DQ2 Population Health
Approaches to Managing Complex Diseases
Complex diseases can be challenging to manage. Effective
disease management involves incorporating a patient-centered approach to care.
Patients and families are encouraged to be an active part of developing,
implementing, and evaluating the plan of care. When detection, diagnosis, and treatment
moves from the individual to population management, care can become
exponentially more complicated, and often requires a different and more
comprehensive approach.
In the context of a biopsychosocial approach, health care
providers are tasked with implementing collaborative and interdisciplinary
strategies to care. The effective and efficient management of population health
means collaborating with community entities and includes patients, families,
health care organizations, community organizations, and associations. In
addition, a biopsychosocial approach to care includes incorporating
evidence-based practice and standards as well as the regulatory and national
health care initiatives as considerations in care planning.
For your initial post, select a population and a complex
disease (this could be the health issue and population you wrote about in your
Unit 3 assignment, the disease you chose for the first discussion of this unit,
or another appropriate disease and population) and address the following. Be
sure to follow the requirements for initial postings found in the Faculty
Expectations Message (FEM).
Briefly describe your chosen disease and population.
Analyze best-practice population health approaches to
disease prevention and interventions.

DQ1 Leveraging
Technology to Identify Population Health Concerns and Relevant Policies
Technology is a vital tool in collecting and analyzing
health care data. In the realm of population health, data is gathered and
analyzed to identify potential and actual health care trends and issues. For
example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has numerous resources
for data distribution and reporting that can be useful. Additionally, there are
standards and relevant policies that prescribe how data can be gathered and
used, and what technology is appropriate for specific contexts. A clear
understanding of regulations and best practices will assist the health care
provider to ensure that data and information collection meets current standards
to effectively manage chronic diseases, and to promote health and wellness in
individuals, communities, and populations.
In your initial post, address the following. Be sure to

Unit 7 Discussion
DQ1 Applying Levels
of Prevention to a Population-Based Health Issue
The ultimate goal in population-based health care is to
improve the health of the client—whether that client is an individual or an
entire community. The best way to decrease or omit the impact a health issue
may have upon a client is to keep the client healthy, but this is not always
possible. Even if the client’s health is already compromised, a health care
provider can introduce ways to lessen the problem’s impact. Through the
primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of prevention, a health provider can
design interventions that have the best chances to keep the client as healthy
as possible.
For this discussion, use the health issue and population for
which you developed your policy proposal in your Unit 6 assignment and address
the following. Be sure to follow the requirements for initial postings found in
the Faculty Expectations Message (FEM).
Explain how you would apply a primary level of prevention.
What would be the benefits and challenges of applying this
level to your health issue and target population?
Explain how you would apply a secondary level of prevention.

DQ2 Leveraging Health
Policies to Support Prevention
Some of the most effective interventions and prevention
programs utilized the development of health policies as stepping stones to
achieving their goals. For example, secondhand smoke was shown to be very
detrimental to lung health. It was linked to cancer development and to
increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Through the development
of policies, such as prohibiting smoking inside restaurants, the rate of
exposure to secondhand smoke dropped dramatically, thereby reducing lung
cancer, and other related health issues.
