Develop a data table that illustrates one or more underperforming clinical outcomes in a care environment of your choice. Write an assessment (5 pages) in which you set one or more quantitative goals for the outcomes and propose a change plan that is designed to help you achieve the goals.
Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, it is recommended that you complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Knowing what is the best practice for our patients is very important in providing safe and effective care. Understanding best practices can help nurses identify areas of care that need to be improved. To identify areas of need, nurses must use evidence from various sources, such as the literature, clinical practice guidelines (CPG), professional organization practice alerts or position papers, and protocols. These sources of evidence can also be used to set goals for improvement and best practices with an eye toward improving the care experience or outcomes for patients.
The challenge facing many care environments and health care practitioners is how to plan for change and implement changes. For, if we cannot effectively implement changes in practice or procedure, than our goals of improving care will likely amount to nothing. This assessment focuses on allowing you to practice locating, assessing, analyzing, and implementing change strategies in order to improve patient outcomes related to one or more clinical goals.
This assessment will take the form of a data table to identify areas for improvement and to set one or more outcome goals, as well as a narrative describing a change plan that would help you to achieve the goals you have set.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
• Competency 1: Design patient-centered, evidence-based, advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality patient outcomes.
o Develop a data table that accurately reflects the current and desired states of one or more clinical outcomes.
• Competency 2: Develop change strategies for improving the care environment.
o Propose change strategies that will help to achieve the desired state of one or more clinical outcomes.
o Justify the specific change strategies used to achieve desired outcomes.
• Competency 3: Apply quality improvement methods to practice that promote safe, equitable quality of care.
o Explain how change strategies will lead to quality improvement with regard to safety and equitable care.
• Competency 4: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional care systems in achieving desired health care improvement outcomes.
o Explain how change strategies will utilize interprofessional considerations to ensure successful implementation.
• Competency 5: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.
o Communicate change plan in a way that makes the data and rationale easily understood and compelling.
o Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style.

Create a concept map of a chosen condition, disease, or disorder with glucose regulation or metabolic balance considerations. Write a brief narrative (3 pages) that explains why the evidence cited in the concept map and narrative are valuable and relevant, as well as how specific interprofessional strategies will help to improve the outcomes presented in the concept map.
Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you should complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

The biopsychosocial (BPS) approach to care is a way to view all aspects of a patient’s life. It encourages medical practitioners to take into account not only the physical and biological health of a patient, but all considerations like mood, personality, and socioeconomic characteristics. This course will also explore aspects of pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment (the three Ps) as they relate to specific conditions, diseases, or disorders.
The first assessment is one in which you will create a concept map to analyze and organize the treatment of a specific patient with a specific condition, disease, or disorder.
Part 1: Concept Map
• (relevant case study) Develop an evidence-based concept map that illustrates a plan for achieving high-quality outcomes for a condition that has impaired glucose or metabolic imbalance as related aspects.

Part 2: Additional Evidence (Narrative)
• Justify the value and relevance of the evidence you used as the basis for your concept map.
• Analyze how interprofessional strategies applied to the concept map can lead to achievement of desired outcomes.
• Construct concept map and linkage to additional evidence in a way that facilitates understanding of key information and links.
• Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style.
