Policy and Supply and Demand (110 Points)

Various programs to increase employment in the healthcare sector have recently been introduced in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As a result, an increasing number of foreigners have been provided with the opportunity work in the Kingdom. Studies show that 30% of the workforce in Saudi Arabia consists of expatriates (expats), or individuals from other countries who reside in the Kingdom.

Assuming the role of Director of Human Resources, you have been tasked with filling a number of open positions in your hospital. One strategy you are considering is to recruit expats. There are national policies and procedures that employers must follow before recruiting for and hiring expats. Create a PowerPoint presentation for your facility’s Board of Directors with the following heading items in your submission:

* Identify and describe an open position that needs to be filled.

* Rationalize the need for this position.

* Explain national policies that restrict expat employment in the Kingdom.

* Describe how to “sell” the strategy of recruiting and hiring expats to the Board of Directors.

* Conclusion.

Your presentation should meet the following structural requirements:

* Be 7-8 slides in length, not including the cover or reference slides.

* Be formatted according to APA and Saudi Electronic University writing guidelines.

* Provide support for your statements with citations from a minimum of four scholarly articles. These citations should be stated in the Notes section of the slide in which they appear. Two of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but four must be external.

* Presentation notes are required for each slide to support the slide content. These must be a part of the presentation, and so the presentation cannot be submitted in PDF format, which does not make notes visible to the instructor. About 150 words on each slide in the presentation notes area will suffice.

* Utilize headings to organize the content in your presentation.

Population Health in Saudi Arabia (110 points)one file

Leaders must stay abreast of healthcare trends in order to best serve the population they are supporting. In recent decades, disease threats in Saudi Arabia have shifted from communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases. The high prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles and cardiovascular disease risk factors in the adult Saudi population support the need for enhanced CQI programs in the population health arena. Saudi Vision 2030 has a major focus on healthcare such as primary disease prevention and improving lifestyles.

Using the Saudi Digital Library, locate and read three scholarly journal articles on the role of utilizing CQI initiatives to improve population health in Saudi Arabia.

Based on your readings, prepare a PowerPoint presentation describing your approach to implementing CQI for a specific population health need, such as hypertension, diabetes, preventative screenings, etc. Explain how as a leader you would engage key stakeholders. Analyze how the key objectives of the Health Sector Transformation Program within the Vision Realization Program of Saudi Vision 2030 supports population health.

Your PowerPoint should meet the following requirements:

Be 10-12 slides in length, not including the title or reference slides.

Be formatted according to Saudi Electronic University and APA writing guidelines.

Provide support for your statements with citations from a minimum of six scholarly articles. These citations should be listed in the Notes section of the slide in which they appear. Two of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but four must be external.

Each slide must provide detailed speaker’s notes to support the slide content. These should be a minimum of 100 words long (per slide) and must be a part of the presentation. The presentation cannot be submitted in PDF format, which does not make notes visible to the instructor. Notes must draw from and cite relevant reference materials.

Research Poster (110 points)

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) not only lead the way with respect to mortality rates at a global level but also account for the majority of deaths in high-income countries. According to Bashir (2021), the most common causes of death in Saudi Arabia are ischemic heart disease, road injuries, stroke, chronic kidney disease, lower respiratory tract infections, Alzheimer’s disease, conflict and terror, cirrhosis, neonatal disorders, and diabetes mellitus.

Select one of the causes of death listed above, then assemble a research poster specific to your selected topic and how it progressed to a goal in Saudi Vision 2030. Approach the topic as if you are gathering sources to present this research at a conference. Be sure your references address:

How is your selected cause of death addressed by Saudi Vision 2030?

What are some of the methods in obtaining research and data for shaping KSA policy regarding your selected cause of death?

Any challenges to collecting evidence-based information.

Health policy laws implementing positive social changes in this area of healthcare.

What is the importance of this information?

Why is your selected cause of death relevant to your audience or field of study?

How is it applicable beyond these contexts?
