Master's-level nurses need to be able to think critically about the evidence, outcomes data, and other

relevant information they encounter throughout their daily practice. Often the evidence or

information that a nurse encounters, researches, or studies is not presented in the exact context of

that nurse's practice. A key skill of the master's-level nurse is to transfer evidence from the context in

which it was presented and apply it to a different context in order to maximize the benefit to patients

in that new context.

Master's-level nurses need to be able to think beyond the bedside. It is important to be able to

research, synthesize, and apply evidence that will result in improved health outcomes for the

communities and populations that are part of your care setting. Improving outcomes at a community

or population level, even incrementally, can create noticeably significant, aggregate health

improvements for patients across all of a care setting.

Your organization has created an initiative to improve one of the pervasive and chronic health

concerns in the community. Some examples of possibilities for health improvement initiatives include

type 2 diabetes, HIV, obesity, and communicable diseases. You will need to do your own research to

gather and evaluate the relevant data for your chosen issue.

Once you have created a presentation for the initiative, you have been asked to present to a group of

community stakeholders. The purpose of your presentation is to inform and enlist support for the

initiative from your audience.

The optional Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan Presentation Template [PPTX] is

provided to help you prepare your slides. If you choose to work without the template, consider

referring to Creating a Presentation: A Guide to Writing and Speaking and Guidelines for Effective

PowerPoint Presentations.

The suggested headings for your presentation are:

Community Data Evaluation.

Meeting Community Needs.

Measuring Outcomes.

Communication Plan.

Evidence.

In your presentation, you will:

Evaluate the environmental and epidemiological data about your community to determine a

population-focused priority for care.

Identify the relevant data. This can be communicated in a table or chart.

Describe the major population health issue suggested by the data within your

community.

Explain how environmental factors affect the health of community residents.

Identify the level of evidence, validity, and reliability for each source.

Explain what evidence in the current literature (within the last 5 years) supports your

evaluation of the data and the population focused priority of care you have selected.

Develop an ethical health improvement plan with outcome criteria that addresses the

population health priority that you identified in your evaluation.

Consider the environmental realities and challenges existing in the community.

Include interventions that will meet community needs.

Address potential barriers or misunderstandings related to various cultures prevalent in

the community.

Propose criteria that can be used to evaluate the achievement of the plan's outcomes

for your population health improvement.

Explain why your proposed criteria are appropriate and useful measures of

success.

Explain a plan to collaborate with a specific community organization to support the

implementation of the population health improvement in an ethical, culturally sensitive, and

inclusive way.

Identify the community stakeholders that are relevant to your Population Health

Improvement Plan.

Develop a clear communication strategy that is mindful of the cultural and ethical

expectations of colleagues and community members regarding data privacy.

Ensure that your strategy enables you to make complex medical terms and concepts

understandable to members of the community regardless of disabilities, language, or

level of education.

Explain the value and relevance of the evidence and technology resources used as the basis of

a population health improvement plan.

Explain why the evidence is valuable and relevant to the community health concern you

are addressing.

Explain why each piece of evidence is appropriate and informs the goal of improving the

health of the community.

Communicate the Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan in a professional,

effective manner that engages the community organization stakeholders and the community-

at-large to implement and sustain change.

What specific actions can the community stakeholders take themselves to build a feeling

of community ownership in your plan?

Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references

using APA style.

Before starting to record your presentation make sure you have:

Set up and tested your microphone and headset using the installation instructions provided by

the manufacturer. You only need to use the headset if your audio is not clear or high quality

when captured by the microphone.

Practice using the equipment to ensure the audio quality is sufficient.

Consult Using Kaltura for guidance on how to record your presentation and upload it in

the courseroom.

Microsoft PowerPoint also allows you to record your narration with your slides. If you choose

this option, simply submit your presentation to the appropriate area of the courseroom. Your

narration will be included with your slides.

Remember to practice delivering and recording your presentation multiple times to ensure

effective delivery.

Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to

participate in this activity, please contact Disability Services at DisabilityServices@Capella.edu to

request accommodations.
