Rst1 Task 3

Regional School Unit (RSU) #64 is comprised of an elementary, middle and high school within a small rural community in the town of Corinth, ME. This community is largely supported by agriculture and local business. However, it is about 20 miles from Bangor, ME, the closest city with numerous resources. Unfortunately, this distance restricts Corinth residents with a lack of transportation from having access to these resources. Inadequate knowledge and awareness of health care promotion and prevention methods also have adverse results on community health. Whether the resource be obtaining a pair of glasses or medication from a pharmacy, even the seemingly effortless tasks can present challenges and go to show that members of this community suffer disparity due to their rural location.

SST TASK 2: ARE CHILDREN TOO HASTILY BEING DIAGNOSED WITH ADD? A1 Twenty years ago children being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder was not as common as it is today. Are children too hastily diagnosed with ADD? Most children diagnosed are being treated and even medicated. Children should not be medicated unless the symptoms cause a significant strain on their life or ability to learn. Significant adverse

The National Center for Learning Disabilities (2016) or NCLD was founded in 1977. Based on information provided by NCLD (2016) their mission is to improve the lives of children and adults with learning and attention issues. The National Center for Learning Disabilities (2016) advocates for equal rights and opportunities for the learning disabled community by providing programs and reporting on related issues. The NCLD (2016) website gives access and information on programs that cater to parents, young adults, professionals, and educators about learning disabilities.I appreciate The NCLD (2016) website provides for children and their parents as well as professionals. As a future educator, i welcome any additional resources I can use in the future for my own classroom or even aide another colleague. I especially appreciate the Get Ready to Read program(2016) “a free early Learning Resource” Intended for educators .However I believe, parents can use the Get Ready to Read program(2016) for their own kids who are not yet in school or as a extra teaching tool in conjunction with their children's

This is an assessment about Hickory County, Missouri population. The goal is to assess the effects of disabilities or homeless influences and the health literacy of a population. I choose this County because I have a lot of relative lives in this area, and I have been over this county to visit them so many times. This is a very interesting county for me to do a research on. For an accurate research data, there are several methods have been utilized to obtain assessment data, including media resources, call the county public health department, and run a search of articles from a local newspaper and records.

Primary source: I accessed Ovid from the KU Online Library to find “studies written by the researchers who conducted them” (Polit & Beck, 2012, p.95). Some of the search terms that I used were diabetes management obstacles, diabetes management guidelines, diabetes obstacles, and poor diabetes management. I found an interesting article describing a study that was done in five Texas clinics to help manage diabetes within a set population. This study used community health workers to assist patients with their diabetes management. “Interventions utilizing community health workers (CHWs) to assist with diabetes management have demonstrated improvements in patient outcomes” (Walton, Snead, Collinsworth, and Schmidt, 2012, p.161). These healthcare workers created a plan of care for diabetic patients to participate in that provided these patients with longer doctors’ visits with more teaching and patient assessment. It also included more follow up care with continued longer doctors’ visits to ensure that they were on track with managing their diabetes. This study used statistical analysis to measure patients HbA1c levels throughout the study to measure the effectiveness of the study.

Data plays an important role in this research. Collecting adequate and accurate data is paramount. Prior to data collection, requirements have to be established on what statistics are required for research. To build an accurate simulation model, each detail within the process has to be captured. Process maps have been put together to capture the patient flow and understand resource utilization as various types of patients use different resources for statistically variable amount of time.

The advantages of the use of secondary data in needs assessment, design and implementation of intervention measures, and policy changes are numerous. Secondary data are less expensive, this implies that time, money and other resources are saved (Healey & Zimmerman, 2010). My focus for this discussion is Case Study 2, which addressed the health needs assessment of the Waupaca County. Waupaca County, Wisconsin is a rural community of over 50,000 residents (Gilmore, 2012). Given that, it is a popular tourist location, and the survey given had a clause of “do not complete if you are not a city resident”, there exists a chance that all data obtained by primary sources might not be without errors, as tourists might erroneously fill out the survey. Consequently, the secondary method I will apply to collection of data is the use of the American Fact Finder from the United States Census Bureau (n.d.).

This chapter presents the research findings used to address the research questions presented in Chapter One. To that end, demographic is presented for each of the eighteen school districts studied in rural Kentucky. In addition, statistical analyses is presented as it relates to student success in each of the eighteen school districts at the third grade, the sixth grade, and the eleventh grade levels in the content area of reading. The data examined is from the 2015-2016 school year testing cycle as required by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The statistical analyses focuses on the relationship between students’ success, based on the results of the Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress data, and superintendent tenure in each of the districts.

I met with Dr. Slack Tuesday regarding the SRCL inventory that has to be kept post SRCL. Because materials were purchased with federal funds inventory must be kept up to 5 years. She did tell me that possibly a check would happen within the first 3 years after the end of the grant. At this point I think we have a couple of options and I will defer to your suggestions:

In order to evaluate the improvements from these interventions, the baseline chart review was compared to a chart review conducted 2 weeks after the project initiation. Results indicated that documentation became more detailed, objective and factual and hand-offs reports also became standard with incorporation of Kardex and reflected increased accuracy.

The bill was endorsed by a divided vote of the Judiciary Committee on an election poll of 15 to 5 on October 22, 2015. For the bill to become an active law, there were a number of things that they would need to undergo for it to be. The

Governor Jerry Brown is a known supporter of the bill but it has been said he could possibly urge legislators to keep the religious exemption for vaccination. A decision on the bill must be made by September 11, 2015 and if passed will most likely take effect on January 1, 2016. There are many different reasons people are opposing this bill, including: their views on vaccination, the feeling this bill will infringe on their rights, and also because they feel this will basically limit the education children receive based on a religious preference. Now that SB 277 has made it to the third reading in the Assembly it seems that the best person to write to in opposition of the bill would be Governor Brown, who has veto power if the bill passes the assembly and the senate agrees to all amendments. The authors of the bill, Senator Allen and Senator Pan would also be good people to write because they ultimately have to present their bill to the assembly to get it passed. The individual Assembly members, who have yet to vote, would also be good people to try and sway. They can prevent the bill from ever reaching Governor

A great deal of money would be required to fund education and community outreach efforts. Furthermore, it is likely that there would be a significant number of individuals in Arizona who would oppose the law. A universal helmet law could be perceived by individuals as the government intruding upon their rights and freedoms. It is important to acknowledge and recognize this opinion, and ensure the public that this is not a law designed for the government to control another area of constituents lives. Therefore, money would also need to be allocated to town hall meetings, advertising, and lobbyists to support the passing of the bill into a

The bill has essentially cleared the most difficult hurdles and on May 18 went to the governor. It's sponsored by Senator Tim Neville (R-Littleton), along with representatives Jonathan Singer and Jovan Melton.

The purpose of a legislative bill review is to develop a sense of how a bill becomes a law and the detailed bureaucratic rules pertinent to the procedure. Understanding the legislative process is an effective tool for advocacy. If advocates fail to follow a specific procedural instruction it can result in significant challenges that may cause the advocacy effort to stall or be disrupted. This paper will review a single bill, discuss the legislative process attached to the specified bill, and explain the potential social implications of the bills enactment.
