Journaling provides a valuable tool for recording, reflecting on, and reviewing your learning. This approach provides an opportunity for you to “connect the dots” and observe the relationships between and among activities, interactions, and outcomes.
Unlike a personal journal of thoughts and feelings, this leadership journal is a record of your activities, assessments, and learning related to this academic experience.
Journal entries should include a record of the number of hours spent with your nurse leader each week.
Write a journal entry of 750-1,500 words on the subject of purpose, including the following:
Practicum Activities Reflection: Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in your practicum during Weeks 5, 6, & 7.
Application of Leadership: Describe your preceptor’s leadership style. How does it affect the people they lead? Do staff members express feelings of support and helpfulness? Are there examples of dictating rather than leading? Does the leader say or do things designed to “build up” staff, or have you seen missed opportunities?
Practicum Project Preparation: Describe your communication plan for your stakeholders. Who will be notified of what and at what time? What education is needed and for whom?
Leadership Video Reflection: Reflect on at least two things you learned from the “Servant Leadership – Issue of Rule” video.
Use the “Leadership Journal Template,” located in Class Resources, to complete this assignment.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting 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.

Social Determinants of Health
Digital inclusion or broadband access should be included as a key area to the social determinants of health because the internet is vital for promoting high-quality healthcare outcomes. One of the reasons why digital inclusion or broadband access should be added as a key area to the social determinants of health is that it promotes healthcare access (Benda et al., 2020). Online healthcare resources and telehealth have become important in healthcare accessibility, and lack of digital inclusion and broadband access can prevent individuals, especially from rural areas, from getting high-quality healthcare services. Telemedicine ensures patients can get healthcare assistance through portals, video calls, and wearable devices; hence, it needs to be included as a social determinant of health to promote healthcare access to people living in rural areas (Sharma & Patten, 2022). For example, access to smartphones, tablets, and healthcare applications can help individuals get healthcare services such as consultation and checkups without traveling long distances to healthcare facilities.
Broadband access and digital inclusion should be added to social determinants of health because they help individuals get employment, addressing health disparities due to income difficulties. Today, people study online, requiring an internet connection and digital devices. After completion, graduates search and apply for jobs online, hence earning income sufficient to afford high-quality medical services. After completion of school, students search for jobs online using broadband and digital devices; thus, there is a need for digital literacy and support to access well-paying jobs with healthcare benefits that address health disparities (Sieck et al., 2021). For example, graduates use online job application portals companies provide to apply for jobs using smartphones and computers, hence getting adequate funds to access high-quality healthcare services (Benda et al., 2020). Additionally, broadband access and digital inclusion should be included in social determinants of health because they create social connections, promoting mental health and well-being through easy connections with family, community resources, and friends (HealthIT.gov, 2018).
Mobile health, patient portals, electronic health records, or telehealth can impact social determinants of health by improving access to healthcare, promoting health information, and reducing health disparities (Skiba, 2017). Telemedicine ensures healthcare services can be easily accessible and health disparities are addressed since people can get healthcare services without traveling to healthcare centers, which can lead to poor healthcare outcomes due to discrimination. For example, online consultation through video calls is affordable, and people from low-income backgrounds can access the services and increase healthcare literacy through various online platforms (Benda et al., 2020). On the other hand, social determinants of health impact telehealth by determining affordability and accessibility. Individuals with low income and low literacy levels face difficulties in getting internet and digital devices to access telehealth.

I firmly believe that digital inclusion and broadband access should be added as a key area to the social determinants of health. I live in a rural area. Until 6 months ago, satellite internet was the only internet service available in my area. It was so slow that it really didn’t work well enough to use purposefully. There is no way I would have been able to use a telehealth platform or access a patient portal. The cellular service in our area is also poor, so using my cell phone was not an option. This is the reality for more people than you would expect. Consider how many telehealth visits were done during the pandemic. It’s one thing if you can’t stream a movie because the internet is not available to you. It’s wholly different if you cannot access your physician. There were patients falling through the cracks during the pandemic because they did not have access to virtual visits (Sieck et al. 2021).
This problem also comes in the form of digital illiteracy. Several factors contribute to this issue, including age, education, and income. Fortunately, many libraries, community health workers, and healthcare systems are partnering to combat the issue of digital illiteracy. (Benda et al. 2020)
So many benefits come with the ability to utilize digital platforms in healthcare. Telemedicine, for example, enables homebound patients to visit their physician in a less taxing manner. It opens the possibility for patients in rural areas to see providers that they may not be able to travel to see due to distance or cost of travel. Using patient portals and electronic medical records also offers benefits to patients. So, there is a disparity when patients cannot access these benefits. According to Benda et al. (2020), Because disparities affect the health of people and communities, they should be treated as a public health issue. And as Sieck et al. (2021) points out, this particular disparity can potentially affect all of the other social determinants of health.

In my view, digital inclusion should be added as a key area to the social determinants of health (SDOH). Healthcare, education, economic stability, and the physical environment are some of the examples of SDOH; hence, digital inclusion would make these factors more valuable to society. SDOH is recommended for public health by Healthy People 2030 (CDC and Prevention, 2022). I believe that digital inclusion—particularly internet access—must predict health as healthcare becomes digital. Due to digital inclusion’s rising effect on healthcare services and technology, SDOH should promote digital inclusion.
I believe that fair EHR, mobile, patient portal, and telemedicine can impact and be impacted by SDOH in different ways. Telemedicine has revolutionized rural and underprivileged healthcare (CDC and Prevention, 2022). Patient portals and mobile health applications let consumers manage chronic conditions, see health information, and connect with clinicians. I believe that these tools only allow patients to fully engage in therapy, which in turn lowers health outcomes. EHRs let doctors access, share, and improve patient care by reducing mistakes. Patients require an internet connection to access timely medical information or preventive care, which can complicate treatment continuity and negatively impact patient outcomes, hence the impact of SDOH on these factors. Hence, I believe health literacy and empowerment need digital inclusion (Borg et al., 2019). Insufficient digital participation creates healthcare disparities as internet outages isolate the poor, aged, and rural (Mohtar & Badr, 2022). Digital inclusion in SDOH’s key areas may assist public health programs in accomplishing healthcare system goals and making technology accessible.

Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented. Prior assessments are included in reference
Once an intervention is planned and implemented it is important to evaluate the degree to which the outcomes of the project were achieved. By evaluating the desired outcomes of an intervention, it is possible to make more informed decisions about opportunities for continuous improvement. It is also possible to identify strategies and approaches that could be useful in improving one’s personal practice in other contexts or care areas.
Preparations
Read Guiding Questions: Evaluation Plan Design [DOC]. This document is designed to give you questions to consider and additional guidance to help you successfully complete this assessment.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
What specific piece or pieces of technology did you propose using in your implementation plan?
How did the type of technology you chose impact the development of your implementation plan?
How will the incorporation of the technology you propose make your implementation plan more successful?
Instructions
Note: The assessments in this course are sequenced in such a way as to help you build specific skills that you will use throughout your program. Complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
Your evaluation plan design will be the forth section of your final project submission. The goal for this is to finalize the outcomes that your plan is seeking to achieve and to create a plan to evaluate the degree to which those outcomes would have been achieved if your intervention plan has been implemented. This will allow you to determine the degree to which the plan was successful in addressing the identified need of your target population and setting.
You will also discuss ways in which your role allows you to lead change and drive quality improvement, and to potentially improve the project in the future. In addition, you will reflect on how the project will leave you better prepared for success in other aspects of your current and future career. Provide enough detail so that the faculty member assessing your implementation plan design and discussion will be able to provide substantive feedback that you will be able to incorporate into the final draft of your project.
At minimum, be sure to address the bullet points below, as they correspond to the grading criteria. You may also want to read the scoring guide and the Guiding Questions: Evaluation Plan Design [DOC]document to better understand how each criterion will be assessed. In addition to the bullet points below, provide a brief introduction that refreshes the reader’s memory about your problem statement, your planned intervention, and how you intended to implement your intervention (this should only be a single paragraph).

Introduction
Interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of a nurse’s work. Through interprofessional collaboration, practitioners and patients share information and consider each other’s perspectives to better understand and address the many factors that contribute to health and well-being (Sullivan et al., 2015). Essentially, by collaborating, health care practitioners and patients can have better health outcomes. Nurses, who are often at the frontlines of interacting with various groups and records, are full partners in this approach to health care.
Reflection is a key part of building interprofessional competence, as it allows you to look critically at experiences and actions through specific lenses. From the standpoint of interprofessional collaboration, reflection can help you consider potential reasons for and causes of people’s actions and behaviors (Saunders et al., 2016). It also can provide opportunities to examine the roles team members adopted in a given situation as well as how the team could have worked more effectively.
As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the What is Reflective Practice? activity. The activity consists of five questions that will allow you the opportunity to practice self-reflection. The information gained from completing this formative will help with your success on the Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video assessment. Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate course engagement
Note: The Example Kaltura Reflection demonstrates how to cite sources appropriately in an oral presentation/video. Your assessment will reflect on either a professional collaboration you experienced or a collaboration case study scenario that you imagine you experienced.
