SCENARIO - Imagine you are a population health director for a large hospital. You have been tasked with educating your direct supervisor and senior leadership on the health-related risks and needs of high-risk children and adults ranging in age from six to ninety-five, from various ethnicities with chronic health conditions such as COPD, asthma, heart disease, and diabetes when it comes to the annual flu vaccination. There is a goal of 90% flu vaccinations rate for high-risk in an effort to reduce the costs related to those hospitalizations and improve the health outcomes of the high-risk adults. Senior leadership is looking to fully understand these risks and needs before looking into plans for improving care for the related population and avoiding any financial costs that may result from not appropriately addressing these issues.
Questions - Specifically, address the following:
1. Risks and Needs: Assess the risks and needs of the population in your scenario based on the available data and scholarly evidence.
2. Information Analysis: Analyze the population data as presented in the selected project data set to determine gaps and how they could impact overall care of the chosen population.
3. Quality of Care: Evaluate how social determinants of health and access issues affect the quality of care for the chosen population.
4. Risk Justification: Justify your identification of the particular healthcare-related risks within your chosen population to senior leadership, using data to support your claims.
5. Knowledge and Wisdom in Data: Explain the importance of using knowledge and wisdom when interpreting data to inform healthcare-related decisions for your chosen population.
