Part I: Plotting Outbreak Data
Now that you know where the outbreaks are located, your organization wants to chart out the areas that pose the highest exposure risk.
Create a graph or chart using the data provided in the High Risk Areas spreadsheet to determine the areas of the country with the most risk.
Note: The chart/graph should be made directly in Microsoft Excel. For additional resources, please visit the Create a Chart MC Excel page.
Write a 350- to 525-word analysis of the data that answers the following questions:
- Which cities (states) are high risk and low risk?
- Which areas of the country are high risk and low risk?
- What else can be deduced after evaluating the chart?
Include your graph/chart(s) with your analysis, not separately. Label as a “Figure” according to APA formatting.
Part II: Information Analysis
Compare the charts and graphs you created for the reports in previous assessments and determine conclusions based on the analysis of the data.
Select a health care facility or service (e.g., hospital, physician practice, long-term care facility, ambulance service, pharmacy, or skilled nursing facility).
Write a 700- to 1,050-word analysis, addressing the following:
- Describe how your selected health care facility or service can benefit from the information you gathered and analyzed in the previous assessments.
- Examine any conflicts of interest, ethical considerations, or community health effects that may factor into the benefits identified.
- Identify any points that can be served by further research into either the facility, a service it provides, or the given data.
- Reference data, graphs, and charts to support your claims.
Cite at least 2 scholarly references to support your assignment. Feel free to use supplemental readings from peer-reviewed journals as references. Do not use “.com” commercial, “.edu” education, “.org,” or “.net” proprietary sources. You may use one .gov reference, such as the CDC or NIH.
Compile Part I and Part II into a report that could be submitted to the leadership in your organization.
Format your report according to APA 7th guidelines.
