Writing a Population Diagnosis
Population Health II: Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation
Writing a Population Diagnosis
Based upon the concepts learned during Week 1 and your work completed in NR 538, respond to the following:
Identify at least two population needs and two population problems based on your population or community assessment data and analysis completed in NR 538.
Your selection of a population or community diagnosis establishes the priority focus to move forward with the lessons in this course as well as for your Population Health Practicum (CGE- Concluding Graduate Experience) and Project. After analyzing and synthesizing your population or community assessment data from NR 538, formulate a population diagnosis. Use the Community-As-Partner format to write your diagnosis. (See Ervin & Kulbok (2018) – Chapter 8 or Anderson & McFarlane (2019) – Chapter 12 for the structure and formatting of diagnoses using the Community-As-Partner format.)
Why did you choose this as a priority health risk or disparity for your population?
Why is it important to develop a population or community diagnosis?

Week 2 Discussion
Collaboration Café: Population Health Program Planning

Discuss your chosen priority health risk or disparity and target population and provide your initial thoughts on creating a program/project to address this population issue with your Practicum and Project.
What population-focused health promotion and disease prevention activities or programs are already in place for your population or community related to your health risk or disparity focus area?
Identify and discuss a program planning framework or model from Ervin & Kulbok (2018) that will be useful to guide your program planning process.

Share your progress on the population- focused program planning and implementation stages.
Discuss a possible practicum agency for the population of focus.
What program implementation challenges might you encounter?
Who are the stakeholders to include and consider as you are developing the implementation strategies?

Week 5 Discussion
Program Evaluation for a Target Population
Now that you’ve created program implementation strategies for your target population, consider the appropriate evaluation strategies and respond to the following:
What are the purposes of conducting a program evaluation with your target population and program implementation plans?
What is the relationship of program evaluation to your population assessment, diagnosis, goals, objectives, program planning, and program implementation strategies?
Select and discuss an evaluation model or framework that may be helpful for guiding your evaluation planning process.
What roles do interprofessional team members and population members and/or stakeholders play in the program evaluation process?

Week 6 Discussion
Collaboration Cafe: Population Health Program Evaluation Methods
Identify a population-based program evaluation in place at a clinical site (could be a hospital setting, primary care clinic, community center clinic, local public health department clinic, etc.), This site could also be your current workplace. Select a different site than the one you plan on using for the Concluding Graduate Experience (CGE) or population-focused program development that you’ve been spending time on related to your target population. Select a program that has a different target population than the one you’ve been exploring. Conduct a brief interview of a key stakeholder for the program to assist with responding to the following:
What population are they addressing with the program?
What population health issue is the program addressing?
What methods are in place for their evaluation process of a program?
Are they effectively measuring their program outcomes with the evaluation process?

Week 7 Discussion
Sustainability of a Population-based Program
Reflect and analyze your work completed thus far with the population health program planning, developing implementation strategies, and an evaluation plan for your target population.
Respond to the following:
Brainstorm on ideas for how you could sustain your established program and share with the class.
Are there internal or external threats to the sustainability of the program?
Identify and discuss at least two evidence-based websites that support population- based nursing and that may be helpful for examining your evaluation data, exploring program sustainability, or strategizing on program revisions if needed.

Week 8 Discussion
Collaboration Café: Reflection and Application of Learning
Reflect upon your learning throughout the NR 539 course.
Based upon new insights gained, how has your understanding of population health program planning, implementation, and evaluation been impacted?
How might you apply population health planning and/or the analysis of assessment findings in your current practice?
In this class, you’ve determined preliminary population or community health problems, established a population diagnosis as well as program implementation and evaluation strategies. Identify any additional steps that will need to occur in your Population Health Practicum (CGE) such as:
Additional data collection and analysis
Gain additional community partners
Explore additional implementation strategies
Determine additional evaluation of outcomes strategies
How will your coursework from NR 539 influence your practicum experience?
Reflect on the Population Health Competencies for Health Professionals (2019) and discuss how this coursework has helped you achieve these competencies.

Week 2 Assignment
Program Planning Brochure
Purpose
The process of writing goals and objectives is an important task for a program planner. One of the first steps of population health program planning is developing strong program goals and objectives. These goals and objectives will lay the foundation for program implementation, evaluation, and outcome achievement.
The purpose of this assignment is to synthesize the selected population assessment data to guide the beginning steps of the population-focused health promotion and disease prevention program planning process. Once the assessment data is analyzed, health problems and needs, along with a population or community diagnosis will be established. Finally, program goals and objectives to begin the program planning process will be proposed.
