Part 1: Researching Federal Initiatives

There are numerous federal initiatives in place to address current public health issues in environmental health, emergency preparedness and response, and injury prevention. Educating the public and developing health promotion programs are essential for improving the nation’s health and lowering healthcare costs associated with injury and disease.

Using the readings for this week, the South University Online Library, and the Internet, research various federal initiatives that have addressed public health issues. Respond to the following:

• What federal initiatives are in place to address current public health issues? Explain in detail with a minimum of two examples.
• What are the outcomes of these initiatives? Explain with examples.
• Are there some issues that are not being adequately addressed? Explain giving examples from your research.

Part 2: Federal Response to Mass Immunizations

After a natural disaster or an infectious disease outbreak, immunizations are necessary to reduce the risk of infection. This is because immunizations work with the body’s natural defenses to help the body safely develop immunity to a potentially life-threatening disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has established protocols to initiate mass immunizations to reduce the risk and spread of infectious diseases.

Consider the CDC’s public health response to an infectious disease outbreak in the aftermath of a hurricane.

Using the readings for this week and the Internet, respond to the following:

• What is the CDC’s procedure for mass immunizations that are necessary for certain types of infectious outbreaks such as influenza, mumps, and tetanus?
• How does the CDC communicate information on mass immunization clinics to the public?
• What is the procedure for establishing a mass immunization clinic for tetanus in the aftermath of a hurricane because of the likelihood of injuries during the cleanup? Is this similar to the protocol established for influenza? Compare the two protocols.
• What are some of the controversies surrounding such vaccinations?

PowerPoint Presentation:

In the first two written assignments, you selected one  vulnerable population in need of a new program or service in your  community.  In this project, you will finalize the research that allows  you to understand elements that go into designing and launching a  community service.  The Final Project will be written using a persuasive  tone, such that you would be able to present it in order to gain  community and organizational support for your program.  The Final  Project must demonstrate an understanding of the reading assignments,  class discussions, as well as your research and application of new  knowledge.  Your project must contain the following elements:

• A description of the vulnerable population and why they need assistance in your community.
• A description of the health service needs of the vulnerable population you have chosen to serve with your program.
• In order to support the need for the service you propose, cite  statistical data obtained from your county health department, state  health department, and organizations or agencies who serve the  vulnerable population.
• A description of your proposed community service or program; include  the specific service(s) provided and one continuum of care level  (prevention, treatment, or long-term care). Explain how the selected  service(s) and the continuum of care will impact the chosen population.
• Discuss the social and cultural norms of your vulnerable population  and how these play a role in the need for the services offered by your  program. Describe how the vulnerable population experiences the health  care system.  Analyze methods your program can use to overcome social  and cultural differences.
• Identify two or more community organizations or agencies with which  you can partner in order to implement your program. Explain how these  organizations can help you implement the services you offer and the  continuum of care offered by the potential partnering agencies. Explain  which services these organizations will provide to your clientele that  are not covered by your program.
• Analyze at least four potential funding sources for your program,  one of which must be from a state funded agency, one of which must be  from a federally funded agency and the remaining two can be  not-for-profit or for-profit business sources. Explain what factors must  be met in order to receive funding from your sources.

Your final project will demonstrate quantitative literacy,  which shows your ability to identify and solve problems.  Additionally,  you must demonstrate integrative learning, which means you combine your  earlier learning from this and other courses, analyze data from multiple  perspectives, explore issues to their full extent as is required in the  assignment, as well as incorporate your own personal and professional  experiences.

Be detailed and convincing in  describing the above elements.  For your presentation, you may choose  between the following formats:

• A PowerPoint Presentation

The PowerPoint Presentation:

• Must be at least 18 slides in length (not including title and reference slides).
• Must include a title slide with the following:
  • Title of presentation
  • Student’s name
  • Course name and number

  • Date submitted
• Must use at least six scholarly sources, not including the textbook.
• Must document all sources in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
• Must include a separate reference slide, formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
• Must include detailed speaker notes for each slide.
• Must be creative, using images and charts. Remember to cite all images taken from an online resource. Creative Commons (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and Flickr (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. are great websites for open source images.

What I found very interesting about Congresswoman Diane Black is the   wide variety of nursing fields that she worked in prior to becoming a   Congresswoman.  She began her nursing career as an ER nurse,   worked as a long-term care nurse and on an outpatient surgery team   (American Nurses Association, 2017).  These roles and positions   in and out of the hospital setting gave her needed experience and   knowledge to be a competent Congresswoman.  In one of the   hospitals I worked at in Springfield, Illinois, the current CEO rose   from the ranks of a nurse.  He was very compassionate to the   patients and extremely understanding of the staff since he had been a   floor nurse in that hospital himself.  He was very well respected   and had earned that respect.

Our current Secretary of Education appointed under President Trump   is Michigan billionaire Betsy DeVos.  This nomination outraged   many people because she had never held a position within public school   systems.  Her critics feel she wants to privatize the public   education system and grow the charter and private schools (Strauss,   2017).  I feel one reason Congresswoman Black is successful   because her constituents can relate to her and she relates to   them.

To some people, the link     between nursing and politics might seem tenuous to some people, but     to those who have put aside their stethoscopes for an office in     their state capitals, the relationship is a natural one. Nurses are     in the unique position of representing the interests of their fellow     nurses and the health care needs of the general public (Larson, J.,     2016).

Black was elected to     the House of Representatives in 2010 and represents     Tennessee’s 6th district, comprised of 19 counties across     middle Tennessee. She has been a nurse for more than 40 years and her  real-world experiences as a nurse have uniquely       positioned her as a credible and effective leader on health care       policy in Congress. She is focused on fully repealing the       president’s disastrous health care law and advancing true       market-based, patient-centered reforms that will bring down the       rising cost of care by increasing private sector competition and       consumer choice . Black serves as Chairman of the powerful House Budget     Committee and a member of the Ways and Means Committee.     (Blackhouse.gov). She is an advocate of Telehealth and has this to     say about its usefulness. “Telehealth focuses on     harnessing innovative technology to increase convenience for     patients and caregivers, enhance the quality of care and save both     patients and the Medicare program money. In Tennessee’s rural     communities, the wider offering of telehealth services means more     access to care,”. “For patients in suburban and     urban communities throughout the state, telehealth offers the     benefit of reducing the number of in-person visits to healthcare     providers. As a nurse, I am proud to advance this bill so that     Medicare Advantage plans can offer vital telehealth services as a     basic benefit, rather than a supplemental service for our     seniors.” (Press Release, 2017).

It was stated that, under current law, traditional Medical plans     may only cover telehealth services in an extremely limited set of     circumstances, such as when the beneficiary resides in a qualified     rural area and is physically present in a hospital or     physician’s office. The Increasing Telehealth Access to     Medicare Act starts reform with Medicare Advantage, where plans have     an incentive to ensure cost savings.  Estimates have calculated     that a telehealth consultation can save the Medicare program $45     versus an in-person visit (Press Release, 2017).

She authored the bill on     “Increasing Telehealth Access to Medicare Act (H.R. 3727),     which was unanimously passed in the U.S. House Ways and Means     Committee.  This bill will increase access to     telehealth services for Medicare Advantage enrollees and allows     plans to build as a core part of their care model. This congressman     must be very influential for this bill which she presented to have     passed the house. It is very interesting to know that those with     medicare can now have access to telehealth all because of the     influence of this powerful nurse. With this development, more nurses     should be encouraged to join politics as they are better advocate     for the people.
