This assessment has four parts. Click each of the items below for more
information on this Assessment.
Part 1: Cultural Competence Training Procedure
Imagine you are a student in healthcare administration who is doing an
internship in a large primary care organization in an urban city in Florida. The
organization has multiple locations and several types of services within a
culturally diverse and underserved community. You are asked to prepare
a short 1-to-2-page training procedure to help improve the staff’s cultural
competence. Include the following:
•
•
•
Describe the goals of the procedure, including 3 to 4 goals that reflect data
on the changing patient population including changing patient
demographics. The goals should demonstrate the need to overcome
health disparities.
Create 3 to 4 well-described best practices to be implemented
throughout the organization. Include a description of the best practices for
ensuring improvement in communication with patients and providers in a
diverse population.
Describe at least 3 organizations that support cultural diversity standards
in healthcare including how each will help improve cultural diversity
standards.
Part 2: Leading State Health Issues Presentation
As a healthcare administrator, you are seeking to engage with your local
government official about the leading health issues affecting the state and
how the marketing of certain products and lifestyles contribute to unhealthy
behavior.
Develop a 12 to 15 slide presentation for the public official in your state. The
presentation should focus on highlighting the leading health issues in your
state and the marketing of certain products and lifestyles may contribute to
unhealthy behavior. Your presentation should include the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
One slide listing the top five leading causes of death in your state.
One slide listing thetop five chronic diseases in your state.
Three to four slides highlighting unhealthy products and lifestyle choices
that contribute to unhealthy lifestyles, chronic diseases, and possibly
death. Be sure to focus on public awareness.
Two to three slides recommending lifestyle changes to improve health
specifically related to the top 5 leading causes of death in your state.
Two slides summarizing how different types of marketing impact health
outcomes (one marketing example of unhealthy products and one
marketing example for healthy products).
One to two slides showing the financial impact of an unhealthy lifestyle
and chronic disease.
One slide highlighting 2 or 3 forms of legislation, policies, or initiatives at
the state or local government level that improve overall health.
One slide conclusion.
One to three slides for references.
Part 3: Proposal for Telemedicine Program
The primary care organization network where you work is interested in the
uses of telemedicine to improve outcomes and to lower operational costs for
multiple underserved communities. Given the increase in Telemedicine due to
the recent Covid-19 Pandemic, a lot of new information and studies have
come out on the impact of Telemedicine. Your organization wants to ensure
they make the right choice. As a result, you have been tasked creating a 1-2
page proposal for the top must-have features of a Telemedicine program. For
example, consider patient privacy, functionality, and compliance, among
others. Your proposal should include at least one feature that address each of
the following requirements for a successful Telemedicine program:
•
•
•
Functionality,
Patient Privacy, and
Compliance.
Then explain the features you selected and why they are required for a
telemedicine program.
Part 4: Analysis of PCP and RN Shortages
The United States is projected to experience a significant shortage of primary
care physicians (PCPs) and registered nurses (RNs), which is expected to
intensify with the aging baby-boomer population. According to the Association
of American Medical Colleges (AAMC, 2020), it has been estimated that by
2030 the country could experience a shortage of between 54,100 and139,000
primary care physicians, which often affects those living in inner-city
communities and rural America. According to Zhang et al (2018), by 2030
there could be a deficit of Registered Nurses of over 510,000. As the need for
healthcare grows, the uneven distribution and growing deficit of resources and
providers leaves a large percentage of Americans at risk.

As a healthcare administrator of a healthcare network, you have been asked
to analyze physician and registered nurse shortages in either a rural or innercity community with which you are familiar. Your analysis should include the
following:
•
•
•
•
Explain why there may be a shortage of PCPs in the rural or inner-city
community you selected (1–2 paragraphs)
How is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)
addressing the shortage of PCPs and RNs? (1–2 paragraphs)
What other programs are available to address the shortage of primary care
physicians and registered nurses? What action are the programs taking?
(1–2 paragraphs)
How is the shortage impacting healthcare delivery? Be specific by
providing examples and support your response with academic resources.

information on this Assessment.
Part 1: Cultural Competence Training Procedure
Imagine you are a student in healthcare administration who is doing an
internship in a large primary care organization in an urban city in Florida. The
organization has multiple locations and several types of services within a
culturally diverse and underserved community. You are asked to prepare
a short 1-to-2-page training procedure to help improve the staff’s cultural
competence. Include the following:
•
•
•
Describe the goals of the procedure, including 3 to 4 goals that reflect data
on the changing patient population including changing patient
demographics. The goals should demonstrate the need to overcome
health disparities.
Create 3 to 4 well-described best practices to be implemented
throughout the organization. Include a description of the best practices for
ensuring improvement in communication with patients and providers in a
diverse population.
Describe at least 3 organizations that support cultural diversity standards
in healthcare including how each will help improve cultural diversity
standards.
Part 2: Leading State Health Issues Presentation
As a healthcare administrator, you are seeking to engage with your local
government official about the leading health issues affecting the state and
how the marketing of certain products and lifestyles contribute to unhealthy
behavior.
Develop a 12 to 15 slide presentation for the public official in your state. The
presentation should focus on highlighting the leading health issues in your
state and the marketing of certain products and lifestyles may contribute to
unhealthy behavior. Your presentation should include the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
One slide listing the top five leading causes of death in your state.
One slide listing thetop five chronic diseases in your state.
Three to four slides highlighting unhealthy products and lifestyle choices
that contribute to unhealthy lifestyles, chronic diseases, and possibly
death. Be sure to focus on public awareness.
Two to three slides recommending lifestyle changes to improve health
specifically related to the top 5 leading causes of death in your state.
Two slides summarizing how different types of marketing impact health
outcomes (one marketing example of unhealthy products and one
marketing example for healthy products).
One to two slides showing the financial impact of an unhealthy lifestyle
and chronic disease.
One slide highlighting 2 or 3 forms of legislation, policies, or initiatives at
the state or local government level that improve overall health.
One slide conclusion.
One to three slides for references.
Part 3: Proposal for Telemedicine Program
The primary care organization network where you work is interested in the
uses of telemedicine to improve outcomes and to lower operational costs for
multiple underserved communities. Given the increase in Telemedicine due to
the recent Covid-19 Pandemic, a lot of new information and studies have
come out on the impact of Telemedicine. Your organization wants to ensure
they make the right choice. As a result, you have been tasked creating a 1-2
page proposal for the top must-have features of a Telemedicine program. For
example, consider patient privacy, functionality, and compliance, among
others. Your proposal should include at least one feature that address each of
the following requirements for a successful Telemedicine program:
•
•
•
Functionality,
Patient Privacy, and
Compliance.
Then explain the features you selected and why they are required for a
telemedicine program.
Part 4: Analysis of PCP and RN Shortages
The United States is projected to experience a significant shortage of primary
care physicians (PCPs) and registered nurses (RNs), which is expected to
intensify with the aging baby-boomer population. According to the Association
of American Medical Colleges (AAMC, 2020), it has been estimated that by
2030 the country could experience a shortage of between 54,100 and139,000
primary care physicians, which often affects those living in inner-city
communities and rural America. According to Zhang et al (2018), by 2030
there could be a deficit of Registered Nurses of over 510,000. As the need for
healthcare grows, the uneven distribution and growing deficit of resources and
providers leaves a large percentage of Americans at risk.
