Use a national, state or local population health care database (http://www.healthdata.org/united-states-wisconsin) to research indicators of disparity. Choose a mortality/morbidity indicator to identify a clinical problem or issue that you want to explore pertaining to a population of focus. Use this indicator to begin to formulate a PICOT and conduct research on the population.
Utilize this PICOT question:
P Are individuals over the 18, with a BMI over 30
(http://www.healthdata.org/united-states-wisconsin Wisconsin weight increased 17.7% in 10 years)
I who utilize a community based program
C compared with those that do not utilize assistance
O successful at losing weight/decreasing body fat by 2 % or greater
T over 6 months (variable time frame)
Write a 750-1,000-word paper that analyzes your research and focuses on the population you have chosen. Describe the population\’s demographics and health concerns, and explain how nursing science, health determinants, and epidemiologic, genomic, and genetic data may impact population health management for the selected population. Provide an overview of a potential solution for solving the health issue related to your population and the intended PICOT statement. Describe how the solution incorporates health policies and goals that support health care equity for the population of focus.
