Introduction

In your first three assessments, you applied new knowledge and insight gleaned from
the literature, from organizational data, and from direct consultation with the patient,

assessment of the problem. You’ve examined the problem from the perspectives of
leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, policy, quality of care,
patient safety, costs to the system and individual, technology, care coordination, and
community resources. Now it’s time to turn your attention to proposing an intervention
(your capstone project), as a solution to the problem.
