Develop a 20-minute video presentation for nursing colleagues highlighting the fundamental principles of care coordination. Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation, approximately 4-5 pages in length. This is a video presentation.

Introduction

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to educate your peers on the care coordination process. The assessment also requires you to address change management issues.

Preparation

You are encouraged to complete the Managing Change activity. Completing course activities before submitting your first attempt has been shown to make the difference between basic and proficient assessment.

Scenario

Your nurse manager has been observing your effectiveness as a care coordinator and recognizes the importance of educating other staff nurses in care coordination. Consequently, she has asked you to develop a presentation for your colleagues on care coordination basics. By providing them with basic information about the care coordination process, you will assist them in taking on an expanded role in helping to manage the care coordination process and improve patient outcomes in your community care center.

To prepare for this assessment, identify key factors nurses must consider to effectively participate in the care coordination process.

You may also wish to:

· Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete.

· Allow plenty of time to rehearse your presentation.

Recording Equipment Setup and Testing

Check that your recording equipment and software are working properly and that you know how to record and upload your presentation. You may use Kaltura (recommended) or similar software for your audio recording. A reference page is required. However, no PowerPoint presentation is required for this assessment.

· If using Kaltura, refer to the  Using Kaltura  tutorial for directions on recording and uploading your video in the courseroom.

Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact  DisabilityServices@capella.edu  to request accommodations.

Instructions

Complete the following:

· Develop a video presentation for nursing colleagues highlighting the fundamental principles of care coordination. Include community resources, ethical issues, and policy issues that affect the coordination of care. To prepare, develop a detailed narrative script. The script will be submitted along with the video.

Note: You are  not required to deliver your presentation.

Presentation Format and Length

Create a detailed narrative script for your video presentation, approximately 4–5 pages in length. Include a reference list at the end of the script.

Supporting Evidence

Cite 3–5 credible sources from peer-reviewed journals or professional industry publications to support your video. Include your source citations on a references page appended to your narrative script. Explore the resources about effective presentations as you prepare your assessment.

Portfolio Prompt: Save your presentation to your  ePortfolio. Submissions to the ePortfolio will be part of your final Capstone course.

Context

Nurses have a powerful role in the coordination and continuum of care. All nurses must be cognizant of the care coordination process and how safety, ethics, policy, physiological, and cultural needs affect care and patient outcomes. As a nurse, care coordination is something that should always be considered. Nurses must be aware of factors that impact care coordination and of a continuum of care that utilizes community resources effectively and is part of an ethical framework that represents the professionalism of nurses. Understanding policy elements helps nurses coordinate care effectively.

Assessment 1

Analyzing a Research Paper

Assessment 1

Analyzing Research Paper

Identify and write a summary of the various factors that contribute to the credibility of a research article related to a diagnosis of interest that you identified from the Sentinel U simulation on Patient Management & Delegation, V2. In the acuity module, there are 10 patients listed with various diagnosis. Select one diagnosis of interest to you from the simulation.

Introduction

Evidence-based practice (EBP) integrates the best evidence available to guide optimal nursing care, with a goal to enhance safety and quality. EBP is crucial to nursing practice because it incorporates the best evidence from current literature, along with the expertise of the practicing nurse. The concern for quality care that flows from EBP generates a desired outcome. Without these factors, a nurse cannot be an effective leader. It is important to lead not only from this position but from knowledge and expertise. To gain the knowledge, you require a good understanding of how to search for scholarly resources, as well as make decisions regarding the content of the scholarly resources.

Professional Context

As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for providing patient-centered, competent care based on current evidence-based best practices. You will be required to do research, analysis, and dissemination of best evidence to stay abreast of these best practices. Understanding where to go to find credible evidence, determining the type of evidence and being able to make decisions based on the findings of credible evidence is the foundation of evidence-based care.

Preparation

Review the  What Is Scholarly?  Campus page. Specifically, look at the following two items on the page:

· What Are Peer-Reviewed Articles?

· Anatomy of a Scholarly Article.

These will give you the factors that contribute to credibility, which you will need to identify in the article you choose for this assessment.

Also, look at the “Find EPB Articles” section of the  Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing & Health Sciences  library guide (found in the guide’s left-hand menu). This may help you locate an article to use for this assessment.

Instructions

Write a 2-page analysis of a scholarly research article, demonstrating your ability to locate credible, useful evidence related to a diagnosis of interest selected from the Sentinel U simulation on Patient Management & Delegation, V2. There are 10 patients, each with a different medical diagnosis. Select Day 1 and pick a patient with a diagnosis of interest to you. You will use this same diagnosis to complete all the assessments in this course.

Once you have chosen your diagnosis of interest from the Sentinel U simulation, complete the following:

· Use a credible search engine to locate a research article on your topic.

· Review the article for the following criteria:

· Type of study (quantitative or qualitative, the level on the pyramid of evidence, methodology).

· Credibility factors.

· Importance of content to selected diagnosis.

· The ability to apply the content in your current workplace or patient population.

· Take a screenshot of the abstract and paste it into a Word document (see the  Example of Screenshot [PDF]  document). You can refer to the instructions in the  Taking Screenshots [PDF]  document.

· Create a table or series of text boxes next to or below the screenshot and use that to label each criterion.

· Also take a screenshot of the patient and the diagnosis from Sentinel U simulation you used.

· Write up a summary of your findings on the second page. Note what information is important to your specified diagnosis. How credible is the article you’ve found and how useful is it related to your specified diagnosis and your ability to apply it?

· Include a link to your article.

· Include a reference to your article in APA format.

Review the Analyzing a Research Paper scoring guide for specific details of grading prior to submission.
