This is the video of the ebola virus outbreak

This video discusses “The outbreak of Ebola in West Africa was one of the most deadly health epidemics in recent history. Sierra Leone was the hardest hit by the virus. However, the story of Ebola isn’t just one of mass death; it’s a story of the first responders rushing in to face insurmountable odds, of brothers in arms refusing to quit when all seemed lost. Even while fighting to eradicate the disease, these unsung heroes were treated like pariahs by the very families and communities they were trying to save. The American nurses and doctors who gave everything were criticized for choosing to serve in Africa instead of at home. Despite all this, they continued to fight and stopped the deadliest outbreak in modern history. While the 24-hour news stoked fears of the Ebola virus, these true-life heroes sprinted into this war with fearless abandon. While we closed our hearts and doors to those in need, thousands of West African men, women and children rose up to engage this enemy.”

Social insurance programs have been effective in reducing poverty among elderly and disabled individuals. Social Security, for example, provides a financial safety net for retirees and those with disabilities, reducing their reliance on other forms of assistance. Medicare provides access to healthcare services for millions of elderly and some disabled individuals. This has improved health outcomes for many seniors and alleviated financial burdens related to healthcare(Sherry Glied et al., 2022). Unemployment compensation helps individuals who lose their jobs by providing financial assistance during periods of unemployment, which can stabilize the economy by maintaining consumer spending. These programs serve as a critical social safety net, helping people facing unexpected life events, such as disability or job loss. Social insurance programs can help mitigate income inequality by providing benefits to those in need, particularly in the case of Social Security and unemployment compensation( Greenberg & Page, 2018). Changing demographics, such as an aging population, can place pressure on the sustainability of social insurance programs. As the number of retirees increases relative to the working population, funding challenges can arise. Economic recessions and downturns can strain unemployment compensation programs as more people seek benefits, leading to increased financial burdens on these systems. The effectiveness and funding of these programs can be influenced by political ideology. Some argue for expanding and strengthening them, while others advocate for reducing government involvement and spending.The cost of these programs can be a subject of political debate and fiscal concern, potentially leading to changes in eligibility criteria, benefits, or funding mechanisms. Ensuring the long-term sustainability of these programs often involves adjusting contribution rates, retirement ages, or benefit levels, which can be politically contentious. The effectiveness of Medicare is closely tied to broader debates about healthcare access and costs, which are influenced by socioeconomic factors and political decisions. In essence, the effectiveness of social insurance programs can be seen in their ability to reduce poverty, provide financial security, and act as a safety net during challenging times. However, their sustainability and funding mechanisms are influenced by socioeconomic and political forces. Public policy decisions, demographic changes, and economic conditions all play a role in shaping the future of these programs and determining how well they meet the needs of the population. The effectiveness of these programs will continue to be a topic of debate and policy consideration(Goss, 2010).

Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions.  Please provide evidence-based rationales for your answers.  APA, 7th ed. must be followed.  

Health Assessment

 

A 20-year-old male complains of experiencing intermittent headaches. The headaches diffuse all over the head, but the greatest intensity and pressure occurs above the eyes and spreads through the nose, cheekbones, and jaw.

Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis and justify why you selected each

EVIDENCE-BASED PROJECT, PART 4: RECOMMENDING AN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE CHANGEE

To Prepare:

  • Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised in Module 4, related to your clinical topic of interest and PICOT (attached below)
  • Reflect on your current healthcare organization (Behavioral health hospital-adults) and think about potential opportunities for evidence-based change, using your topic of interest and PICOT as the basis for your reflection (attached below)
  • Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience. 

The Assignment: (Evidence-Based Project)Part 4: Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice ChangeCreate an 8- to 9-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

  • Briefly describe your healthcare organization (Behavioral health hospital), including its culture and readiness for change. (You may opt to keep various elements of this anonymous, such as your company name.)
  • Describe the current problem or opportunity for change (psychiatric related). Include in this description the circumstances surrounding the need for change, the scope of the issue, the stakeholders involved, and the risks associated with change implementation in general.
  • Propose an evidence-based idea for a change in practice using an EBP approach to decision making. Note that you may find further research needs to be conducted if sufficient evidence is not discovered.
  • Describe your plan for knowledge transfer of this change, including knowledge creation, dissemination, and organizational adoption and implementation.
  • Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.
  • Describe the measurable outcomes you hope to achieve with the implementation of this evidence-based change.
  • Be sure to provide APA citations of the supporting evidence-based peer reviewed articles you selected to support your thinking.
  • Add a lessons learned section that includes the following:
    • A summary of the critical appraisal of the peer-reviewed articles you previously submitted (attached below)
    • An explanation about what you learned from completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template (1-3 slides) (attached below)

    Rubric (please follow and read):Part 4: Disseminating Results/ Create a, 8-9-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation of your Evidence-Based Project: Briefly describe the following: your healthcare organization and culture, current opportunity for change, scope of issue, and EBP best practice recommendation. Explain how you would plan knowledge transfer and dissemination. Describe measurable outcomes with the implementation of EBP best practice. Summarize lessons learned. -The narrated presentation fully integrates at least two outside resources and two or three course-specific resources that fully support the presentation. -The presentation is professional; images are appropriately attributed; images are clear.
