Create a program
proposal that seeks to address a public health problem in a given community. By
conducting an assessment of a need in the community and a review of literature,
you will present a convincing argument relative to why the chosen health
problem must be addressed, followed by sound recommendations that illustrate
how your proposal will improve the health, safety, and quality of life for
people in their communities while also promoting social justice.
Specifically, the
following critical elements must be addressed:
I.       
Statement
of the Problem
A.       
Briefly discuss the
public health problem, including epidemiological patterns, trends, and
populations affected. Is this a population or individual health problem?
B.       
Analyze the social
determinants of health- and social justice-related disparities that impact the
distribution of this problem in a community or target population.
C.       
Briefly discuss your
program proposal’s objectives and its logic model for planning. Would your
program proposal focus on prevention or treatment?
D.       
Conduct an assessment
of a need in your community, ensuring the inclusion of a description of the
community and how this proposed program may improve the health, safety, and
quality of life for people in their communities. Be sure to specify the
ecological framework for health problems within the community. Note that you will
not conduct a full community needs assessment; rather, you will identify a need
through a preliminary review of local newspapers or other relevant sources.
Your instructor is available to review sources and identify ways to obtain
information and navigate the system. From there, you will research what is out
there, what is missing, what others have done to solve the problem, and so on.
This evaluation presents an opportunity for you to engage the community by
contacting appropriate individuals either directly or using the internet or
telephone to interview them about the problem selected.
E.       
Based on your program
proposal’s objectives and your assessment of the need in the community,
evaluate project methods such as study/intervention design and statistical issues
related to sampling, measurement, and analysis for their strengths and
weaknesses in addressing the public health problem you have identified.
II.       
Literature
Review
Using secondary
sources, analyze how the health problem is being addressed in other
communities. How prevalent is it? Through a review of the literature, evaluate
the social, political, and historical milestones and trends relative to the
identified problem. You should also review interventions that have been
attempted in other communities and their success, or lack thereof.
A.       
Provide evidence by
reviewing the scientific literature related to public health problem,
information on the needs of the community, potential interventions or programs,
and appropriate and relevant theoretical framework(s).
B.       
Analyze the human
subjects-related concerns and protections that will be established in the
proposal. In other words, what issues must be considered with regard to human
participation research, and how will those issues be not only addressed, but
protected (e.g., Institutional Review Board approval) throughout the proposal?
III.       
Recommendations
Based on the statement
of the problem, a thorough review of the literature, and the identification of
potential program/intervention model(s) and theoretical framework(s) related to
the health problem, provide recommendations for addressing the issue through
appropriate public health strategies (including public policy, community mobilization,
patient or provider education, and health communications).
A.       
Based on your research
and identified community need, concisely suggest (one paragraph at the most)
appropriate technical and professional communication strategies that will
promote your public health program.
B.       
Propose evaluation
methods for determining efficacy of the program. According to the CDC, program
evaluation questions generally fall into several groups. How will you evaluate
your program based on this framework? For example, would you use the
implementation, effectiveness, efficiency, or cost-effectiveness method of
evaluation?
C.       
How will you attend to
attribution (i.e., can progress on goals and objectives be shown to relate to
your program, as opposed to other things that are going on at the same time) in
your program?
IV.       
Conclusion
A.       
Articulate any
limitations of the proposal.
B.       
Summarize how the
rights, interests, and freedom of individuals and community interests may be
impacted by the program proposal.
C.       
Discuss implications
for future research or related projects or programs.

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, SEE ATTACHMENTS, AND FOLLOW RUBRIC FOR DISTINGUISH SCORE
In a 5–7 page written assessment, determine how health care technology, coordination of care, and community resources can be applied to address the patient, family, or population problem you’ve defined. In addition, plan to spend approximately 2 direct practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group you’ve chosen to work with and, if desired, consulting with subject matter and industry experts. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer Experience Form. Report on your experiences during the second 2 hours of your practicum.

Introduction
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you’ll be positioned to maximize the use of technology to achieve positive patient outcomes and improve organizational effectiveness. Providing holistic coordination of patient care across the entire health care continuum and leveraging community resource services can lead both to positive patient outcomes and to organizational improvements.
Preparation
In this assessment, you’ll determine how health care technology, coordination of care, and community resources can be applied to address the health problem you’ve defined. Plan to spend at least 2 direct practicum hours working with the same patient, family, or group. During this time, you may also choose to consult with subject matter and industry experts.
To prepare for the assessment:
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 assessment and meet scholarly expectations for supporting evidence.
Review the Practicum Focus Sheet: Assessment 3 [PDF], Download Practicum Focus Sheet: Assessment 3 [PDF],which provides guidance for conducting this portion of your practicum.
Note: As you revise your writing, check out the resources listed on the Writing Center’s Writing Support page.
Instructions
Complete this assessment in two parts.
Part 1
Determine how health care technology, the coordination of care, and the use of community resources can be applied to address the patient, family, or population problem you’ve defined. Plan to spend at least 2 practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group. During this time, you may also consult with subject matter and industry experts of your choice. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer Experience Form. Use the Practicum Focus Sheet: Assessment 3 [PDF] (SEE ATTACHMENT) provided for this assessment to guide your work and interpersonal interactions.
Part 2
Report on your experiences during the second 2 hours of your practicum.
Whom did you meet with?
What did you learn from them?
Comment on the evidence-based practice (EBP) documents or websites you reviewed.
What did you learn from that review?
Share the process and experience of exploring the effect of the problem on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual.
Did your plan to address the problem change, based upon your experiences?
What surprised you, or was of particular interest to you, and why?
