Purpose
In today’s complex healthcare environment, system-wide processes are needed to assure person-centered care and to optimize the patient experience. The purpose of this assignment is to examine organizational practices that are congruent with these standards. Students will analyze one National Patient Safety Goal and determine how it supports patient-centered care and impacts the patient experience. One strategy to address the selected goal will be proposed, and the impact on workflow and outcomes will be forecasted.
Assignment Overview
Select one National Patient Safety Goal or another external benchmark to address within this assignment. Use a minimum of 4 current scholarly sources to support your work. Create a 3-5 page written paper to address the following elements:
Provide an introduction to the paper.
Identify and describe the selected National Patient Safety Goal or another external benchmark, and why the issue addressed in the benchmark is a concern for healthcare systems.
Discuss how the benchmark is supportive of patient-centered care, and explain the impact of the selected benchmark on patient experience outcomes.
Propose a strategy to support the achievement of the benchmark within the healthcare system. Explain the impact of the solution on workflow within and between systems in the organization. Discuss how the proposed strategy will enhance the patient experience.

A.  Describe a local town, city, or county and a subpopulation at risk within that area based on your review of data, and support your description with two credible sources. Your description should include the following information:
•  the size of the community and the specific subpopulation
•  gender
•  age
•  race
•  income
•  educational level
•  percentage living in poverty
•  crime rates
•  occupations
•  access to healthcare, transportation, and food sources
•  health and nutrition rates
1.  Describe environmental concerns (e.g., water quality, air quality, sanitation, superfund sites, hazardous waste, environmental toxins, natural disasters, vulnerability to heat/cold) relevant to the subpopulation.
2.  Discuss how the demographics (i.e., race, gender, ethnicity, age) of the identified subpopulation compare with the larger community population, and discuss how data supports the health concern for this subpopulation.
B.  Identify one social determinant of health (SDOH) affecting the subpopulation described in part A.
1.  Explain how this SDOH is affecting the subpopulation described in part A. Your explanation should address the following questions and be supported with local, state, or national data:
•  What is the biggest contributor to disease (morbidity) and premature death (mortality) in the community?
•  What are the controversial community health concerns discussed in a local newspaper or a local online resource (e.g., online newspaper or blog, hospital website, county health department site)?
•  What do you believe people in the community are most concerned about related to health?
•  What is generating the most visits to the emergency room or hospital admissions in the community?
•  Based on the collected data, what do you believe is reducing the quality of life in the community?
C.  Describe two resources currently available to the subpopulation that address the SDOH in part B.
D.  Describe two resources that are needed to address the SDOH for the subpopulation described in part A.
1.  Explain why each resource from part D is needed.
E.  Discuss an evidence-based intervention to address the gap between the available healthcare resources and the resources needed to address the SDOH. Include one scholarly, evidence-based source published within the last five years to support the discussion.
1.  Explain how this evidence-based intervention will decrease the resource gap, including one specific example.
Note: This intervention could include policy development, resource development, population education, etc.
F.  Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
G.  Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.

INTERPRETATION
Describe the role of the nurse practitioner in your chosen specialty and how it differs from other providers? Support this statement with the literature.  
INSPIRATION
Why have you chosen this specialty? Be specific. If you have chosen more than one specialty, you should speak to each. 
DEDICATION
Graduate school tends to create a demanding schedule that requires significant personal sacrifice. How have you prepared yourself to meet the demands of graduate school? What strategies will you implement to be successful while in the program?
The program I’m applying to is Adult gerontology acute care nurse practitioner 

Welcome to NUR 600!  The research sequence courses consist of NUR 600, NUR 601 and NUR 622.  The NUR 600 and NUR 601 courses will prepare you for the completion of your Graduate Project in NUR 622.
Begin to think about a topic for your project as you will be starting the work for your project topic in the NUR 600 and NUR 601 courses.  You may want to consider a policy or issue in the clinical setting that requires further research.  In NUR 622 you will work in a group and collaborate with group members in choosing a topic of interest for your project. This may include your specific topic in NUR 600 and NUR 601, or a similar topic.  Based on your topic in NUR 622, as a group you will choose a theoretical framework and complete a literature review.
For your Graduate Project you have the option to complete a QI Project where you conduct a literature review to support a practice change in the clinical setting or a mini systematic review which includes an extensive review of the literature on a topic that requires further research.
In NUR 600 we will learn about nursing theories and the application of theory to the practice setting.  Begin to think about the topic for your graduate project.  At the end of the semester you will be completing a Theoretical Framework Assignment which requires the selection of a nursing theory.  You will need to justify why you feel the nursing theory is a good fit for your project topic.
For your initial post, answer the following questions:
Identify your project topic (this can be preliminary) and the nursing theory you plan to utilize for your graduate project. 
Explain why you feel your selected nursing theory will be a good fit for your project.
You will need a primary theorist source (book or article that is authored by your nursing theorist) to complete the theoretical framework assignment. Please cite an example of a primary theorist source for your selected nursing theory.

Paragraph one: Reflect on your experience in icu conducting cardiovascular, respiratory, or peripheral vascular assessments. Discuss challenges and barriers when performing these assessments in a clinical setting and describe how you can address them effectively. Reflect upon a time you encountered an unexpected assessment finding and describe what you learned from that experience related to the assessment.  
Paragraph two: Answer the question. 
How would you approach a cardiovascular physical assessment differently if you were assessing an adolescent female experiencing anxiety in the clinic setting? Address inspection, palpation, and auscultation.
Paragraph three: How will you apply what you learned in assessment to your nursing practice? How will your new knowledge of health promotion help you advocate for early recognition and intervention in your nursing practice?

this is a group assignment, and I am responsible for question number 3 with 2 references. Please put it in question format. Thank you. 
Discuss the legislation that affects
advanced practice nursing at the state or federal and answer the prompts below
