Write an 810 page paper that applies your leadership skills to plan a collaborative coalition to address a population-based health concern.
Resolving population health concerns requires the combined efforts of numerous agencies and individuals to address the Triple Aim of improving the patient experience, improving the health of populations, and reducing costs. This requires an interprofessional and collaborative effort to address the complex factors at the individual, organizational, community, and policy levels associated with the multiple factors affecting the health and well-being of our communities (Graffunder et al., 2016).
As a scholar-practitioner in the field, you may be expected to develop and lead a diverse team of healthcare professionals, civic leaders, community stakeholders, constituents, community members, and other interested parties, as well as city, state, and government agencies in addressing a wide range of issues affecting the health of diverse groups.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply your leadership skills to form a collaborative, interprofessional coalition to address a population-based health concern from a nursing, public health, or health administration perspective.
