Outcome measures are broadly utilized in clinical research as well as in health services research. The involvement of patients in designing outcome measures helps ensure that they can influence clinical priorities for the care they receive. Outcomes measures are indicators of a change in a patient’s health status which is very important to patients, health care organizations and policy makers. Outcome data has been compiled from sources such as clinical, administrative and survey data. National care health care policy has an integral role in outcome measures, which require a high degree of data standardization across sites. They have been guided by federal agencies such as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), in addition to non-profit organizations such as the National Quality Forum (NQF). It is important that outcomes are measured for each individual’s medical condition, rather than focusing on single procedures or specialties. They should cover any treatment option and full care from diagnostic testing to treatment and rehabilitation, covering both inpatient and outpatient care.
The incorporation of special population patients in the outcomes process is critical to the inclusion of important patient-related outcomes and research protocols, which have not been previously considered. Examples of these populations include those individuals with diabetes, heart failure, chronic diseases, strokes and the elderly.

There are many different populations that need to be considered when doing healthcare planning. Homeless patients, uninsured patients, and rural area patients are part of sub groups that make a large impact on health care costs. Rural patients are more difficult to service due to the fact that the population is so spread out and rural areas are typically lacking in health care professionals when compared to urban areas. Homeless populations are many times uninsured and possibly have a mental condition or a chronic illness that has made it a challenge to work and maintain a job. Mental illness is a large issue among the homeless population. If you are aware of the different types of sub groups you can hopefully create an analysis as to how much is needed to help the people in your particular community.

Can someone explain to me what causes the huge disparity in women’s health care as opposed to men? According to the reading this week, “Women face a distinct disadvantage in employer based health insurance coverage because they are more likely than men to work part time, receive lower wages, and have interruptions in their work histories” (Shi & Singh, 2012). Additionally, women’s’ contraceptives are not covered by some insurance policies but Viagra and Cialis are. If contraceptives are not covered, how can women protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies? Men are urged to be sexually active, and women are the ones who bear the responsibility of pregnancy. This may be simplistic thinking, but I believe it is another example of “male chauvinism”. Any thoughts?

Assignment 2: Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine is a specialized branch of modern medicine that exploits the process of radioactivity for imaging, diagnosis, and treatment. Many imaging techniques inject small amounts of radioactive material into the body, which are then tracked by a sensing device specific to the type of radiation emitted from that material. Radiation has also been used to destroy diseased tissue, typically beyond the reach of standard surgical techniques.
Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, write a paper on nuclear medicine. Address the following:
Support your statements with examples. Provide a minimum of three scholarly references.
Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

For this exercise, you will practice framing a scene and describe all aspects of it (see the example at the bottom).
1. In the center of a scrap piece of cardboard or heavy paper (approximately 8in.x10in) cut a rectangle 1in x 1.5in. This will create your viewer.
2. Hold your viewer in front of your face and close one eye as if you were looking through the viewfinder of the camera.
3. Examine the scene in front of you and consider what you see.
4. After practicing this a few times, begin writing (in detail) about your scene. Write what you see! Do not answer the questions above. Only describe what you have arrived at through the viewfinder, not the variations of how it could be framed. You should spend about 5 minutes examining and writing what you see.
5. Make sure that you are writing at the highest quality. This should be written as paragraphs, not just a listing of elements. If you are struggling with the quality of your writing, please visit the Writing Center in the Library.
Produce one written description each for five different scenes and submit them via Blackboard (for a total of 5 descriptions)
Copy the text into the submission dialog box.
DEADLINE: Please consult your course calendar for this assignment’s deadline.
Example:
“Towels hanging on a door”
A horizontal image – this image shows the bottom of three towels as they are hanging on a door. The door is identified though the doorjamb and the edge of the open door. The doorknob is excluded.
The three towels (first one being mostly dark tones and striped, the middle one being off white, and the third one being very dark) are draped and folded. The bottom of each of the three towels is visible in the image and there is white space below them. The draped towels create a zigzagged edge that rises to the right. Folds in the center towel rise to the right and line up with an edge of the dark towel that rises to the right, stops, and rises to the left, creating a triangle that directs the viewer back to the left. The far left towel is cut off by the left edge of the picture. The towels extend from the left edge approximately three fourths of the way across the image. The edge of the door runs parallel to the right edge of the image. The towel bottoms and the right edge of the dark towel define a primarliy white negative space.
The scene is flatly lit by indirect mid morning light. There are few deep shadows only defined because of deep folds in the towel. There are no noticeable highlights.
