Select an organization with which you are familiar that went through a practice change to address a practice or organization issue. Note: You may reuse organizations and/or issues that you selected earlier in this course. Or you may select new ones.
Consider how SDOH and positive social change relate to the issue you selected.
Consider how the approaches used by the organization to address the practice or organization issue were decided upon and received, as well as if the outcome was satisfactory or not.
Identify the organization you selected. Describe the practice or organization issue you selected.
Explain how SDOH relates to the issue you selected. Be specific and provide examples.
Were SDOH addressed? If so, in what ways?
Did positive social change occur? Why or why not?
Using Appendix A from the Dang et al. text. Briefly describe the steps that were followed and/or missing in the organization’s approach to the practice or organization change.
Were the outcomes positive or negative?
If the outcome was less than satisfactory, what could have been done differently to achieve a better outcome? Be specific and provide examples.
If the outcome was satisfactory, what key actions were taken that led to this positive outcome? Be specific and provide examples.
How was the change measured, if at all? In what ways were the outcomes evaluated? Be specific and provide examples.
Note: Your posts should be substantial (500 words minimum), supported with scholarly evidence from your research and/or the Learning Resources, and properly cited using APA Style. Personal anecdotes are acceptable as part of a meaningful post but cannot stand alone as the entire post.
