NURS FPX 4900 Capella University Population Health Problem Solution Discussion
Assessment 4 Instructions: Patient, Family, or Population Health Problem SolutionPRINTDevelop an intervention (your capstone project), as a solution to the patient, family, or population problem you've defined. Submit the proposed intervention to the faculty for review and approval. This solution needs to be implemented (shared) with your patient, family, or group. You are not to share your intervention with your patient, family, or group or move on to Assessment 5 before your faculty reviews/approves the solution you submit in Assessment 4. In a separate written deliverable, write a 5– 7 page analysis of your intervention.Please submit both your solution/intervention and the 5–7 page analysis to complete Assessment 4.IntroductionIn your first three assessments, you applied new knowledge and insight gleaned from the literature, from organizational data, and from direct consultation with the patient, family, or group (and perhaps with subject matter and industry experts) to your assessment of the problem. You’ve examined the problem from the perspectives of leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, policy, quality of care, patient safety, costs to the system and individual, technology, care coordination, and community resources. Now it’s time to turn your attention to proposing an intervention (your capstone project), as a solution to the problem.PreparationIn this assessment, you’ll develop an intervention as a solution to the health problem you’ve defined. To prepare for the assessment, think about an appropriate intervention, based on your work in the preceding assessments, that will produce tangible, measurable results for the patient, family, or group. In addition, you might consider using a root cause analysis to explore the underlying reasons for a problem and as the basis for developing and implementing an action plan to address the problem. Some appropriate interventions include the following:Creating an educational brochure.Producing an educational voice-over PowerPoint presentation or video focusing on your topic.Creating a teaching plan for your patient, family, or group.Recommending work process or workflow changes addressing your topic.Plan to spend at least 3 direct practicum hours working with the same patient, family, or group.In addition, you may wish to complete the following:Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete and how it will be assessed.Conduct sufficient research of the scholarly and professional literature to inform your work and meet scholarly expectations for supporting evidence.Note: Remember that you can submit all, or a portion of, your draft assessment to Smarthinking for feedback, before you submit the final version. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback.InstructionsComplete this assessment in two parts: (a) develop an intervention as a solution to the problem and (b) submit your proposed intervention, with a written analysis, to your faculty for review and approval.Part 1Develop an intervention, as a solution to the problem, based on your assessment and supported by data and scholarly, evidence-based sources.Incorporate relevant aspects of the following considerations that shaped your understanding of the problem:Leadership.Collaboration.Communication.Change management.Policy.Quality of care.Patient safety.Costs to the system and individual.Technology.Care coordination.Community resources.Part 2Submit your proposed intervention to your faculty for review and approval.In a separate written deliverable, write a 5–7 page analysis of your intervention.Summarize the patient, family, or population problem.Explain why you selected this problem as the focus of your project.Explain why the problem is relevant to your professional practice and to the patient, family, or group.In addition, address the requirements outlined below.
