NUR6400 Role Development in Family Practice: Clinical
Integration
Signature Assignment
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.
You are to write a three-to-five-page paper in APA format
7th edition with the following sections and level 2 headings:
Introduction:
Brief overview of the health of the population chosen
-Introduce the global burden of disease OR risk factor
chosen
-Importance of improving the condition and its impact on
quality of life
Body of the Paper
Global Burden of Disease Condition/Risk Factor
-Describe the disease OR risk factor chosen
-What signs/symptoms are identified in the patient that can
be found?
-How is it diagnosed and treated?
Technology and Healthcare
-Describe the paradigm shift in healthcare related to
technology
-Elaborate how technology can improve health outcomes in
your population
Chosen Evidence-Based Technology Use in Disease or Risk
Factor
-Describe and summarize the evidence-based technology
identified that has been shown to improve the condition or Risk Factor for your
patient population chosen.
-Compare and contrast the positives and negatives of using
this technology use chosen.
Conclusion
-Recap points discussed in the paper
-Importance of advancements in technology
