Competency

Apply data analytic methodologies to diverse populations to address population health needs.

Scenario

You have assessed your local population health needs and identified data sources and data sets that are needed to help providers make immediate gains in patient outcomes. Your health systems Board of Directors is requesting that you develop a high-level population health management program dashboard.For this assessment, you need to assess local population health needs and identify data sources and data sets that are needed to help providers make immediate gains in patient outcomes. It is a major undertaking to plan, design, and implement a robust PHM. Therefore, your health systems Board of Directors is requesting that you develop 1-2 page high-level population health management program dashboard. In this dashboard, list the health needs based on the community needs assessment and the critical data sources and data sets needed for the population health management program your health system is planning to launch.

Instructions

Using the information from the modules 01, 02, and 03 summative assessments, construct a dashboard that lists the health needs based on the community needs assessment that was performed and the critical data sources and data sets needed for the population health management program your health system is planning to launch.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please complete the assigned readings in Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 of the Wright (2012) text, and review the website, About Federal Courts (Links to an external site.). https://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts Be sure to support your descriptions with references to Wright’s text and/or scholarly sources

The judiciary is an important part of the criminal justice system. After police arrest an individual, an extensive chain of events is set off in the American court system. As noted, Section 6.2 of Chapter 6 of the Wright (2012) text indicates that there are 51 separate court systems in the United States. The federal government operates one court system, referred to as the federal court system. Each of the 50 states operates a court system, referred to as state court systems. Both the federal courts and the state courts have three main levels: trial courts, appeals courts, and supreme courts. Note that Wright (2012) also includes a discussion of the term jurisdiction in Section 6.2 of Chapter 6.

Your instructor will assign you a section for this discussion. Respond to the prompts within your assigned group. For the fourth part (in each group) consider how knowledge of cultural sensitivity and diversity awareness could apply to positively influence a process or responsibility. Based on your assigned section, address the following:

• Section 1: State and Federal Trial Courts
  • Describe processes for preliminary hearings and for the grand jury.
  • Describe the main responsibilities of state trial courts and federal trial courts.
  • Interpret how at least one constitutional principle relevant to social and criminal justice relates to one of the above processes or responsibilities.
  • Apply knowledge of cultural sensitivity and diversity awareness to at least one of the above processes or responsibilities.
• Section 2: State and Federal Appeals Courts
  • Describe processes for arraignment and for plea bargaining.
  • Describe the main responsibilities of state appeals courts and federal appeals courts.
  • Interpret how at least one constitutional principle relevant to social and criminal justice relates to one of the above processes or responsibilities.
  • Apply knowledge of cultural sensitivity and diversity awareness to at least one of the above processes or responsibilities.
• Section 3: State Supreme Courts and the United States Supreme Court.
  • Describe processes for jury selection and for the jury.
  • Describe the main responsibilities of state supreme courts and the United States Supreme Court.
  • Interpret how at least one constitutional principle relevant to social and criminal justice relates to one of the above processes or responsibilities.
  • Apply knowledge of cultural sensitivity and diversity awareness to at least one of the above processes or responsibilities.
• All Students
  • Briefly define the term jurisdiction as it relates to courts.

Guided Response: Your initial post should be at least 350 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. 

*******NOTE FROM THE PROFESSOR*********

“Hi Class, The instructions indicate that I will assign one of the three sections to each of you. While I have no issue with doing so, my preference would be that you pick the section that you are most interested in and complete your response. Respond to the prompts within your assigned group. For the fourth part (in each group) consider how knowledge of cultural sensitivity and diversity awareness could apply to positively influence a process or responsibility. 

Also, notice that I will be sending you some points to review and respond to that relate to sentencing and corrections. As you know, next week we will be covering corrections and accordingly, I thought it would be useful to send you some discussion points and questions that relate to this week and next week. 

Optimally, I would like for you to address all three sections either through your initial post or responses to peers and/or instructor. Please indicate which section your are responding to and ensure you meet the required length and content requirements. Good Luck! “

This week we learned about what it means to be an advocate, as well as the different types of advocacy, and how to advocate in a sociologically mindful way. 

For this discussion, you are going to create an advocacy message related to the social justice issue of your choice to share with me and your peers. An advocacy message is a core statement that you would use to define your advocacy mission to the public. This is critical to ensuring that people understand what you are about and what you want to accomplish. The message created here is different from creating an entire advocacy campaign – that would entail building a team, having a timeline, developing activities, budgeting, etc. all along with the message. For this discussion, you are just laying the groundwork as though you were considering creating a campaign.

Steps to creating an advocacy message:

1) Open with a statement that engages your readers. You want something attention grabbing. Using a dramatic fact is a good way to lead-in! This should only be one or two sentences.

2) Present the problem. Describe the issue and who it impacts.

3) Provide facts and data. Consider your audience. In this case – college students. Look for facts that are relevant to your audience in some way. 

4) Share a story or provide an example of the problem. This makes your message more compelling. Putting a human face on the issue is an easy way to get people to care.

5) Connect the issue to your audience. Why should they care about this social issue – how is it relevant to them?

6) Make your request – state what the audience can do to help. This could be as simple as sharing a hashtag, or something more serious like donating money (not in real life – no money will be exchanged here!).

Write this discussion as though it is a document you are going to share to gain interest in your social issue. In other words, do not begin with “Hello, peers!” Act as though this document is the beginning of an advocacy campaign. 

Looking for an example? You may be familiar with the infamous Carole Baskin with Big Cat Rescue (shown on the Netflix documentary Tiger King). Check out this page (Links to an external site.) from her website and notice where she hits the key points as mentioned above in the ‘steps to creating an advocacy message.’ Your discussion assignment does not need to be nearly this thorough, but this is a great example. There is also a section starting on the bottom of page 198 at this link (Links to an external site.) that discusses how to create an advocacy message.
