Assessment as a Foundation for Community Health Improvement

To prepare for this week’s Collaboration Café, investigate a community health improvement initiative in a community of your choice.  You might consider community health assessment and improvement led by a non-profit healthcare system, or by a public health department.

Note – to investigate a particular initiative, consider contacting a local health department or healthcare system. Many health departments and healthcare systems publish community health assessment findings and plans for improvement online, making information readily available for you to review.

Select one initiative, review the information about the assessment, plans for improvement, and intended outcomes.  Respond to the following:

Describe the agency or organization that led the community health assessment and plans for improvement.

Explain the impetus for the initiative, such as public health accreditation, ACA community benefit requirement, or another rationale.

Provide a synopsis of the following:

Key assessment findings

Plans for community health improvement

Intended impact or outcomes of the initiative

How do you think the assessment findings shaped or directed the improvement plans that were established?

Week 7 Discussion

Collaboration Café

To prepare for this week’s Collaboration Café interview a colleague whose practice involves or is impacted by the management of population health.  The interviewee can be a nurse or an interprofessional colleague.

Ask your interviewee:

In your organization, how does population health management support health and organizational outcomes? Are there internal or external benchmarks to gauge success, and if so, what are those benchmarks?

How does population health assessment contribute to the management of population health in your practice?

What population health assessment measures are particularly useful in your organization?

Within your practice, what population health issues are of highest priority? What efforts are underway to address those issues?

In what ways do intersectoral and interprofessional collaboration contribute to population health management in your organization?

Following the interview, summarize your findings in the Collaboration Café.

Explain how insights from your interview align with current trends in the management of population health.

Compare/contrast the insights gained with information shared by your classmates.

How are the findings similar and different, and why?

Reflection and Application of Learning

In years past, population health assessment was associated with functions of the public health system. While it remains an essential component of public health practice, population health assessment shapes healthcare delivery across a variety of settings.  Whether through public health or clinical healthcare systems, assessment and analysis of population health is the first step in identifying needs and creating strategies to improve outcomes.

Reflect upon your learning throughout the NR 538 course. Based upon new insights gained, how has your understanding of population health assessment been impacted?  

How might you apply population health assessment and/or the analysis of findings in your current practice?

What preliminary population and community health problems, risks, and/or needs were identified through your assessment and analysis of data in NR 538?

How will your assessment and analysis from NR 538 influence your practicum experience?

Week 3 Assignment

Assessment of the Core Population

Purpose

During the NR 538 course, assignments build upon one another as you conduct an assessment of population health within the context of community.  The first assignment involves assessment of the core population while the second assignment will address assessment of the community subsystems.  In the third assignment, analysis of data will be conducted to determine priority needs and propose recommendations to improve population health.

Population health assessment involves a systematic, holistic appraisal of people and the community where they live, work, and play.  The process may vary depending upon the purpose and scope of the population assessment. However, a thorough assessment of the ‘core’, or people who comprise the defined population, is an essential first step.

The purpose of this assignment is to select and assess a population of interest using the Community as Partner Assessment Model as a framework for data collection.  Students will independently assess a target population, gathering qualitative and quantitative data in order to determine health-related risks or issues that may be experienced.

Week 5 Assignment

Assessment of Community Subsystems

Purpose

During the NR 538 course, assignments build upon one another as you conduct an assessment of population health within the context of community. While the first assignment involved assessment of the core population, the second assignment addresses assessment of the community subsystems.  In the third assignment, analysis of data will be conducted to determine priority needs and propose recommendations to improve population health.

Comprehensive assessment of community subsystems is essential for a holistic assessment of population health.  Appraisal of the community subsystems provides valuable insight regarding resources and assets available, as well as gaps in service that may be present.  Assessment of subsystems not only informs the appraisal of population health in the context of the community, but also is used to direct interventions to optimize resource utilization.

The purpose of this assignment is to assess community subsystems using the Community as Partner Model as a framework for data collection. Students will independently assess the community subsystems where the target population resides.  Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected to better understand the support and barriers to population health that are present within the community.

NR538 Population Health I Assessment and Analysis of Data

Week 6 Assignment

Analysis and Recommendations

Purpose

During the NR 538 course, assignments build upon one another as you conduct an assessment of population health within the context of the community.  The first and second assignments involved assessment of the core and community subsystems.  In the third assignment, analysis of data will be conducted to determine priority needs and propose recommendations to improve population health.

Analysis of data is a pivotal component of population health assessment that requires clinical judgment and a critical appraisal of quantitative and qualitative findings.  Analysis allows for the identification of strengths, risks, and disparity that are present within the population.  Determining community assets, gaps, supports and barriers to health can facilitate effective resource allocation and action plans to promote population outcomes.

The purpose of this assignment is to critically appraise population and community subsystem assessment findings in order to determine priority needs and propose recommendations to improve the health of the target population.
