Health Care Reform Has Become A Priority In Politics, Medical Institutions, And Among The General Public.   Introduction Several studies have been performed on health care reforms to elucidate the strength occupied by health care reforms in society. Politics has played a lot of importance on one hand while the general public and medical institutions have collectively contributed towards the changes in the other one. Both the entities, as mentioned above, have geared towards the collective improvement of the Healthcare provision, which has directly impacted on several aspects of healthcare such as accessibility, quality, and cost. These aspects have also formed a vital basis for efficient operation in the medical sector. Considering the importance of the Healthcare sector, the reforms have significantlyimpacted the Healthcare provision, and the same have directly related to the general population, which has greatlybenefited as a result. This paper will examine several researchers’ work, which has fruitfully facilitated the realization of the three vital elements of medical reforms. For instance, the impact of spatial accessibility to healthcare services has been the turning…

          Validity and Reliability Methods   Student’s Name Course Name, Course Code University Name Professor’s Name September 1, 2020           Validity and Reliability Methods My preferred validity and reliability methods for evaluating quantitative data are construct and test-retest, respectively. I have chosen the test-rest strategy since it enables me to measure consistency across time to determine whether I get similar outcomes when the procedure is repeated (Harshman & Yezierski, 2015). Thus, I can establish the correlation coefficient between two data sets to assess the two tests’ relationship.  A high correlation, such as 90%, shows good reliability, while a low correlation, such as 10%, indicates poor reliability. The strategy is also effective since it reflects the level to which different items assigned to variables give the exact outcome of behavior or the phenomenon being measured. I also prefer the approach since it enables the utilization of Cronbach’s alpha, which is used to split the items for one test by measuring their associated statistics. On the other hand, I prefer to construct validity method…

      Institution Name Date                           THE HUNGRY VENUS FLYTRAP   THE HUNGRY VENUS FLYTRAP is a fascinating article about an insect-eating plant that grows in North and South Carolina. It grows in low nitrogen soil and therefore gets its nitrogen from capturing and consuming flies. This is contrary to other plants that acquire their nitrogen nutrients from the sun, water and soil. Samantha Buglover describes that catching flies is through luring them with a display of attractive red looking and lush center that makes the flies mistake it for flowers. The article goes further to describe the events that lead to the capturing of a fly by the plant. It first detects the insect’s presence as the fly touches the flytrap. This causes the trap’s first hair to pop up, but at first, these hairs ignore the insect. This helps the plant to ensure that it is capturing an insect and no other things like raindrops. The second hair that an insect brush makes the plant…

        Healthcare Utilization and Finance   A1. Comparing the U.S Healthcare System and that of Japan The majority of developed countries had their healthcare systems developed and standardized in the early years of the 20th century. In this task, we will compare the healthcare system of both the United States and Japan based on various perspectives as outlined below. A2.  A Comparison of the Access of Healthcare Systems for Children, the Unemployed, and the retirees Japan, just like other countries in Asia, has a centralized healthcare system where the government provides funding to all healthcare activities in the country. In terms of access, there is a significant difference between the healthcare system of the United States and that of Japan. The Japanese government established universal healthcare, which takes care of all citizens plus foreigners with proven eligibility (often one year of stay in the country). Vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, or retirees, as well as the people without employment, all receive medical cover provided by the government under the universal healthcare program. On the other…

Biomedical Statistics Question 7: The Level of Measurement There are four different levels of measurement used by Lee et al. (2018). They include nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. The first measurement level is the nominal level, where the numbers are only useful in the classification of the data. In this regard, the examined selective symptoms such as dyspnea, depression, fatigue, and anxiety can only be represented in words, letters, and alphanumeric symbols. Hence, the four types of mental illness can be useful in depicting how they contribute to COPD. The second one involves the ordinal level, where there is the depiction of the relationship between the levels of the variables used.  Dyspnea was measured with forced expiratory volume in one second, which implies that the researcher could determine the rate at which the study participants were experiencing shortness of breath. It ranged from mild/temporary to a serious one. However, it is not easy to diagnose the problem because of various causes that may be causing it (Arvidsson, 2019). As a result, it was an ordinal level of measurement because it…

Best Approach to Leadership Various leaders in their leadership use different approaches. Their strengths, weaknesses determine the effectiveness of the organization. Three methods may be used; they include democratic leadership, autocratic leadership, and laissez-faire. In my opinion, I will dwell much on the democratic type of leadership. Democratic Type of Leadership According to Surendra (2017), the Democratic type of leadership that members of a particular group participate fully in making decisions (participative leadership style).  Every member of the group is allowed to give his or her views freely. In this type of leadership, the equality of a group is entirely focused on as the chosen leader offers the group’s control. The leader shares the responsibility for problem-solving and decision making with the team. Through this cooperation, teamwork and team-spirit are upheld. Democratic leadership style works effectively when a leader works with skilled employees. It also helps the employer to identify the strengths and talents of the employees. The democratic style is best when applied at most institutions since it fosters ideas and creativity as members share ideas freely, it creates…

Sociological approach The article shows that desert areas are areas that are far from town, specifically areas where accessibility to the supermarkets is a challenge. People in desert areas do not have access to fresh food because they tend to shop more so that it can last for a long time; hence, some becoming bad. Price is another challenge that affects people in desert areas; hence; they cannot shop fresh food from the supermarkets. Functionalism is a sociological theory that seeks to explain how society is related to the biological and social needs of the individual. The functional theory is related to the article in that it explains how institution and transport systems affect how the people meet their needs in society. Two-pronged approach method was used in the article to find out how the price and location of people in society affect their access to fresh food. The two-pronged approach seeks information from various sources; analyze it to conclude. Therefore, a two-pronged approach is advantageous because the information needed is got from various sources; hence, a lot of data…
