 Foundational Concepts, Models, and Frameworks for Practice

Practicum Planning Checkpoint – included in the Collaboration Café assignment:

As you consider possible practice opportunities for your population health practicum, remember the wide array of contexts within which population health may be a focus. While the traditional public health system may first come to mind, population health efforts are also taking place in clinical healthcare delivery settings, from in-patient acute care to out-patient clinics, long-term care, and community health centers, among many others. As you ponder the options, consider the following:

Have you submitted your practicum application? If not, what is your target date for submission of the practicum application?

Where will you pursue practicum placement, and what attracts you to that particular agency, organization, or practice setting?

Describe the population health focus within the selected practice setting.

How will the foundational concepts and frameworks for population health practice apply in this setting? Include at least one specific example in your posting.

NR530 Foundations of Population Health

Week 6 Assignment

Vulnerable Populations

Purpose

Population-level health risks and disparities are influenced by many complex variables, including physical, social, economic, educational, and environmental circumstances. In some situations, a group or sub-population may experience increased risk or vulnerability for poor health outcomes due to these variables. Recognizing the connection between the determinants and the health of the vulnerable group, efforts to intervene are focused on these variables and include coordinated efforts from clinical healthcare systems, public health systems, and public policy initiatives.

The purpose of this assignment is to investigate a vulnerable population in order to identify relevant health risks and disparities. Variables influencing the risks and disparities experienced by members of the vulnerable population will be determined, and an upstream strategy to improve the health of the at-risk group will be proposed. Correlation of the proposed strategy with national initiatives to address population health will be analyzed.

Course Learning Outcomes

Through this assignment, the student will address the following course learning outcomes:

CO #1 – Apply foundational concepts, models, and frameworks to promote health equity at the population level (PO #1, 2, 5)

CO #2 – Investigate the impact of social, economic, cultural, and environmental variables on population health risks and disparities (PO #1, 3)

CO #3 – Analyze population health-related competencies, interventions, and implications for advanced nursing practice (PO #1, 5)

Due Date: This assignment is due Sunday 11:59 pm MT at the end of week 6.

Total Points Possible: 200 Points

Assignment Overview

Please note: Both the week 2 and week 6 assignments require you to identify a population as the subject for the assignment. It is expected that the selected population for the week 6 assignment will be different from the population you addressed in the week 2 assignment.

Identify one vulnerable population to investigate for this assignment. Explore current scholarly sources and related population health data to better understand the social determinants and variables that place this population at risk for poor health and the disparities experienced by members of the vulnerable group. Analyze national health directives (such as the Healthy People initiative) to determine correlation with needs of the vulnerable population. Consider “upstream” collaborative strategies to reduce disparity and promote health outcomes among this at-risk population.

Develop a three- to five-page scholarly paper including a minimum of four scholarly sources, current within five years, to support your work. Follow the assignment criteria and rubric expectations noted below to construct a scholarly paper that includes:
