Assessing the Problem: Leadership, Collaboration, Communication, Change Management, and Policy Considerations

    In a 5 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. Introduction: 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.
