Assessment 1: Assessing the Problem: Leadership, Collaboration, Communication, Change Management, and Policy Consideration

In a 5-7 page written assessment, define the patient, family, or
population health problem that will be the focus of your capstone
project. Assess the problem from a leadership, collaboration,
communication, change management, and policy perspective. Plan to spend
approximately 2 direct practicum hours meeting with a patient, family,
or group of your choice to explore the problem and, if desired,
consulting with subject matter and industry experts. Document the time
spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Core
Elms Volunteer Experience Form.

Introduction

Nurses in all professional roles work to effect positive patient
outcomes and improve organizational processes. Professional nurses are
leaders in problem identification, planning, and strategy
implementation—skills that directly affect patient care or
organizational effectiveness.

Too often, change agents jump to a conclusion that an intervention
will promote the envisioned improvement. Instead, the ideal approach is
to determine which interventions are appropriate, based on an assessment
and review of credible evidence. Interventions could be patient-facing
or involve a change in policy and process. In this assessment, you’ll
identify and make the case for your practicum focus area, then explore
it in depth from a leadership, collaboration, communication, change
management, and policy perspective.

This assessment lays the foundation for the work that will carry you
through your capstone experience and guide the practicum hours needed
to complete the work in this course. In addition, it will enable you to
do the following:

• Develop a problem statement for a patient, family, or population that’s relevant to your practice.
• Begin building a body of evidence that will inform your approach to your practicum.
• Focus on the influence of leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy on the problem.

Preparation

In this assessment, you’ll assess the patient, family, or population
health problem that will be the focus of your capstone project. Plan to
spend approximately 2 hours working with a patient, family, or group of
your choice to explore the problem from a leadership, collaboration,
communication, change management, and policy perspective. During this
time, you may also choose to consult with subject matter and industry
experts about the problem (for example, directors of quality or patient
safety, nurse managers/directors, physicians, and epidemiologists).

To prepare for the assessment, complete the following:

• Identify the patient, family, or group you want to work with
  during your practicum The patient you select can be a friend or a family
  member. You’ll work with this patient, family, or group throughout your
  capstone project, focusing on a specific health care problem.
• Begin surveying the scholarly and professional literature to
  establish your evidence and research base, inform your assessment, and
  meet scholarly expectations for supporting evidence.

In addition, you may wish to complete the following:

• Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure
  that you understand the work you’ll be asked to complete and how it will
  be assessed.
• Review the Practicum Focus Sheet: Assessment 1 [PDF], which provides guidance for conducting this portion of your practicum.

Note: Remember that you can submit all, or a portion of, your draft assessment to Smarthinking Tutoring
for feedback, before you submit the final version for this assessment.
If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround
time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback.

Instructions

Complete this assessment in two parts.

Part 1

Define the patient, family, or population health problem that will
be the focus of your capstone project. Assess the problem from a
leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy
perspective and establish your evidence and research base to plan,
implement, and share findings related to your project.

Part 2

Connect with the patient, family, or group you’ll work with during
your practicum. During this portion of your practicum, plan to spend at
least 2 hours meeting with the patient, family, or group and, if
desired, consulting with subject matter and industry experts of your
choice. The hours you spend meeting with them should take place outside
of regular work hours. Use the Practicum Focus Sheet [PDF]
provided for this assessment to guide your work and interpersonal
interactions. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with
these individuals or group in the Core Elms Volunteer Experience Form.
