HA3220D – Health Information Systems

Discussion 8.2: State Health Department 

Find the website for your state department of health and immunization registry. Think about the type of diseases reportable for your state.  Post a summary of how a health care information system would be useful in collecting and reporting the data. Would you consider this to be primary or secondary data? Explain your reasoning. My state is Columbus, Georgia

APA STYLE!!! PLEASE NOT PLAGIARISM!!!

Select an ethnic minority group that is represented in the United States (American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander). Using health information available from Healthy People, the CDC, and other relevant government websites, analyze the health status for this group.

In a paper of 1,000-1,250 words, compare and contrast the health status of your selected minority group to the national average. Include the following:

1. Describe the ethnic minority group selected. Describe the current health status of this group. How do race and ethnicity influence health for this group?
2. What are the health disparities that exist for this group? What are the nutritional challenges for this group?
3. Discuss the barriers to health for this group resulting from culture, socioeconomics, education, and sociopolitical factors.
4. What health promotion activities are often practiced by this group?
5. Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.
6. What cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model would be best to support culturally competent health promotion for this population? Why?

Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and public health content.

Some of the revisions require:

Page 2. “You cannot do this. I have gone over this a few times with you. You MUST write something under the level one header before you go to a level two header. I suggest you write out your supporting argument under “Supporting position. What is your argument? How does technology support healthcare as an American right and not a privilege? Spell it out here. This should be about a page. Then go into ethical theory and principles. However, I suggest you do a level two header for each principle and your theory.”

Page 11. “this needs to be completely revised. Again, remove “Technology can Create Risks” and move that section up to go under “Opposing Position” then at the end have a level tow header that reads “Utilitarian Theory” and elaborate on it. Then you need two ethical principles. What are they? Pleasure and happiness are NOT ethical principles. Please refer to your text book. You need two ethical principles for this section to receive the points and you need to write at least a paragraph on each”
