Practice Experience Conference (Post-Conference) Details

Students are required to initiate a Post- Conference that will occur during Topic 10.  This meeting is intended for the student, preceptor, and faculty to discuss the completion of the clinical practice experience, the learning goals contained in the Individual Success Plan (ISP), and course learning objectives. Completion of the written capstone project change proposal will also be discussed, including preceptor recommendations. Completion of the clinical practice experience will be documented on the “Clinical Evaluation Tool” (CET), which is submitted in LoudCloud prior to the Post- Conference.  The CET will be reviewed during the Post-Conference including recommendations from the preceptor.  Faculty will grade the submitted CET after the conference.

Students maintained and submitted weekly reflective narratives throughout the course to explore the personal knowledge and skills gained throughout this course. This assignment combines those entries into one course-long reflective journal that integrates leadership and inquiry into current practice as it applies to the Professional Capstone and Practicum course.

This final submission should also outline what students have discovered about their professional practice, personal strengths and weaknesses that surfaced during the process, additional resources and abilities that could be introduced to a given situation to influence optimal outcomes, and, finally, how the student met the competencies aligned to this course.

The final journal should address a variable combination of the following, while incorporating your specific clinical practice experiences:

1. New practice approaches

2. Interprofessional collaboration

3. Health care delivery and clinical systems

4. Ethical considerations in health care

5. Practices of culturally sensitive care

6. Ensuring the integrity of human dignity in the care of all patients

7. Population health concerns

8. The role of technology in improving health care outcomes

9. Health policy

10. Leadership and economic models

11. Health disparities

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Capstone Project Change Proposal Presentation

Safely managed water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services are essential in preventing and promoting health through outbreaks of infectious diseases, including the current COVID-19 pandemic (Kielar et al., 2021). The pandemic exposed the importance of hygiene in everyday activities and human beings’ lives. Investing in core public health infrastructures, such as water and sanitation systems, is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase pandemic preparedness, especially in resource-constrained settings (Jara, 2021). Good WASH and waste management that are consistently implemented serve as barriers to human-to-human transmission of the COVID-19 virus in homes, communities, health care facilities, schools, and other public spaces.

Hand washing is one of the most important things you can do to avoid getting infected with the COVID-19 virus.  WASH services should encourage more frequent and regular hand hygiene by higher competitive advantage and employing proven behavior change techniques. The WHO guidelines for the safe management of drinking water and sanitation services apply to the COVID-19 outbreak. Initiatives that go above and beyond these recommendations are unnecessary by safely managing WASH services and implementing good personal hygiene (Marshall et al., 2021). Such efforts will aid in the prevention of other contagious diseases that claim the lives of millions of people each year. The interventions will be evaluated through an outcome evaluation strategy, summative evaluation strategy, and formative evaluation approach.

The changes that my preceptor suggested before the presentation emphasized making the presentation lively and allowing the audience to ask questions as I provide. This interpersonal collaboration with my preceptor improved my presentation’s effectiveness is that the audience was pleased with how I handled the topic. Some of my audience’s questions were focusing on how effective the interventions would improve healthcare outcomes and society. The feedback was that if organizations and individuals will adhere to the measures of preventing covid-19. This experience will help me in developing my presentation strategies in the future.

Handwashing, food hygiene, and water safety practices are being improved. Examples of materials for washing hands and hygiene include the provision of fixed and portable handwashing f

New practice approaches

I must say, this is my very first time I am so overwhelmed plus a terrifying anxiety with this class. I felt like there was a mountain sitting on my chest, but I am so happy that am Preceptor is willing to work with the change proposal regarding Covid 19. My proposal will be based on handwashing to prevent covid 19. Hand washing is an important practice for minimizing the spread of covid-19 in healthcare facilities. Practicing hand washing at regular intervals helps to eliminate germs from hands. Healthcare providers must wash their hands after coughing/sneezing, after using the toilet, after handling a patient, and before handling a patient. Hand hygiene is a simple and effective way to prevent the spread of covid-19 infections (CDC, 2021).

The new approaches outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlight that healthcare providers should use an alcohol-based hand rub or wash their hands with soap and water. This practice is necessary for healthcare providers before touching a patient, performing aseptic procedures, or handling invasive medical devices (CDC, 2021). It is also essential for health professionals to wash their hands before moving from a soiled body site to a clean body site when treating a patient. After touching a patient and interact with the immediate environment, nurses and physicians must wash their hands thoroughly. Hand washing is also necessary after contact with body fluids or contaminated surfaces and immediately after removing the gloves.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that health facilities ensure that all healthcare personnel wash their hands with soap and running water when their hands are soiled. The facilities should provide the supplies necessary for adherence to hand hygiene, and they should be accessible areas where patient care takes place. According to the World Health Organization guidelines, health workers should practice hand hygiene using alcohol-based hand rub containing 60-80% alcohol or using soap, water, and disposable towels (WHO, 2021).
