I have a research article on ” Teaching Prioritization: “Who, What, & Why?”
Mary Ann Jessee, PhD, RN” which I have attached as a file. The requirement is to write a critique using the two articles that describe the components of a research article and what you are looking for when you critique it. These reference articles are also attached as Cranwell 1997 and Kaplan 2012. I have also attached the rubric the instructor is going to use to grade the Research Article Critique.
OVERVIEW
Concierge and Direct Primary Care models are relatively new business model options. Concierge medicine practices charge patients a flat fee either on an annual basis or monthly. Concierge models provide enhanced services and greater access to care. Direct Primary Care (DPC) models charge a monthly or annual fee to the consumer for enhanced access and services. DPC models do not bill insurances. Both models derive most of their revenues from membership fees.
INSTRUCTIONS
You will read the case study “Move to Concierge Model or a Direct Primary Care-Medicine Business Model?” in the Walston Strategic Healthcare Management: Planning and Execution course text. You will then write at least a 5-page paper in current APA format that clearly addresses the advantages and disadvantages of business models for primary care physicians and describes its value, input, processes, and revenue changes. To accomplish this, you will address the case questions presented in the assignment below. Your answers must be supplemented with research from your course textbooks (Walston – Strategic Healthcare Management: Planning and Execution, and Wayland & McDonald – Strategic Analysis for Healthcare: Concepts and Practical Applications), peer-reviewed articles, and other quality sources.
In your paper, please answer the following questions:
1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the General Medical Clinic moving its primary care physicians to concierge or DPC models?
2. How would General Medical Clinic’s business model need to change if it moved to either model? Specifically, how would its value, input, processes and revenues change?
3. Given the direction of healthcare, what would you recommend if you were Michael?

You are required to have a minimum of 150 per section—not per question. Follow discussion rubrics as outlined in the syllabus.
Section 1: Chapter 4, 5 and 6. Discuss question 1 and any other two of the following questions.
1. Why culturally and linguistically appropriate services CLAS matter
Requirement: Watch the entire presentation and summarize key points on interpretations that are culturally and linguistically appropriate.
2. Cultural competency experts hold that institutions of learning—elementary, high school, and college level—can or should serve as the groundwork on which cultural competence can or should be embedded, nourished, and grown among future healthcare and indeed all other professionals. Research at least one educational institution to find out how the education institution policies foster behaviors and attitudes in its staff and students to promote cultural competency. Argue how effective or ineffective these policies and actions are in shaping future professionals. Since cultural competency is not a destination but a lifelong commitment to self-critique and reflection, what steps do you think the institution(s) can undertake to form and produce more culturally sensitive and competent healthcare professionals?
3. Cultural competency and health literacy: Doubtlessly, COVID-19 is one of the worst pandemics in 21st Century with hundreds of millions of infections and close and deaths in the United States alone. Whilst this disease affects all people in the United States and around the world, some racial or ethnic groups in the United States report higher proportion of deaths or serious illness even though they make a small fraction of total population in each jurisdiction/area. Select a state, a city within a state, or a county in the United States to investigate impact of COID-19 on various racial or ethnic groups.
4. Analyze the population of the selected states by racial/ethnic group by percentages, and then show percentage of COVID deaths and infections for each of the subgroups? Which group disproportionately is affected more than others are? What factors and social issues directly or indirectly are likely associated with these health disparities? What can or
Section 2: Chapters 7, 8, and 9: Cultural competency assessment and training. Select and discuss either of the following questions.
1. A physical therapy organization serves a diverse community in the inner city of Boston, which consists of African American, Cape Verdean, and Hispanic members. The physical Therapists, of which the majority are white, are concerned because they know little about the cultures of the groups with which they are working. What should be an important step for physical therapists in terms of preparing to receive culturally competent training?
2. Chun, M (2010). Pitfalls to avoid when introducing a cultural competency training initiative publish article in the Medical Education Journal lists factors acknowledge what has not worked in cultural competency initiatives. (See attached article). Read and analyze one factor the author discussed in the article. Address the challenge and suggest how to improve the initiative.
3. Six stages of cultural proficiency continuum. Requirement: Select a healthcare organization such a large hospital in your state or in the United States. Explore its policies and structure—or and check posted job openings to read job descriptions and specifications. Aside from professional/education and experience requirements, is there a mention of the need for individuals it is seeking, to possess ability to serve diverse populations or be culturally competent? You may want to look at the socio-demographic composition of population likely served. How diverse is the organization’s target market/population? Based on your findings, do you believe the organization’s structure policies and hiring processes are culturally sensitive to cultural the targeted market/population? Where do you feel the organization/leadership is on the health proficiency continuum support and why? Does the organization structure, policies, and practices appear to value diversity? Discuss what management can do to enhance their own and their employees’ awareness of the growing diversity of the community served. Here is a summary of the six stages and the associated meaning of each.
– Cultural destructiveness. Attitudes and practices based on policies and structures of healthcare of an organization that are destructive to a cultural group (s).
– Cultural incapacity stage- In this stage an organization may have unfair hiring practices, thus an organization may lack the capacity to respond effectively to the needs, interests, and preferences of culturally and linguistically diverse groups.
– Cultural blindness. In this stage, a healthcare organization embraces and pursues policies that treat everyone the same by using cultural beliefs and practices of the dominant group. The predominant philosophy is “one size fits all.” Remember the video about treating others the way we would want to be treated Assignment.
– Cultural pre-competence-A healthcare organization realizes of the need to explore needs of diverse population of those served and its human resources at this stage there is an awareness of strengths and areas for growth to respond effectively to culturally and linguistically diverse populations.
– Cultural competence-recognize cultural differences, seek advice from diverse groups, and hire culturally unbiased groups. Acceptance and respect for culture is consistently demonstrated in policies, structures, practices, and attitudes.
– Cultural proficiency-at this stage an organization improves services based on cultural needs.

The purpose of the Survey Project is to (1) have you begin thinking critically and creatively about factors that determine health, (2) introduce quantitative and qualitative data collection and reporting, and (3) draw conclusions based upon a basic survey question. To do this, you will survey eight (8) adults (18+ years) and record their answers to this single question:
Describe three (3) ‘things’ that would make you healthier.
To complete this assignment, you are to record, from each of the eight individuals:
Quantitative data: gender, age, answers to the question, and
Qualitative data: at least one direct or summarized statement from their response (do not solicit this statement – let yet come naturally)
Note: the word “things” is used purposefully to not lead an individual into thinking of certain categories of factors that affect health. Likewise, “healthy” is purposely not defined so each person is allowed to define it within their own context.
Some people may spend a great deal of time answering this question – and that is a good thing. The “richest data” comes from having a conversation rather than from single word answers. After an individual answers the question, place the answers into three broad thematic categories, such as “exercise”, “sleep”, “healthy eating”, “taking medications”, etc. People will use various words to describe the same variables, so do your best to place them into three different categories or themes. It may be easiest to collect your data in a journal or template format (which ever makes most sense to you).
Submit the following information for the Survey Project Assignment:
Submit the following information for the Survey Project Assignment:
1. Qualitative and Aggregate Quantitative Data.
After you finish surveying 8 people, combine your data together as follows:
# Female (%) / # male (%)
average age (age range)
List of thematic categories with number of responses for each (note: 8 survey respondents x 3 answers each = 24 total responses) (You will likely have several different thematic categories)
8 direct or summarized statements from your field notes (1 from each person)
2 Written Summary:
Write a 1-page (minimum) double-spaced paper based on your survey project. Summarize your qualitative and quantitative data in written format. Then, think about the information you learned in Week 1 (Lifestyle medicine) compared to the data you discovered. What was your overall reaction to the responses you received? Did any of the individual responses or the responses as a whole surprise you? Did the responses you received fit with the factors related to the biomedical model of health or with non-biomedical factors related to health? Any other comments about the experience?
Excess weight harms health in many ways. It increases the risk of developing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis, and some cancers, to name just a few, and reduces the life span. Treating obesity and obesity-related conditions costs billions of dollars a year.
The enormity of this economic burden and the huge toll that excess weight takes on health and well-being are beginning to raise global political awareness that individuals, communities, states, nations, and international organizations must do more to stem the rising tide of obesity.
Does it make financial sense for programs such as the Affordable Care Act to pay for weight loss surgeries? Does the upfront cost of surgery outweigh the long-term costs of health issues and chronic conditions related to obesity?
