Why they need to know
The newly hired employees need to know about managerial epidemiology so that they can leverage epidemiological methods in solving problems they encounter
Measuring effectiveness of systems used
Assessing implications of reforms adopted (Matthews & Proctor, 2021)
For example, in selecting an intervention epidemiological methods can be used to assess evidence of effectiveness that intervention before being selected (adopting evidence-based interventions in clinical practice ) This is not a real life example
Managerial epidemiology assists readers in comprehending how epidemiologic data on incidence and prevalence, in conjunction with administrative statistics on cost and quality, are used to make decisions about their organizations.in order to improve access to and delivery of high-quality services services services that are both cost-effective and efficient. The ultimate purpose and significance of managerial epidemiology are to give health care leaders and practitioners with the information they need to make informed decisions. When there is a need, knowledge and data are available.to be change agents who are aligned with social and environmental issues monetary and financial aims It is possible to improve Population health is the most important metric in public health. Success. Managerial epidemiology has the potential to evaluate the efficiency of a newly introduced system that has been revised It has the ability to provide healthcare recommendations. Whether or if their health has been reformed system is any more effective in terms of performance improvement the state of the human condition It is the yardstick by which everything is measured. Examine the ramifications of medical treatment reform

What they need to know: purpose of Managerial Epidemiology
The goal and importance of managerial epidemiology are to provide healthcare leaders and providers with information and data if there is a need to change agents that align with social and economic purposes. Managerial epidemiology can estimate the effectiveness of a newly updated system. It informs healthcare leaders whether their reformed healthcare system effectively enhances human health. It is the metric to evaluate the implications of healthcare reform (Caron, 2010).
Type of data and studies
Examples of data include;
Patient data
Mortality rate
Organizational data
Clinical data
Studies may include; Cohorts, Case control and Cross-sectional studies
An example may involve case study on cancer patients where epidemiological methods can be leveraged to understand the findings and strategies from the case adopted to be used in the organization for patients with similar cases
This position requires an understanding of health-related states and events, rather than only diseases, in specific populations such as a specific neighborhood, a specific school, a specific city, a specific state, a specific country, or a specific worldwide population. You must also comprehend the frequency, trends, determinants, causes, and risk factors associated with a certain situation. In the case of analysis, there are key variables and definitions that must be used. The information for the main factors is gathered through questionnaires that are completed by the women who have their mammograms as well as by the radiologist or technician who assesses the mammography. Pathology reports and vital status data from population-based cancer registries are used to correlate these data with breast disease outcomes from pathology reports. The effectiveness of the data acquired will be beneficial to use throughout the healthcare facility in the form of healthcare interventions to assist in improving patient health and well-being, and this will be beneficial to all patients. In this process, the managerial responsibility would be to implement rules and procedures, as well as to take the lead in planning. They would also stay abreast of pertinent health-care regulations, technology, and standards, all of which would be in line with the organization's vision and mission statement.

Managerial issue case
A managerial issue may involve cybersecurity threats and privacy concerns regarding data of patients. For example, a cybersecurity incident occurs where patient data is breached
Evidences that may need to be collected may include;
Incidence of data breaches- to identify types of breaches
Vulnerabilities that are most exploited by attackers- to identify most common vulnerabilities
Security solutions that have proven to work- to identify security solution for securing patient data
It is possible that a management issue will include cybersecurity dangers and privacy concerns surrounding patient data. In the case of a cybersecurity issue, for example, patient data may be compromised.Evidences that may be required to be gathered include, but are not limited to:The frequency of data breaches is being tracked in order to determine the types of breaches.Identifying the most common vulnerabilities and the linearities that are most frequently exploited by attackersSecurity solutions that have been demonstrated to be effective- to discover a security solution for protecting patient information

Epidemiological data, studies, and metrics
For candidates to proficient in this profession, it is crucial to know health-related causes and not just the diseases in specified populations, neighborhoods, schools, cities, countries. In addition, it is essential to understand the frequency, patterns, determinants, causes, and risk factors involved.
Trainees will need to look at case studies involving data breaches in healthcare
Identifying case studies that are relatable may enable transfer of applicable solutions to the organization in soling current applicable security problems
Metrics may involve magnitude of attacks, administrative policies and procedures and security controls
Data breaches in the healthcare industry will be case studies that trainees will need to review.It is possible that identifying case studies that are related would allow for the transfer of applicable solutions to the company in order to resolve present applicable security concernsMetrics such as the magnitude of attacks, administrative rules and procedures, and security measures are all examples of metrics.

Decision making process
Collecting data
Identify alternatives
Weighing the evidence
Select alternative to pursue
Implement action plan (Mase, 2019)
Assess decision taken
Making judgments about a program, practice, or policy based on the best available research data and informed by experiential evidence from the field as well as relevant contextual evidence is referred to as Evidence-Based Decision-Making (EBM). Trainees can follow the following steps in reaching a decision;
Collecting data
Identify alternatives
Weighing the evidence
Select alternative to pursue
Implement action plan
Assess decision taken

My solution for the case
My decision and solution will depend on the recommended evidence-based solutions from similar case studies
According to Angst et al., (2016) recommended solutions preventing breaches in healthcare organizations include;
Strengthening security controls
Training employees on IT security
Continuously updating organizational security policies and procedures
