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.
