This week, we are going to talk about different types of sampling method. Those methods are the ones that will select the sample population for the research. It is necessary to test the ability of each method to achieve the research’s goals, detecting the one that does the best job in achieving those goals (Creswell & Creswell, 2017). Creswell, J. W., & Creswell, J. D. (2017). Research design: Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches (5th ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications. Question   Describe why you were to chose a specific method to select a sample over other method. Defend the method you preferred.  3 paragraph

Public health informatics is the application of information science and technology to public health practices, medical research, and planning. The Internet plays a key role in the continued evolution of health informatics and is closely tied to the planning, development, and implementation of public health systems. Research public health informatics using the assigned readings, the South University Online Library, and the Internet. Respond to the following: Explain why knowledge of traditional public health disciplines such as epidemiology, biostatistics, or toxicology, in itself, is insufficient to plan, develop, and implement information systems in public health practice? Support your answer with appropriate scholarly references. Compare and contrast epidemiology and public health informatics. Explain how informatics augments the practice of improving the public’s health. Refer to available CDC informatics data programs and Healthy People 2000, 2010, and 2020.

replay question 1:         One type of health care spending that should be considered wasteful concerns the treatment that is provided to patients who experience never events. Never events are medical errors that should never occur such as those related to surgical events (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality [AHRQ], 2019). Under a mandate by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Medicare would no longer pay for the costs associated with never events. Hospitals need to find ways to prevent never events. If eliminated, hospitals would save money and better quality care would be provided to patients.  question 2:  In the article of Milbank quarterly where a study was conducted in 2008  by  Bentley and colleages  here they finding  that waste is caused by factors such as health insurance and medical uncertainties that encourage the production of inefficient and low-value services.  They also mentioned that many attempts made  to decrease such waste have face so many challenges, such as the high costs of initial investment, unintended administrative complexities, and trade-offs among patients’, payers’, and providers’ interests. While they categorizing waste may help identify and measure general types and sources of waste, successful reduction strategies must integrate the administrative, operational, and clinical components of care, and proceed by identifying goals, changing systemic incentives, and making specific process improvements. (Bentley, et al, 2008)

Case Study: Mr. Smith, a 60 year-old man with coronary heart disease, experienced frequent bouts of angina pectoris. One day while moving a piece of heavy furniture, he experienced excruciating pain over his left chest. He began sweating heavily, became short of breath, and then collapsed. He was transferred to the emergency room at a nearby hospital. Mr. Smith’s EKG was diagnostic of myocardial infarction. A coronary angiography was performed and an occlusion was found in a in the descending branch of the left coronary artery. Intravenous drugs were administered to dissolve the clot that was causing the obstruction. His cardiologist informed him that some of his heart muscle had died as a result of the myocardial infarction. Discussion Questions: 1. Discuss the risk factors for a myocardial infarction. 2. As per your analysis, what type of cell injury did Mr. Smith sustain and why? 3. Differentiate between reversible and non-reversible cell injury. 4. Discuss the pathophysiological changes that occur during a myocardial infarction. 5. Correlate the subjective and objective findings of a myocardial infarction with the disease Requirement is one page. Provide references and use APA format.
