Throughout The Course Youll Use The Map Below To Engage Important Po Throughout the course, you'll use the map below to engage important population health concepts. Click on each hot spot to learn more about the population in that area. This week, you discovered that the focus of healthcare has a growing emphasis on population health. Emphasis on quality improvement and tracking outcomes has led to exploring "why?" Why do some patients have trouble controlling their diabetes? Why do some pediatric diabetic patients show up in the emergency department with an uncontrolled episode? These questions have led the DNP scholar and other healthcare providers to consider the social determinants of health. This query also requires that consideration be given to "how?" How do healthcare providers improve outcomes for a given population? Explore these questions as they relate to the populations represented on the interactive map below. Select one of the populations on the map and address the following: I select Hialeah, Florida Culture of interest – Hispanic/Latino Population – 224,669 Individuals diagnosed with heart disease prior to the study year – 1513 age 30 – 40 age 35 – 63 age 40 – 143 age 45 – 189 age 50 – 203 age 55 – 225 age 60 – 299 age 65 – 351 Individuals newly diagnosed with heart disease in the study year – 409 Age 30 – 3 Age 40 – 12 Age 55 – 82 Age 60 – 97 Age 65 – 174 Individuals who died of heart disease in the study year – 531 Age 55 – 105 Age 60 – 130 Age 65 – 210 Average years of life expectancy reduction due to heart disease - Create a culturagram for your selected population. Refer to Week 1, Explore page 2, for guidance in creating a culturagram. You may use the attached template, if you desire. 2-Conduct a search for evidence. Identify one evidence-based intervention to reduce health disparities in the selected population. 3-Consider how the selected intervention addresses at least one of the CLAS standards. Share your professional experience related to the topic. I attached the Culturagram Template, you can do it in the original template.

Paper For Above instruction The focus of this analysis is on the Hispanic/Latino population of Hialeah, Florida, a community with significant health disparities related to heart disease. Chronic illnesses such as heart disease impose a substantial burden on this community, with higher rates of diagnosis, mortality, and reduced life expectancy primarily driven by social determinants of health. Addressing these disparities necessitates a culturally tailored approach that respects the community’s unique cultural dynamics and barriers to healthcare access.
