Introduction

This homework provides an opportunity to research the literature and apply evidence to support what communication, teaching, and learning best practices are needed for a hypothetical patient with a selected health care problem.

NOTE: You are required to complete this homework after Homework 1 is successfully completed.

Preparation

You are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Cultural Competence activity prior to completing this homework. Completing course activities before submitting your first attempt has been shown to make the difference between basic and proficient homework.

In this homework, you will evaluate the preliminary care coordination plan you developed in Homework 1 using best practices found in the literature.

To prepare for your homework, you will research the literature on your selected health care problem. You will describe the priorities that a care coordinator would establish when discussing the plan with a patient and family members. You will identify changes to the plan based upon EBP and discuss how the plan includes elements of Healthy People 2030.

Supporting Evidence

Support your care coordination plan with peer-reviewed articles, course study resources, and Healthy People 2030 resources. Cite at least three credible sources.
