Develop infographic of a preliminary care coordination plan for a selected healthcare problem identified from the Sentinel-U Family Assessment v5. You determine which healthcare problem you will use FROM the simulation. Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations for this healthcare problem. Listen to the patient simulation and select one of issues the simulated patient discusses. Identify and list available community resources for a safe and effective continuum of care.

The first step in any effective project is planning. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to strengthen your understanding of how to plan and negotiate the coordination of care for a particular healthcare problem. Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations for this healthcare problem. Identify and list available community resources for a safe and effective continuum of care.

Note: You are required to complete these assessments in order as each assessment builds on the previous one. You cannot submit all assessments at once. You must wait for permission from faculty to submit the next assessment. 

Imagine that you are a staff nurse in a community care center. Your facility has always had a dedicated case management staff that coordinated the patient plan of care, but recently, there were budget cuts and the case management staff has been relocated to the inpatient setting. Care coordination is essential to the success of effectively managing patients in the community setting, so you have been asked by your nurse manager to take on the role of care coordination. You are a bit unsure of the process, but you know you will do a good job because, as a nurse, you are familiar with difficult tasks. As you take on this expanded role, you will need to plan effectively in addressing the specific health concerns of community residents.

As you begin to prepare for this assessment, complete the virtual

Sentinel-U simulation titled Family Support and Home Assessments v5. 

You are also encouraged to complete the Care Coordination Planning activity found in this assessment. Completion of this will provide useful practice, particularly for those of you who do not have care coordination experience. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment. Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate engagement.

Note: You are required to complete this assessment before Assessments 3, 4 or 5. You must wait for permission from faculty before you can submit the next assessment. You cannot submit all assessments at once.

Choose a specific healthcare problem from the simulation and create an infographic that visually represents a care coordination plan.

1.       Select one health concern and a patient population from the Family Support and Home Assessments v5 SentinelU simulation. There are several potential issues mentioned in the interview. 

2.       Analyze your selected health concern and the associated best practices for health improvement.

•    Address the following content elements in your analysis:

◦ Best practices: Summarize evidence-based best practices related to the chosen healthcare problem from the simulation.

◦ Physical considerations: Address physical aspects of care (for example, medications, treatments, safety, food insecurity, childhood immunizations, etcetera).

◦ Psychosocial considerations: Consider mental health, emotional support, and patient coping strategies.

◦ Cultural considerations: Recognize cultural diversity and tailor care accordingly.

•    Cite supporting peer-reviewed, relevant, scholarly evidence for best practices-websites are not appropriate. Ensure the sources selected are relevant to the issue you’ve selected. Visit the Bachelor of Nursing (BSN) Program Library Guide for help finding articles in the Capella library.

3.       Describe two specific SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound) goals that should be established to address the healthcare problem and the evidence to support those goals.

•           Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations of your specific patient population.

•           Identify available community resources for a safe and effective continuum of care.

•           Compile a list of community resources relevant to the healthcare problem.

•           Include local clinics, support groups, educational programs, and social services if available.

•           Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations of your specific patient population.

4.       Apply APA formatting to in-text citations and references, exhibiting nearly flawless adherence to APA format. Use Academic Writer for guidance in citing sources in proper APA style. See the Writing Center for more APA resources specific to your degree level.

The requirements outlined above correspond to the grading criteria in the Preliminary Care Coordination Plan scoring guide, so be sure to address each point in your infographic. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
