This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. 

If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?

You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures.

Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.

In this Assignment, you will examine a global health issue and consider the approach to this issue by the United States and by one other country.

To Prepare:

• Review the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global health agenda and select one global health issue to focus on for this Assignment.
• Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this Assignment.
• Reflect on how the global health issue you selected is approached in the U.S. and in the additional country you selected.
• Review and download the Global Health Comparison Matrix provided in the Resources.

The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Global Health Comparison Matrix; 1-page Plan for Social Change)

Part 1: Global Health Comparison Matrix

Focusing on the country you selected and the U.S., complete the Global Health Comparison Matrix. Be sure to address the following:

• Consider the U.S. national/federal health policies that have been adapted for the global health issue you selected from the WHO global health agenda. Compare these policies to the additional country you selected for study.
• Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each policy.
• Explain how the social determinants of health may impact the global health issue you selected. Be specific and provide examples.
• Using the WHO’s Organization’s global health agenda as well as the results of your own research, analyze how each country’s government addresses cost, quality, and access to the global health issue selected.
• Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the health of the global population. Be specific and provide examples.
• Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the role of the nurse in each country.
• Explain how global health issues impact local healthcare organizations and policies in both countries. Be specific and provide examples.

Part 2: A Plan for Social Change

Reflect on the global health policy comparison and analysis you conducted in Part 1 of the Assignment and the impact that global health issues may have on the world, the U.S., your community, as well as your practice as a nurse leader.

In a 1-page response, create a plan for social change that incorporates a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.

• Explain how you would advocate for the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
• Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens might impact your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
• Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice as a nurse leader represents and contributes to social change. Be specific and provide examples

By Day 5 of Week 11

Submit Part 1 and Part 2 of your Assignment.

APA 7 formatting and plagiarism free.

Consider the following scenario: 

During the third week of your internship, the CIO emails your team several examples of other IT project implementations. Later that day, she says, “Review the examples I sent you about the implementation process. I attached a list of questions for you to answer about how the implementation process works and why IT projects sometimes fail. I’m most interested in your analysis of how organizations like ours can minimize the occurrences and effects of IT failures.” 

Read the Case Study—Memorial Health System CPOE Implementation. (attached)

Write a 350- to 700-word paper in which you answer the following questions: 

• What is the typical IT implementation process? What are the roles and responsibilities involved in system implementation? 
• How did the process described in the case study fail to include the fundamental activities of a typical IT implementation process? 
• What are at least five indicators of project failure that manifest themselves in the case study? 
• For each indicator you described, what might you have done differently to eliminate or minimize its effect? 

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

Culture refers to the material traits, norms, and beliefs of social, religious, or racial groups. It consists of either implicit or explicit patterns of behavior transmitted and acquired by symbols, constituting the achievements of certain individuals or groups of people (Spencer-Oatey, 2012). Ethnicity typically refers to a shared way of life and culture, which includes common religion, language, and history. In broader terms, it may also include some physical traits, claimed kinship, religious affiliations, past linguistic heritage, or sense of common ancestry (Donovan, 2019). Lastly, acculturation is a term that refers to the process of cultural contact and exchange; it causes psychological and social transformation, which results in adaptation to the values and practices of another culture (majority culture). At the group level, it can range from the inclusion of another culture’s cuisine to adoption of its ideology, beliefs, and ideas (Cole, 2019). These three terms are somewhat interrelated, as they all are crucial to understanding one’s identity.

Based on the information above, it is possible to state that culture and ethnicity are close to each other in their meaning. An ethnicity shares the same cultural background, and one’s ethnic identity is an important predictor of their cultural values. At the same time, ethnicity has more to do with nationality, common ancestry, and heritage, while culture is an issue that one is taught by other people; it includes traits, social forms, and customary beliefs. However, both ethnic identity and culture may change due to the transformation in one’s self-perception. This process is called acculturation, or evolution of identity. It occurs when a person grows to recognize that the surrounding society’s norms, values, and beliefs are discordant with his/her own. In other words, acculturation is a search of a new ethnic identity. All the three terms, in one way or another, impact one’s cognition and behavior.

Culture, ethnicity and acculturation are often confused yet they have different meanings. Culture refers to characteristic pattern of beliefs, customs and behaviors shared by a certain population group. This means that each group has a culture that differentiates them from other groups. Culture is important to create boundaries and generally accepted behaviors. For example, the culture of Bronx city is different from that of Arizona city. In other words, the two are different in terms of how people relate, behave and even do their activities. Ethnicity is embodied in the culture. Ethnicity refers to common social and heritage that is passed from one generation to another. People can have similar ethnicity but different cultures. Ethnicity therefore classifies a person founded on common ancestry, social and cultural identity, language or race. For example, the US has different ethnicities such as African-Americans, Pacific Islanders, Cherokee community, non-Hispanic whites, among others. These different ethnicities of the US could have similar cultural belief, practices and customs (Romero et al.,2018). For example, people living in the new York City have similar social and cultural beliefs and practices although they belong to different ethnicities. Acculturation is closely related to the culture but completely different from ethnicity. Acculturation is defined as the process by which a person adapts to new cultural beliefs, customers and behaviors. It is however important to note that degree of acculturation of an individual depends on a number of factors. In the US, acculturation is very common especially among immigrants and Mexican Americans. An individual must fully commit to adhering to a particular culture before acculturation.
