NUR 508 Grand Canyon Week 1 Assignment
Collaborative Learning Community: CLC Agreement
Resource 1: CLC Health Issue Analysis Overview
Details:
Group work has benefits and liabilities. EVERYONE assigned to a
CLC is expected to equally participate in the work in terms of time and quality
of effort. Each participant has strengths and it is reasonable to apportion the
work to make best use of this. Some are natural leaders. Our strengths can be
our greatest liabilities: No one wants to be bossed around no matter how
skilled the boss is. Honest communication is critical to effective group work.
The best way to avoid conflict is to set very clear expectations up front.
Then, if someone does not do what is expected him/her, he/she can be referred
to the original agreement rather than have the confrontation become personal.
Course instructors are able to observe the group process in the
CLC forum. If the work takes place outside the forum, this information will be
absent. Be certain (even if communicating via e-mail, phone, or face-to-face)
to record the communication in the CLC forum.
CLC Project Overview
The purpose of this assignment is to critically analyze a health
care issue through the focus of major concepts from each Topic. There are six
components to this assignment after the CLC agreement is signed and the topic
is identified. It is not expected that every member of the CLC group will
contribute to each assignment, but that assignments will be divided fairly and
equally among the group. Each of the written components of the CLC project will
be 500-1,000 words. These papers should be in APA format with a title and a
reference page. An abstract is not required. An introduction is required ONLY
for Part 1 and is not required in any parts thereafter. It is the intention
that if one were to take the six parts of this assignment and put them together,
a comprehensive and cohesive analysis would be produced. Part 1 is worth 3
points and each of the subsequent parts (2-6) are worth 4 points each.
Topic 1 (10 points)
Check into the CLC group and provide contact information and
describe prior experience, if any, with health policy. Locate and read the CLC
Agreement provided by the instructor, located within the Additional Resources
Folder in Canyon Connect. Choose one member to transfer the document to the CLC
forum. Decide upon the process needed to fill out the contract. Everyone should
participate. Before filling out the agreement, it may be helpful for each
student to describe the most difficult, frustrating, helpful, or beneficial
apects of working on a collaborative project. Getting this type of information
out in the open ahead of time may help to prevent conflict later on. Since no
one is angry yet, you can comfortably list what is likely to make you angry and
also what would make you satisfied.
Complete the CLC Agreement (except for the final block, which is
used at the end). Select someone to submit the CLC Agreement by the end of
Topic 1.
Topic 2 (10 points)
Initiate a conversation regarding potential topics of interest.
This should be a health issue with national and international relevance that
will be the basis for your final project. It may be helpful to identify a
number of topics of interest and have individual group members do a quick
survey of the literature to be sure that there is current information
available. Revise the CLC Agreement with the choice of the topic identified in
the title and re-submit the CLC Agreement. There is no formal writing
requirement for the topic selection. It is merely a brief paragraph declaring
your identified topic.
Topic 3 – Part 1 (50 points)
Research and outline the history of the health issue. Write a
formal paper in APA format (500-1,000 words in length), describing the history
of the issue. A title, introduction, and a reference page are required, but an
abstract and conclusion are not. Include the following:
1) Influences such as determinants of health and socioeconomic
status.
2) Past and present initiatives (private and public) to address
the issue.
3) Outcomes that have been developed and utilized to measure
progress on the issue.
4) The current status of the health issue based on measured
outcomes.
Topic 4 – Part 2 (60 points)
Describe the national and international implications of the health
issue. Write a formal paper (500-1,000 words in length), using APA format.
Include a title page and a reference page. An abstract, introduction, and
conclusion are not required. Include the following:
1) Scope and depth of the problem.
2) Countries that are faring better or worse than others.
3) How the U.S. ranks on this issue in relation to other
countries.
4) Efforts of the World Health Organization and other agencies on
this issue.
5) Existing disparities (include race, age, and gender, as
appropriate) in relation to the issue – describe the populations that have
emerged as being disadvantaged and why.
Topic 5 – Part 3 (60 points)
Write a formal paper (500-1,000 words in length), using APA
format. Include a title and a reference page. An abstract, introduction, and
conclusion are not required. Include a title page and a reference page, and the
following:
1) Discuss past and present funding for initiatives that address
the health issue. Include both public and private sources.
2) Analyze past and present quality initiatives that address the
health issue. Include both public and private sources.
3) Differentiate how being insured versus uninsured impacts health
outcomes relative to this issue;
4) Compare health outcomes for the issue between the U.S. and a
country with universal health coverage.
Topic 6 – Part 4 (60 points)
Write a formal paper (500-1,000 words in length), using APA
format. A title page and a reference page are required, but an abstract,
introduction, and conclusion are not. Include the following:
1) Examine the previously addressed aspects of health policies,
finance, global/national prevention, and/or treatment initiatives related to
the health issue by identifying applicable ethics principles.
2) Differentiate how application of the identified ethics
principles to the health issue has resulted in population disparities.
