Crab Apple Valley Communicable Outbreak Simulation

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.

Sample Solution

Active surveillance is the act of actively seeking out, reviewing, and collecting data on a particular aspect of public health. Active surveillance involves proactively searching for cases or outbreaks that may be associated with a specific disease or condition in order to identify and follow up on them. It is an effective way to rapidly detect new cases and can provide early warning signals when there are increasing numbers of cases.
