Population health Case study  Due 11/3/2020

Case: Correctional Health (Adapted from http://library.umassmed.edu/ebpph/casesolutions_rev.pdf)

You are the recently-hired health administrator at a correctional facility / prison in New York State. Inmate suicide is a huge problem in your institution. You have been called in to collaborate with the counseling and guard representatives on a plan to prevent inmate suicides while reducing the costs associated with suicide watches.

Using evidence based resources and chapters two and five of your text: Curley, A. L. C., (2019). Population-Based Nursing (3rd Ed.), use the following steps in developing a plan (see beloow):

· Identify the geographic population targeted

· Using “PICO” (Population Studied, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome), develop a plan to reduce inmate suicide while reducing the costs associated with suicide watches.

· Based on your PICO plan, develop an appropriate research question based on what you would like to explore and achieve with your interventions. 

· Discuss the community engagement of at least one public and/or private partner who may be beneficial in improving the situation. How could they contribute?

· Identify a model (i.e. the Advancing Research and Clinical Practice through Close Collaboration [ARCC], the Chronic Care Model [CCM], the Johns Hopkins Nursing Model, the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Quality of Care, etc.) that you believe will facilitate the implementation of your PICO plan. Give a rational why you believe it is the best model.

Develop an APA formatted 750-1000 word paper based on your findings and formulation of a plan.

Include a minimum of four (4) evidence-based references besides your texts.

Make sure to use APA citations AND avoid plagiarism.
