Before you start, look over the instructions for the Unit 3 Assignment. This Discussion will assist with forming your responses for the Assignment.
First, think about a health problem that you find interesting, such as a disease outbreak, chronic condition (heart disease, diabetes, etc.), or common injury in a population (falling among seniors, occupational injuries, etc.). You could also choose a health problem that is currently affecting your community.
Next, choose and research an organization that is part of the public health system (local, state, federal or global health organization, non-governmental organization, or other organization) that is addressing the health problem.
For your initial response to the Discussion, provide a brief description of the public health problem and the organization you have chosen. How is the organization actively addressing the health problem? Who are the stakeholders in the community that the organization might reach out to in partnership to address the problem?
Your two peer replies should ask probing questions about the organization or the health problem that is being addressed by your peers. You can also make additional suggestions to your peers regarding other stakeholders or organizations that might be appropriate to include when addressing the public health problem.
Be sure to include a list of credible references to support your response.

Hello everyone,
This was a very interesting topic to discuss this week, because I got to see all different types of organizations, and how many of them come together to help the community. The health problem I decided to choose was diabetes. I found a few different organizations that target diabetes, since it is such a large and deadly problem. The organization I chose was CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT). Diabetes is a disease when the human body cannot produce or respond to insulin. Since diabetes is such a large problem, with 729 million people in the United States suffering from it, I decided it was an issue that needed to be paid attention to (“Diabetes Home,†2018). Many people have prediabetes, while other people do not even know that they have it. It is important for people to know whether or not they have diabetes, so they can get the proper treatment. If gone un-treated, this can lead to heart disease, strokes, blindness, amputations, and even death.
The DDT program helps people with diabetes by funding states and local health departments to support their programs and activities that they provide. These programs and activities being supported and funded, help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. Funding from the organization also goes towards improving any health outcomes for people suffering from diabetes. Funding programs in local communities and all the different states is extremely important, because it can help people who are struggling financially get help for their disease. In my opinion, people should not have to worry about their health with diabetes just because they are unable to afford help. This organization is great at helping address the problem of diabetes by not only targeting diabetes, but also targeting other diseases that can cause diabetes as well. This organization is about prevention, so that people can get the support they need without also worrying about being diagnoses with other diseases due to diabetes. DDT will help with the funding of obesity programs as well, so that people have a less likely chance to become obese, which can develop into having diabetes.
The stakeholders in the community that the organization would reach out to would be the specific state’s health department. State health departments are in charge of certain support groups and support activities that the organization would be funding. This organization also helps schools that are having diabetes and obesity problems. This would mean that another stakeholder that the organization would reach out to would be the school’s super intendent or principals of schools. Community programs are the main source to help people suffering from diabetes; so, this would mean that anyone that is in charge of support programs would be the people to talk to about setting up funds from the organization.

For this discussion topic, I chose to research Polycystic Kidney Disease. Not because I think it’s interesting but because I know I need to educate myself on it. PKD runs in my family and I have always avoided going to get myself checked. My grandfather on my mother’s side was diagnosed with it and passed very young, when my mother was only 16 years old. My mother inherited the disease, and just recently my brother had an accident at work and when he went to the doctor, they diagnosed him as well.
PKD is defined as a genetic disorder that causes many fluid-like cysts to grow in your kidneys (National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, 2017). The Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation is the only organization in the U.S. solely dedicated to finding treatments and a cure for PKD to improve the lives of those it affects (PKD Foundation, 2018). Thankfully, On April 24, 2018 the FDA granted approval of Jynarque to be the first treatment in the U.S. for adult patients with PKD (PKD Foundation, 2018). Not only did the PKD Foundation support early studies that led to the development of Jynarque, they also helped guide patients to the clinical trials. If the PKD Foundation isn’t already partnered with the Otsuka Pharmaceuticals, who developed Jynarque, they will be in the near future to spread the word of this treatment.

across state health network enterprise risk management 1
/in /by CarlosCongratulations! You are promoted!
Tampa Bay Super Clinic (TBSC) has been purchased by Across State Health Network (ASHN),
whose CEO is progressive and proactive. The network is growing fast and he has decided to
adopt the enterprise risk management model (ERM). Out of the 75 facilities in the network, you stand out as the most effective risk manager. He offers you the position of Chief Risk Officer (CRO) of the network and you gladly accept it.
The facilities in the network are located in three states and vary in size between 15,000 and
60,000 square feet. All offer the same services as TBSC. Currently the facilities also vary as to
how they approach risk management. Some of them are similar to TBSC in that each has a risk
manager. Others assign risk management responsibilities to an office manager or safety
coordinator.
As the CRO, you will write a paper to recommend how the network’s risk management
organization should be structured. Specifically, you must describe (a) which personnel or unit or
department would carry out the following risk management functions and (b) the reporting
structure and working relationships of such personnel or units or departments with regard to
other operational departments of the network and the CRO:
ï‚· Incident reporting, tracking, and prevention
ï‚· Quality assurance
ï‚· Credentialing
ï‚· Security
ï‚· Claims management
ï‚· Risk management education
Remember to think about the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, documentation guidelines, malpractice, SBAR communication model, doctrine of vicarious, battery and abuse. Use your textbook and other assigned readings as appropriate for references.
The recommendations are to be presented in a 1,000-word APA-formatted paper. You may, but
are not required to, provide an organizational chart; if you do, it must comply with the APA
format for figures. Please review the HSA style guide (in the Course Resources folder)
Include at least two references from peer-reviewed journals (not counting those provided in the course materials) to support your points. Please include the rubric at the end of the document.
