Looking at the 5-year trends for the population with health disparities being served by the identified program, are there any changes needed?

As a nurse-leader, how would you evaluate the chosen program?  What outcomes would you consider?  Project the sustainability of the program over the next 5 years.  Use population-based data such as health insurance records, Centers for Medicaid and Medicare, and CDC to analyze the prevalence of one health disparity targeted by the chosen program over a 5 year period using the latest data available.

In your initial discussion board posting for this week, please answer the following questions:

1. Describe the program and the community served in NYC and the health disparity that it addresses (usually better to stay with programs that have relatively narrow focus).

2. Looking at the 5-year trends for the population with health disparities being served by the identified program, are there any changes needed?

3. How accessible and complete was the data that you needed to evaluate the program?

4. How would you present feedback to the healthcare providers in the identified program about the incidence of the health disparity during the most recent reporting period?

5. How will you lead change as described in the the Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report to shape how you develop and sustain quality programs addressing health disparities?
