It is one of the most cliché of clichés, but it nevertheless rings true: The only constant is change. As a nursing professional, you are no doubt aware that success in the healthcare field requires the ability to adapt to change, as the pace of change in healthcare may be without rival.
As a professional, you will be called upon to share expertise, inform, educate, and advocate. Your efforts in these areas can help lead others through change. In this Assignment, you will propose a change within your organization and present a comprehensive plan to implement the change you propose.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and identify one change that you believe is called for in your organization/workplace.
This may be a change necessary to effectively address one or more of the issues you addressed in the Workplace Environment Assessment you submitted in Module 4. It may also be a change in response to something not addressed in your previous efforts. It may be beneficial to discuss your ideas with your organizational leadership and/or colleagues to help identify and vet these ideas.
Reflect on how you might implement this change and how you might communicate this change to organizational leadership.
The Assignment (5-6-minute narrated PowerPoint presentation):
Change Implementation and Management Plan
Create a 5- or 6-slide narrated PowerPoint that presents a comprehensive plan to implement changes you propose.
Your narrated presentation should be 5–6 minutes in length.
Your Change Implementation and Management Plan should include the following:
An executive summary of the issues that are currently affecting your organization/workplace (This can include the work you completed in your Workplace Environment Assessment previously submitted, if relevant.)
A description of the change being proposed
Justifications for the change, including why addressing it will have a positive impact on your organization/workplace
Details about the type and scope of the proposed change
Identification of the stakeholders impacted by the change
Identification of a change management team (by title/role)
A plan for communicating the change you propose
A description of risk mitigation plans you would recommend to address the risks anticipated by the change you propose

Vulnerable Population: Homeless Individuals
a. Description of the Vulnerable Population Identified
Homeless individuals represent a vulnerable population, especially in urban areas, where they lack stable, permanent housing. This population includes people who experience chronic homelessness, living on the streets, in shelters, or in temporary accommodations. Homelessness significantly impacts individuals’ physical, mental, and emotional health, as they are exposed to a range of challenges and risks that contribute to health disparities.
b. Key Risk Factors
Poverty: Homelessness is deeply linked to poverty, which often limits access to essential resources such as adequate nutrition, healthcare, and hygiene. This economic insecurity exacerbates physical and mental health issues.
Mental Health Conditions: Many individuals experiencing homelessness suffer from mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These mental health challenges are often intensified by the trauma and instability associated with homelessness (Garcia et al., 2024).
Limited Access to Healthcare: Homeless individuals face significant barriers to accessing healthcare, including lack of insurance, transportation issues, and mistrust of healthcare systems. These barriers lead to untreated chronic conditions, mental health issues, and higher mortality rates (Taylor & Munson, 2023).
c. Health Risks or Disparities
Homeless individuals are at high risk for several health disparities, including:
Chronic Diseases: They are more likely to suffer from conditions such as respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension due to inadequate healthcare and unhealthy living conditions.
Mental Health Disorders: Due to the stress and trauma associated with homelessness, mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD are prevalent.
Infectious Diseases: Exposure to unsanitary environments and lack of access to hygiene increase the risk of infectious diseases like tuberculosis, hepatitis, and skin infections.
d. Concept Map: Relationships Between Elements
In a Concept Map, poverty, mental health, and limited access to healthcare would be identified as primary risk factors that contribute to homelessness. These factors influence the individual’s ability to access basic needs and care, which in turn increases their vulnerability to chronic diseases, mental health disorders, and infectious diseases. The Concept Map would show how these interconnected variables create a cycle of poor health outcomes for homeless individuals, further compounding their vulnerability.
e. Scholarly Source
Taylor and Munson (2023) highlight that homelessness leads to a cascade of health issues, both chronic and acute, due to barriers to healthcare access and the lack of stable living conditions.
In-text citation:
Taylor, S. N., & Munson, D. (2023, July 25). Health care of people experiencing homelessness: Part I. NEJM Evidence, 2(8). https://doi.org/10.1056/EVIDra2300123
Intervention Proposal
a. National Health Goal
A relevant goal from Healthy People 2030 is to reduce homelessness (HDS-01). This goal aims to reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness and increase their access to healthcare, addressing the underlying social determinants of health that contribute to homelessness and related health disparities.
b. Proposed Strategy for the Advanced Practice Nurse
An advanced practice nurse (APN) can advocate for and participate in the development of mobile healthcare units that target homeless populations. These units would provide essential healthcare services, including medical screenings, vaccinations, and mental health support, directly in homeless communities. The APN could work to integrate mental health professionals and social workers into these units, ensuring comprehensive care for the homeless.
c. Stakeholders for Collaboration
To implement this strategy, the APN could collaborate with:
Local health departments for resources and coordination of mobile health units.
Community-based organizations, such as shelters and food programs, to reach homeless populations.
Mental health professionals to provide support for trauma and mental health issues.
Policy makers to advocate for more funding for homelessness prevention and healthcare programs for vulnerable populations.
d. Scholarly Source Citations for the Proposal
Both Garcia et al. (2024) and Taylor and Munson (2023) emphasize the importance of community-based interventions and the integration of healthcare services for homeless individuals. The use of mobile health clinics is a proven strategy for improving health outcomes and addressing disparities for this population.

Discussion Board Guidelines
The purpose of a course’s discussion board is to promote an online exchange of students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes supported by the textbook readings and evidence-based information found in the literature or online. The exchange also includes application of material learned relating to the module and course learning outcomes.
The discussion board is comparable to a face-to-face classroom environment where students participate in a live discussion. In a course’s online environment, the instructor’s role is that of an observer and facilitator. The instructor will be reading all discussion posts and will participate when appropriate.
Maintain confidentially during the discussions, regarding names of patients and team members and discussions surrounding particular aspects of patient care or particular agencies.
To find your Discussion Group
Click on “People” in the left Canvas course menu to find your discussion group. You are assigned to one of three groups: Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3. This will be your assigned group for all discussions.
If the discussion has three discussion questions, your initial post will be for the group to which you are assigned. For the two replies, no matter if there is one question for all to reply to or three questions, you will answer to one person in each of the other two groups.
Discussion Board Evaluation Criteria
For initial posts, identify your group number at the top of your post. For all replies, identify the group number to which you are replying and address your peer by name. Do not use the word “Hey” as a salutation as it is not scholarly or professional.
Sign all three discussion posts at the end of your discussion and before the required references.
Until you post your initial post, you will not be able to see and read the posts of your peers.
All Initial posts must be made by day 4 (Saturday, 11:59 pm) and two replies by day 7 (Tuesday, 11:59 pm) of the week they are due. Posts must be made on two separate days. Any posts (initial or replies) made after day 7 will not be accepted and will receive a grade of zero.
Make sure to check the Discussion Board Grading Rubric for discussion post assignment criteria. This includes reference requirements.
Posts will be evaluated on the scholarly quality of the post per the grading rubric.
As a guide, the initial discussion post should be a minimum of 250 words. Each reply should be a minimum of 150 words. Points may be deducted if your post does not meet these requirements as the content may not be considered “substantive” enough to support your post.
Replies to peers: Posts that state, “Yes, I agree with your posting”, “I enjoyed reading the posting”, “You did a great job.” Do NOT count and NO points will be awarded.
All replies must be original; i.e. no plagiarism or use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). For more information on plagiarism and how to avoid it, review the following FSW Library tutorial: Understanding Plagiarism Tutorial: What is Plagiarism?Links to an external site.Links to an external site..
Do not use quotes from any source or author. The use of quotes just tells us what the author/reference material states. Paraphrase and cite the information.
Grammar, spelling, and proper APA format for references and citations are required and will be strictly enforced.
NOTE: If you write your post on a Word document and with correct APA format, the format may not transfer when your post is copied and pasted into Canvas. This only includes the paragraph spacing and the hanging indentation for the references.
References
Journal articles: All peer-reviewed journal article references must be available in the FSW Library and must be published within the last five (5) years unless considered a classic or historical source. You may also use articles from the StatPearls database or from the National Library of Medicine, National Center for Biotechnology Information.
If you cite an article, it means you have read the whole article, not just the abstract.
Websites: Only valid and reliable websites can be used (.org or .edu). Do not use a blog or an encyclopedia and most websites with advertisements are not scholarly with evidence-based content.
Textbooks: Make sure to refer to your APA Manual (7th ed.) or the APA Style website for the correct format if you use any textbook as a reference.
