CLINICAL PRACTICE PROJECT ACTION PLAN

Description

This module’s assignment is the second of five assignments to complete your Clinical Practice Project (CPP). Each weekly assignment will build upon the last one. It is very important that you follow the directions carefully and review your teachers document/grading rubric for comments so that you can improve each week. In addition to the new questions on the week 2 template, you are to make corrections based on the feedback received from the grading on the week one template, please change the color of the FONT to red on the revisions. This week you will develop your Plan of Action, including analysis of the problem, determining your stakeholders, steps to help you meet your objectives and proposed solutions. Objectives Build a foundation for understanding how the U.S. health care system functions. Extend academic experience into areas of nursing practice interest, working with new ideas, issues, organizations, and individuals. Demonstrate the ability to think and act critically and creatively about nursing practice issues. Develop analytical and ethical leadership skills necessary to address and help solve these issues. Utilize evidence based research and demonstrate proficiency in written and communication skills. Points: 30 Textbooks: Policy and Politics in Nursing and Health Care,Elsevier Saunders, 2015, 7th edition Read Chapters 18,17,34,54,72,73,74. Do not panic! There are several chapters to read; however, they are brief. Mason, Gardner, Hopkins Outlaw and O’Grady provide succinct explanations and specific examples of health care policy in action. The beginning chapters discuss the philosophy of politics, the readings then continue with media influences, disparities, the importance of EBP, and more. I think this week will be informative and thought-provoking. This week I do strongly suggest that you at least skim the supplemental readings
