The purpose of Topic 5 and Topic 6 is to create a business model canvas, highlighting how human-centered design and technological advances can be used to solve real-world business problems. In Topic 5, you will develop the value proposition and the customer-facing elements of the business model canvas. These include customer relationships, customer segments, distribution channels, and revenue stream.

This assignment will expand upon the hypothesis you previously selected to create an improved hypothesis. Alternatively, feel free to pivot to an alternative problem. Based on your hypothesis and developed persona, you will develop a summary of your business model canvas for submission and feedback. Be sure to complete five of the nine boxes in the in the business model canvas listed above (in Topic 6, you will complete the rest of the boxes).
Then, create a 500- to 750-word summary of the five elements of the business model canvas discussed above.
For each of these, identify the key elements and describe why that element is crucial to the success of the business.  
Be sure to identify how you will manage each of these key elements to ensure business success.
Discuss what metrics you can use to measure your success in managing each of these elements.

a reflective and applied statement describing how the material has affected your thought processes, development, and professional disposition. This statement should reflect your personal learning process (challenges, moments of discovery, life experiences, and interactions). You may also include questions for your faculty member about material that may still be unclear. Ideally, you will use these reflections throughout the course and the program to document your development as a scholar, practitioner, and leader, and to reflect critically on the changes that occur during this process.

 
Review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the insights they provide about assessing, diagnosing, and treating mood disorders.
Review the Focused SOAP Note template, which you will use to complete this Assignment. There is also a Focused SOAP Note Exemplar provided as a guide for Assignment expectations.
Review the video, Case Study: Petunia Park. You will use this case as the basis of this Assignment. In this video, a Walden faculty member is assessing a mock patient. The patient will be represented onscreen as an avatar.
Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this patient.
Consider what interview questions you would need to ask this patient.
Consider patient diagnostics missing from the video: Provider Review outside of interview:
Temp 98.2  Pulse  90 Respiration 18  B/P  138/88
Laboratory Data Available: Urine drug and alcohol screen negative.  CBC within normal ranges, CMP within normal ranges. Lipid panel within normal ranges. Prolactin Level 8; TSH 6.3 (H)
The Assignment
Develop a Focused SOAP Note, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate a primary diagnosis. Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomatology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life? 

Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?  

Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5 criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.

Plan: What is your plan for psychotherapy? What is your plan for treatment and management, including alternative therapies? Include pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments, alternative therapies, and follow-up parameters as well as a rationale for this treatment and management plan. Also incorporate one health promotion activity and one patient education strategy.

Reflection notes: Reflect on this case. Discuss what you learned and what you might do differently. Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), social determinates of health, health promotion, and disease prevention that takes into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).
