OBJECTIVES The first step in developing an evidence-based, practice change proposal is to identify an issue or problem that is significant to nursing practice. In this topic, students will examine a health care clinical problem or an organizational issue and its implications to nursing practice. Objectives: 1. Create a plan for successful completion of the course. 2. Integrate reflective practice in the form of a reflective journal. 3. Demonstrate interprofessional collaboration during the creation of the capstone project change proposal.

The narratives help students integrate leadership and inquiry into current practice. This reflection journal also allows students to outline what they have discovered about their professional practice, personal strengths and weaknesses, and additional resources that could be introduced in a given situation to influence optimal outcomes. Each week students should also explain how they met a course competency or course objective(s). In each week's entry, students should reflect on the personal knowledge and skills gained throughout the course. Journal entries should address one or more of the areas stated below. In the Topic 10 graded submission, each of the areas below should be addressed as part of the summary submission. 1. New practice approaches 2. Interprofessional collaboration 3. Health care delivery and clinical systems 4. Ethical considerations in health care 5. Practices of culturally sensitive care 6. Ensuring the integrity of human dignity in the care of all patients 7. Population health concerns 8. The role of technology in improving health care outcomes 9. Health policy 10. Leadership and economic models 11.

Week 1 Reflective Journal
The main task I undertook this week was to assess the needs of my healthcare setting and
the community served. I completed the task collaboratively with my preceptor who offered
guidance on the current state of the healthcare organization and most urgent needs in the
community. One of the core competencies demonstrated during this week’s practice was
knowledge and skills in identifying and responding to health disparities. A health disparity may
be defined as the burden of illness, mortality, or injury that one group of people experiences
relative to others (Ubri & Artiga, 2016). My practice this week typically looked at existing health
disparities among community groups and people in the hospital to determine the current health
and health care gaps. For instance, I identified that the older patients were experiencing high
rates of falls compared to other patients. I identified some factors associated to the disparity
including frailty and comorbidity. Therefore, my practicum especially when identifying potential
topics, included knowledge and understanding of health disparities and how they affect health
outcomes. Additionally, I demonstrated inter-professional collaboration by working with my
preceptor in the needs assessment and topic choices. This week was productive and I achieved
the goals of needs assessment and listing the potential capstone practicum project topics.

Capstone Change Project Topics
The needs assessment conducted in the healthcare organization and community presented
several challenges the organization and community faces. The following discussion highlights
the key issues in each of the four topic choices.
1. Infection control
The current coronavirus has exposed the community’s vulnerability in infection control
due to its contagious nature. Infection control is now a priority of healthcare services and it will
remain a critical issue even after coronavirus has been defeated. The suggested topic choice
under this problem is the control of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (M...
