The purpose of this assignment is to create an educational risk management presentation.

Building upon the outline for an educational session you created in the Educational Program on Risk Management Part One: Outline of Topic 2 assignment, develop a 12-15 slide PowerPoint presentation that expands in greater detail on how and why your organization should implement your proposed risk management strategy. Incorporate any instructor feedback from the Topic 2 assignment into this presentation and include talking points in the speaker notes section of each slide.

Keep in mind that the PowerPoint is meant to serve as a visual aide to bolster your presentation and is intended to highlight main ideas and key points. Do not use dense blocks of text or more than 7 bullet points of text per slide.  However, you may include supplementary images, graphs, and data where relevant.

To successfully complete this assignment, include the following sections as per your outline from Topic 2, though you may include any additional sections as needed:

1. Introduction
2. Rationale
3. Support
4. Implementation
5. Challenges
6. Evaluation
7. Opportunities

You are required to support your statements with a minimum of six citations from appropriate credible sources.

Having examined health information technology, it is important to also be thinking about the related ethical implications of these innovations.  

To begin this discussion, let’s first make a distinction between morality and ethics.

When we talk about morality, we are talking about our beliefs in right and wrong. So for example, most of us believe it is morally right to give everyone a fair chance and it is wrong to discriminate based on race, ethnicity, or gender.

But while ethics also deals in the realm of right and wrong, it doesn’t really come up until I am asked precisely WHY I think it is morally right to be fair.

In other words, whereas morality is all about right and wrong, ethics is all about the underlying logical reasons why we should act in a certain way.

Or:  Ethics is the thinking behind our morality that gives us the solid REASONS for believing our behavior is morally right.  

So, with that distinction in mind, this week’s discussion is asking us to do more than simply state our feelings about the rights and wrongs of healthcare technology. Rather – We need to be looking at the underlying ethical reasons for WHY we think that way.

As an example, consider the whole issue of personal privacy and then ask whether the Government has the right to collect health-related information about each of us through a special ID number issued at birth?

Off the top of your head, what do you think:  Yes or no?

Your answer to that question reflects your moral sense about the rights of the individual versus the rights of the government as a representative of the larger society.  

But now, let’s look at the “ethics” of your answer. To do that, you must explain WHY you have come to your particular judgment about the relative rights of the individual, the government, and the society as a whole.

Saying such things as “Because I think so,” or “Because it’s obvious,” and “Because I don’t like the government mucking around with my personal information” are all insufficient answers. We need to dig much deeper to actually explain WHY we think that the centralized collection of health data by the government is an ethically good or bad idea.

So how do we do that?

To start, we need to develop some basic rules of ethical thinking.

The good news is that a lot of really thoughtful people have already done a lot of work on developing these rules AND they had the good graces to write them down for us to read.

The most general rules for ethical thinking in health are called “Clinical Ethics.” There are four basic principles or pillars of clinical ethics that you can learn about here: Clinical Ethics.

A more specific set of ethical principles designed just for healthcare managers has been developed by the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). You can read about the specific ethics governing our profession here: ACHE Ethics.

After reading both sets of ethical principles, let’s now revisit the question about government collection of health information by identifying why we think it is right or wrong BASED ON CLINCIAL ETHICS AND THE ETHICAL CODE OF OUR PROFESSION. In other words, why do we think it is right or wrong based on the application of clinical and ACHE ethics to this situation?

So that’s what this week’s discussion is all about – an ethical discussion about health information technology.

Let’s discuss two ethical questions.

First, let’s continue our thinking about the government’s right to healthcare information. More specifically, does the government have the right to assign each person born in the US a unique health identifier and then collect and store all your personal health information in a centralized data base? To help your thinking, consider how useful such a data base could be in determining the effectiveness of different clinical techniques, controlling epidemics, and strategic planning to best meet a community’s healthcare needs. On the other hand, are such benefits outweighed by the risk that such personal information might be misused to discriminate against people who might have cancer, HIV/AIDS, or a genetic disposition towards extremely high cost illnesses?

After that, let’s shake the government out of our heads, and think about a very different type of ethical issue – Mobile apps.

Apple has included a health app with its most recent iPhone and operating system update. This means that in the not too distant future, anyone with an iPhone will have the ability to monitor basic vital signs like blood pressure and heart rate.

What if someone buys an iPhone in Nepal or Sierra Leone, finds out they have dangerously high blood pressure, but does not have access to medical treatment? Does Apple have an ethical responsibility to help arrange treatment to that person? And further – since we now know about such a person, do we also have an ethical responsibility to help provide treatment ourselves? Or – are we are on ethically sound ground to stand back and just let that person die?

· Diet and Wellness reports should be submitted as pdf documents. There should be 9 pdf reports. 

· Answers to questions in Section B, C, D, and questions in Part 2 into 1 Microsoft Word document and submit it in Blackboard.

Part 1: Dietary Self-Assessment (up to 70 points)

Section A: Food Record 

Record 3 days of your food and beverages in the Diet and Wellness app (as you did at the start of the semester), and generate 3 Daily Food Log reports to show your diet record. You can generate your Food Logs from the Reports tab in D&W+. Adjust the date in each case to obtain the Food Log from the appropriate day. 

Section B: Diet & Wellness Plus Diet Analysis

Generate an Intake vs Goals report, as well as 3 Source Analysis reports (for kilocalories, saturated fat, and sodium). You can generate these reports from the Reports tab in D&W+. For each report, you need to set a start date and an end date to capture all 3 days. 

Section C: Your Genetic Risk for Chronic Disease

Recall from Chapter 1 that each of us has a unique risk for developing chronic conditions such as heart disease or diabetes. This risk is based on how we eat, lifestyle choices such as exercise habits and smoking, and the genes we inherit from our parents.

1. List 6 relatives (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, and cousins for example). As you choose these people, focus on older relatives as well as any younger family members who have already been diagnoses with health conditions. They may be living or not.

2. Indicate which (if any) of these people had or have any of the following conditions: 

· Heart Disease

· Pre-hypertension, Hypertension, or Stroke

· Obesity

· Cancer

· Pre-diabetes, Gestational diabetes, or Type 2 diabetes

· Osteoporosis

If you cannot list any “blood” relatives, then list people with whom you grew up. If you don’t know if anyone has had these conditions, list their current age or the age at which they died.

Section D: Interpretation

Using the information from parts sections A, B, and C above, answer the 6 questions below.

1. List 4 vitamins and/or minerals that you consumed in adequate amounts and discuss how this protects you.

2. List 4 vitamins and/or minerals that you consumed in low amounts, and discuss the potential dangers to your health.

3. List your calorie, saturated fat, and sodium intake, and indicate if you overconsumed any of them. Discuss the potential dangers to your health.

4. Discuss 3 chronic disease conditions you are at risk for (or would otherwise avoid) based on your 3-day typical eating pattern and your Medical family tree

5. Using information from Chapters 7 and 8, identify 4 foods you are willing to eat to correct any shortages of vitamins and/or minerals.

6. Using your Source Analysis reports, identify 4 foods you could cut back on to reduce excess calories, saturated fat and/or sodium.

For this Part 1  you are submitting the following to Blackboard for grading:

· 3 Food Logs

· 4 Reports: 1 Intake vs Goals and 3 Source Analysis (Kilocalories, Saturated Fat, and Sodium)

· Family History of Chronic Disease (in a table format)

· Your answers to the 6 questions.

Part 2: Food Bank Analysis (up to 30 points)

Many Americans rely on food banks to make sure they and their families have enough to eat. Although food banks have some capacity to collect and distribute perishables (fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat), they tend to rely on packaged foods with a long (unrefrigerated) shelf-life. This, of course, affects the nutritional content of their offerings.

1) Identify a local food pantry, and research their mission and the nutrition services they provide.

2) Using the food bank typical food list on the last page, create a menu for one day (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Please make sure you include foods from each of the food groups:

a) Grains

b) Milk

c) Protein

d) Fruit

e)  Vegetable

3) Enter your choices into Diet and Wellness as though you are the client, and generate a Food Log report and an Intake vs. Goals Report.

4) Identify 3 nutrients for which you met the DRI recommendations.

5) Identify 3 nutrients for which you were below the DRI recommendations.

6) Discuss 3 implications of your Intake vs Goals report findings on the long-term health of people who rely on food banks for long periods of time.

7) Based on question 6, List 3 pieces of advice you would provide to these clients based on your analysis.

For Part 2 you are submitting the following to Blackboard for grading:

· The name and mission of your chosen food pantry

· 1 Food Log

· 1 Intake vs Goals Report

· Your answers to questions 4, 5, 6, and 7 above.
