Preparation

The first step in any effective project or clinical patient encounter is planning. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to plan a clinical learning experience focused on health promotion associated with a specific community health concern. Such a plan defines the critical elements of who, what, when, where, and why that establish the foundation for an effective clinical learning experience for the participants. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of how to plan and negotiate individual or group participation. This assessment MUST be satisfactorily completed to complete Assessment 4 (live face-to-face presentation of the plan). These assessments (Assessment 1 and 4) meet the three-hour clinical learning experience required in this course.

To prepare for the assessment, consider various health concerns that you would like to be the focus of your plan, the populations potentially affected by that concern, and individuals or groups in your community who may be willing to take part in a presentation about that concern and suggested strategies for health improvement.

As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Effective Interpersonal Communications activity. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.

Consider inviting a community member or group to participate. Possible health concerns include, but are not limited to:

• Bullying.
• Medication reconciliation to prevent readmission.
• Individual or family disaster preparedness.
• Medication safety.
• Home safety.
• Depression management.
• Fall prevention.
• Pain management.
• Immunizations.
• Heart disease prevention (high blood pressure, stroke, heart failure).
• Tobacco use (vaping, e-cigarettes, hookah, chewing tobacco, or smoking) cessation.

In addition, you are encouraged to:

• Complete the Vila Health: Effective Interpersonal Communications simulation.
• Review the health promotion plan assessment and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete.
• Review the MacLeod article, “Making SMART Goals Smarter.”

Instructions

Complete this assessment in two parts.

Part 1: Health Promotion Plan

• Choose a specific health concern as the focus of your health promotion plan. Then, investigate your chosen concern and best practices for health improvement, based on supporting evidence.

Part 2: Individual or Group Activity Participant Recruitment

Then, research and document their potential learning needs and health promotion goals. Participants may include individuals, groups, or other community members.
• Contact the selected individual or group and secure their agreement to participate in the educational session. 
  • Meet with the individual or group to describe the session and collaborate in setting expectations for session outcomes, establishing agreed-upon goals, and suggesting possible revisions to the plan.
  • Confirm, with the individual or group, a date and time for the educational session and document the name and contact information (e-mail or phone) of the individual or group representative.

Document Format and Length

Your health promotion plan should be 2–3 pages in length. In a separate section of the plan, identify any participants and be sure to include their contact information.
