Case studies are an invaluable record of the clinical practices of a profession. While case studies cannot provide specific guidance for the management of successive patients, they are a record of clinical interactions which help us to frame questions for more rigorously designed clinical studies. Case studies also provide valuable teaching material, demonstrating both classical and unusual presentations which may confront the practitioner. Quite obviously, since the overwhelming majority of clinical interactions occur in the field, not in teaching or research facilities, it falls to the field practitioner to record and pass on their experiences. However, field practitioners generally are not well-practised in writing for publication, and so may hesitate to embark on the task of carrying a case study to publication. These guidelines are intended to assist the relatively novice writer – practitioner or student – in efficiently navigating the relatively easy course to publication of a quality case study. Guidelines are not intended to be proscriptive, and so throughout this document we advise what authors “may” or “should” do, rather than what they “must” do. Authors may decide that the particular circumstances of their case study justify digression from our recommendations.

The purpose of this assignment is to identify and share examples of collaboration in the health care community demonstrating how they are working to solve difficult problems.
In groups of 3, you will select an article or project that demonstrates collaboration in health care. It can be within an organization (e.g., interprofessional collaboration) or between two or more organizations. You must identify the organization(s) that are collaborating and the difficult problem they have come together to solve.
You are required to submit your topic to the assignment drop box for your professor’s approval a minimum of 2 weeks before your presentation date. Groups with presentations on Week 11 will submit 1 week prior.
You must submit only one project topic at a time to the assignment drop box for the professor for review. In your submission, you must identify the organization(s) that are collaborating, the problem they are trying to solve and cc your group.
You will present your collaborative project to the class.
All students must equally participate in the presentation
Questions to Be Answered During the Presentation:
What is the problem that the collaborative project is trying to solve?
What is the collaboration? Describe the project or program.
How is it an example of collaboration (versus cooperation or co-creation)?
What is the shared common goal for both organizations?
Who were the stakeholders in the collaborations and what strengths did each bring to the project?
Were the right stakeholders involved in this collaboration? Were any missing?
Reflect on the impact of this collaboration on today’s Canadian health care system- what was the effect of the collaboration? Think about performance management here – did it add/improve quality, effectiveness, efficiency, productivity, or add value to the health care system? If the article/initiative was conducted in another country- how could it be applied to the Canadian health care system?
Submission Requirements
The presentation should be 10 – 15 minutes long.
No more than 15 slides
One member from the group must submit the PowerPoint presentation to this assignment submission folder, before you present. The presentation dates are listed with the groups. There will be approximately 3 presentations every week from Weeks 11 to 14
Format:
APA Conestoga format
Submitted using this assignment submission folder. Submitted as a PowerPoint document
As you prepare for your group
presentations, please remember that it is not enough to simply rely on one
article for the collaborative project you chose. You are required to also do
some searching like:
· look at the stakeholders’ respective websites
·
other news stories about the collaborative
project

Reflective Critical Analysis Instructions
The purpose of each RCA is to provide an in-depth exploration of your experience, and to demonstrate your professional growth, and ability to integrate evidence into practice using the Clinical Judgement Model. Please refer to Canvas for additional guidelines. The RCA structure and format is outlined in your course syllabus and the grading rubric is available in Appendix B of your Course Syllabus.
RCA #2 Focus Area
Social justice is a core value of community health nursing. Using the Clinical Judgement Model to structure your writing, critically analyze and discuss an experience that reflects social justice and the way your practicum site uses the principles of primary health care (at least one) to increase social justice in the population your organization serves.
RCA Structure and Format
RCA papers should be four to five pages, numbered and with a title page (not counted in the page count), using and referencing nursing literature, community health literature, RNAO best practice guidelines, CNO standards, and/or ways of knowing, and should include at least three scholarly, peer reviewed references (one of which is a research article). Other expectations include: proper use of language and grammar; well-organized and logical flow of ideas using the Clinical Judgement Model; clear transition between paragraphs; proper use of APA. The use of ‘I’ is acceptable in reflective scholarly nursing writing and will help to explore one’s own practice, ideas, new learning.

Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 3: Research Analysis
Architect Daniel Libeskind is credited with saying “To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history, but to articulate it.” The suggestion is that his work does not copy the efforts of others but relies on it.
Understanding the work of others is critically important to new work. Contributions to the nursing body of knowledge can happen when you are able to analyze and articulate the efforts of previous research. Research analysis skills are therefore critical tools for your toolbox.
In this Assignment, you will locate relevant existing research. You also will analyze this research using a tool helpful for analysis.
