Question

A. Develop a research question to further investigate the Salmonella in the Caribbean health issue and impacted population.

B. Determine whether an observational or experimental research design would be more appropriate to investigate your research question. Be sure to justify your determination.

C. Explain the importance of further research for improving the quality of health in the specific population. What is the potential benefit?

Answer 1

A.

How is salmonellosis diagnosed ? How does the method of diagnosis impact our understanding of the occurrence of salmonellosis in the community (e.g. burden of disease,trends over time, high-risks populations)?

To detect outbreaks of Salmonellosis,investigate risk factors for infection and what characteristics should a communicable disease surveillance system have ?

B.

Experimental research designs would be more appropriate than observational research because

1. the researchers have no control in observational researches but in experimental research,researchers can do so.

2. Experimental research can give good evidence and can compare two or more groups than observational research because its just a study where researchers simply collect data based on what is seen and heard and infer based on the data collected.

3.In an experiment research, the researcher manipulates every aspect for deriving a conclusion. In observational study, no experiment is conducted ,researchers depends more on data collected.

C.

1.Patient Safety:-

Patients should not be harmed by health care services that are intended to help them.

2.Effectiveness:-

Effective care is based on scientific evidence that treatment will increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes.

3: Timeliness:-

Failure to provide timely care can deny people critically needed services or allow health conditions to progress and outcomes to worsen. Health care needs to be organized to meet the needs of patients in a timely manner.

4: Patient Centered:

Health care services should be personalized for each patient, care should be coordinated, family and friends on whom the patient relies should be involved, and care should provide physical comfort and emotional support.

5. Equity: -

The health care system should benefit all people. The evidence is strong and convincing that the current system fails to accomplish this goal.

6.Efficiency:-

Efficiency should be high so that chances of failure of health care could be low.
