Scenario
The first step in writing a research proposal is identifying a viable research question in order to fill a gap in literature and/or solve a problem. After considering what most interests you in your field of study (academic program) and conducting a preliminary examination of current research in library databases, you will develop a research question and provide a rationalization for its viability for this section of the research project. The research question will serve as the foundation of your research proposal project.
Instructions
Choose a topic on a newer or emerging topic in your field of study.
· Using this FINER protocol, create a research question. Be sure it encompasses each of the following elements:

The Role of public health technology in improving health care delivery
The primary goal of public health is to improve the health of communities, and
technology can help accomplish this. With the help of public health technology, health
professionals can now collect and analyze real-time population data to develop effective
strategies to address various health situations. The rapid emergence and evolution of new
technologies over the past two decades have greatly changed the way people communicate and
share information (Secinaro et al., 2021). This has created an information age where new tools
and methods are being used to disseminate knowledge in unprecedented ways. Social media has
also become an integral part of people's daily lives, allowing them to connect and share ideas.
The potential of new technologies to improve the quality of health care is immense. However, it
is still not clear how they can be used to effectively deliver this service at a lower cost.
The rise of mobile phones and internet connectivity has made the world a more global
village. With advancements in technology, such as the availability of communication devices and
information, there is a potential that healthcare delivery could be transformed in the 21st century.
Through the use of mobile phones, emergency services can be provided in real-time to help save
lives. For instance, a simple text message can be sent to help a woman in need of immediate
assistance during difficult labor. In other global tobacco surveys, healthcare workers can collect
data using handheld devices. They can then transfer the information to a central location in just a
couple of minutes (Matheny et al., 2019). This type of facility can be utilized in other similar
surveys without the need for printed forms. Through satellite connectivity, distance learning can
be improved, and data related to unusual health events can be sent out early.

How technology is used will determine its potential to improve the quality and efficiency
of health care. The potential of information and communication technology to enhance the safety
and efficiency of health care is immense. As the World Health Organization has acknowledged,
all countries should develop and implement effective electronic health systems (ehealth systems)
to improve the quality of their health services (Matheny et al., 2019). Although governments
have a major role in setting the agenda, it is also important that they work together with other
key stakeholder groups such as the private sector and international organizations to improve the
quality of health care. Member States can learn from their partners and other countries'
experiences when it comes to using modern technology.
The rapid emergence and evolution of new technology can be challenging, especially
when it comes to implementing resolutions and initiatives from the World Health Assembly. In
many countries, there are still gaps in the availability of connectivity and infrastructure.
Additionally, the initial cost of using modern technology is high compared to other priorities and
the basic health needs of the population. This is why the WHO and other organizations must
demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of this technology. The WHO and other organizations should
come up with creative ways of funding and sharing the cost of using technology so that it can
serve as a vital part of the information highway. Besides this, it is also important that the training
of healthcare workers is carried out properly (Secinaro et al., 2021). Various issues need to be
resolved to ensure that the safety and security of patient information is maintained. These include
the lack of consistency in legal standards and the increasing digital divide, which is affecting the
social gradient and society as a whole.

Hi M,
You certainly have a handle on the issues and complexities associated with your topic. I will ask that you go back into this assignment, however, and reconsider your approach. In your introduction, please present your research question in the form of a question and, in subsequent paragraphs, explain how your question is feasible, interesting, novel, ethical, and relevant. The purpose of this paper should be to prove the viability, strength, and need of your question by applying the FINER framework. See my comments on your paper and on the rubric for additional feedback.
Best,
