Assessment 3 Instructions: Assessing the Problem: Technology,

Care Coordination, and Community Resources Considerations

In a 5-7 page written assessment, determine how health care technology, coordination of care, and community

resources can be applied to address the patient, family, or population problem you've defined. In addition, plan

to spend approximately 2 direct practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient,

family, or group you've chosen to work with and, if desired, consulting with subject matter and industry experts.

Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal

Volunteer Experience Form. Report on your experiences during the second 2 hours of your practicum.

As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you’ll be positioned to maximize the use of technology to achieve positive

patient outcomes and improve organizational effectiveness. Providing holistic coordination of patient care

across the entire health care continuum and leveraging community resource services can lead both to positive

patient outcomes and to organizational improvements.
