HSC 4010 HSC/4010 HSC4010 Week 1 Assignment 2 Discussion/dq Endemic, and Pandemic Occurrence of Disease(s) -South University

One aspect of epidemiology is the study of the epidemic, endemic, and pandemic occurrence of disease(s).

Some critics may argue diseases and conditions such as bird flu are endemic in many countries, and some may argue human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or AIDS is a series of epidemics.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about the various epidemic, endemic, and pandemic occurrence of disease(s).

Based on your research and understanding, answer the following questions:

• At what point does a disease become an epidemic, endemic, or pandemic? What are the parameters that define each of these states of a disease’s effect?
• Do you agree that bird flu, HIV, or AIDS could be described as a series of epidemics? Why or why not?
• Should we study epidemiology and disease control as a complement to the provision of healthcare services? Why or why not?
• Disease control has evolved since the discoveries and achievements of these epidemiological pioneers Hippocrates, John Snow, Pasteur, and Koch. Explain the impact of at least one major historical contribution on the current status of epidemiological practices. How can history potentially shape and impact our future work in public health and clinical medicine? Explain.

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) was legally enacted to prevent hospitals from refusing care for those that cannot pay. This law applies when an individual has an emergency, and requests treatment for the emergency.

How does EMTALA embrace the ethical principles of justice and autonomy, and how might it hinder quality care for a patient?
