In this course, you learned that Informatics for Transforming Nursing Care integrates nursing science with multiple information and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and communicate data, information, knowledge, and
wisdom in nursing practice. This provides knowledge and skills to apply informatics concepts, communications, and data critical to facilitating interprofessional data-driven decision-making. In population health initiatives, a nurse’s knowledge—including informatics competencies, clinical practice experience, and leadership skills—can be applied to positively affect health outcomes. All advanced professional nurses should strive to cultivate an awareness of and sense of involvement in population health to ensure equitable healthcare. In this task, you will gather data about the local geographical distribution of health-related factors for a county of your choice, study the significance of the data, and present the data in a manner illustrating the selected county’s population health. You will explore the community’s health profile and trends, as well as factors influencing the county’s current health status. Identifying health risk factors within a community serves as the foundation for setting priorities on healthcare initiatives.
You will do the following: 1. summarize key findings and highlight at least one health factor or condition requiring focused attention as a population health initiative; 2. create an action plan describing how you would create a service or a program to address the identified need and raise public awareness of and promote public engagement in this identified need; 3. and describe how you would monitor and evaluate the impact of your proposed service or program. You will use the attached “Population Health Data Paper Template” to complete your work. Any peer-reviewed sources are allowed.

INTRODUCTION
In this course, you learned that Informatics for Transforming Nursing Care integrates nursing science with multiple information and analytical sciences to identify, define, manage, and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice. This provides knowledge and skills to apply informatics concepts, communications, and data critical to facilitating interprofessional data-driven decision-making. In population health initiatives, a nurse’s knowledge—including informatics competencies, clinical practice experience, and leadership skills—can be applied to positively affect health outcomes. All advanced professional nurses should strive to cultivate an awareness of and sense of involvement in population health to ensure equitable healthcare.
In this task, you will gather data about the local geographical distribution of health-related factors for a county of your choice, study the significance of the data, and present the data in a manner illustrating the selected county’s population health. You will explore the community’s health profile and trends, as well as factors influencing the county’s current health status. Identifying health risk factors within a community serves as the foundation for setting priorities on healthcare initiatives. You will do the following: summarize key findings and highlight at least one health factor or condition requiring focused attention as a population health initiative; create an action plan describing how you would create a service or a program to address the identified need and raise public awareness of and promote public engagement in this identified need; and describe how you would monitor and evaluate the impact of your proposed service or program. You will use the attached “Population Health Data Paper Template” to complete your work.
REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 50% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
Use the attached “Population Health Data Paper Template” to complete the following components:
A. Provide an introduction to the population of interest, including the county and state, the overall health ranking, and 3–5 sentences describing the county.
B. Complete the “Sociodemographic Profile” section by doing the following:
1. Provide a screenshot of the state map with your chosen county highlighted. Include the screenshot as a labeled figure (Figure 1).
Note: Figures should be provided following the tables at the end of the attached “Population Health Data Paper Template.”
2. Complete Table 1, “Sociodemographic Profiles for [County, State] and the United States,” by providing data for each of the listed population characteristics for both the selected county and the United States using the “Census.gov QuickFacts” web link.
Note: Table 1 is located after the “References” page in the attached “Population Health Data Paper Template.” Include the source of your data.
3. Discuss the data provided in part B2, comparing the county data to the United States data, and summarize your findings.
C. Complete the “County Health Outcomes” section by doing the following, using the “County Health Rankings” web link for charts and data:
1. Select seven health trends for the chosen county, and provide one graph for each trend, resulting in a total of seven graphs. Include these graphs as labeled figures (Figures 2–8).
Note: Figures should be provided following the tables at the end of the attached “Population Health Data Paper Template.” Caption each graph in APA format. You may copy and paste an existing graph from anywhere on the “County Health Rankings & Roadmaps” website (such as health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors, and the physical environment) if available and provide the citation in APA format. If a trend graph is not available for the selected health trend, you will need to create a trend graph for that health trend using the data provided, using an application of your choice (e.g., Excel).
2. Complete the “County Health Trends and Rankings Discussion” subsection by discussing each of the seven health trends selected in part C1, including what the health outcome is and whether each trend is improving, worsening, or remaining stable.
D. Complete the “Health Factors” section by doing the following, using the “County Health Rankings & Roadmaps” web link for data:
