Healthcare: Epidemiology and Financial Management
42488Write a Briefing report (no more than 3 pages) meeting the needs of Dr. Litchfield’s request (please refer to the attachment):
(Two pages for Part 1, and Three pages for Part 2)
PART 1 — two pages*
Dr. Litchfield requests your assistance in conducting a needs assessment for hearing services in the five-county service area. Consider the following in your assessment:
1. Population demographics play a determining role in the types of health services needed by communities. What demographic data may be important in determining the need for hearing services? (the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders is a good resource)
2. Timberline Health has a robust electronic health record with strong data analytic capabilities. How might this data be analyzed to evaluate the need for hearing services in the community?
3. Timberline Health provides a wide array of health services to patients in the community.
Design a screening questionnaire (as an attachment to the report) for use in primary care clinics to help identify community need for hearing services (no more than 5-10 questions using Six Steps Creating Effective Questionnaire).
4. What other factors may influence the need for hearing services in the community?
PART 2 — one page*
Write a Memorandum (no more than 2 pages) addressed to your faculty on the Subject of: Statistical Data representation in the Timberline Health case study.
1. Construct a 2-by2 contingency table to determine the total number of people who fail the screening test and will be referred for diagnostic testing in the hearing centers.
2. Construct a 2-by-2 contingency table to determine the total number of people who fail the diagnostic test, which represents the target market for hearing aid sales.
***For each table: list what data (and calculations) you used for the table
3. Explain the significance of Sensitivity and Specificity of Portable audiology equipment and Clinic-based audiology equipment.
4. Explain why Sensitivity and Specificity for the Clinic-based audiology equipment for follow-up diagnostic testing is higher than for
Portable audiology equipment for a free screening.
**When appropriate, refer to credible resources following APA format.
Note:
There is an underlying assumption in this case that the screening and diagnostic tests are independent, such that the first test does not affect the results of the second test even though this is generally not true with a series of tests. The resulting cohort of people who test positive for hearing loss represents the target market or total number of prospects for hearing aid sales from the proposed marketing campaign.
As a guideline, a 2-by-2 contingency table is constructed in Table TN-1:
PART 3 — one page*
Write a Memorandum directed to your faculty answering the questions below.
Based on the 2-by-2 contingency table to determine the total number of people who fail the diagnostic test, which represents the target market for hearing aid sales from Assignment 2 and the information from the case study, calculate:
1.How many people will buy the hearing aids?
2.How much the clinic will make on hearing aid sales to those people based on the study?
*see the table in attachment — must see attachment to complete BOTH parts*
1. Calculate how much the clinic will expense on the staffing (HINT: you need to calculate the number of employees and the time worked first).
2. Discuss if it might be a good idea to conduct the Fair and follow up appointments considering the amount of money made and the expense for staffing.
3. What other potential considerations could influence the marketing department final recommendation?
**When appropriate, refer to credible resources following APA format
