With the increased mobility of human populations, diseases can quickly spread around the world. In addition, changes in vaccination practices have revealed an increase in communicable diseases that were once thought to be under control. These global health issues present new problems for community health officials.

In the Bentonville simulation, you learned how an influenza virus impacted the community. You will provide a PDF report of your completed activities.

In this task, you will also analyze an outbreak of a specific global communicable disease that occurred in the last 50 years that crossed international borders (e.g., the measles outbreak that moved from the Philippines to the United States).

REQUIREMENTS

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. An originality report is provided when you submit your task that can be used as a guide

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course. 

A.  Select one of the following communicable diseases that has had an outbreak across international borders:

•  influenza

•  measles

•  respiratory syndrome coronavirus

•  meningococcal disease

•  HIV/AIDS

•  Ebola virus

•  hepatitis B

•  hepatitis C

•  tuberculosis

•  Zika virus
B.  Describe the outbreak of the disease selected in part A, including each of the following:

•  name of the disease

•  the countries involved

•  the date the outbreak was discovered

•  the dates the disease reached each involved country

1.  Analyze the epidemiological determinants and risk factors associated with the outbreak.

2.  Discuss the route of transmission of the selected disease.

3.  Discuss how an outbreak of the selected disease would impact your community at a systems level (e.g., the functioning of schools, local government, businesses, hospitals).

4.  Explain what the reporting protocol would be if an outbreak of the selected disease were to occur in your community.

5.  Discuss two strategies (e.g., patient education strategies, community education strategies) that you would recommend to prevent an outbreak of the selected disease in your community.

Whether this paper/project has a “practice” focus or a “theory” focus, there must be at least four adjusting journal entries, from the covered course material, embedded in the paper, along with the impact your journal entries have on EPS and Net Income.  Each source in the bibliography must include:  Human Author (even if you must use the CEO); Title (Type of Financial Statement ie. 10-K or 10-Q); Publisher or Web Address (or at least the Corporation’s Name); Year; and Page Numbers that you referenced.

Option #2: A Presentation

Part I: Influencing Effective Change in the Organization (185 points)

Reflect on the readings from this course that relate to approaches to effective change.  As part of this assignment, consider the importance of creating a diverse organization and creating a culture in which employees are motivated and productive.

1.   Define the importance of leading effective change within an organization
2.    Share two benefits of creating and accepting diversity within the organization
3.    Define the concept organizational culture and its impact in the workplace

Your well-written paper should be 3-4 pages, include a minimum of three outside resources, and be formatted according to CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.). The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these resources. For more information, see the Portfolio Project Rubric in the Module 8 folder.

Part II: Scenario (165 points)

For this section of the Portfolio Project, you will demonstrate how you would influence change within an organization based on the scenario below.

Imagine you are a Sales Manager for a large retail store.  The economic downturn has resulted in the loss of 7 out of 15 staff members that used to be on your team.  Sales have decreased in the past year and the store is suffering significant financial loss.  Your regional leader has asked that you develop a plan to increase sales by 20% in the next year.  You turn to your employees for their assistance.  Describe how you would tackle this request considering the following:

As a leader, how would you deliver this information to your existing staff?  For example, how would you introduce this project to your staff?  What leadership skills would you use to implement this change successfully?
How might diversity serve as an advantage to reaching this goal?  What kinds of strategies would you employ to ensure each person is part of the project and is working from their strengths?  How might a diverse staff and/or cliental be a benefit to the overarching goal?
What tools would you implement to create a departmental/organizational culture that is productive and innovative?  Describe at least three strategies that would accomplish this. How might best practices such as motivation contribute to organizational culture?

Part II of your Portfolio may be delivered in the form most suitable to represent this section (e.g. written paper, PowerPoint or use an Internet-based presentation tool such as Prezi or Slide Rocket, a Web page or a video). The profile should be well written; if you choose the written format the paper should be 5-6 pages in length. If you choose an alternative format, it should contain the same depth, breadth, substance and quality of form that would be in a well-written 5- to 6-page paper. A presentation should contain 10-12 content slides with fully annotated notes plus a title slide and reference slide using APA standards. A web page or a video must also have a title as well as references. This part of the Portfolio assignment must cite at least 3 outside references.

For more information, review the Portfolio Project Rubric.
