Imagine you were a policy analyst to the Minister of Health in your country(USA) who has been tasked with helping address the impact of Diabetes. What types of policy interventions would you recommend for tackling a disease like Diabetes, which may require the use of specialized medical technologies and health services such as dialysis but can often be prevented through healthy eating and increased physical activity?
In your response, be sure to: 
Explain how the social determinants of health are linked to risk factors and morbidity & mortality for Diabetes. 
Describe 3 policy interventions using arguments supported by your readings. 
For each intervention, identify the policy approach (health care policy, public health policy, or health in all policies) that was tied to each of the proposed policy interventions. 
Explain why you selected each approach and how it addresses the social determinants of health.

Overview
Using relevant and trustworthy sources is a key element of conducting research in any field. Primary and secondary sources provide information necessary for historians to develop theories or interpretations about the past. In this activity, you will explore the existing literature relevant to your research question and identify one primary and one secondary source that will help you answer your research question.
Please remember to review and keep all instructor feedback. Each module activity will prepare you for an aspect of your final project, and you will have a future opportunity to improve your work.
Prompt
Use the provided Module Two Activity Template: Primary and Secondary Sources Word Document to complete this activity. You will first discuss the differences between primary and secondary sources and articulate why using both are essential to historical research. You will then identify sources relevant to the research question you wrote in the previous module. Finally, you will identify a current event related to the subject of your historical research question.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Distinguish between primary and secondary sources.
What are the differences between them?
Explain why it is important to consult a variety of sources when conducting historical research.
Why should you avoid relying only on one type of source? What are the benefits of using a diversity of sources?
Identify one primary source that would help investigate your research question.
Using the HIS 100 Library Guide in the Shapiro Library, skim through the suggested resources or find your own from the Shapiro Library. Ensure they are credible and relevant to your research question.
Identify one secondary source that would help investigate your research question.
Using the HIS 100 Library Guide in the Shapiro Library, skim through the suggested resources or find your own from the Shapiro Library. Ensure they are credible and relevant to your research question.
Choose a current event related to the subject of your research question and explain how they are connected.
Read what you wrote in the previous module’s activity about how your historical topic is relevant to modern society. Using your response and what you have learned thus far about your topic, identify a specific current event that you feel is relevant to your research question. Then explain how the current event is connected to your research question. Keep in mind that the link between your topic and your current event will become clearer as you continue to research.
What to Submit
Submit the Module Two Activity Template: Primary and Secondary Sources. While references are not required, any sources used should be cited according to APA style if you reference them in your responses. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations.
Note: I left what I already wrote with the comments of the tutor. Hopefully,  youcan do something better than I did
My question from my prior activity assignment: ·        
Write a clear, relevant, and focused research
question about your finalized topic. 
o  
How did the Tulsa Massacre of 1921 impact the
socio-economic and political landscape of African American communities in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the United States as a whole? 

Scenario:
You are a HIM department supervisor, and you have been appointed to the interview panel for a candidate seeking a coding position in your department.  Include the Job description you created in Week #1. 
Assume that several applicants have applied, and you are ready to interview them with a panel of supervisory personnel, including Human resources and the billing office supervisor. 
Create 5 question topics you will ask your candidate in your interview.  You need questions that will assess the candidate in a short period of time. 
For each question,  use the format in the example below to summarize the type of information you are looking for in the answer, both positive and negative answers, and why(analysis)
Example: 
Topic: Soft Skills with Patient Services (ie ROI requests)
Question: “Can you tell me how you would handle a difficult situation dealing with customer (patient) service, such as a complaint? How would you approach the situation, and what is the best outcome that you would seek?”
Positive response from a candidate:  I would listen, empathize, and collaborate with supervisors if needed for a solution to an unfamiliar problem.  The goal would be to calmly resolve the problem within the scope of my role and the restrictions of HIPAA, compliance, and organizational policy. 
Negative Response from the candidate: “I haven’t really had difficult client interactions. I usually just try to keep the peace. The customer is always right.” 
Analysis: The positive response shows problem-solving skills, empathy, and proactive customer management. The negative response suggests a lack of experience or willingness to handle challenging situations.
See the Rubric for grading: 
Include references in APA format, and proofread your work.

The hospital administration has asked you, the project lead for the department expansion project, for additional information on your facility as well as sustainability recommendations. You realize this important part of facility design is your responsibility. Digging deeper into the GSA website, you analyze health care facility designs from the perspective of sustainability.
Preparation
Familiarize yourself with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Sustainable Facilities Tool website.
Using the University Library, CMS.gov, or Google Scholar, research the elements required to support the sustainability of your facility.
Assessment Deliverable
Create a 12- to 15-slide presentation to the board of directors as it relates to the facility you are designing (avoid using presentation links or PDF).

Include the following in your presentation:
Describe the strategic and appropriate floor planning (picture of a floor plan is suggested) with citation.
Analyze the purpose and needs of your planned health care facility (citation)
Identify the necessary assets of your health care facility, such as furniture and equipment (citation)
Based on the GSA Sustainable Facilities Tool, make a recommendation on maximizing the economic, social, and environmental sustainability of your health care facility. (citation) HINT – Include possible solutions to meet the critical thinking requirements in the grading rubric with this assignment. 
Include a title slide, a reference slide, and detailed speaker notes of at least 50 words per slide. Pictures and color/graphs are needed to support the presentation.  The slides should have minimal information on them (highlights) and the speaker notes with the details and citation—speaker notes are required.
Cite a minimum of 3 references and format according to APA guidelines (class textbook is acceptable to use as one of the 3 references).
