A key issue identified in interviews with patients managing multiple chronic diseases is often medication complexity, specifically the challenge of remembering to take multiple medications at different times, leading to potential missed doses and poor treatment adherence; to address this, a potential solution is to implement a patient-centered medication management system utilizing smart pill dispensers with automated reminders and personalized medication schedules that can be easily

synced with their mobile devices Use the context of the organization from your interview to develop a viable plan for an interdisciplinary team to address the issue you identified. Define a specific organizational or patient outcome based on the information gathered in your interview.

Using the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal Template [DOCX] will help you stay organized and concise. As you complete each section of the template, apply APA format to in-text citations for the evidence and best practices that inform your plan, as well as to the reference list at the end. (Because you’re using a template, a title page is optional.)

Be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the rubric carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

Describe an objective and predictions for an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to achieve a specific goal related to improving patient or organizational outcomes.

Single Case Design in education is about a child’s performance the intervention implemented, and the outcome of the intervention.
Riley-Tillman expresses ways of collecting this type of data table for making decisions about the resulting and analyzed data.

Briefly explain what types of decisions may be made by the team when a student is succeeding with the intervention, as well as when they are not succeeding using this data table.

Explain how RT’s beliefs in the text relating to data collection as a single

case design would impact the following scenarios
-child has met their goal more quickly than expected, and the behavior is observed across settings
-child’s current work is too difficult for them to be successful within an RTI framework

-child is not on track to reach their goal within the set time frame despite an appropriate intervention that shows positive effects in other areas within an RTI framework

-child is successful with certain aspects of a behavior skill but is not progressing within an RTI framework

Strategy Validation Tools

Imagine a friend or family member had an idea for a business and asked you for guidance based on the knowledge and skills you acquired through your MBA program. Perhaps they simply wanted to take you to lunch one day to inquire about your thoughts, or they might have wanted you to participate in the business in either an employer-to-employee or a partnership relationship.

In either scenario, how much more confidence would you have in their idea if they could easily answer questions about the industry, competition, target customers, and so on? If they did not know where to begin when answering these questions, you might point them toward the validation tools that are covered this week.

It is probably safe to say that you would not be as willing to get involved. This week, you will consider a scenario from your experience and explore how validation tools could have played a role in that scenario.

Part 2: second post (response to peer) is due on February 23rd
Respond to this post:

Mr. O is a 45-year-old male who presents with joint pain, lack of energy, and a weight of 284 pounds. His height is 5′11″, and his blood pressure is 184/92. His Body Mass Index (BMI) can be calculated using the formula BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2. Converting his weight to kilograms (284 ÷ 2.2046 = 128.29 kg) and height to meters (5′11″ = 1.8034 m), his BMI is 39.5, which falls into the “obese” category according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This classification indicates a high risk of developing obesity-related health complications such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension Strawbridge et al. (2020).

In addition to BMI, Mr. O’s Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) can be estimated using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation: BMR = 10 * weight (kg) + 6.25 * height (cm) – 5 * age (years) + 5. Using his details (weight = 128.29 kg, height = 180.34 cm, age = 45), his BMR is approximately 2189 kcal/day, which represents the calories his body burns at rest to maintain essential functions. Since he reports low energy and physical inactivity, his actual caloric expenditure is likely lower than what is necessary to maintain a healthy weight.

Intermittent fasting, a dietary approach involving alternating periods of eating and fasting, has been suggested as a potential method for weight loss. Some studies indicate that intermittent fasting can improve metabolic health and support weight loss, but its effectiveness varies by individual. For Mr. O, intermittent fasting could be beneficial if combined with a well-balanced diet and lifestyle changes. However, given his high BMI and health risks, a structured nutritional plan under medical supervision may be more appropriate (Yao et al., 2024).

Obesity is associated with numerous health problems, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and an increased risk of certain cancers. His elevated blood pressure (184/92) suggests he may already be experiencing obesity-related cardiovascular strain. Multiple factors contribute to obesity, including genetic predisposition, poor dietary habits, sedentary lifestyle, socioeconomic factors, and psychological influences such as stress or depression (Emmerich et al., 2024). Additionally, obesity is classified into three types: android (upper body), gynoid (lower body), and visceral (fat accumulation around internal organs). Visceral obesity is particularly concerning as it significantly increases the risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases Strawbridge et al. (2020).

Treatment options for obesity include dietary and exercise modifications, behavioral therapy, pharmacological interventions, and surgical procedures. A calorie-restricted diet combined with regular physical activity remains the cornerstone of weight management. Behavioral therapy helps patients develop healthier eating habits and address psychological barriers to weight loss. Medications, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, can be prescribed to aid weight reduction, and for individuals with severe obesity, bariatric surgery is an option when other interventions fail (Emmerich et al., 2024).

Mr. O has expressed interest in a weekly weight loss injection. Based on FDA guidelines, he may qualify for medications such as semaglutide (Wegovy), which is approved for patients with a BMI of 30 or greater. These medications function by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates appetite and glucose metabolism, thereby reducing caloric intake and promoting weight loss. The recommended dosing for semaglutide starts at 0.25 mg once weekly, gradually increasing to a maintenance dose of 2.4 mg. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Patients must be educated on potential adverse effects, the importance of adherence, and the necessity of maintaining lifestyle changes to optimize results (Singh et al., 2021)

In conclusion, Mr. O’s obesity presents significant health risks that require immediate intervention. While intermittent fasting and dietary modifications may be helpful, a comprehensive approach incorporating behavioral changes, possible pharmacological treatment, and increased physical activity is essential. If he qualifies for a weight-loss injection such as semaglutide, it may assist in his weight reduction journey, but it should be paired with long-term lifestyle modifications for sustained health improvements.
