Capstone Project: Part 1 – Defining the Health Problem The state of health care in the United States is such that costs are sky-high; those who have health insurance get it through their employer, or it can be purchased at a premium that is somewhat commensurate with income. Solving problems is a big part of the administrative work in health care. For your Capstone Project at the center of this course, you are to develop a health care program that addresses an evident need in a community. The project will be completed in 5 parts. Part 1 is due at the end of Week 1. Review and use the Capstone Project document to develop and submit your Capstone Project, requirements, and deliverables. The Capstone Project document is in Word and includes the instructions and requirements for each part of your Capstone. The same Capstone Project document should be used to complete each weekly assignment and submitted with your prior week’s work included. Capstone Project Capstone Project Formulas and Examples Complete “Part 1: Defining the Health Problem” in the Capstone Project document. Scenario Assume you work in health administration in a hospital system in a metropolitan area in the United States(NEW YORK). The board of directors and CEO of the hospital system have established a goal for the year to better address the health care needs of the community. You have been tasked with establishing a physician outpatient clinic focused on treating an endemic health concern in your county. Objective You are to examine county health data to determine a health problem of prevalent need and to design a program that can help alleviate these concerns in the community. Integral to program design are factors and considerations such as cost, staffing, facility, policies, and its potential impact on vulnerable populations. The executives also want to ensure that the physicians, staff, and administrators are held to ethical and leadership standards that align with the practices to promote a supportive work environment governed by transformational leadership. You are to research, design, and propose for a program that meets the stated expectations of the board and CEO. Overview • Part 1: Defining the Health Problem and Identifying the Affected Population Part 2: Program Design Part 3: Program Finances Part 4: Organizational Structure Part 5: Program Proposal and Presentation Part 1: Defining the Health Problem Your task in this part of the project is to identify a public health issue in a locale of your choice based on an analysis of public health data for the demographic area. Based on your research, you will conceive of a program at the local hospital, health system, or clinic to improve health outcomes for the population. Instructions Use this project template to complete the requirements for Part 1 of your Capstone Project, detailed as follows: 1. Use the data to identify 2 endemic health issues among populations in the county. Your project will focus on only 1 of the issues, but you will need to identify a second issue if your first choice is determined to be unfeasible for this project. Your instructor will assist you in making that determination. Since county-level health data in most states is more detailed than city-level data, it is recommended that you choose a county, rather than a city. You can locate health data from the following sources: • County Health Rankings • National Center for Health Statistics • County Health Department websites • State health dept. Describe the conditions and the extent of these health problems and why you feel they warrant a program or service to address their impact on the population. Support the results of your analysis using charts or graphs that include demographic, morbidity, and mortality data. Provide and analyze demographic information on the county population including age, gender, income, employment and other relevant information for your program. Summarize the health issue you want to work on and explain your idea for a program to accomplish this objective. Sources of Data Cite using APA guidelines. Enter text below. County and Health Profile County and Hospital / Health System / Clinic Select a county for the location of your project. County level data is kept by most states and is usually more detailed than city-level data. Include a rationale of why you selected the city, including if you have any prior experience or knowledge about the existing health care system in that city. (175-250) Enter text below. Health Issue 1 Description and Analysis of Data Explain the source(s) of your data and the types of analyses you conducted to reach your findings. For example, how does this data compare with other counties, states, or at the national level? (250-350) Enter text below. Description of Condition(s) (primary interest) Describe the condition(s) you have identified in your data analysis. Describe the extent of these health problems and why you feel they warrant a program or service to address their impact on the population. Provide demographic information on the county population including age, gender, income, employment and other relevant information for your program. (250-350) Enter text below. Health Issue 2 Description and Analysis of Data Explain the source(s) of your data and the types of analyses you conducted to reach your findings. For example, how does this data compare with other counties, states, or at the national level? (250-350) Enter text below. Description of Condition(s) Describe the condition(s) you have identified in your data analysis. Describe the extent of these health problems and why you feel they warrant a program or service to address their impact on the population.
