Select an ethnic minority group that is represented in the United States (American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander). Using health information available from Healthy People, the CDC, and other relevant government websites, analyze the health status for this group.In a paper of 1,000-1,250 words, compare and contrast the health status of your selected minority group to the national average. Include the following:Describe the ethnic minority group selected. Describe the current health status of this group. How do race and ethnicity influence health for this group?What are the health disparities that exist for this group? What are the nutritional challenges for this group?Discuss the barriers to health for this group resulting from culture, socioeconomics, education, and sociopolitical factors.What health promotion activities are often practiced by this group? Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.What cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model would be best to support culturally competent health promotion for this population? Why?Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and public health content.

Analyze how evidence-based practice influences healthcare technology.ScenarioYou are a nursing case manager working in a 100-bed community hospital in a rural setting. Many patients are elderly with chronic health conditions and have several factors that impair their timeliness of follow-up appointments for chronic care management. The specific difficulties reported by patients include:Many of the patients are remote, the hospital struggles to meet the needs of this community health population.The hospital experiences a delay in patient care and chronic care management due to a lack of provider access.Many patients report difficulty arranging transportation needs for their appointments which further limits their availability.Patient complaints have increased with regards to lack of reliable, prompt service for patient chronic care consults and lingering concerns for their overall health.The Chief Nursing Officer has assigned you to the Clinical Standards and Innovations Committee to examine strategies for best practice related to use of telehealth to support rural settings and expand care to all community populations. As the lead RN on the committee, you have been tasked with leading the telehealth initiative and have one month to research, analyze and propose the best evidence-based strategy. You will present your findings to the Chief Nursing Office and CEO of the facility in a succinct summary leveraging your committee’s recommendation.InstructionsYou have been asked for the summary to include the following components:Discuss the defining characteristics of telehealth Include your personal definition of telehealthHow does telehealth impact nursing practiceExamine how telehealth is currently integrated in healthcare Describe the evidence-based practice that supports the use of telehealth in rural and community healthcare settings.Provide a detailed description of your recommended evidence-based strategy to implement telehealth Provide rationale supporting your strategyInclude current evidence from the literature Grading RubricFFCBA01234Did not SubmitNo PassCompetence ProficiencyMasteryNot SubmittedNo clear explanation of the defining characteristics of telehealth, including their definition of telehealth; and how telehealth impacts the nursing role.Basic explanation of the defining characteristics of telehealth, including their definition of telehealth; and how telehealth impacts the nursing role.Thorough explanation of the defining characteristics of telehealth, including their definition of telehealth; and how telehealth impacts the nursing role.Clearly stated, detailed explanation of the defining characteristics of telehealth, including their definition of telehealth; and how telehealth impacts the nursing role.Not SubmittedNo clear explanation of how telehealth is currently integrated in healthcare, including a description of the evidence based practice that supports the use of telehealth in rural and community healthcare settings.Basic explanation of how telehealth is currently integrated in healthcare, including a description of the evidence based practice that supports the use of telehealth in rural and community healthcare settings.Thorough explanation of how telehealth is currently integrated in healthcare, including a description of the evidence based practice that supports the use of telehealth in rural and community healthcare settings.Clearly stated, detailed explanation of how telehealth is currently integrated in healthcare, including a description of the evidence based practice that supports the use of telehealth in rural and community healthcare settings.Not SubmittedNo clear description of their recommended evidence based strategy to implement telehealth, including a rationale supporting their strategy; and include current evidence from the literature.Basic description of their recommended evidence based strategy to implement telehealth, including a rationale supporting their strategy; and include current evidence from the literature.Thorough description of their recommended evidence based strategy to implement telehealth, including a rationale supporting their strategy; and include current evidence from the literature.Clearly stated, detailed description of their recommended evidence based strategy to implement telehealth, including a rationale supporting their strategy; and include current evidence from the literature.Not SubmittedLack of formal style in document, numerous spelling, grammar, or APA format errors present.Formal style reflected in some parts of the document, but not maintained throughout.
