Please answer the following questions: 1. Politicians often make statements like the following: “We are going to provide the best-possible health care at the lowest-possible cost.” This sounds like a great optimization problem, but this goal is nonsense when stated this way. Why? 2. Suppose that you have a sack that contains 19 black marbles and 1 white marble of identical size. You reach into the bag, close your hand around a marble, and withdraw it from the bag. It is correct to say that you are 95% confident that the marble in your hand is black. Read the following statements and choose the one that is equivalent to your “95% confidence” statement: a) This particular marble is 95% black and 5% white. (Maybe it has white spots!) b) This particular marble is black 95% of the time and white 5% of the time. (perhaps it flickers!) c) This particular marble doesn’t have a single color, only a probability. Its probability of being black is 95%. d) The process by which I got this particular marble can be repeated. If it were repeated many, many times, the resulting marble would be black in about 95% of those trials. 3. Enter the following 3 data sets into Excel and find their respective regression line formulas and R2 values:

According to Socolovsky, Masi, Hamlish, Aduana, Arora & et al (2013), they were able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the University of Chicago ECHO hypertension curriculum by interviewing providers that participated in a 6-month pilot intervention. Additionally, this study was conducted to help them with determining the impact of the key learning theory principles on the ECHO model and this was used as a method of helping them with identifying ways that they can increase the efficiency of including the theory principles into the hypertension curriculum.

In this study the researchers explained that patient who resided underserved communities tended to have higher rates chronic diseases that were complex. Furthermore, patients with these types of complex chronic diseases were being managed by providers in community health centers, in which these providers may or may not have the level of experience that is required to help provider the optimal level of treatment to these patients (Socolovsky, Masi, Hamlish, Aduana, Arora & et al, 2013).

The findings from this study was that providers in the community health centers who completed the ECHO hypertension curriculum had more confidence in providing the level of treatment to those patients with resistant hypertension.
