Assignent Solutionnurs

Infectious Disease Outbreaks Purpose Discussion board assignments provide you the opportunity to share what you have learned in this course, and to learn from your peers by participating in a discussion. Overview There are a number of issues that cause delays in accurately detecting disease through traditional surveillance systems. Real-time disease detection for syndromic surveillance systems is not yet a reality. Several studies suggest that sophisticated information systems may soon be able to communicate information to public health professionals and the general public before, during and after epidemics. Instructions Complete the following reading: Magid, A., Gesser-Edelsburg, A., & Green, M. S. (2018). The Role of Informal Digital Surveillance Systems Before, During and After Infectious Disease Outbreaks: A Critical Analysis, Defence Against Bioterrorism (pp. 189-201). Springer, Dordrecht. Provide a brief description of the Magid, Gesser-Edelsburg, & Green (2018) investigation and underlying epidemiology for one of the following outbreaks: • Ebola hemorrhagic fever (2000-2001) • Legionnaire’s Disease (1976) • Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) (2002-2003) • The Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) (2014) Discuss the following: • How was the disease detected? • What impact did it have? • What did the investigation reveal? • What resulted from the investigation? • How might digital surveillance systems help to provide information to public health providers and the public in real-time? • Is the world better prepared for future epidemics? How can we be sure? First, you will share your initial discussion post based on the assignment guidelines. • Submit an analysis • Use course content and external sources to support your thoughts. o Cite using APA style • Write a 500 – 750 word-initial discussion post • Please be sure to provide references to the peer-reviewed literature. For graduate-level scholarship this is a requirement. I am looking for you to go beyond the assigned readings and use the literature to support your conclusions and analysis. At the graduate level, we are not able to simply assert our opinions but it must be linked to the theories and supported by scholarly work. For this class, in particular, I would like you to support your analysis with the most current literature possible. Use of external non-peer reviewed sources can also be utilized in conjunction with your peer-reviewed sources such as government websites and think tanks. • A minimum of 2-3 references from academic peer-reviewed journals is required • Post your response in the corresponding Discussion Board
