  • Financing healthcare is one of the greatest priorities for the healthcare system

    Financing healthcare is one of the greatest priorities for the healthcare system in Saudi Arabia. While policymakers agree that more Saudi nationals need health insurance coverage, the debate often revolves around how it should be financed. Identify a healthcare professional who works primarily in the area of finance (e.g., Chief Financial Officer, Controller, etc.) and a specific policy that addresses the financial aspect of delivering healthcare. Contact the individual to conduct an interview about the policy.
    Based on what you learned this week, be sure to include the following information in your interview:
    Identify the interviewee, including their job title, place of employment, location, and how long they have been in the area of finance.
    The goals and objectives of your interview.
    Description of the finance policy.
    What were some of the benefits of the policy?
    What are the challenges of meeting the requirements outlined in the policy?
    What can be done to improve the effectiveness of the policy?
    Here are some suggested questions:
    What are the mission and vision statements for your organization?
    How do these mission and vision statements assist in helping your organization focus on healthy living promotions?
    How are the daily operations for your organization meeting policy? What are some of the areas that may lead to improvement regarding any policy updates?
    What are some of the challenges that you are currently experiencing with your policy revisions?
    What are some of the benefits your policy is providing to patients or clients?
    What are some of the recommendations that you may have regarding policy improvement both internally and externally?
    Your report should meet the following structural requirements:
    Be five to six pages in length, not including the cover or reference pages.
    Be formatted according to APA 7th edition and Saudi Electronic University writing guidelines.
    Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of three scholarly articles. The Saudi Digital Library is an excellent source for scholarly research. One of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures.
    You are strongly encouraged to submit all assignments to the Turnitin Originality Check prior to submitting them to your instructor for grading. If you are unsure how to submit an assignment to the Originality Check tool, review the Turnitin Originality Check Student Guide.

  • Thank you for your selection of a study that utilizes a quantitative design. I

    Thank you for your selection of a study that utilizes a quantitative design. I noticed that the title did not include the methodology specifically. Could you clarify her your study is experimental or quasi-experimental? To do so, what characteristics made you justify the classification of quasi-experimental?
    I am delighted to hear your thoughts.
    this is my Discussion
    ‘Evaluate the Effect of Education Interventions in the Prevention of Diabetic Foot Ulcers through Knowledge of the Disease and Self-Care Practices in Saudi Arabia’ (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
    Throughout the world, diabetes mellitus is a serious social issue. Professionals find it difficult to treat diabetic foot ulcers. The six main factors that impede diabetic foot ulcers from healing are infection, glycaemic management, vascular supply, smoking, food, and deformity. The goal of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of educational interventions at preventing diabetic foot ulcers by raising awareness of the illness and encouraging self-care behaviors (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
    The researcher used a quasi-experimental approach. The internal medicine department and outpatient clinic of Umulj General Hospital hosted the research project in 2016. The experiment included 60 persons with diabetes mellitus in total. The Ministry of Health and the University of Tabuk Research Ethics Committee both approved the project (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
    Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, whose age and gender range from 18 to 60 years old, and who have had diabetes for more than 5 years are eligible, Patients with gastroparesis, orthostatic hypotension, and hypoglycemic unawareness (autonomic neuropathy), mentally ill patients, and hearing or visual impairments are excluded from the study (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
    Two patient groups were chosen at random: the first group, which received an educational program with instructions and was trained on the tasks in it (n = 30), and the second group, which served as the control group (n = 30). Participants in the control group underwent standard medical care in the hospital (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
    The following resources were employed to gather the data required for the study:. The study was conducted in three phases: pre-study, implementation, and evaluation. The first tool was patients assessment, the second was a created nursing intervention protocol, and the third tool was an observational checklist for foot care (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
    The research and control groups revealed a substantial correlation between the patient’s knowledge of diabetes-related topics and their degree of education and practice (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
    The study found that after implementing the developed training program, patients’ knowledge, capacity to do self-foot care, and level of patient awareness all improved significantly (Mohamed & Kersha, 2018).
    Lack of high-quality data frequently hinders the use of quasi-experimental methods. Any approach established after a program or policy has already ended can suffer considerably from the lack of baseline data (White & Sabarwal, 2014).
    Causal inferences obtained via quasi-experimental approaches are less certain than those drawn from a well-conducted randomized controlled trial since they depend on certain assumptions (RCT). On the other hand, if done well and presented clearly (i.e., by making obvious the limits and how they affect the results), quasi-experimental procedures are frequently favorably received by decision makers (White & Sabarwal, 2014).
