Assessment 4 Instructions: Patient, Family, or Population Health Problem Solution

Content
Develop 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.
Introduction
In 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.
Preparation
In 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.

After you complete your program, you may want to consider leveraging
your portfolio as part of a job search or other demonstration of your
academic and professional competencies.
