Case Study Writing Assignment

After reading Case Study on Organizational "I can send this in a word document" please consider how you, as a VHA clinic leader, would address the Population Health Organizational Assessment (PHOA) results of your group’s readiness to engage in a population health strategy. Because (like the average organization who had participated in the survey) your lowest scores were found to be in the areas of patient engagement and self-care for chronic conditions, your task is to prepare your group for learning and change in order to increase patient partnership and patient-centered care, especially in the areas of:

shared decision-making

health education and health literacy

health coaching and behavior change.

In a 3-4 page paper, please describe in detail your approach to a program to engage your clinicians and support staff and to lead the change effort.
