Patient, Family, or Population Health Problem Solution
Develop an intervention (your capstone project), as a solution to the patient, family, or population problem you’ve defined.
Submit the proposed intervention to the faculty for review and approval. This solution needs to be implemented (shared) with your patient, family, or group.
You are not to share your intervention with your patient, family, or group or move on to Assessment 5 before your faculty reviews/approves the solution you submit in Assessment 4. In a separate written deliverable, write a 5-7 page analysis of your intervention.
Submit both your solution/intervention and the 5-7 page analysis to complete Assessment 4.
