This is a paper that is focusing on the health needs assessment for a particular population. The paper also provides further instructions on how to write the report on the health needs.

The health needs assessment for a particular population

A 5000 word written report, weighting 100% of the Module mark. This means there is only one summative assessment on this Module.
The Assessment is based on a health needs assessment (HNA) for a particular population in a chosen local area. The coursework requires you to identify, examine and analyse the health needs of a particular population in relation to relevant health determinants. Also, current healthcare service provision within a particular area (local authority) and then critique a resultant health needs assessment.

Interpret and discuss the health needs and current service provision. Using these as the evidence-base for drawing local area priorities and recommendations for intervention service design, planning, development, delivery, monitoring and evaluation in relation to the health needs of the respective population. Whilst you develop your work from existing HNA and public health reports. Think of your work as the latest and most updated evidence-based HNA report prepared for (or required by) commissioners in the local area to commission healthcare services for the chosen population.

Report

In the Report, you should clearly underline the health needs of the chosen population. Also, through your suggested priorities and recommendations for service provision, show how these should be met. Your priorities and recommendations should take into account that your Report is to consider as the latest HNA for the chosen population in the chosen local area. Therefore, this should also take into consideration the challenges facing the local authority. Also, how these can be negotiated in order to implement your HNA more effectively in the local area in relation to the chosen population. As such, the Report priorities and recommendations provide the base for a comprehensive discussion on “how to make it happen”.

The Report should clearly discuss the epidemiologic context of health problem/s. Also, the health needs of the chosen population including the current service provision and utilisation by the population. This should underline and discuss clearly the health inequalities that exist and their determinants in relation to the chosen population. Think of what should be the local priorities for commissioners. Additionally, other local area stakeholders with interest in the HNA in relation to the chosen population.  Thus, the Report’s recommendations should show how the local area priorities can be achieved.

As well as the limitations or open questions that accompany new reimbursement. Also, delivery models that are intended to promote “accountable care.”

The memo must be four pages in length. Please include references to course readings as well as any relevant outside sources that support your analysis. Citations and a references page (not included in page length) are required.

You must use a recognizable memorandum format for this exercise. It is recommended that subject areas be segmented using sub headers. Include your institution’s logo on the first page of the memo (fictitious). Be creative.

This is an assignment that focuses on the organizational risk management interview in health care. The paper contains several questions to use in the interview.

The organizational risk management interview in health care

O‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍rganizational Risk Management Interview
The purpose of this assignment is to gain real-world insight into how risk management programs operate within health care organizations. Select a local health care organization where you can conduct an interview with an employee who is involved in risk management processes. This organization can be your current employer or a different health care facility in your community. Acute care, urgent care, large multi?provider private medical clinics, assisted living facilities, and community/public health clinical facilities are all ideal options to complete the requirements of this assignment. Select an individual who can provide sufficient information regarding how their organization manages risk within its facility to answer the questions below. In your interview, address the following:

1.Firstly, risk management strategies used in the organization’s risk control program, along with specific examples.

2.Secondly, how the facility’s educational risk management program addresses key professional, legal, and ethical issues, such as prevention of negligence, malpractice litigation, and vicarious liability.

3.Thirdly, policies the facility has implemented that address how to manage emergency triage in high?risk areas of health care service delivery (e.g., narcotics inventories, declared‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍ pregnancy policies, blood-borne disease sector, etc.).

4.Fourthly, challenges the organization faces in managing and controlling high-risk health care. (e.g., infectious diseases, nuclear medicine, abortion, class 4 narcotics/opioids, etc.). 5.Strategies the facility utilizes to monitor, evaluate, and maintain compliance within its risk management program.

The organizational risk management interview in health care

After conducting the interview, compose a 550-750 word summary analysis of the interview. It should include the questions above, in conjunction with the interviewee’s responses. In addition, include the following elements in your response:

1.An assessment of the organization’s risk management program, including how it attends to high-risk health care and legal concerns. 2.Action steps you would take to improve one area of the organization’s risk management program, along with your rationale for doing so. Cite appropriate references as needed to support your statements and rationale. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required
