Materials science is an interdisciplinary field where science and technology are used to develop and apply our understanding of matter at the atomic level to improve existing or to make new materials. It is a fusion of the basic scientific fields of physics and chemistry where knowledge of atomic theory, molecular bonding, and the macroscopic properties of metals, ceramics, and plastics come together to solve manufacturing and engineering problems.

Use the Internet, Argosy University library resources, and your textbook to research materials science. Do the following:

• Discuss scientific and technical concepts related to materials science. Use the manufacturing of one of the following materials as the basis for your response:
  • Plastics
  • Glass
  • Metals
• Discuss how materials science has advanced to the stage where materials can be engineered to fit a specific purpose.
• Provide an example of an application or object that is made of materials specifically engineered for that purpose.

Support your statements with examples. Provide a minimum of three scholarly references.

Write your initial response in 2–3 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Discuss the need for a reliable measurement system that can be used to monitor progress toward targets and to generate reports.

To have a reliable measurement system in health care is an essential for organizations to to determine how successful they have become, one example of this would be Key Performance indicators (KPI),which helps makes progress towards long-term organizational goals, as well as, incorporates information on sources, calculations and definitions for each measure and it also measures progress goals and objectives for organizations that provides a beneficial outcomes or improvements. By monitoring the KPIs it provides useful inputs and to impact evaluation.

Discuss the contents of a typical dashboard for quality.
With the constant change in healthcare, dashboard is a visualized tool that provides awareness, trending, and both planning and actual comparisons. Dashboards are often used in health care in operation room, radiology departments, emergency departments an SICU. With this information from the dashboard the end users will be able to obtain information to make decisions and drive management strategies based off of information that is presented to them.

Discuss the need for reporting and transparency.
Transparency in healthcare is an important aspect in healthcare because it helps with improving quality of care by holding more physicians accountable, improve productivity because health managers will have the knowledge that will help motivate employees, which will make them work more productively, as well as to help reduce operating costs.

It is important to have a reliable measurement system that can be used toward targets and to generate reports because it is important for the growth process of an organization. The measurement system examines and shows the changes in the performance of a business so that you’re able to manage it better.

A dashboard in healthcare is a display of key performance indicators that management teams monitor regularly. The contents of the dashboard provide awareness, trending, planning and comparisons. It helps to set goals and meet them. 

Transparency and public reporting are important to healthcare. transparency provides reliable information on the quality and efficiency on the health care system. It also includes the price of health care services, which allows the decision on which providers or healthcare services to choose.

Vaccine-Preventable Diseases

Influenza is a virus that can be easily spread from person to person and kills thousands of people each year. Healthcare workers are at risk of exposing themselves to infectious diseases from patients and material and therefore can also potentially transmit these diseases to others. Preventing and controlling the spread of vaccine preventable diseases in the health care setting is vital to ensure proper infection control practices should an outbreak occur. As such, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strongly recommend vaccination of health care workers.

You are a public health researcher. You have been asked to identify a vaccine-preventable disease and create a 10 slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint on a research design. Your research design should focus on determining why health care workers are not receiving the vaccination for your selected vaccine-preventable disease in their place of employment.

The presentation should also include the following:

• Researched and identified the disease to create a research plan
• An introduction and synopsis of the selected disease
• History of the public health issue or disease
• Social or behavioral antecedents related to the disease
• Epidemiological relevance of the disease
• Proposed research design
• Sampling plan
• Strengths and weaknesses of chosen research design

 Subject: Management Principles for Health Information Management)

Research one of the following professional organizations; AAPC, ACHE, ACDIS, AHA, AHIMA, AMA, AMIA, HFMA, HIMSS, MGMA, NAHAM, NAHQ, NCRA, or another which applies to your current or future healthcare discipline.  Post Parts I & II in your initial response and respond/reply to at least one classmate in the discussion forum.

PART I – Within your initial discussion or post, comment on the following items:
• Provide insight on how this organization can provide guidance to your profession.
• Discuss whether or not you would join this organization and explain why.
• Explain how you think the members of this organization might be competitors for roles traditionally held by your profession/discipline.

PART II – Leadership in your profession means being involved.  Most of you are located in New Jersey, although some are in other states. 

For those of you in the HIM program when you join AHIMA, you are automatically a member of your state association as well (NJHIMA for most).  There are also local/regional associations focused on different parts of each state. 

For students in the Health Science program investigate local associations which apply to your healthcare discipline.

• Find what local/regional association is closest to you 
• Give one idea of how you can get involved at the state or local/regional association
