Develop infographic of a preliminary care coordination plan for a selected 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.

Background/Context: 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. 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.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Choose a specific healthcare problem that aligns with your practicum site population and create an infographic that visually represents your care coordination plan.

1. Note the listed health concern and affected patient population below as the topic.
   • Cognitive impairment in home health of elderly patients.
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.
     • Physical considerations: Address physical aspects of care (for example, medications, treatments, or monitoring).
     • Psychosocial considerations: Consider mental health, emotional support, and patient coping strategies.
     • Cultural considerations: Recognize cultural diversity and tailor care accordingly.
   • Cite supporting evidence for best practices.
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.
   • For example: "Reduce A1C levels by 10% within 6 months through lifestyle modifications."
   • Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations of your specific patient population.
   • Discuss your SMART goals with your preceptor. Document discussion of SMART goals in Capella Academic Portal.
4. 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.
   • Include physical, psychosocial, and cultural considerations of your specific patient population.
5. Apply APA formatting to in-text citations and references, exhibiting nearly flawless adherence to APA format.
