INTRODUCTION
As an advanced practice nurse, it is important to diagnose, treat, and evaluate patients who have chronic disease. A nurse must understand how pathology, treatment, regimens, and psycho-social issues affect patients and the care they receive. Disease management is more than just monitoring a medication or treatment; it is evaluating the disease process from the micro to macro level. As a nurse with an advanced degree, you will be expected to assess patients and individual and population responses to chronic illness.
For this assessment, you will investigate pathopharmacological issues related to a specific disease process. You may choose to investigate hypertension. As part of this assessment, you will analyze the various impacts the disease process has on the patients, their families, and populations at a local, national, and international level.
REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. An originality report is provided when you submit your task that can be used as a guide.
Professional Communications is a required aspect to pass this task. Completion of a spell check and grammar check prior to submitting your final work is strongly recommended. 

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.

  1.  Investigate the following disease processe: hypertension
  2.  Analyze the pathophysiology of the disease process you selected in part A.
  3.  Discuss the standard of practice for the selected disease process.
  4.  Discuss the evidence-based pharmacological treatments in your state and how they affect management of the selected disease in your community.
  5.  Discuss clinical guidelines for assessment, diagnosis, and patient education for the selected disease process.
  6.  Compare the standard practice for managing the disease within your community with state or national practices.
  7.  Discuss characteristics of and resources for a patient who manages the selected disease well, including access to care, treatment options, life expectancy, and outcomes.
  8.  Analyze disparities between management of the selected disease on a national and international level.
  9.  Discuss three or four factors (e.g., financial resources, access to care, insured/uninsured, Medicare/Medicaid) that contribute to a patient being able to manage the selected disease.
  10.  Explain how a lack of the factors discussed in part A4 leads to an unmanaged disease process.
  11.  Describe characteristics of a patient with the selected disease that is unmanaged.
  12.  Analyze how the selected disease process affects patients, families, and populations in your community.
  13.  Discuss the financial costs associated with the selected disease process for patients, families, and populations from diagnosis to treatment.
  14.  Discuss how you will promote best practices for managing the selected disease in your current healthcare organization.
  15.  Discussthree strategies you could use to implement best practices for managing the selected disease in your current healthcare organization.
  16.  Discuss an appropriate method to evaluate the implementation of each of the strategies from part C1.
  17.  When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in an assessment, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the assessment.

Quality and Patient Satisfaction in Healthcare
Module #7: Final Paper Assignment
 
INSTRUCTIONS
Write your paper in a Word document using APA style. Consult the exemplar papers included in the Module 7 readings and the examples at the end of each chapter of the textbook. It is highly recommended that you use the headings and subheadings suggested below. You may add additional headings or subheadings if needed. Refrain from the overuse of quoted material; instead paraphrase the content into your own words and properly cite. Save direct quotes for powerful passages. Consult the grading rubric to be sure you address the key topics. As always, include citations to support your work. It is expected that you will have at minimum of 10 citations – you may have many more. There is no absolute page requirement; your goal should be to write concisely and clearly.  All papers will be submitted via the Turnitin program. The final paper is worth 35% of your grade – your grade on this assignment may impact your final grade positively or negatively by a full letter grade.
 
FINAL PAPER OUTLINE
Title Page
ABSTRACT

  • Limit the abstract to 300 words. Include five keywords at the end of the abstract.
  • The abstract and keywords go on a single page.

STEP 0: THE SPIRIT OF INQUIRY IGNITED

  • Write the Introduction and Background to your clinical problem.

Ethical Considerations

  • Include a subheading in Section 0 to address the ethical considerations pertinent to the clinical problem.

STEP 1: THE PICOT QUESTION

  • Include your PICOT question from Module 1. Incorporate any feedback you received to strengthen your PICOT question. Include the background and foreground questions. Clearly identify each of the components of the PICOT.

  • The emphasis in this section is on synthesizing and summarizing the research evidence. It is not enough to simply include a table of the evidence; you must critically synthesize and summarize the research evidence (see the exemplars).

Step 4: Evidence Integrated with Patient Preferences and Clinical Expertise

  • Identify how you will incorporate patient preferences and clinical expertise into your project.
  • Address how this project addresses the triple aim of healthcare (improving the patient experience, improving the health of populations, and reducing the per capita cost of health care).

  • Describe the next steps in your project.
  • Identify the important stakeholders pertinent to your project. How will you include their input in the implementation stage of your project?
  • Identify any barriers (patient, clinician, healthcare system) to implementing your project and how you will address them.
  • Does your project require IRB approval? If so, which IRB? Describe any pre-implementation activities that you will need to complete to begin your project and your plan to do so.

Step 6: Potential Funding Mechanisms for your Project

  • Identify at least one source of funding which could support your project.

Step 7: Plan to Disseminate Your Project

  • Describe your plans to present your project. This may include poster or podium presentations, panel discussions, publications, etc. Note: the project does not have to be completed to present and discuss your plans with professional colleagues.

Quality and Patient Satisfaction in Healthcare
Module #7: Final Paper Assignment
 
INSTRUCTIONS
Write your paper in a Word document using APA style. Consult the exemplar papers included in the Module 7 readings and the examples at the end of each chapter of the textbook. It is highly recommended that you use the headings and subheadings suggested below. You may add additional headings or subheadings if needed. Refrain from the overuse of quoted material; instead paraphrase the content into your own words and properly cite. Save direct quotes for powerful passages. Consult the grading rubric to be sure you address the key topics. As always, include citations to support your work. It is expected that you will have at minimum of 10 citations – you may have many more. There is no absolute page requirement; your goal should be to write concisely and clearly.  All papers will be submitted via the Turnitin program. The final paper is worth 35% of your grade – your grade on this assignment may impact your final grade positively or negatively by a full letter grade.
