Final Project: Final Paper

This week, you will describe the range of options that are available to address the problem. (Defining a core list of reasonable options is a critically important part of the process of developing a solution to a problem.) You will also formulate a concise argument for your recommendations for the problem

For this assignment:

Review a reputable source of information on developing options and resolving conflicts when solving problems.

Study the range of options that have previously been proposed or tested for solving your chosen environmental health problem. Create additional potential options based on your own judgment and knowledge. Identify potential advantages and disadvantages of each option.

Write a 15- to 20-page, double-spaced paper in Word format addressing the following:

State the 2- to 3-sentence problem statement you submitted in Week 2.

Briefly introduce the topic of generating options when solving a problem. Describe a formal method by which the advantages and disadvantages of potential options can be evaluated by stakeholder groups to rank the potential options and to resolve conflicts when ranking options.

Describe and analyze several options to address the problem (options). Include solutions for populations with disparities, if applicable.

Limit your consideration to three to four major options. Briefly describe each option and the main advantages and disadvantages of each major option for solving the problem, including:

The likely effectiveness of the proposed solution

Costs in terms of dollars as well as effort and other resources (the exact costs are not needed but options should be described in semiquantitative terms ranging from “very expensive” to “relatively inexpensive” or ranging from “most expensive” to “least expensive”)

Time required for the option to bring about the desired result

Stakeholder issues (limit this section to the key stakeholder groups you identified in your Week 4 landscape paper. Discuss your three to four proposed options with regard to acceptability to certain stakeholders, lack of acceptability to other stakeholders, and common ground for all stakeholders)

Potential unforeseen consequences of the proposed solution or difficulties in implementing the solution

Summarize your three to four chosen options

Clearly identify which option is favored.

Describe why this option is preferred over the other options. Explain why, despite the drawbacks, this is the best action to take.

Identify what, if any, actions may be taken to mitigate or to overcome the negative aspects of your recommendations.

Identify at least three regulatory bodies or industry regulations that specify certification, licensure requirements, or scope of practice for your specialty. Discuss the way these bodies or regulations influence the educational requirements and experiences for your specialty. Advanced practice registered nurses must incorporate the APRN consensus model in their response.

At least 300 words with references no older than 5

coalition called “The Partnership for Community Safety: Strengthening America’s Readiness.” The focus of the partnership was to strengthen the healthcare community’s response to disasters. It brought together several healthcare organizations in an effort to work together toward this goal.

Choose an organization that is a part of this movement, and prepare a paper on the organization. In your paper, include the answers for the following points:

· A brief historical background of the organization

· The main purpose and the role of the organization

· Any regulatory requirements or guidelines, which the organization formulated for disaster preparedness

· Any experience the organization has had with the disaster response

· Any legal or ethical issues that the organization has encountered with regard to emergency preparedness

· Any training the organization conducts for emergency preparedness

· Any other issues found during online research

Using the Internet, research on the topic “The Dark Winter Experiment.” On the basis of your research and your understanding of the topic, answer the following questions:

· What was the Dark Winter experiment? Why was this experiment important?

· How has the experiment helped us today in dealing with an emergency response?
