Ashford University SCI 101 Nutritional Tracking Worksheet

Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

As the administrator for AKT hospital that has been placed in charge of the quality improvement initiative, describe how health care data is collected and used to run health care organizations as a business and improve the health of the community.
Provide examples of specific databases that can be used to ensure that the organization meets accreditation standards and are able to create intervention initiatives.
How can the information be used to assess population health needs, conduct a marketing assessment, evaluate health care outcomes, make predictions, and improve the overall quality of health care provided?

Step 1: You should have already downloaded the Nutritional Intake Worksheet and tracked your food/beverage intake for 24 hrs.
Step 2: Complete the rest of the worksheet and save it. You will attach this to your post.
- Tip – In the table where you recorded the foods/beverages you consumed, you will also fill in the nutritional content for each (see example below).

Step 3: Within the Discussion Board area, respond to the following questions. Be substantive and clear and use the information from your worksheet to support your answers to the questions.
- Which nutrient do you eat the most of? Note, calories are not considered a nutrient!
- How does your overall food intake match what is recommended for you?
- What changes do you think you could make in your intake to get closer to the recommended guidelines? Would this change be easy or hard for you to do? Why?
Step 4: Attach your completed Nutrition Intake worksheet to your post. Only copy and paste the information from the worksheet into your post if you are unable to attach it.
