MVCC Investigating a Human Population Cemetery Exercise

Description

PERFORM LAB BY FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND FILL OUT THE DOCUMENT ATTACHED.

Procedure

  1. Research your local area to find a cemetery that you may visit for this exercise.

Note: If you are unable to access a cemetery, you may use the data provided in the “HOL Supplied Cemetery Data” Supplemental Document. If you choose to do this, skip to step 9.

  1. Print a copy of Data Table 2, to bring with you to the cemetery. Travel to a cemetery during the day, ensure that conditions are safe and public access is permitted.
  2. In Data Table 2, record the name, birth date and date of death for 80 deceased individuals. As you collect data, be sure to spread out within the full sampling area. Individuals of the same family or who died in shared years will often be grouped together, and the goal is to take a representative sample of all individuals in the population.
  3. Record the cemetery name and location in Data Table 2.
  4. Determine how old each person was when they died, and record your data in Data Table 2. Use the following equation:

Age at death = Birth year – Death yearAge at death = Birth year – Death year

  1. Investigate the first names of each individual and record the sex (M for male; F for female) in Data Table 2. If the name is gender-neutral, such as Jean, Lynn, or Pat, you may leave the area blank. Ensure that any data you recorded by hand is present in the document that you report to your instructor. Photograph the sheet(s) of data you recorded. Upload the image into Photo 1.

Note: This concludes the outdoor portion of this exercise; the rest of Exercise 2 may be performed from home.

  1. Record a summary of the population. Address each of the following questions, and record data in Data Table 3.
    • What were the first and last birth years?
    • What were the first and last death years?
    • How many individuals died before 1950? How many died after 1950?
    • How many individuals are male and female?
  2. In the next steps, you will calculate the probability of dying within a given cohort. As shown in Data Table 4, cohorts are age classes. For example, cohort 1 includes individuals that died between the ages of 1 and 9; cohort 2 includes individuals who died between the ages of 10 and 19. Examine Data Table 4 and study the following descriptions for each column heading:
    • Cohort (X) – The age intervals of deceased individuals.
    • Number of Deaths (D) – The number of individuals that died in each cohort.
    • Frequency of Population in Cohort (d) – The portion of the population that died in each cohort.
    • Frequency of Survivorship Entering the Cohort (l) – The portion of the population that enters the cohort.
    • Probability of Death within a Cohort (Q) – The probability that any given individual will die within a cohort.
  3. Count the number of people who died in each cohort (age interval). Record your data under “Number of deaths (D)” in Data Table 4.
  4. Calculate the “Frequency of population in cohort (d).” Record each value as a number with two decimal places. Use the following equation:

d = D / Total Population Sized = D / Total Population Size

Note: “Frequency of survivorship of cohort (l)” is based on entry into the cohort. Thus, the first cohort listed will always have a value of 1.00 because 100% of the population was born, entering into the cohort. A value of 1.00 has been entered for cohort # 1 in Data Table 4. With each subsequent cohort, values of “l” will decrease.

  1. Calculate the “Frequency of survivorship of cohort (l)” for cohort # 2. Record each value as a number with 2 decimal places. Use the following equation:

Icohort2 = Icohort1 – dcohort1Icohort2 = Icohort1 – dcohort1

  1. Calculate the “Frequency of survivorship of cohort (l)” for each of the remaining cohorts. For example, “Frequency of survivorship of cohort (l)” for cohort 3 will be calculated as:

Icohort3 = Icohort2 – dcohort2Icohort3 = Icohort2 – dcohort2

Note: The final recorded “l” in Data Table 4 should be equivalent or very close to the final recorded “d.”

  1. Calculate the “Probability of death (Q).” Record each value as a number with 2 decimal places.Use the following equation:

Q = d/IQ = d/I

Note: The probability of death is a frequency and may be interpreted as a percentage. For example, if Q = 0.30 for cohort # 1, then there is a 30% probability that a given individual will die between the ages of 1 to 9.

Note: To find Q, use data within a single cohort: Qcohort1 = dcohort1 / lcohort1

  1. Create a bar graph of the probability of death within each cohort. Plot the cohort age interval (1-9, 10-19, etc.) on the independent axis (x-axis), and plot the probability of death on the dependent axis (y-axis).
  2. Upload an image of the graph into Graph 3.

Title: Influencing Healthcare Through Advocacy: A Personal Journey and how to 

create effective interdisciplinary organizational and systems leadership in the care of clients in diverse care settings.

Introduction

Learning the ropes of policy, politics, and advocacy is a transformative endeavor with the ultimate goal of influencing healthcare and broader social agendas that profoundly impact human health. In this discussion, I become an advocate to effect change in healthcare, reflecting the purpose of mastering these skills.

Advocacy for Universal Healthcare Access

My journey into healthcare advocacy began when I witnessed the struggles of a close friend, Emily, who was burdened by exorbitant medical bills due to a chronic illness. Fueled by empathy and a desire for equitable healthcare, I embarked on a path to advocate for universal healthcare access.

            1.         Policy Analysis and Research: I started by immersing myself in healthcare policy analysis and research (Smith et al., 2018). This included studying existing healthcare systems worldwide to understand their strengths and weaknesses. Through this, I gained the knowledge needed to advocate for an inclusive healthcare system.

            2.         Community Engagement: Recognizing that community support is crucial for advocacy, I organized town hall meetings, awareness campaigns, and grassroots movements to engage citizens in discussions about healthcare access (Gitterman, 2017). By fostering a sense of shared responsibility, we encouraged individuals to join the cause.

            3.         Legislative Advocacy: I proactively engaged with lawmakers, presenting data and personal stories to advocate for policy changes aimed at expanding healthcare access. Collaborating with like-minded organizations and lobbying for healthcare reform became integral to my advocacy efforts (Berkowitz & Wolff, 2020).

            4.         Patient-Centered Advocacy: To amplify the voices of patients like Emily, I encouraged them to share their experiences and struggles. These personal stories resonated with policymakers and underscored the urgent need for healthcare reform (Travis, 2019).

            5.         Building Coalitions: Recognizing the power of partnerships, I formed coalitions with healthcare professionals, advocacy groups, and community leaders. These alliances strengthened our advocacy efforts and allowed us to pool resources and expertise (Berkowitz & Wolff, 2020).

Conclusion

My journey in healthcare advocacy reflects the purpose of mastering policy, politics, and advocacy skills – to influence healthcare and broader social agendas. Through policy analysis, community engagement, legislative advocacy, patient-centered efforts, and strategic partnerships, I worked towards the vision of universal healthcare access.  This it highlights the profound impact advocacy can have in shaping the future of healthcare and improving human health on a broader scale.

2. I have learned to value the crucial part that politics, lobbying, and policy play in determining the healthcare landscape throughout my work as a nurse. One specific instance stands out as proof of the effectiveness of advocacy in changing health care and more general societal goals.

I recently came across a critical problem involving patient safety and drug delivery while working as a clinical nurse in a big urban hospital. It became clear that our current system had a history of mistakes, especially when it came to high-risk drugs. This finding is confirmed by Pozzi’s (2023) study. Concerns over near-miss occurrences and sporadic medication mistakes had been raised among the nursing team, and it was obvious that something needed to be done to safeguard the safety of our patients.

Seeing the gravity of the situation, I started an advocacy journey to deal with it. The first step was acquiring information and proof to support my claims. I carefully recorded incidences and reviewed the available research on the best medication administration methods. I used this knowledge to report my findings to the hospital’s quality improvement committee.

Gaining support for the suggested improvements required active participation from stakeholders, as evidenced in the study by Beaudry et al. (2019). I formed a multidisciplinary task force with other nurses, pharmacists, and doctors to enhance pharmaceutical safety. We held regular meetings to discuss solutions, examine policies, and implement actual initiatives.

The adoption of a barcode scanning technology for medicine administration was one of the main campaign initiatives. I thought this technology had a lot of promise for our hospital because it had successfully reduced prescription errors in other healthcare settings. I did a ton of study on the advantages and affordability of this approach, and I made a strong argument to hospital executives.

The practice of advocacy went beyond hospital boundaries. I spoke with representatives from pharmaceutical companies, went to patient safety seminars, and connected with industry experts. I was able to present creative solutions by keeping up with developments in medicine administration technologies and best practices.

I worked with the hospital’s nursing leadership to write a policy proposal describing the implementation strategy for the barcode scanning technology as the advocacy efforts picked up steam. This comprised a thorough rollout schedule, workflow modifications, and employee training. I made sure that frontline nurses’ involvement was included in the policy because their viewpoints were crucial for forming its actual implementation.

The conclusion of these campaign efforts was the effective introduction of barcode scanning technology for drug administration. The new approach greatly decreased prescription errors and near-miss instances, improving patient safety and boosting nursing staff trust.

This example demonstrated the significant influence lobbying may have on medical outcomes. I was able to have an impact on an important component of patient care by identifying a problem, obtaining data, enlisting stakeholders, and promoting creative solutions. It strengthened my resolve to be a proactive advocate for the welfare of my patients and the larger community, and it confirmed my belief in the ability of advocacy to bring about constructive change in the healthcare industry.
