Population Health in Your Practice or Organization
focus on professional discourse about your personal experiences and observations of planning, developing, and implementing population health improvement initiatives in your practice and care settings.
For this discussion, please address the following with the FEM in mind:
Describe an experience you have had working with a population or community health initiative (or describe a time in your care setting that you observed this type of work being done at your organization or in your community).
Briefly explain the considerations of the community that were addressed and how data about the community was incorporated.
How was the diversity of culture and beliefs in the community taken into account?
How were other health concerns of the community also taken into account?
How were the economic and daily environmental realities of the community taken into account?
Consider successes, challenges, and failures you observed in how the community needs were addressed or considered.
What ethical considerations, if any, were there for working with specific groups and stakeholders in the community?
Reflect on things you would have suggested doing differently if you could revisit that community case.
