Family, or Population Health Problem SolutionDevelop an intervention (your capstone
project), as a solution to the patient, family, or population problem you’ve defined. Submit
the proposed intervention to the faculty for review and approval. In a separate written
deliverable, write a 5-7 page analysis of your intervention.In your first three assessments,
you applied new knowledge and insight gleaned from the literature, from organizational
data, and from direct consultation with the patient, family, or group (and perhaps with
subject matter and industry experts) to your assessment of the problem. You’ve examined
the problem from the perspectives of leadership, collaboration, communication, change
management, policy, quality of care, patient safety, costs to the system and individual,
technology, care coordination, and community resources. Now it’s time to turn your
attention to proposing an intervention (your capstone project), as a solution to the problem.

assessment, you’ll develop an intervention as a solution to the health problem you’ve
defined. To prepare for the assessment, think about an appropriate intervention, based on
your work in the preceding assessments, that will produce tangible, measurable results for
the patient, family, or group. In addition, you might consider using a root cause analysis to
explore the underlying reasons for a problem and as the basis for developing and
implementing an action plan to address the problem. Some appropriate interventions
include the following:Creating an educational brochure.Creating a teaching plan for your
patient, family, or group.Recommending work process or workflow changes addressing
your topic.Plan to spend at least 3 direct practicum hours working with the same patient,
family, or group.In addition, you may wish to complete the following:Review the assessment
instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to
complete and how it will be assessed.Conduct sufficient research of the scholarly and
professional literature to inform your work and meet scholarly expectations for ing
evidence.Note: Remember that you can submit all, or a portion of, your draft assessment
to Smarthinking for feedback, before you submit the final version. If you plan on using this
free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving
feedback.InstructionsComplete this assessment in two parts: (a) develop an intervention as
a solution to the problem and (b) submit your proposed intervention, with a written
analysis, to your faculty for review and approval.Part 1Develop an intervention, as a

PROBLEMClick the linked Solving a Patient, Family, or Population Health Problem title
above to complete a brief multimedia exercise that will help you in completing the fourth
assessment. In this exercise, you’ll consider possible solutions to a patient, family, or
population health problem, as well as potential interventions and measures of success.Now
that Simon has a better understanding of why several of his clients with comorbid
conditions of CHF and COPD have been visiting the ED more frequently and readmitted to
the hospital within 10 to 20 days of discharge, he wants to propose a number of solutions to
help reduce the ED visits and rehospitalizations. He realizes the impact of high readmission
rates on patient safety, quality of care, and organizational operations. These solutions are
designed to address medication management, symptom control, disease self-management,
community , lack of transportation, and access to care.Use your creativity and the
