Scenario
You have already learned about evidence-based practice and quality improvement initiatives in previous courses. You will use this information to guide your assessments, while also implementing new concepts introduced in this course. For this assessment, you will engage in the Vila Health: Using Concept Maps for Diagnosis scenario, develop a concept map, and provide supporting evidence and explanations.
Instructions
For this assessment, you will develop a concept map and a short narrative that supports and further explains how the concept map is constructed. The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your evidence-based plan addresses all of the bullet points. You may also want to read the Concept Map scoring guide and Guiding Questions: Concept Map [DOCX] Download Guiding Questions: Concept Map [DOCX] to better understand how each grading criterion will be assessed.
Part 1: Concept Map
• Develop an evidence-based concept map that illustrates a plan for achieving high-quality outcomes for acute and chronic stages for a patient with renal failure related to diabetes in both an acute care facility and in the community.
• You can achieve this by following the Vila Health scenario.
• You will have a total of two concept maps. One will show the acute care facility with three diagnoses, and the other will show a home health community setting with three diagnoses.
Part 2: Additional Evidence (Narrative)
• Justify the value and relevance of the evidence you used as the basis for your concept maps.
• Analyze how interprofessional strategies applied to the concept map can lead to the achievement of desired outcomes.
• Construct the concept maps and linkage to additional evidence in a way that facilitates a reader’s understanding of key information and links. This will be done by adding links in each section of the concept map that will show your value, relevance, and evidence.
• Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style.
