This is the link to the outbreak scenario simulation.

Instruction see below 

 

A.   Create a multimedia presentation (suggested length of 22 slides) on your investigation of the outbreak scenario. You may use the attached “Crab Apple Valley Communicable Outbreak Simulation Multimedia Presentation Template.”

Note: While you need to create a presentation, you do not need to present it. 

Note: The multimedia presentation for this performance assessment should be uploaded as a separate attachment and should not be included in the e-portfolio or submitted as a link. 

B.   In your presentation, provide your presenter notes for each slide in the presentation, including the appropriate level of explanation, analysis, and discussion of the outbreak scenario.

C.   In your presentation, provide a title slide that includes each of the following components:

•   your name

•   the title of the presentation

•   title of course

•   instructor Name

•   the date the presentation was submitted

D.   In your presentation, provide a slide that includes an outline of the main topics that will be included in your presentation in the order they will be presented.

E.   In your presentation, describe the background of the outbreak scenario from part A by doing each of the following:

1.   Describe the key components of the case definition for the outbreak scenario.

2.   Explain the 10 steps used in the outbreak investigation and include an example for each step.

F.   In your presentation, discuss methods used to determine the existence and scope of the outbreak scenario.

1.   Discuss the active and passive surveillance methods used to identify cases in the outbreak scenario.

2.   Provide the number of suspect cases in the entire outbreak scenario.

3.   Provide the number of probable cases in the entire outbreak scenario.

4.   Discuss the mode of transmission for the outbreak scenario for both locations, including specific examples from the scenario.

5.   Discuss how the cumulative incidence can be utilized with the outbreak scenario.

6.   Calculate the cumulative incidence for the entire outbreak scenario.

G.   In your presentation, justify your study design choice to guide your analysis of the outbreak scenario by doing the following:

1.   Construct a purpose statement for your outbreak scenario research project.

2.   Describe the data collected for the outbreak scenario research project from parts F1 and F2.

3.   Present a screen capture of the outbreak plot that is clear and provides correct information.

a.  Analyze the significance of the epi curve.

4.   Analyze the significance of the incubation period of the outbreak scenario.

5.   Describe the differences between an endemic, an epidemic, and a pandemic.

a.   Discuss whether this scenario outbreak is experiencing an endemic, epidemic, or pandemic.

6.   Calculate the case fatality rate.

a.   Describe the significance of the case fatality rate.

7.   Calculate the primary and secondary attack rates.

a.   Describe how the primary and secondary attacks occurred.

H.   In your presentation, discuss the three measures of outbreak management for the outbreak scenario.

1.   Provide a rationale for the control measures that should be implemented in the outbreak scenario.

2.   Formulate a plan to disseminate information on the outbreak to other agencies and the public.

I.   In your presentation, reflect on your learning experience by responding to each of the following questions:

•   What do you know now about investigating an outbreak that you did not know before?

•   Based on what you have learned, what might you do differently if given the opportunity to investigate an outbreak?

•   In what ways can you apply the concepts you have learned to your current clinical practice?

J.   Acknowledge sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.

(Important!)
You will have robust speaker notes for every slide except the References slide.
Presenter notes must be scholarly with full sentences and paragraphs. Do not use bullet points on your presenter notes.
Spelling, punctuation, and grammar must be accurate.
In-text citations must be included either on the slide or in the speaker notes.
Indent each new paragraph in the speaker notes.
Speaker notes should be in APA format. However, double spacing is not required.
When submitting the PowerPoint for evaluation, you must first save it to your desktop you must first save it to your desktop as a .ppt or .pptx document or as a file and then submit.  Do not submit a LINK to your PowerPoint as it will be returned for revisions. 
Use bullet points on the actual slides to highlight key information from speaker notes.
If pictures are used on the slides, and they are stock images from Word, they do not have to be referenced. Pictures that do NOT come from Word stock images will need in-text citations and a reference list entry.

TOPIC OUTLINE
Crab Apple Valley Communicable Outbreak.
Flu like symptoms.

KEY COMPONENTS OF A CASE DEFINITION OF AN OUTBREAK
Case Definition:
The case definition for this outbreak scenario is a 40 years old farmer who purchased a 100-acre apple orchard and farmhouse in the Rural section of town. The same day in the evening he noted tiny ,red, itch bites on his ankles.
Developed discomfort to his groin and lymph node tenderness and spreading rapidly toother lymph nodes with a few hours later he has Difficulty breathing developed productive cough.

STEPS OF THE OUTBREAK INVESTIGATION
Establishing a Team: A team of health professionals should be established to investigate the outbreak.
Collecting Data: Information should be collected on potential cases, including demographic information, symptoms and other relevant data.
Analysis: Data should be analyzed to identify patterns and possible sources of the outbreak.
Developing Hypotheses: Hypotheses should be developed about the source of the outbreak.
Evaluating Control Measures: Control measures should be evaluated to ensure they are effective.
Terminating the Outbreak: The outbreak should be declared terminated when the number of new cases has decreased to a certain level.
