You have been presented with a number of patient case files in the Evidence-Based Patient-Centered Care media piece. You reviewed each case, selected one case for further research, and created draft evidence-based concept map to illustrate an approach to individualized care for the patient. In this assessment, you will build upon and refine your draft concept map and develop a supporting narrative. Create your concept map and narrative as separate documents. Be sure to note the areas where you need to include your evidence-based support and where you need to make clear your strategies for communicating information to the patient and the patients family. Many organizations use the spider style of concept maps (see the Taylor & Littleton-Kearney article for an example). Also, if a specific style of concept map is used in your current care setting, you may use it in this assessment. Create your concept map and narrative as separate documents. Be sure to note the areas where you need to include your evidence-based support and where you need to make clear your strategies for communicating information to the patient and the patients family. The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide, so be sure to address each point. In addition, you may want to review the performance level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. Integrate relevant evidence from 35 current scholarly or professional sources to support your assertions. Develop a narrative (24 pages) for your concept map. Grading Rubric: 1. Design an individualized, patient-centered concept map, based upon the best available evidence for treating a patients specific health, economic, and cultural needs. Passing Grade: Designs an individualized, patient-centered concept map, based upon the best available evidence for treating a patients specific health, economic, and cultural needs, and identifies assumptions on which the plan is based. 2. Analyze the needs of a patient, and those of their family, with regard to how those needs will influence a patient-centered concept map. Passing grade: Analyzes the needs of a patient, and those of their family, with regard to how those needs will influence a patient-centered concept map. Identifies knowledge gaps, unknowns, missing information, unanswered questions, or areas of uncertainty (where further information could improve the analysis). 3. Justify the value and relevance of evidence used as the basis of a patient-centered concept map. Passing grade: Justifies the value and relevance of evidence used as the basis of a patient-centered concept map, and impartially considers conflicting data and other perspectives 4. Propose relevant and measurable criteria for evaluating the outcomes of a patient-centered concept map. Passing grade: Proposes relevant and measurable criteria for evaluating the outcomes of a patient-centered concept map, and acknowledges challenges specific to such an evaluation process. 5. Develop a strategy for communicating with patients and their families in an ethical, culturally sensitive, and inclusive way. Passing grade: Develops a strategy for communicating with patients and their families in an ethical, culturally sensitive, and inclusive way, and identifies assumptions on which the strategy is based. 6. Integrate relevant and credible sources of evidence to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style. Passing Grade: Integrates relevant and credible sources of evidence to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style. Citations are error-free.
