DNP 825 How could you better implement descriptive epidemiological methods in your current or future practice? 

It is true that broadly the field of epidemiology is considered to be the study of how disease spreads and the control.  Therefore, this field allows healthcare professionals to identify different diseases. The detailed information on the diseases, causes, symptoms, and the impact creates a suitable environment for control and preventive measures. Therefore, the field of epidemiology relies on science to understand the spread and control of different diseases (Skenard & Luwidzyi, 2021). Implementation science” is one of several terms that have been used to describe the science of putting knowledge. Scientific routines provide factual information that can be used to provide important information on the patterns and other behaviors of diseases. However, implementing science is a process that is classified into two components; dissemination research and implementation research (Ogbole et al., 2018). Every component of the scientific implementation is critical.  As a result, epidemiologists ensure that both components are successfully completed in their routine. Various emerging healthcare concerns have increased the value of implementing science in trying to understand new diseases and their transmission rate and mode.
