Following these guidelines in module one, I developed an experimental randomized trial to study the effects of telehealth on 30 day readmission rates in cancer patients. Moreover, to assist in identifying the population of people that would benefit the most from the randomized trial, the project would benefit from a case finding survey to identify the cancer patients at greatest risk of readmission. The concept of error, the most relevant terms in module two to my study, as well as the design of a brief

Delta cells secrete somatostatin, after meals when blood glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids raise in the blood. Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant cancer. Tumors commonly originate from the epithelial cells of the pancreatic ductal system. This can happen in two ways, one that it has metastasized from a different part of the body, generally the lungs, breast, thyroid, kidneys, and skin. Second form is a primary tumor manly adenocarcinomas. Adenocarcinomas occur in secretory cells
Cancer Fewer than ten percent of most cancers are thought to be due to strong hereditary factors. Many physicians believe that prevention is the best way to effectively tackle cancer. One of those factors in prevention is the individual knowing their family history so that they can develop an awareness of their families' cancer lineage.
