Therefore, the underlying thesis of this paper is that if the United States is to increase the health of its populations, it must restructure its present priorities in healthcare to put more importance on the planning, prevention, and promotion of health. Many researchers have identified numerous different influences on health outcomes, and both quality of life, as well as financial benefits associated with health care planning that incorporates preventative as well as treatment strategies (Glanz, Rimer, & Viswanth, 2015; Tryon et al
Likewise, lifestyle choices may also impact on the way preventative medicine is perceived, and the value associated with it. For example, in recently there has been an increased incidence of measles in the United States, resulting from lifestyle choices of certain parents to refrain from immunising their children against disease (Gumbel, 2015)
, 2015). Recent shifts in technology, and the understanding of genetics may also result in increased potential use of gene therapy, with the prospect of identifying conditions at an early stage with knowledge of potential predispositions (Nussbaum et al
Here, it is possible to see the way in which the external environment will impact on the way medical services are provided, indicating a strong influence with the external environment. However, this category focuses on the medical services themselves that are provided, incorporating all services that help people to be well, diagnosis and treatment, as well as preventative care (Slee, Slee, & Schmidt, 2008)
, 2014). This trend indicates that preventative strategies are also needed in order to reduce the manifestation of many preventable diseases, utilising a multidisciplinary approach, including consideration of aspect such as environment and lifestyle (Shi & Singh, 2014; Bauer et al
Leadership in the closing phase of the project concerns ensuring that things have been done while encouraging the members towards successful closure of the project. As stated in Assignment One, the project manager must lead the team and stakeholders through a fine-tuned project study so as to confirm whether the project goals are met (Hill, 2014)
The leader directs and steers the team participants to cope with the current situation and utilize the situation to one's advantage. Issues related to communication enable the project staff to understand that the project is in the closing phase and that the goals have been attained (Watt, 2015)
Any alterations in these attributes denote a change in one's view of self, from a social perspective. Through one's cultural identity, the following question may be answered: What constitutes the proper way for somebody of my ethnic group, to behave in, and interpret their surroundings? (Ponpipom, 1997) Sperry (2010) states that cultural competence and sensitivity in choosing treatment methods is vital for successful counseling, in settings with culturally diverse patients and patient families, especially if they possess a singularly powerful cultural background
Given the increasing interest in cultural factors' impact on psychological evaluation, Sue and Sue conducted a critical evaluation of Asian-American people's assessment issues in 1987. The researchers investigated issues in the following areas (a) psychopathology symptoms and extent, (b) one-on-one clinical evaluation, and (c) personality appraisal (Sue & Sue, 1987), and contended that, health providers and academicians might end up coming to invalid and inappropriate conclusions if they fail to understand cultural factors
The industry, however, must also hold tremendous promise. In many prior bubbles, such as with railroads, or the South Sea bubble in 1720, the vague idea that the new industry will result in great riches for investors helps to convince people to invest en masse in something that they know next to nothing about (Ofek & Richardson, n
