Effectively Managing Behavioral health/Mental Health

Topic: Effectively Managing Behavioral health/Mental Health Illness on a medical/surgical unit

The strategy and methods assignment is an informal paper draft of the strategy or methods that will be used for the DNP project. The paper may be, but is not required to be, written in APA (7th ed.) format. The paper should include a reference list for citations contained in the draft. The strategy and methods for this draft should be described in broad strokes and considered the first step in establishing a set process to complete the final project. As the project is refined, the methodology for the project will also be refined. The draft may include, but is not required to include:

· A description of the general approach to the problem (e.g. educational, advocacy, policy, simulation-practice, an intervention, equipment, technology, etc.)

· A description of a more specific application of the approach for this practice, population, and issue (e.g. a reading, an interactive video-class, a new policy, weekly huddles, a kiosk, change in practice process format or timing, a new device, changes in the practice environment, etc.)

· A description of who would be involved in the operationalization of the project (e.g. patients, providers, support staff, IT, the management team, etc.)
