Write a report on the application of population health improvement initiative outcomes to patient-centered care, based on information presented in an interactive multimedia scenario. In this assessment, you have an opportunity to apply the tenets of evidence-based practice in both patient-centered care and population health improvement contexts. You will be challenged to think critically, evaluate what the evidence suggests is an appropriate approach to personalizing patient care, and determine what aspects of the approach could be applied to similar situations and patients. SHOW LESS By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 1: Apply evidence-based practice to plan patient-centered care.  Evaluate the outcomes of a population health improvement initiative. Develop an approach to personalizing patient care that incorporates lessons learned from a population health improvement initiative. Competency 2: Apply evidence-based practice to design interventions to improve population health.  Propose a strategy for improving the outcomes of a population health improvement initiative, or for ensuring that all outcomes are being addressed, based on the best available evidence. Competency 3: Evaluate outcomes of evidence-based interventions.  Propose a framework for evaluating the outcomes of an approach to personalizing patient care and determining what aspects of the approach could be applied to similar situations and patients. Competency 4: Evaluate the value and relative weight of available evidence upon which to make a clinical decision.  Justify the value and relevance of evidence used to support an approach to personalizing patient care. Competency 5: Synthesize evidence-based practice and academic research to communicate effective solutions.  Write clearly and logically, with correct grammar and mechanics. Integrate relevant and credible sources of evidence to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style. As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

1. Write a report on the application of population health
improvement initiative outcomes to patient-centered care, based
on information presented in an interactive multimedia scenario.
In this assessment, you have an opportunity to apply the tenets

population health improvement contexts. You will be challenged
to think critically, evaluate what the evidence suggests is an
appropriate approach to personalizing patient care, and
determine what aspects of the approach could be applied to
similar situations and patients.

*********ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Preparation
In this assessment, you will base your Patient-Centered Care
Report on the scenario presented in the Evidence-Based Health

4. Evaluation and Application media piece. Some of the writing
you completed and exported from the media piece should serve
as pre-writing for this assessment and inform the final draft of
your report. Even though the media piece presented only one
type of care setting, you can extrapolate individualized care
decisions, based on population health improvement initiative
outcomes, to other settings.
Requirements
Note:
The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading
criteria in the scoring guide, so be sure to address each point. In
addition, you may want to review the performance level
descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be
assessed.
Writing, Supporting Evidence, and APA Style
Write clearly and logically, using correct grammar and
mechanics.
Integrate relevant evidence from 3–5 current scholarly or
professional sources to support your evaluation,
recommendations, and plans.
Apply correct APA formatting to all in-text citations and
references.
Attach a reference list to your report.

5. Report Content
Address the following points in a 4–6 page report:
Evaluate the expected outcomes of the population health
improvement initiative that were, and were not, achieved.
Describe the outcomes that were achieved, their positive effects
on the community's health, and any variance across
demographic groups.
Describe the outcomes that were not achieved, the extent to
which they fell short of expectations, and any variance across
demographic groups.
Identify the factors (for example: institutional, community,
environmental, resources, communication) that may have
contributed to any achievement shortfalls.
Propose a strategy for improving the outcomes of the population
health improvement initiative, or ensuring that all outcomes are
being addressed, based on the best available evidence.
Describe the corrective measures you would take to address the
factors that may have contributed to achievement shortfalls.
Cite the evidence (from similar projects, research, or
professional organization resources) that supports the corrective
measures you are proposing.
Explain how the evidence illustrates the likelihood of improved

6. outcomes if your proposed strategy is enacted
Develop an approach to personalizing patient care that
incorporates lessons learned from the population health
improvement initiative outcomes.
Explain how the outcomes and lessons learned informed the
decisions you made in your approach for personalizing care for
the patient with a health condition related to the population
health concern addressed in the improvement initiative.
Ensure that your approach to personalizing care for the
individual patient addresses the patient's:
Individual health needs.
Economic and environmental realities.
Culture and family.
Incorporate the best available evidence (from both the
population health improvement initiative and other relevant
sources) to inform your approach and actions you intend to take.
Justify the value and relevance of evidence you used to support
your approach to personalizing care for your patient.

7. Explain why your evidence is valuable and relevant to your
patient's case.
Explain why each piece of evidence is appropriate for both the
health issue you are trying to correct and for the unique
situation of your patient and their family.
Propose a framework for evaluating the outcomes of your
approach to personalizing patient care.
Ensure that your framework includes measurable criteria that
are relevant to your desired outcomes.
Explain why the criteria are appropriate and useful measures of
success.
Identify the specific aspects of your approach that are most
likely to be transferable to other individual cases.
