In a 5–7 page written assessment, define the patient, family, or population health problem that will be the focus of your project. Assess the problem from a leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy perspective. Make up meeting with a patient, family, or group of your choice to explore the problem and, if desired, consulting with subject matter and industry experts.
(Topic with the patient is
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): A condition where the force of the blood
against the artery walls is consistently too high. Hypertension is a major risk
factor for heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Management includes
lifestyle changes and medications )
Develop a problem statement for a patient, family, or population that’s relevant to your practice.
Begin building a body of evidence that will inform your approach to your practicum.
Focus on the influence of leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy on the problem.
During this time, you may also choose to consult with subject matter and industry experts about the problem (for example, directors of quality or patient safety, nurse managers/directors, physicians, and epidemiologists).
To prepare for the assessment, complete the following:
Identify the patient, family, or group you want to work with during your practicum. The patient you select can be a friend or a family member. You’ll work with this patient, family, or group throughout your capstone project, focusing on a specific health care problem.
Begin surveying the scholarly and professional literature to establish your evidence and research base, inform your assessment, and meet scholarly expectations for supporting evidence.
For this portion of your practicum, consider the following:
• Identify the patient, family, or group you intend to work with.
• Think about what you hope to learn.
o What’s your rationale for choosing this particular patient, family, or group?

need to apply in order to work successfully with your chosen patient, family, or group?
• Which potential barriers do you foresee in presenting the problem to this patient, family,
or group?
• Which change management strategies might you employ to overcome these barriers?
o For example, you might consider creating a sense of urgency supported by data or
policy requirements.
