Instructions
Review the Assessment Case Study: Evidence-Based Patient-Centered Concept Map media activity.
Create your concept map and narrative as separate parts of your document. Be sure to note where you must include your evidence-based support and clarify your strategies for communicating information to the patient and the patient’s family.
Integrate relevant evidence from 3–5 current scholarly or professional sources to support your assertions.

Part 1: Concept Map
• Develop a graphical concept map for the patient based on the best available evidence for treating your patient’s health, economic, and cultural needs.
• Many organizations use the spider style of concept maps (see the Taylor and Littleton-Kearney article for an example).
• The Assessment Case Study: Evidence-Based Patient-Centered Concept Map, which includes an example of a concept map, may help you prepare your assessment.
• If a particular style of concept map is used in your current care setting, you may use it in this assessment.

Part 2: Narrative Report
• Develop a narrative (2–4 pages) for your concept map.
• Analyze the needs of a patient and his or her family to ensure that the intervention in the concept map will be relevant and appropriate for their beliefs, values, and lifestyle.
• Consider how your patient’s economic situation and relevant environmental factors may have contributed to your patient’s current condition or could affect future health.
• Consider how your patient’s culture or family should inform your concept map.
• Determine the value and relevance of the evidence you used as the basis of your concept map.
• Explain why your evidence is valuable and relevant to your patient’s case.
• Explain why each piece of evidence is appropriate for the health issue you are addressing and for the unique situation of your patient and the family.
• Propose relevant and measurable criteria for evaluating the outcomes the patient needs to achieve.
• Explain why your proposed criteria are appropriate and useful measures of success.
• Explain how you will communicate specific aspects of the concept map to your patient and the family in an ethical, culturally sensitive, and inclusive way. Ensure that your strategies:
• Promote honest communications.
• Facilitate sharing only the information you are required and permitted to share.
• Are mindful of your patient’s culture.
• Enable you to make complex medical terms and concepts understandable to your patient and his or her family, regardless of language, abilities, or educational level.

Leadership Interview

You are required to utilise the knowledge and skills gained through the module to generate an idea for a ‘new’ venture, evaluate its possibility for ‘success’ and reflect on your learning. This could be for a business or social enterprise.

Note: There may also be an opportunity to develop a ‘new’ business unit within an existing organization or start-up. However, this must be discussed and agreed with the tutor in advance and relate to a business the student is working in or on.

This will require you to:

• Use appropriate frameworks discussed during the module to generate potential ‘business’ ideas.

• Develop one of those into a potential ‘business’ opportunity and present it in the form of a ‘Lean Canvas’.

• Apply appropriate approaches to ‘Research’ the potential opportunity and re-evaluate your original ‘Lean Canvas’, with a clear indication of whether it is feasible.

• Critically evaluate the ‘Lean Start Up Approach’ and reflect on what you have learnt about successful entrepreneurship and innovation. In doing so consider what other factors are critical beyond the ‘Lean Start Up’ Approach.
