REVISED POPULATION HEALTH ASSIGNMENT (Final) 2

Assignment Outline

This assignment is a culmination of everything that you have been learning this semester. The assignment is divided into 4 parts, plus an introduction and conclusion section, The first part involves choosing a community/county randomly or where the student may work or live and either the county itself or specific zip codes than can be used to identify the population within this county/community. This will move from a general overview of the population within this community/count in Part I to a specific vulnerable population within this community for Part II. Please remember throughout the assignment that the population must be considered from within the context of the community at all times!!!!. THE COMMUNITY/COUNTY, POPULATION AND VULERABLE POPULATION MUST BE APPROVED BY THE INSTRUCTOR BEFORE BEGINNING TO WORK ON THE ASSIGNMENT. NO APPROVAL AND YOUR WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR THE FINAL SUBMISSION NO EXCEPTIONS!!! This will require the student to do some homework and be able to provide some detail to the professor that supports the choice of this population within this community.

Recognize that it will be necessary to compare both the county/community population and the specific vulnerable population to other county, state and national level data to demonstrate the scope of the health needs identifying the specific risk factors and social determinants of health (SDOH) of these populations. Without a good comparison there is no way to show that there is a ‘true’ problem or just how vulnerable a population can be. It should go without saying that the data that is used to inform the information below needs to be the most up to data information providing data from 10 years ago doesn’t provide a current picture of the health status within a community or the vulnerability of a population in 2023.

Resources to guide your search for local, state and national level data to inform the population information and county level data:

Introduction: (see the assignment outline and grading rubric below)

Part 1: Population/Community Snapshot : The first part of the assignment is to analyze empirical data and assessment findings to appraise population health within a selected geographic community. Students will synthesize insights garnered through population assessment findings, social determinants of health, and morbidity and mortality statistics for the selected population to identify health risks and problems that are present. Strategies to promote population health at the community and societal levels will be proposed.

a) Synthesize information gathered in order to summarize the findings of your population health assessment, including the following.

· Demographic “snapshot” of the population (distribution of age, sex, ethnicity, marital status, household type)

· Leading morbidity and mortality findings

· Concise findings regarding assessment of key social determinants impacting population health in the community (health and healthcare, social and community context, education, economic stability, neighborhood and built environment)

b) Provide an analysis of your assessment findings and describe key supports and barriers to health that were identified within the county.

c) Identify one priority population health risk or disparity that was identified through the assessment. Include evidence from the population assessment to validate the noted concern. Recommend one population-focused solution to address this concern.

Part 2: Vulnerable Population Assessment : This part of the assignment is to analyze a vulnerable population within a selected community to identify health risks and disparities. Variables influencing the risk and disparity experienced by members of the vulnerable group will be identified, and correlation with national directives to address population health issues will be determined. Implications for advanced nursing practice and opportunities to advocate for the health of the vulnerable population will be presented.

a) Include a succinct description of the vulnerable population identified, a minimum of three variables that place the population at risk, and the identified health risk(s) or disparity that the population is at risk of experiencing. Explain how relationships between each element:

· Vulnerable population

· Variables that place the vulnerable population at risk (minimum of three)

· Health risks and disparities for which the population is at risk (minimum of one)

b) Identify one national population health goal or objective that relates to the identified risk or disparity (such as Healthy People or another national initiative). Propose one strategy for advanced nursing practice to collaborate at the local, state, and national level to advocate for the health of the vulnerable population and advance the Healthy People goal or objective that is identified.

Part 3: Population-Level Health Intervention Analysis : The purpose of this section is to provide population-level interventions include strategies aimed at the promotion of health and prevention of disease that target the specific vulnerable population identified in Part 2. Population-focused interventions can be designed to reach at-risk populations, reducing health risks and disparities. However, population-focused interventions may also be effective in reaching geographic populations. The purpose of this section is to identify and critique an existing population health intervention within the selected community for the identified vulnerable population. The impact of the intervention will be discussed, and a recommendation for enhancement will be proposed.

a) Present a succinct synopsis of the population health intervention that was selected, and the specific population health risks and disparities that are addressed through that intervention that link to the vulnerable population identified in Part 2 and from within the context of the community.

b) Describe the accessibility, levels of prevention, and social determinants of health that are addressed through the identified strategy.

c) Consider one gap that is present and include one recommendation for change to enhance health outcomes.

Part 4: Health Policy Analysis . The purpose of this section is to assess one current health policy pertaining to the health risks or disparity identified in the previous sections. Alignment of the health policy with national population health initiatives will be appraised. Students will develop one recommendation to reduce health risk or disparity and to promote health outcomes. Finally, opportunities to enhance population health through interprofessional collaborative practice will be examined.

a) Describe one health policy that relates to an identified health risk or disparity described in the previous sections making sure that there is a clear link between the proposed policy and the vulnerable population risk factors/disparities. Summarize the intended impact of the policy on the risk or disparity and discuss ethical implications regarding the policy.

b) Examine the policy within the context of a national population health initiative and determine the degree to which the policy is congruent with that national population health goal and/or objective. Explain your findings.

c) Propose one strategy to further address the health risk or disparity and discuss opportunities for interprofessional collaborative practice related to your recommendation.
