**I CHOSE COPD AND THE COMMUNITY THAT I WORK IN IS NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA, PA
In this assessment, you will demonstrate competence as an advanced professional nurse leading an interprofessional advocacy action team (AAT) to advocate for population health policy change.
You will explore the role of the advanced professional nurse advocating for a policy proposal related to a current health issue(COPD) for an at-risk population in your community (NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA, PA).

You will also demonstrate the ability to identify and communicate effectively with essential policymakers to move the policy forward.
A. Discuss two differences in how an advanced professional nurse advocates for an at-risk population in the community versus how an advanced professional nurse advocates for an individual patient in the clinical practice setting. Include scholarly source(s) as part of your response.
B. Describe how the advanced professional nurse will apply two evidence-based strategies to promote interprofessional collaboration within an Advocacy Action Team (AAT). Include one scholarly source to support your descriiption.
C. Analyze data that validates a health issue affecting an at-risk population in the county or state where you live or work. Include relevant source(s) as part of your response.
D. Describe two characteristics of the at-risk population identified in part C.
E. Analyze how a specific social determinant of health (SDOH) in the county or state is predisposing the at-risk population from part C to the health issue identified in part C.
F. Analyze how current policy is insufficient to address the SDOH identified in part E.
G. Provide a policy proposal to address the SDOH identified in part E. Include scholarly source(s) to support your policy proposal as part of your response.
1. Describe how the policy proposal could impact the health issue from part C.
2. Discuss how the policy proposal will address diversity in the population to ensure equitable distribution of resources.
3. Describe how the policy proposal upholds two provisions from the ANA Code of Ethics. Include relevant source(s) as part of your response.
4. Describe two actual or potential barriers in your county or state that impede the implementation of the policy proposal.
H. Provide the name and title of one policymaker with authority to move the policy proposal forward.
1. Provide the rationale for choosing the policymaker identified in part H.
I. Create an (I)SBAR summary of the policy proposal using the attached “(I)SBAR Summary Template. Save and submit your (I)SBAR summary as a separate .pdf or .docx document. *ATTACHED**

from my professor: Thank you for your submission on an innovation of the EHR with thoughtful notes on its Essay
Nursing Assignment Help from my professor:
Thank you for your submission on an innovation of the EHR with thoughtful notes on its implications, etc.
Unfortunately, the direction you took for this assignment does not meet the overall competency and criteria. You presented the actual innovative idea – however, the focus is to identify internal and external sources for innovative ideas.
So think about these questions: what are good sources to locate or lead to these innovative ideas, both internal sources and external sources?
Who or what do you want to use as a source and why?
What is your purpose in utilizing this source?
Suggestion: Listen to the module recording that reviews sources of innovative ideas along with the deliverable. The module content also reviews internal and external sources.
Regarding the references: Missing first word of the title….Key benefits….
also suggest to locate more credible source in the library literature. Best practice is to use websites ending in .org, .edu, or .gov…..not .com
You have two attempts remaining.

Scenario
You recently obtained your BSN degree and began work in the cardiovascular progressive care unit at a 900 bed Magnet Hospital serving a densely populated urban center in the Northeastern United States. The hospital has received past awards for technological innovation in cardiac care with the use of virtual surgery consults, quality and safety with pharmacy robots, and client education with a digital repository of resources supplemented with videos, evidence-based recommendations, and links to social media health and wellness groups.
Recently the healthcare organization launched a “Renovate and Innovate” campaign, including a competition among all employees to identify the next technological innovation for purchase.
Rules of the campaign stated:
All employees from all departments are eligible to participate.
Groups can submit suggestions but must include names of all participating.
All suggestions must be submitted in an email titled “Renovate and Innovate” no later than Friday, October 31st at 7 pm.
Each employee may not submit more than one idea, so think carefully.
The idea must impact the facility in at least one of these key areas: financial savings, improved client outcomes, improved staff performance.
The idea can be a new idea not currently in use or an idea to renovate and improve an existing innovative practice.
The winning participant or team will receive a $5,000 cash bonus.
The idea of researching innovative ideas seems overwhelming, so you and a teammate decided to collaborate. Each of you will take a week and identify external and internal sources for innovative ideas which you will share via email.
Instructions
Compose an email to a teammate to brainstorm innovative ideas for the healthcare facility’s
“Renovate and Innovate” campaign including:
Two internal sources for innovative ideas related to financial savings, improved client outcomes or improved staff performance
Include a supporting rationale for each choice and a descriiption of at least one type of innovation for practice expected to find in this source with support from credible resources.
Two external sources for innovative ideas related to financial savings, improved client outcomes or improved staff performance
Include a supporting rationale for each choice and a descriiption of at least one type of innovation for practice expected to find in this source with support from credible resources.

Members of the Committee include CEO of the Hospital, CNO for the Hospital, Director of Medical Services, Director of Pharmacy Service, Custodial Staff Supervisor, and an at-large member of the public from the surrounding community. The purpose of the committee is to share innovative practice ideas to keep the facility on the cutting edge of advances within healthcare while increasing the number and quality of services provided to the surrounding community. Each member performs a quarterly needs assessment within their department and shares a poster presentation of a priority innovative practice proposal at the annual shareholder meeting.
