You are also encouraged to complete the Care Coordination Planning activity. Completion of this will provide useful practice, particularly for those of you who do not have care coordination experience in community settings. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment. Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate engagement.
Instructions
Note: You are required to complete this assessment before Assessment 5.
Choose a specific healthcare problem that aligns with your practicum site population and create an infographic that visually represents your care coordination plan.
Select one health concern and a patient population that aligns with your practicum setting. Examples include:
Type 2 diabetes in pediatric patients in a community healthcare setting.
Cognitive impairment in home health of elderly patients.
Mental health in adult patients in an acute health setting.
Pain management in adults in hospice care.
Falls in long-term care adults.
Analyze your selected health concern and the associated best practices for health improvement.
Address the following content elements in your analysis:
Best practices: Summarize evidence-based best practices related to the chosen healthcare problem.
Physical considerations: Address physical aspects of care (for example, medications, treatments, or monitoring).
Psychosocial considerations: Consider mental health, emotional support, and patient coping strategies.
Cultural considerations: Recognize cultural diversity and tailor care accordingly.
Cite supporting evidence for best practices.
Describe two specific SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) goals that should be established to address the healthcare problem and the evidence to support those goals.
For example: "Reduce A1C levels by 10% within 6 months through lifestyle modifications."
Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations of your specific patient population.
Discuss your SMART goals with your preceptor. Document discussion of SMART goals in Capella Academic Portal.
Identify available community resources for a safe and effective continuum of care.
Compile a list of community resources relevant to the healthcare problem.
Include local clinics, support groups, educational programs, and social services.
Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations of your specific patient population.
Apply APA formatting to in-text citations and references, exhibiting nearly flawless adherence to APA format.
The requirements outlined above correspond to the grading criteria in the Preliminary Care Coordination Plan scoring guide, so be sure to address each point in your infographic. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
