NR530 Foundations of Population Health

Week 2 Assignment

 Population-focused Nursing Practice – Part 1 Concept Map

Purpose

Population health efforts focus on promoting health and preventing disease, and consider the many factors that shape health where people live, work and play.  Population-focused practice extends beyond the scope of the public health system to integrate efforts within the clinical healthcare system and public policy in order to advance the health of populations.

The purpose of this assignment is to consider the health risks and problems experienced by a selected population.  The Social Ecological Model will be applied to describe the influencing factors that shape the health of this population.  Finally, implications and recommendations for nursing practice within the clinical healthcare system, public health system, and public policy will be proposed to improve the health of the selected population.

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)

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 2 assignment will be different from the population you select for the week 6 assignment.

Identify one population served in your current nursing practice (or in a previous nursing role) as the subject for this assignment.  Explore current scholarly sources to better understand the health-related risks and problems facing this group of people.  Consider how the Social Ecological Model can be applied to understand factors influencing the health of this population, and implications for practice across the pillars of population health.

Week 4 Assignment

Epidemiological Applications

Purpose

In population-focused practice, epidemiological principles can be applied to draw inferences about patterns and frequency of diseases and health conditions that contribute to morbidity and mortality within a specified group. These trends in disease provide insight to the overall health and well-being of a population.

The purpose of this assignment is to identify and analyze epidemiological and population health data for a selected population to determine prevalent causes of infectious and chronic disease.  Population-focused strategies to address the identified issues will be examined at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of prevention.

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)

Assignment Overview

Investigate current population health and epidemiological data to learn about prevalent disease trends within your geographic region.  Compare and contrast your findings with disease rates and trends in a different geographic region of your choosing.

Statistics from valid, reliable sources such as professional population health-focused organizations, governmental agencies, local and state health departments, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are appropriate sources to validate assessment findings.

Do not include websites where the accuracy and reliability of data are questionable. For example, do not rely upon .com websites.

Develop a 10 to 14 slide narrated PowerPoint presentation 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:

Introduction

Prevalent Infectious and Chronic Diseases

Application of Epidemiological Model

Levels of Prevention

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:

Introduction

Factors Influencing Vulnerability

Proposed Intervention

Correlation with Population Health Initiatives
