Analysis Of Position Papers For Vulnerable Populations HW
Analysis Of Position Papers For Vulnerable Populations HWAnalysis Of Position Papers For
Vulnerable Populations HWDevelop a 4–6-page position about a specific health care issue as
it relates to a target vulnerable population. Include an analysis of existing evidence and
position papers to help your position. Your analysis should also present and respond to
one or more opposing viewpoints.Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work
you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments
in this course in the order in which they are presented.Position papers are a method to
evaluate the most current evidence and policies related to health care issues. They offer a
way for researchers to explore the views of any number of organizations around a topic.
This can help you to develop your own position and approach to care around a topic or
issue.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSThis assessment will
focus on analyzing position papers about an issue related to addiction, chronicity, emotional
and mental health, genetics and genomics, or immunity. Many of these topics are quickly
evolving as technology advances, or as we attempt to push past stigmas. For example,
technology advances and DNA sequencing provide comprehensive information to allow
treatment to become more targeted and effective for the individual. However as a result,
nurses must be able to understand and teach patients about the impact of this information.
With this great power comes concerns that patient conditions are protected in an ethical
and compassionate manner.By successfully completing this assessment, you will
demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment
criteria:Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-
quality population outcomes. Analysis Of Position Papers For Vulnerable Populations
HWEvaluate the evidence and positions of others that could a team’s approach to
improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target
population.Evaluate the evidence and positions of others that are contrary to a team’s
approach to improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target
population.Competency 2: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional
interventions in achieving desired population health outcomes.Explain the role of the
interprofessional team in facilitating improvements for a specific issue in a target
population.Competency 3: Analyze population health outcomes in terms of their
implications for health policy advocacy.Explain a position with regard to health outcomes
for a specific issue in a target population.Competency 4: Communicate effectively with
diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational,
professional, and scholarly standards.Communicate an initial viewpoint regarding a specific
issue in a target population and a synthesis of existing positions in a logically structured and
concise manner, writing content clearly with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and
spelling.Integrate relevant sources to assertions, correctly formatting citations and
references using APA style.Position papers are a way for individuals, groups, and
organizations to express their views and intentions toward a specific issue. In health care,
many position papers address specific policies, regulations, or other approaches to care. As
a master’s-prepared nurse, you should feel empowered to express and advocate for your
own views on policy and care matters. This is especially important when it comes to
populations you or your organization cares for that are not receiving the quality, type, or
amount of care that they require.An important skill in creating a position paper or policy
proposal is the ability to analyze and synthesize others’ views about the population or issue
of interest to you. By synthesizing the positive and negative views of an issue, you can
become better equipped to strengthen your own arguments and to respond to opposing
views in an informed and convincing way. QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER 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.SHOW LESSAssessment 1 will be based on an analysis of position papers that
are relevant to a health care issue related to a vulnerable population. Think about your
experience working with vulnerable populations, and the issues related to health care you
have observed for those populations, or reflect on the two Vila Health simulations in the
Resources.What is the vulnerable population that most interests you?What is the health
issue that is most prevalent or severe in the population?How does the health issue impact
the daily lives of members of the population?How does the care environment in your chosen
context impact both the population and the level of care related to the health issue?What
are the biggest challenges that you would need to overcome to improve the outcomes for
the population related to the health issue?What is your position on how to best work to
improve the care and outcomes that the population is receiving?What previously published
position papers your position, or the need to work to improve care and outcomes in
general for the population?How do these position papers your assertions?How could one
or more of the position papers help you to form a treatment plan?What previously
published position papers contradict your position? Analysis Of Position Papers For
Vulnerable Populations HWWhat, if any, of these differences would make your position
stronger if you incorporated them?How could you respond to any irreconcilable differences
in such a way as to encourage buy-in for your position from those opposed?
