Students will also create a practicum project poster to document the evidence-based practice process of acquiring new knowledge to promote sustainable change. This course emphasizes: analyzing concepts of population health and care coordination; demonstrating competencies needed to coordinate care in healthcare settings effectively; evaluating patient-focused and organizational outcomes; and examining the impact of regulatory, ethical, and legal issues in the practice setting.
