I have 3 different downloads for this paper. Do not worry about Section A. this is first one. 7019.1.1 : Epidemiology The graduate applies principles of epidemiology to the assessment of the healthcare needs of communities. 7019.1.5 : Environmental Health The graduate assesses the impact of the environment on the health of the community. 7019.1.8 : Cultural Competency The graduate analyzes social and cultural factors that affect the care of diverse populations. INTRODUCTION More emphasis is being placed on healthier communities as changes are occurring in the fields of healthcare financing, policy, and focus. One of the primary roles of a community health nurse is to assess the community or population in order to determine its health status in relation to its assets and needs. In this task, you will engage in a Community Health simulation for a total of 20 hours to gather information about a virtual community. Sentinel City⢠Community Health Simulation is a virtual city developed by Healthcare Learning Innovations to represent what you may find in any real United States city. You will be able to take a virtual bus trip and/or walk around the city while observing the environment and people of Sentinel Cityâ¢. Through your observations, you will gather information to assess potential health issues and risks within this online virtual learning environment. You will assess different factors that may contribute to or detract from the health and wellness of the community and its citizens. During your trips through the city, you may be asked to describe the people you see and any expected or unexpected findings related to the citizens of Sentinel Cityâ¢. Your keen observations will be the foundation to successfully completing assignments within your course. The simulation website will automatically log your hours and produce a special report at the end of each session. Be sure to have a notepad to record your observations of Sentinel City⢠in preparation for this task. The link to Sentinel City⢠is located in the Community Care and Collaboration section of the Course of Study. Please review the Sentinel City Quick Start Guide, Student Guide, and Troubleshooting and FAQs Guide prior to engaging in the Sentinel Cityâ¢. You may also want to download the Demographic Assessment, Neighborhood/Community Safety Inventory, Windshield Survey and Population Health Scavenger Hunt tools located in the attachment section to complete section B of this task.

WEB LINKS Healthy People SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS Demograhics Neighborhood Safety Scavenger Primary Prevention Topic Windshield This is 2nd paper. Its an email from teacher to help w/ writing paper. A. Sentinel City Action Report PDF. This section called the âaction reportâ is the Photo Journal PDF, a collection of the 12 photos assigned in the task directions. The simulation collects the pictures in a Photo Journal. You will visit each of the required 12 places that are required — see task 1 directions for list. Use the camera icon in SC on the right side of the simulation screen. The initial directions screen provides a look at the camera icon If there is signage make sure to get that in the picture In the text box type in the name of the location if there is no signage in the photo. Once you take the photo it will be saved in a Photo Journal You will download the Photo Journal to your desktop as a PDF and will submit this journal when submitting the task. B. Needs-Assessment Summary. In this section you will be summarizing the information identified on each of the four tools. The tool names need to be identified in the task per the directions so using the task template mentioned above, summarize related tool information under the listed tool heading. You will be providing summarization of the data collected from the simulation tools to complete this area. Provide an in-text citation at the paragraph end when summarizing data or statistics from the simulation. The tools are not submitted with Task 1. B1. Data Analysis. You will be linking 4 health concerns/problems identified from the simulation to data you collected or identified. In other words, what are the determinants (factor(s)) or information from charts under the tools, spinning âIâsâ and/or your observations identifying that the health concern is a problem. Determinants are causes, related risk factors of health-related conditions, elements, or situations that led you to identify the health problems/concerns. For example, maybe you will identify SC as having a possible health concerns with cardiovascular disease identified from community characteristics and data you identified along with the four assessments (. prevalence of smokers, poverty, low cigarette tax, cultural acceptance, hospital admits/discharges, pharmacy mediations dispensed). Another example maybe the health concern in SC related to pollution from the data indicated issues in the City Hall Water and Sanitation chart. Related issues to the health concern was observed with trash burning, rats and dogs in the streets, pollution floating, etc. Analyze the collected data and charts in SC, using concepts of epidemiology and health determinants, identifying 3-4 health concerns from the collected information. Section B1., is usually a couple paragraphs summary. Overall, Section C., consists of using 3 of the SC health concerns/problems you identified in B1. C1. Top Three Problems. In this section you identify your 3 top health problem you assessed for Sentinel City and state the Healthy People 2020 goal that addresses each of the 3 problems. Look on the HP 2020 Topics A-Z website to find the HP topics/goals. See the example below of what the HP 2020 Goal/objective will look like. You will find it under the tab âoverviewâ. This HP 2020 goal/objective is what supports each of the 3 problems you identified. Click HERE to access the HP2020 topics or find HP2020 access in the task directions under âWeb Linksâ Basically, you will state something like this (using the screenshot from above): The first problem identified is a high incidence of poor oral health in Sentinel City. The Healthy People 2020 Goal for addressing oral health is to prevent and control oral and craniofacial diseases, condition, and injuries, and improve access to preventative services and dental care (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2021). The second identified problem in Sentinel City is XXXX. The HP 2020 goal to address this issue isâ¦â¦ (in-text citation). The third identified problem in Sentinel City is XXXX. The HP 2020 goal to address this issue isâ¦â¦ (in-text citation). C2. Discussion of Community Resources. Choose one of your previously selected 3 problems in C1. Then in C2., after you have chosen one problem go back on the bus and ride through SC to find resources that address that selected problem or refer to the Scavenger Hunt information. C3. Primary Prevention Topic. Go to the Primary Prevention Topic List in the task directions, under the heading Supporting Documents and choose one topic from the list that relates to the health concern resources listed in C2. This section can be two sentencesâ¦. The Primary Prevention topic I have chosen is â¦â¦â¦â¦. This topic was selected as it relates to the resources identified in C2. D. Reflection. Is your conclusion, discuss how you will apply the assessment strategies you have learned from the simulation environment to your community assessment strategies in your community. For example, did this experience make you âthink out of the boxâ, provide you with additional assessment skills to serve your clients or to identify resources for them, etc.? It relates to you and your community/work area and not Sentinel City. This section is usually a couple of paragraphs. Below is a brief mock example for Section D. Be sure you use this only as a brief example to understand what could be included: I have learned from using the assessment strategies and tools how to assess my own community to identify resources and areas requiring supportâ¦etc. I have also learned through assessing a virtual community that critically analyzing data will assist to define problem areas in a community. Strategies that will be effective in assessing my community include gathering data on various aspects of the community and county such as demographics, available resources for problem areas, and visually assessing the community using a windshield survey.
