For this assessment, you will simulate implementation of the preliminary care coordination plan you developed in Assessment 1. The presentation would be structured for the hypothetical patient.

NOTE: You are required to complete this assessment after Assessment 1 is successfully completed.

Care coordination is the process of providing a smooth and seamless transition of care as part of the health continuum. Nurses must be aware of community resources, ethical considerations, policy issues, cultural norms, safety, and the physiological needs of patients. Nurses play a key role in providing the necessary knowledge and communication to ensure seamless transitions of care. They draw upon evidence-based practices to promote health and disease prevention to create a safe environment conducive to improving and maintaining the health of individuals, families, or aggregates within a community. When provided with a plan and the resources to achieve and maintain optimal health, patients benefit from a safe environment conducive to healing and a better quality of life.

This assessment provides an opportunity to research the literature and apply evidence to support what communication, teaching, and learning best practices are needed for a hypothetical patient with a selected health care problem.

You are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Cultural Competence activity prior to completing this assessment. Completing course activities before submitting your first attempt has been shown to make the difference between basic and proficient assessment.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:

• Competency 1: Adapt care based on patient-centered and person-focused factors.
  • Design patient-centered health interventions and timelines for care delivered through direct clinical interaction that is logged in the CORE ELMS system.
• Competency 2: Collaborate with patients and family to achieve desired outcomes.
  • Use the literature on evaluation as a guide to compare learning session content with best practices.
• Competency 3: Create a satisfying patient experience.
  • Describe what the literature says about effective care coordination and patient satisfaction verses experience, including how to align teaching sessions to the Healthy people 2020 document..
• Competency 4: Defend decisions based on the code of ethics for nursing.
  • Make ethical decisions in designing patient-centered health interventions.
• Competency 5: Explain how health care policies affect patient-centered care.
  • Identify relevant health policy implications for the coordination and continuum of care.

Preparation

In this assessment, you will implement the preliminary care coordination plan you developed in Assessment 1 and communicate the plan to the hypothetical patient in a professional, culturally sensitive, and ethical manner.

For this assessment:

• Build on the preliminary plan, developed in Assessment 1, to complete a comprehensive care coordination plan.

Document Format and Length

Build on the preliminary plan document you created in Assessment 1. Your final plan should be 5–7 pages in length.

Supporting Evidence

Support your care coordination plan with peer-reviewed articles, course study resources, and Healthy People 2020 resources. Cite at least three credible sources.

Grading Requirements

The requirements, outlined below, correspond to the grading criteria in the Final Care Coordination Plan Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.

• Design patient-centered health interventions and timelines for care.
  • Address three patient health issues.
  • Design an intervention for each health issue.
  • Identify three community resources for each health intervention, so the patient may make an informed decision about what resources to use.
• Consider ethical decisions in designing patient-centered health interventions.
  • Consider the practical effects of specific decisions.
  • Include the ethical questions that generate uncertainty about the decisions you have made.
• Identify relevant health policy implications for the coordination and continuum of care.
  • Cite specific health policy provisions.
• What does the literature say about evaluation in care coordination?
  • How might revisions to the plan improve future outcomes?
• What does literature say about:
  • Effective care coordination and patient satisfaction verses experience?
  • How to align teaching sessions to the Healthy People 2020 document?

Additional Requirements

Before submitting your assessment, proofread your final care coordination plan to minimize errors that could distract readers and make it more difficult for them to focus on the substance of your plan.

What Are the Data Saying?

The DNP must have a basic understanding of statistical measurements and how they apply within the parameters of data management and analytics. This assignment will allow you to demonstrate your understanding of basic statistical tests and how to choose the appropriate test for the study or project being performed. You will also discuss the reliability and validity factors associated with the data sources used.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
• This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
• You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

Directions:

The purpose of this assignment is to write a paper including a comparison table. The table will be provided as an appendix to the final paper.

Using the GCU Library, locate a quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods article related to your DPI topic. You may reuse articles from Topic 1 assignment.

Using the \”Comparative Table Template,\” create a table that compares quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods articles. Provide the table as an appendix to the paper.

Organize the table according to the following.

1. Type of article.
2. Title of the article.
3. Type of analysis: Describe the process of analysis. There can be more than one.
4. Applicability of test: Describe other analyses that could be used and why?
5. Reliability and validity: Describe either the reliability and validity measures of tools used in the study or the techniques used to enhance reliability and validity in the study.

Write a 1,000-1,250-word paper discussing the application of data analysis, reliability and validity, and assorted statistical tests used in health related research. Include the following in your paper:

1. State the types of study used in each article.
2. Discuss the types of statistical tests used within each article and why they have been chosen.
3. Discuss the applicability of the chosen statistical test and why the statistical test was chosen.
4. Discuss the differences between parametric and nonparametric tests and how they were applied in the articles you chose.
5. Evaluate how the factors of reliability and validity are accounted for in the articles (of instruments and surveys or in the design and data collection conducted).
6. Summarize how the chosen studies could be applied within the context of your practice.
7. Please follow the attached rubric, and please reused the 3 articles from last week assignment t
