STRATEGIC PLANNING: BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS

For the SLP assignments, you will select a community of your choice and create a strategic plan to address a public health concern that impacts the community.

1. Identify your selected community and describe it. Include geographic location, demographics, and any other pertinent information that will be helpful in describing the health status of your community.
2. Do additional research and identify what health needs are being met, what needs are not being addressed, and what resources are available in the community.
3. Select a public health problem that is not being addressed in your community and a target population for which you will develop a program.
4. Identify key partners and stakeholders that you will collaborate with to address the concern. Explain why collaboration with these partners/stakeholders is important.

As our population continues to rise along with life expectancy, large cadres of nursing practice and research scholars are needed to address the pressing healthcare issues in our society.  Utilization of nursing inquiry and the ability to translate evidence into practice for the betterment of patient care and overall outcomes is key.  Additionally, they are well prepared to address system challenges and concerns and implement changes for improvement here as well. The work of the cadre will enhance the translation of evidence into practice, with the utilization of learned quality improvement methodologies aimed to both improve and transform the delivery of healthcare (Trautman et al., 2018).

In an effort to lead clinical innovation the cadre needs to become strong leaders and influencers.  They are positioned to negotiate and work highly groups to effect change with the implementation of any or all aspects of nursing inquiry (Fuller & Hansen, 2019).  Forming professional relationships through networking is also beneficial.  These relationships afford the person leading change a consortium of resources to support and assist with change.

Simply implementing a change in any type of environment is rarely successful and/or sustainable.  Providing the audience with the evidence and outcomes when implementing a desired change in practice is important.  We as healthcare workers should be providing care with a patient centered approach and possess a common desire to attain high quality and safety outcomes.  As leaders of change, we must possess strong self-awareness along with the characteristic of approachability and adaptability.  As we implement changes, we along with our teams, can identify limitations and make adjustments according for optimal results.

This is my discussion and assignment, please review well to understand its 2 different works that requires minimum of 3 references and 7th edition APA format 

Select a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and do research on it. Write a 4-5 page paper about the condition/issue. In the paper discuss the concepts below:

• What is the pathophysiology of one STI
• What is the etiology of the selected STI
• What are the clinical manifestations of the selected      STI
• What is the treatment for the selected STI

Use at least one scholarly source to support your findings. Examples of scholarly sources include academic journals, textbooks, reference texts, and CINAHL nursing guides. Be sure to cite your sources in-text and on a References page using APA format.

Students maintained and submitted weekly reflective narratives throughout the course to explore the personal knowledge and skills gained throughout this course. This assignment combines those entries into one course-long reflective journal that integrates leadership and inquiry into current practice as it applies to the Professional Capstone and Practicum course.

This final submission should also outline what students have discovered about their professional practice, personal strengths and weaknesses that surfaced during the process, additional resources and abilities that could be introduced to a given situation to influence optimal outcomes, and, finally, how the student met the competencies aligned to this course.

The final journal should address a variable combination of the following, while incorporating your specific clinical practice experiences:

1. New practice approaches
2. Interprofessional collaboration
3. Health care delivery and clinical systems
4. Ethical considerations in health care
5. Practices of culturally sensitive care
6. Ensuring the integrity of human dignity in the care of all patients
7. Population health concerns
8. The role of technology in improving health care outcomes
9. Health policy
