ACTIVITY 7.0

MENTOR ACTION PLAN (MAP)

Engaging with multiple mentors across your career is expected. Mentoring relationships may be formal and assigned; some are informal and develop naturally; however, all mentoring relationships require attention and nurturing to be beneficial.

Keep you and your priorities in mind as you cultivate your mentoring relationships.

Purpose: To assist you in determining goals for a mentor-mentee relationship.

DEMONSTRATING EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP

  • Health disparities/social determinants of health: Focus on vulnerable or high-risk groups and on decreasing disparities between groups. You can select a specific group with a focus on experience of care, services, and resources (quality and satisfaction); improving the health of the population; and reducing per capita cost. This will be the focus for the coalition.

To complete this assignment you need to create topic headings for each section as noted in the instructions and exemplar paper.

  • Contributing Factors: Analyze the impact of factors that contribute to this chronic population health concern.
    • Examine the situation from a population health perspective.
    • Provide context surrounding this concern.
    • Identify the affected groups, and the environmental, social, and financial factors.
  • Coalition to Address the Population Health Topic Selected: Form a collaborative coalition to address this chronic population health concern.
    • Consider, among others, key community members, stakeholders, constituents, clinical providers, administrators, health care and community organizations, and local civic and state agencies, etc., when making your selections.
    • Select 5–10 members.
      • Who must be included?
      • Why?
    • How will member selection contribute to the goal?
    • Develop a table as demonstrated here and in the exemplar paper to list your selections and the rationale for inclusion (add rows as needed):
Coalition Team Members and Their Contribution
Coalition Team Members Contribution
  • Issues Affecting Collaboration: What potential issues might arise affecting collaboration?
  • Strategies to Optimize Collaboration: What strategies are needed to optimize collaboration and communication among coalition members?
  • Ethical Considerations: Explain potential ethical issues that might be relevant for the coalition to consider in addressing its mission.
    • Consider access to care, financial barriers, environmental constraints, and the distribution of resources.
    • Explain how ethical principles, e.g., beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, justice, might be relevant for the coalition to consider in addressing its mission on a micro and meso level.
      • Micro level: individual care encounters.
      • Meso level: how systems are organized to deliver and ensure quality care for patients and populations (Ho & Pinney, 2016).
    • Consider how the coalition might utilize one of the three professional ethical codes or a code relevant to your practice, e.g., public health, nursing,
      health administration, in their work within the coalition and with the selected population.
    • What evidence supports your conclusions?
  • Collaboration, Diversity, and Inclusion: Explain the principles of diversity and inclusion applicable to the formation of your coalition and its interactions with the community.
    • Consider the impact of a diverse team on achieving coalition goals.
    • How would you work within the coalition to establish a culture of inclusion, respect, and value?
    • How would you promote community engagement, cultural awareness, health equity, and access to resources? Resources can include, but are not limited to medications, transportation, and environmental resources.
    • What are some best practices for communication for this group?
    • What evidence supports your conclusions?
  • Literature Review to Address the Population Health Topic Selected: Explain how literature and research in the field can be used to develop best practices for addressing this chronic population health concern.
    • Locate two current, peer-reviewed studies published within the last five years that coalition members should consider as foundational to developing an evidence-based intervention for the situation.
    • Briefly summarize the findings, then focus on how the coalition might use this information for their work, connecting with the scholar practitioner
      model (from theory to evidenced-based practice).
  • Conclusion.
