Understanding
the role technology plays in advanced primary care to vulnerable populations is
vital to ensure proper and timely diagnosis and treatment to improve healthcare
outcomes for the patient. The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate one
global burden of disease OR risk factor in the family population (pediatric,
adult, or geriatric) and explore one current evidence-based technology use that
can offer improvement of outcomes and access to the population chosen.
This
assignment will focus on the following course student learning outcomes (CSLO):
1. Generate knowledge from clinical
practice to improve practice and patient outcomes (EOPSLO# 4, 9).
2. Leads practice inquiry, individually or
in partnership with others (EOPSLO# 2, 3, 4, 7).
3. Translates research and other forms of
knowledge to improve practice processes and outcomes (EOPSLO# 9).
4. Evaluate the relationships among
access, cost, quality, and safety and their influence on healthcare (EOPSLO# 3,
6, 9).
5. Collaborates in planning for
transitions across the continuum of care (EOPSLO# 2, 7).
6. Integrates ethical principles in
decision-making (EOPSLO# 6, 9).
7. Integrates appropriate technologies for
knowledge management to improve healthcare (EOPSLO# 5).
8. Evaluate the effectiveness of the plan
of care for the family, as well as the individual, and implement changes
(EOPSLO# 8).
Instructions: Please choose one global burden
of disease and one population (adult, pediatric, or geriatric). Once the
population is chosen, find one evidence-based technology to help support the
improvement of outcomes in the global burden of disease chosen.
