Health Care Costs, Absenteeism, and Presenteeism

Quantitative Reasoning, Introduced Level
In this assignment, your quantitative reasoning skills will be assessed at the “introduced” level. The Quantitative Reasoning rubric will be useful for this purpose. Then in HRM520 your quantitative reasoning skills will be further assessed at the “reinforced” level. Finally, in HRM599 your skills will be assessed at the “emphasized” level.
Case Assignment
This assignment requires you to:
1. Complete 3 tables—one each for Health Care Costs, Absenteeism, and Presenteeism.
2. Use relevant data from the 2018 Employer Health Benefits Survey for as many table categories as possible, such as annual health care costs, health insurance premiums, annual cost increases, and so forth. Some of the data needed for the three tables are not included in the survey. For those, you have the discretion to use relevant data from other reliable sources. The article Wellness ROI versus VOI contains additional information.
3. To determine your quantitative reasoning skills, it is important you analyze, synthesize, and report your findings in a 3-page paper (not counting the title page, reference page or appendices). You do not need to complete all categories of the tables, but complete as many as possible. The basic requirement is to compile and plug-in sufficient data within each table necessary to analyze and report your findings.
4. Feel free to use the same data for each table, but you should try to use examples of data that show significant differences when calculated.
5. Follow this link to three calculators at https://www.wellsteps.com/blog/2018/01/10/wellness-roi-employee-wellbeing-programs/.
Watch the videos and use the calculators provided to calculate the possible impact on health care costs, absenteeism, and presenteeism of wellness programs. (Adobe Flash is needed to view the videos.)
Prepare three tables in Word to show the data you choose.

Logistic Regression Analysis

Logistic Regression Analysis Lacourse, Claes, and Villeneuve (2001) carried out a study to see whether a love of heavy metal could predict suicide risk. Eric Lacourse and his colleagues used questionnaires to measure several variables: suicide risk (yes or no), marital status of parents (together or divorced/separated), the extent to which the person’s mother and father were neglectful, self-estrangement/powerlessness (adolescents who have negative self-perceptions, are bored with life, etc.), social isolation (feelings of a lack of support), normlessness (beliefs that socially disapproved behaviors can be used to achieve certain goals), meaninglessness (doubting that school is relevant to gain employment) and drug use. In addition, the authors measured liking of heavy metal; they included the sub-genres of classic (Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden), thrash metal (Slayer, Metallica), death/black metal (Obituary, Burzum) and gothic (Marilyn Manson). As well as liking, they measured behaviora...

Using Excel, find the mean, standard deviation, and 5-number summary of this sample

The most frequently used measures of central tendency for quantitative data are the mean and the median. The following table shows civil service examination scores from 24 applicants to law enforcement jobs: 83        74        85        79 82        67        78        70 18        93        64        27 93        98        82        78 68        82        83        99 96        62        93        58 Using Excel, find the mean, standard deviation, and 5-number summary of this sample. Construct and paste a box plot depicting the 5-number summary. Does the dataset have outliers? If so, which one(s)? Would you prefer to use the mean o...

Are there modifiable factors, such as health behaviors that lend themselves to better prevention efforts?

 Identify a current health issue of interest to you e.g diabetes, HIV/AIDS, heart disease etc. On the basis of current epidemiologic evidence, explain the factors that have contributed to the following: the observed trend in mortality rates for this disease, the changes in survival; the changes in incidence. A key concept in epidemiology is that of the levels of prevention.  As a community health nurse, describe primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention interventions related to this health issue.  Are there modifiable factors, such as health behaviors that lend themselves to better prevention efforts?  whatsapp +1(815) 406 9011
