NR538 Population Health I Assessment and Analysis of Data

Week 6 Assignment

Analysis and Recommendations

Purpose

During the NR 538 course, assignments build upon one another as you conduct an assessment of population health within the context of the community.  The first and second assignments involved assessment of the core and community subsystems.  In the third assignment, analysis of data will be conducted to determine priority needs and propose recommendations to improve population health.

Analysis of data is a pivotal component of population health assessment that requires clinical judgment and a critical appraisal of quantitative and qualitative findings.  Analysis allows for the identification of strengths, risks, and disparity that are present within the population.  Determining community assets, gaps, supports and barriers to health can facilitate effective resource allocation and action plans to promote population outcomes.

The purpose of this assignment is to critically appraise population and community subsystem assessment findings in order to determine priority needs and propose recommendations to improve the health of the target population.
