[Solved] Managing an Outbreak

Assignment Prompt & Instructions

## **Overview**
In this assignment, you will be tasked with developing a data-driven plan to improve patient outcomes from a transmissible disease outbreak scenario in a typical health care facility.
## **Instructions**
To complete this assignment, remember to reference the resources you found in your Week 6 activity. In addition, you may also use the Internet and Strayer databases as well as refer to your readings in the textbooks.
Write a 5–6 page paper in which you do the following:
1. Evaluate three possible epidemiological approaches you might utilize to manage the chosen outbreak.
– For each of these epidemiological approaches list:
– Two similarities and two differences.
2. Recommend at least six steps in a plan that may be presented to an audience of interest to prevent the proliferation of this particular disease.
– Be sure to include support for recommendations.
3. Use at least six peer-reviewed academic resources (this may include the three sources from your Week 6 activity) in this assignment.
– Use at least six sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. These sources must be less than 5 years old. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment.
