Understanding the Role of Qualitative Data Methods in Community Health Needs Assessment   Qualitative data collection methods are utilized primarily to gain information that cannot necessarily or easily be translated into numbers. You, as a health educator, will use qualitative data collection methods to gather information around the feelings, actions, perceptions, and history of the community regarding the current environment and health issues. You collect these pieces of information knowing that the data is subjective. However, it is the opinion of the community and therefore is relevant.   Consider your own community or a community you are familiar with (African American.) Consider the importance of understanding your selected community’s health issues in order to determine which qualitative data collection methods are most relevant.   Using the following headings:   1.      Identify the different methods of qualitative data collection that can be used in a community health needs assessment. Referencing this week’s readings,    2.      Select a qualitative data collection method to use for collecting information on these health issues in your selected community.   3.      Write a description of the qualitative method of data collection you selected   4.      Explain why it would be the best for obtaining the information you need.   5.      Also, explain the role of trust between a health educator and the community members, and how that relationship might affect the type of qualitative data that can be collected.   6.      Lastly, provide additional strengths and weaknesses of one other method with additional insight and resources.   Support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. (Attached or below.)   https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/assessment/assessing-community-needs-and-resources/qualitative-methods/main   http://www.qualres.org/HomeInte-3595.html

Write a 4–6-page report for a senior leader that communicates your evaluation of current organizational or interprofessional team performance, with respect to prescribed benchmarks set forth by government laws and policies at the local, state, and federal levels. In addition, advocate for ethical action to address benchmark underperformance and explain the potential for improving the overall quality of care and performance, as reflected on a performance dashboard. In the era of health care reform, many of the laws and policies set forth by government at the local, state, and federal levels have specific performance benchmarks related to care delivery outcomes that organizations must achieve. It is critical for organizational success that the interprofessional care team is able to understand reports and dashboards that display the metrics related to performance and compliance benchmarks. Your evaluation of dashboard metrics for this assessment is the foundation on which all subsequent assessments are based. Therefore, you must complete this assessment first.–SEE ATTACHED Write a report for a senior leader that communicates your evaluation of current organizational or interprofessional team performance with respect to prescribed benchmarks set forth by government laws and policies at the local, state, and federal levels. In addition, advocate for ethical action to address benchmark underperformance and explain the potential for improving the overall quality of care and performance, as reflected on a performance dashboard. Review the performance dashboard metrics, as well as relevant local, state, and federal laws and policies. Consider the metrics that are falling short of the prescribed benchmarks. Structure your report so that it will be easy for a colleague or supervisor to locate the information they need, and be sure to cite the relevant health care policies or laws when evaluating metric performance against established benchmarks. The report requirements outlined below correspond to the scoring guide criteria, so be sure to address each main point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. In addition, be sure to note the requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence. Evaluate dashboard metrics associated with benchmarks set forth by local, state, or federal health care laws or policies. Which metrics are not meeting the benchmark for the organization? What are the local, state, or federal health care policies or laws that establish these benchmarks? What conclusions can you draw from your evaluation? Are there any unknowns, missing information, unanswered questions, or areas of uncertainty where additional information could improve your evaluation? Analyze one challenge that meeting prescribed benchmarks can pose for a heath care organization or interprofessional team. Consider the following examples: Strategic direction. Organizational mission. Resources. Staffing. Financial: Operational and capital funding. Logistical considerations: Physical space. Support services (any ancillary department that gives support to a specific care unit in the organization, such as pharmacy, cleaning services, dietary, et cetera). Cultural diversity in the organization and community. Procedures and processes. Address the following: Why do the challenges you identified contribute, potentially, to benchmark underperformance? What assumptions underlie your conclusions? Evaluate a benchmark underperformance in a heath care organization or interprofessional team that has the potential for greatly improving overall quality or performance. Focus on the benchmark you chose to target for improvement. Which metric is underperforming its benchmark by the greatest degree? Which benchmark underperformance is the most widespread throughout the organization or interprofessional team? Which benchmark affects the greatest number of patients? Which benchmark affects the greatest number of staff? How does this underperformance affect the community that the organization serves? Where is the greatest opportunity to improve the overall quality of care or performance of the organization or interpersonal team and, ultimately, to improve patient outcomes, as you think about the issue and the current poor benchmark outcomes? Advocate for ethical action, directed toward an appropriate group of stakeholders, to address a benchmark underperformance. Who would be an appropriate group of stakeholders to act on improving your identified benchmark metric? Why should the stakeholder group take action? What are some ethical actions the stakeholder group could take that support improved benchmark performance? Organize content so ideas flow logically with smooth transitions. Proofread your report, before you submit it, to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it more difficult for them to focus on the substance of your evaluation and analysis. Support main points, assertions, arguments, conclusions, or recommendations with relevant and credible evidence. Be sure to apply correct APA formatting to source citations and references. Example Assessment: SEE ATTACHED Report Format and Length Format your report using APA style  A title page and references page. An abstract is not required. A running head on all pages. Appropriate section headings. Be sure your report should be 4–6 pages in length, not including the title page and references page. Supporting Evidence Cite 4–6 credible sources from peer-reviewed journals or professional industry publications to support your analysis of challenges, evaluation of potential for improvement, and your advocacy for ethical action.
