Abnormal brain development or damage at an early age can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders. Within this group of disorders, some are resolvable with appropriate and timely interventions, either pharmacological or nonpharmacological, while other disorders are chronic and need to be managed throughout the lifespan.

For this Assignment, you will develop a study guide for an assigned disorder and share it with your colleagues. In sum, these study guides will be a powerful tool in preparing for your certification exam.

CASE STUDY : Please complete your assignment on Autism Spectrum Disorder

To Prepare

• Your Instructor will assign you to a specific neurodevelopmental disorder from the DSM-5.
• Research your assigned disorder using the Walden Library. Then, develop an organizational scheme for the important information about the disorder.

The Assignment.

CASE STUDY: Please complete your assignment on Autism Spectrum Disorder

Create a study guide for your assigned disorder. Your study guide should be in the form of an outline with references, and you should incorporate visual elements such as concept maps, charts, diagrams, images, color coding, mnemonics, and/or flashcards. Be creative! It should not be in the format of an APA paper. Your guide should be informed by the DSM-5 but also supported by at least three other scholarly resources.

Areas of importance you should address, but are not limited to, are:

• Signs and symptoms according to the DSM-5
• Differential diagnoses
• Incidence
• Development and course
• Prognosis
• Considerations related to culture, gender, age
• Pharmacological treatments, including any side effects
• Nonpharmacological treatments
• Diagnostics and labs
• Comorbidities
• Legal and ethical considerations
• Pertinent patient education considerations

Write a 4-6 page analysis of Limited access to healthcare, including a proposed solution and possible ethical implications.

1. Describe the health care problem and provide details about it.
   • Explore your chosen topic. For this, you should use the first four steps of the Socratic Problem-Solving Approach
   • Identify possible causes for the problem or issue.
2. Use scholarly information to describe and explain the health care problem or issue and identify possible causes for it.
   • Identify at least three scholarly or academic peer-reviewed journal articles about the topic
   • • Assess the credibility of the information sources.
     • Assess the relevance of the information sources.
3. Analyze the health care problem or issue.
   • Describe the setting or context for the problem or issue.
   • Describe why the problem or issue is important to you.
   • Identify groups of people affected by the problem or issue.
   • Provide examples that support your analysis of the problem or issue.
4. Discuss potential solutions for the health care problem or issue.
   • Describe what would be required to implement a solution.
   • Describe potential consequences of ignoring the problem or issue.
   • Provide the pros and cons for one of the solutions you are proposing.
5. Explain the ethical principles (Beneficence, Nonmaleficence, Autonomy, and Justice) if potential solution was implemented.
   • Describe what would be necessary to implement the proposed solution.
   • Explain the ethical principles that need to be considered (Beneficence, Nonmaleficence, Autonomy, and Justice) if the potential solution was implemented.
   • Provide examples from the literature to support the points you are making.

Develop data-driven research questions for addressing professional problems

Scenario

Congratulations! You have successfully made it through two rounds of interviews for an internal position that will focus heavily on research skills. The hiring team has narrowed the candidate field to you and one other candidate, and now they want to understand your process and rationale for creating research-based questions. You have been asked by the interview committee to present your process and rationale for creating one research-based question in order to exhibit your leadership qualities in your critical thinking about research.

Directions

Research Question and Process

Document your process and rationale for creating one research-based question that addresses the problem you identified in your previous research studies.

1. Create a research question that meets the following criteria:
   • Researchable
   • Measurable but not too factual
   • Complex yet clear
   • Neither too broad nor too narrow
   • Has value for gathering information
   • Has relevance to your identified research problem
2. Identify the problem your research question addresses.
   • Summarize the problem the profession faces.
     • Identify the most important factor(s) in the problem that your question was created to answer.
3. Demonstrate how you developed your question through the following four steps:
   • Identify patterns of symptoms.
   • Analyze patterns of symptoms.
   • Investigate symptoms through research.
   • Hone question through multiple iterative drafts.
4. Identify how to mitigate multiple threats to the ethical research process within your topic. Include the following:
   • When and how you might consider various ethical threats, including personal bias
   • How you might ensure these threats were reduced or mitigated in your question

The learner is expected to spend eight (8) hours at the not-for-profit organization performing volunteer service as well as learning about the organizational behavior aspects of the organization. The learner’s experience will culminate in a written report summarizing the learner’s experience as well as addressing several organizational behavior concepts encountered during the experience. final paper summarizing the service learning experience will be uploaded into Canvas and will contain the following elements: • Identification ? Identification of the agency or organization for which service was performed. ? Des?r?ption of the purpose or mission of the agency or organization. ? Des?r?ption of the work done by the learner. ? Des?r?ption of the area or department of the organization observed by the learn. The agency i would like you to write about is the “Mississippi Public Health Institute” . MSPHI cultivates partnerships that bolster and advance program innovation and health equity while increasing the accessibility and impact of health resources, education, health awareness, and applied research and policy.Our mission is to engage in partnerships and activities that improve Mississippi’s health.With an experienced staff and deep pool of consultants, MSPHI can scale up or down to meet the needs of any engagement. We work primarily across four interrelated domains.Across the four, MSPHI conducts formative and evaluative research, program implementation, capacity building, workforce development and training, community needs assessment, and coalition building. Their team can rapidly, efficiently, and effectively deploy resources to meet state, regional, and community needs.

Policy gets updated annually in most healthcare organizations. This is due to several reasons. Policy is a course or principle of action adopted or proposed by a government, party, business, or individual. These courses are anything but permanent. A great deal of a healthcare administrator’s attention is devoted to the updating, implementation, and development of new departmental and organizational policy based on local, state, federal, and global standards.

Your task for this Individual Project (IP) is to write a paper covering why policies are added, changed, or updated.

Explore the following articles on healthcare policy in detail for perspective for your paper:

• Health-Related Policies
• What’s Ahead for Health Policy
• When a Health Policy Causes Harm

Based on the information provided in the course and your own independent research, write a paper that addresses the following:

• What can happen if policy is not analyzed and updated on a regular basis?
• Provide an example of how a policy implemented to improve something may cause harm to individuals.
• What do you see as critical changes that will need to be made in terms of health policy in the United States?
• What resources can you use to develop new policies?
