Clinical Application Project/Community Health Project Part I

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical application project is for students to assess the health care needs of a population within their community. This is an independent assignment.

Task: Working within the community, students will identify a community based coalition, school, civic organization, occupational health setting or other practice site for this clinical experience and work with this community to identify and prioritize a community diagnosis and develop a plan to address it. Students are encouraged to begin this process early and identify a mentor within the chosen clinical/practicum site. Students will complete the Organizational Mentor Form to course faculty for review and feedback before beginning this assignment. Students are expected to use adequate and appropriate resources to support your discussion.

Assessment is the first step in the nursing process. Assessment of the community will involve statistical analysis as well as observations. Local and State Health Departments and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) will offer statistical data to guide this project. Refer to Healthy People 2020 and include social determinants of health as you begin to assess your community and identify an population of the community that has a need and may benefit from intervention.

Once you identify the population, continue the nursing process with determining diagnoses, prioritizing diagnoses and developing interventions to address the identified need.

Refer to Chapter 9 in the course text for guidance with planning for change.
