In a 5–7 page written assessment, determine how health care technology, coordination of care,
and community resources can be applied to address the patient, family, or population problem
you've defined. In addition, plan to spend approximately 2 direct practicum hours exploring
these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group you've chosen to work with and, if
desired, consulting with subject matter and industry experts. Document the time spent (your
practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer
Experience Form. Report on your experiences during the second 2 hours of your practicum.
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you'll be positioned to maximize the use of technology to
achieve positive patient outcomes and improve organizational effectiveness. Providing holistic
coordination of patient care across the entire health care continuum and leveraging community
resource services can lead both to positive patient outcomes and to organizational improvements.
