and assumptions that underlie each approach. Discuss how to apply these approaches in public health policy development, citing an example for each from the research literature.

Community health needs assessment
Activity 1: Conducting a Needs Assessment
Based on what you have learned about conducting a needs assessment, and the community you have determined to use, design a needs assessment survey. Use the checklist to help focus your survey.
Activity 2: Determine who will complete the survey and how it will be conducted. Your team will carry out the survey with the identified population. Be sure that the population is appropriate for the survey and for the assessment that the chosen community needs.
Activity 3: Conducting Focus Groups
Together develop standardized interview questions to use with focus groups to determine needs of the community. Use the checklist and examples to help focus your discussion.
Be sure that the focus group questions are relevant to the problem and audience.
Project Assignment:
Conduct a needs assessment of a chosen community (may be local, a city, or even a state). The needs assessment should be thorough and follow the guide in the Community Tool Box
It should also include a survey of a minimum of 20 participants in the targeted audience and a focus group.
Public policy issue
Choose a public policy issue that has an ethical component. Use a code of ethics relevant to public administrators to frame an ethical position that would be appropriate for a public administrator to take on that policy issue. Explain why the code of ethics you chose is appropriate.
I think maybe a good topic is Covid? Something current 🙂
Pay close attention to the requirements.
First identify a public policy issue and define it.
Then identify the ethical component of the issue and explain why there is an ethical component.
pediatric patient health outcomes
The focus of this assignment is to increase your knowledge and understanding of how informatics, specifically the electronic medical record, improves the pediatric patient health outcomes. Caring for the pediatric patient has unique elements that are not applicable in the adult population. Examples are growth and development surveillance, vaccine records, transitional changes that affect “normal findings” by age group. For example, the normal respiratory rate of a newborn is significantly different from a 10-year-old. Additionally, pediatric healthcare providers are expected to educate parents with “anticipatory guidance” according to the age of the patient. For this assignment, you are expected to analyze the utilization of the EMR that you are using in your clinical practicum and evaluate how this particular EMR system is improving health outcomes. For example, does the EMR that you are using have mechanisms in place that track growth and development, which has led to early identification of abnormals?
