Maintaining a focus on smoking behavioural risk factors, identify and critique a specific health promotion program/intervention in Australia which has been developed, implemented, and evaluated to address this risk factor in a target population.
firsthand knowledge of such a program, journals such as the Australian Health Promotion Journal can be accessed which reports on such programs and associated evaluations.
this required to describe, discuss, and analyse this specific program/intervention in terms of the following:
1. Introduction. The Introduction should briefly describe the program/intervention in terms of the goal/s, behavioural risk factor and related health issue/s being addressed, and relevant details of the target population. This section should also include contextual details (e.g., social, cultural and environmental context) relevant to the program’s intervention as well as details of the geographical location if relevant.
2. Target Population Needs. Discuss the needs of the specific target population which have informed the imperative to prioritise the implementation of the health promotion program/ intervention so as to modify the behavioural risk factor and thereby reduce the prevalence of any associated health issue/s. Relevant and substantiated evidence and data associated with these identified needs is required to support your discussion.
3. Ottawa Charter. Identify and further discuss which action areas of the Ottawa Charter have informed the design and implementation of this program/intervention. In relation to each action area of the Ottawa Charter identified, describe the corresponding specific strategies and how and where each of these have been delivered. Analyse the effectiveness of each of these strategies in terms of contributing to risk behaviour modification in the target population and the outcomes of this program/intervention.
4. Partnership Approach. Discuss any evidence that this program/intervention has adopted a partnership approach in its planning and implementation. In terms of the principles underpinning the partnership approach to health promotion, analyse how this program/intervention has exemplified this approach. If the program/intervention that you are critiquing has not adopted a partnership approach, propose whether this approach had the potential to enhance the program/intervention’s delivery, and outcomes. Provide an evidence-based argument for your proposal.
5. Recommendations. Conclude your critique of this program/intervention by providing recommendations of how any aspects of this program/intervention could be designed or implemented to deliver on the prescribed outcomes more effectively. Consider the recognised quote “Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and improve their health” (Health Promotion Glossary, 1998) in your recommendations for this program/intervention.

Discussion: Big Data Risks and Rewards
When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.
From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.
As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and reflect on the web article Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse Execs.
Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or observed.
By Day 3 of Week 5
Post a descriiption of at least one potential benefit of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Then, describe at least one potential challenge or risk of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Propose at least one strategy you have experienced, observed, or researched that may effectively mitigate the challenges or risks of using big data you described. Be specific and provide examples.

1) Explain why you chose this particular topic: Childhood obesity 2) Discuss how your research will or did directly help you or someone else3) Provide your own thoughts on your research and the issue4) Provide at least 5 references included on your reference page.5) 6 pages minimum not including title page or reference page MLA Format

Each column in a logic model table is referred to as an “element”. The number of logic model elements is not standardized and will vary depending on how much detail the program wants to convey. The most common elements in a logic model are:
Programmatic Assumptions: The program theory. The program theory describes the mechanisms of change which are usually based on social science and public health theories. The programmatic assumptions are critical because all the other logic model elements must be aligned to them. Thus, it should appear as the first element (column) in the logic model. The fact that this element does not appear in the three examples illustrates well how many evaluators who use a logic model do not truly understand its purpose.
Inputs: The resources needed to run the activity, such as people, infrastructure, etc.
Activities: What the program is doing. The activity description should be directly aligned to the programmatic assumption.
Outputs: The number of things served or developed as a result of the inputs and activities. Because of its focus on “counts,” the data is usually related to evaluating Oversight and Compliance.
Outcomes: What is expected to change and how it will be measured. This should be aligned with programmatic assumptions and activities.
When evaluating merit and worth, the most important elements are the programmatic assumptions, activities, and outcomes. These are the three elements which must be “logically” connected.
Merit and Worth (M&W) builds upon Program Improvement (PI) and Oversight and Compliance (O&C). Therefore, when developing a Logic Model, you must consider what you have learned across all three evaluation purposes, extracting information for each element of the logic model.
In this fourth part of the Scholar Practitioner Project (SPP), you will build the Logic Model for the evidence-based public health program you previously selected.

Health Sector Transformation program in Saudi Vision 2030
COLLAPSE
Introduction
The Saudi Vision 2030’s Health Sector Transformation Program aims to raise healthcare quality in Saudi Arabia. The initiative has improved healthcare quality in several ways, such as by developing telemedicine services. This paper will discuss two healthcare quality improvements made possible by the Health Sector Transformation Program, how essential objective two applies to a current or former work environment, how to assess a quality improvement effort, and ideas for quality improvement projects.
The Healthcare Quality Improvements Achieved Under the Health Sector Transformation Program:
Implementing electronic health records is the first improvement in healthcare quality achieved under the Health Sector Transformation initiative in Saudi Vision 2030. In 2019, the Saudi Ministry of Health established the National Health Information Center to create and implement an EHR system (Hazazi, & Wilson, 2021). The EHR system enhanced patient safety by facilitating the efficient sharing of patient information among healthcare providers. It has also improved the standard of healthcare service by recording patient data in a timely and accurate manner, allowing for better coordination of care among healthcare providers. Metrics such as medication error reduction, better patient outcomes, and increased patient satisfaction have been used to assess the efficacy of EHRs in improving healthcare quality (Al Nemari, & Waterson, 2022).
The second improvement in healthcare quality achieved under the Health Sector Transformation program is implementing a patient-centered approach to healthcare delivery. The Saudi Ministry of Health has adopted several patient-centered initiatives, including the Patient Experience Program, which aims to improve the patient experience by involving patients in their care and empowering them to make informed choices (Mohiuddin, et al., 2021). This strategy improved healthcare quality by prioritizing patient needs and preferences, resulting in higher patient satisfaction and better health outcomes. Metrics such as patient satisfaction, better health outcomes, and lower healthcare costs have been used to assess the effectiveness of patient-centered care in improving healthcare quality (Rowe & Knox, 2022).
How Key Objective Two Applies to the Work Aetting
As a healthcare worker, I used to work in a hospital where the top goal was to improve the standard and efficiency of health services. Implementing a medication reconciliation scheme was one of my quality improvement projects. The program ensured that precise medication information was gathered and recorded for each patient to lower medication errors. Several departments, including pharmacy, nursing, and medical staff, had to work together to implement the initiative successfully. Creating a standardized medication reconciliation procedure that was simple to duplicate and scalable was one of the program’s significant aspects (Trinh, 2022). The program’s requirement that all medical professionals understand the significance of drug reconciliation and the proper implementation methods presented one of its most complex challenges.
One Quality Improvement Project that I Can Suggest to the Supervisor
I would recommend a patient safety reporting system to my supervisor to enhance the quality of care. Employees could discreetly report incidents, near-misses, and unsafe conditions through this system. The significance of this improvement lies in its potential to foster an environment where mistakes are seen as learning chances and safety is prioritized above all else. To gauge progress, tabs will be kept on everything from the kinds of reports received to the number of actions taken in response to them.
Conclusion
Several advances in healthcare quality have been made thanks to the Health Sector Transformation Program in Saudi Vision 2030. These advances include introducing computerized health records and implementing a patient-centered approach to healthcare delivery. Key Objective two stresses the significance of effectively providing healthcare to patients. Key Objective two is relevant to my present position because of the emphasis on providing timely and effective healthcare services of the highest possible quality.
