INTRODUCTION:
Health disparities continue to create challenges in population health. Certain factors contribute to the likelihood of health disparities. It is important that as leaders within population health, you understand these factors and what can be done to help reverse health disparity trends. Eliminating disparities could reduce medical care cost by $230 billion and indirect cost of excess mortality and morbidity by $1 trillion over 4 years (Wilkinson, et.al., 2017).
You are the director of social services, and will be presenting to social services students at a local university. You are asked to explain key factors that contribute to health disparities. You should highlight how data driven approach impacts patients in the scope of population health messaging. You should also be able to explain to the students how health messaging can help to educate patients on health plan adherence. You are tasked with creating an information handout which highlights the key points you want to reiterate to the students. This is an optional lecture for students and you want to engage them with some of the startling statistics that currently influence population health and hopefully peak their interest in the field.

You should highlight how data driven approach impacts patients in the scope of population health messaging. You should also be able to explain to the students how health messaging can help to educate patients on health plan adherence.

Healthcare managers must deal with three components of healthcare delivery: Access to care, quality of care, and the cost of care. With the move to a value-based care model from fee-for-service, there is a stronger connection between quality of care and payment. Organizations that accredit healthcare facilities, such as The Joint Commission, focus on quality standards. These organizations may also hold what is called deemed status. This means that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services(CMS) will accept accreditation of a healthcare facility by an accrediting organization such as The Joint Commission as meeting the Conditions of Participation (CoPs). Healthcare organizations that meet the CoPs are eligible for reimbursement for the care of Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Thus, the standards for accreditation include those that align with the CoPs. Managers must ensure that their organization meets these standards.
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of 12–15 slides, not including the title and reference slides, with 150–300 words of speaker’s notes. Review the CMS Conditions of Participation for the type of healthcare organization that you chose in Week 1 and that you have used throughout this course. Include the following in your presentation:
Identify at least 2 sections of the CoPs (e.g., patient rights, medical record services).
Explain how these sections are implemented in your selected healthcare facility.
Compare and discuss how these sections might be implemented differently in another type of healthcare facility.
Make recommendations for how your healthcare facility could make improvements to ensure meeting these CoPs.
In addition to the two CoPs that you have chosen, describe the Emergency Preparedness CoP and how your healthcare facility will implement this standard.
You can research the CoPs for your chosen healthcare organization in the Code of Federal Regulations at eCFR utilizing the links below:
Hospitals (Part 482)
Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) (Part 416)
Hospice (Part 418)
Home Health Agencies (Part 484)
Other Specialized Providers (Part 485)

Systemic or summative… formative or informal. State which type you will use and why you chose to use that type over the other.
Paragraph 2: Determine what you would change about the planning process of your program- “If the program was granted additional funding, the program planners could have incorporated…” or “Next time, the team of program planners will…”
Paragraph 3: What advice would you give to the next person planning their specific health program- What did you struggle most with? What was easier for you to complete within the planning process?
Paragraph 4: How will your data be collected in order to successfully evaluate your program? – Quantitative or qualitative? Which method will you use to collect feedback? Don’t forget to mention the reason why you chose to evaluate your program and technique used for evaluating
Be innovative, think outside of the box and find something that you are passionate about to develop a program on- remember ethics when you consider your program requirements.
Grades will be determined based on all of the above details in your paper WITH explanations, APA formatting, grammar and overall organization. When citing information, in-text APA style citations MUST be included to avoid plagiarism. Each paper should be no less than one page and no more than two pages (not including the title page and references).

Rough draft of paper is attached with information and sources. Need at least 2 more sources but 4-5 would be better. Since I have already provided most sources I expect you to find these last sources. Any additional information to be added to the paragraphs would be great as this is a rough draft. Thank you for your time and work!
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Look for 9+ sources representing a range of positions in the three categories, Support, Counterargument, and Alternative, on this topic. Make sure that these sources are all published within the last 5 years so that they give an up-to-date view of this contemporary issue. These three categories display the 360 degree range of alternative views on this topic, and one or more of them will at least be the basis for your upcoming Argument.
III. Cite each of these sources MLA style, but annotate them by summarizing their central points and answering the following annotation questions:
A. What puzzles, interests, and/or intrigues you about this source?
B. What is the research question your source is attempting to answer? Just as your Annotated Bibliography and this project begins with a guiding research question, so do your sources. What is it the author wants to answer in his or her project represented by this article?
C. Did the source answer its research question totally, in part, or not at all?
D. What is the central thesis of this source? How persuasive was it?
Take one paragraph of 4-8 sentences to answer these questions for each of your 9+ sources.
The 4 Annotation questions I have provided here are the standard set that could apply to just about any source you would ever encounter. However, the responses to those questions largely depend on the category in which the source is located in your project. For instance, a Support source is backing up your basic position, so it should be as persuasive as possible and answer a research question as efficiently as possible. By contrast, a Counterargument source should not be persuasive when it comes to your position, and it should not be the ultimate answer to any research question. Your Annotations of these sources may change where they fit in these categories, so have an open mind as you weigh the arguments in all these sources. One of the biggest acts of revision for an Annotated Bibliography is a reassignment of the use and categories of these sources in this evolving project.
IV. Find at least three sources to back up a position that you support and summarize the factual background they provide. These should be quantitative number and research facts. These are listed in a category labeled Support.
V. What are the major opposing positions? Cite at least 3+ sources that represent that side. Summarize the facts they provide in a category labeled Counterargument.
VI. What are sources that represent other positions rather than pro-con (generally, combinations and hybrids of the support and opposition positions)? What are previous attempts to solve this problem that have been argued for and/or tried? What can you learn from failures in the past to solve this ongoing problem? Cite and annotate 3 of those as well for your Alternatives.
