DNP830: Global Population Health Course
Global Population Health uses epidemiologic methodology to examine global health issues and disease in human populations. Students explore innovative solutions to the world’s health care problems through collaboration and discuss the strengths and weaknesses inherent in each. They explore and discuss current, select global problems, such as infectious diseases, bioterrorism attacks, and effects of disasters and emergencies. Special attention is paid to the sensitivity and advocacy for vulnerable populations worldwide. Students examine cultural compassion and caring for diverse populations at risk within the healthcare profession.
This course includes documentation of 80 hours of immersion towards the 820 hours due during the DNP program.
Course Goals
By the conclusion of this course, student will be able to:
1. Validate and evaluate the use of epidemiology to identify major global issues in public health.
2. Originate and elaborate on both natural and man made health concerns to include terrorism and infectious diseases of global importance.
3. Discuss advocacy for vulnerable populations and diversity and then demonstrate cultural sensitivity in care planning and collaboration.
4. Critique the essential elements of disaster and emergency interventions for health care systems.
5. Assess major organization that are involved in global health and synthesize knowledge of important global health priorities.
6. Formulate and propose a plan to address health concerns in in regards to ethical, legal, social, and public health policy, to express a concentration on interdisciplinary collaboration.

Professional Standards
The Global Population Health course meets the AACN (2006) position statement and objective, specifically Essential V: Health Care Policy for Advocacy in Health Care Health care policy, Essential VI: Interprofessional Collaboration for Improving Patient and Population Health Outcomes and Essential VII: Clinical Prevention and Population Health for Improving the Nation’s Health of the Doctoral Education for Nursing Practice objectives by preparing the graduate to:
1. Essential V: Health Care Policy for Advocacy in Health Care Health Care Policy - whether it is created through governmental actions, institutional decision making, or organizational standards--creates a framework that can facilitate or impede the delivery of health care services or the ability of the provider to engage in practice to address health care needs. Thus, engagement in the process of policy development is central to creating a health care system that meets the needs of its constituents. Health policy influences multiple care delivery issues, including health disparities, cultural sensitivity, ethics, the internationalization of health care concerns, access to care, quality of care, health care financing, and issues of equity and social justice in the delivery of health care. Moreover, the DNP graduate is able to design, implement and advocate for health care policy that addresses issues of social justice and equity in health care. The powerful practice experiences of the DNP graduate can become potent influencers in policy formation. The DNP program prepares the graduate to: 1. Critically analyze health policy proposals, health policies, and related issues from the perspective of consumers, nursing, other health professions, and other stakeholders in policy and public forums. 2. Demonstrate leadership in the development and implementation of institutional, local, state, federal, and/or international health policy. 3. Influence policy makers through active participation on committees, boards, or task forces at the institutional, local, state, regional, national, and/or international levels to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes. 4. Educate others, including policy makers at all levels, regarding nursing, health policy, and patient care outcomes. 5. Advocate for the nursing profession within the policy and healthcare communities. 6. Develop, evaluate, and provide leadership for health care policy that shapes health care financing, regulation, and delivery. 7. Advocate for social justice, equity, and ethical policies within all healthcare arenas.
2. Essential VI: Interprofessional Collaboration for Improving Patient and Population Health Outcomes - today’s complex, multi-tiered health care environment depends on the contributions of highly skilled and knowledgeable individuals from multiple professions. DNP members of these teams have advanced preparation in the interprofessional dimension of health care that enable them to facilitate collaborative team functioning and overcome impediments to interprofessional practice. Because effective interprofessional teams function in a highly collaborative fashion and are fluid depending upon the patient's needs, leadership of high performance teams changes. Therefore, DNP graduates have preparation in methods of effective team leadership and are prepared to play a central role in establishing interprofessional teams, participating in the work of the team, and assuming leadership of the team when appropriate. The DNP program prepares the graduate to: 1. Employ effective communication and collaborative skills in the development and implementation of practice models, peer review, practice guidelines, health policy, standards of care, and/or other scholarly products. 2. Lead interprofessional teams in the analysis of complex practice and organizational issues. 3. Employ consultative and leadership skills with intraprofessional and interprofessional teams to create change in health care and complex healthcare delivery systems.
3. Essential VII: Clinical Prevention and Population Health for Improving the Health of a Nation - clinical prevention is defined as health promotion and risk reduction/illness prevention for individuals and families. Population health is defined to include aggregate, community, environmental/occupational, and cultural/socioeconomic dimensions of health. Aggregates are groups of individuals defined by a shared characteristic such as gender, diagnosis, or age. The implementation of clinical prevention and population health activities is central to achieving the national goal of improving the health status of the population of the United States. DNP graduates engage in leadership to integrate and institutionalize evidence-based clinical prevention and population health services for individuals, aggregates, and populations. Consistent with these national calls for action and with the longstanding focus on health promotion and disease prevention in nursing curricula and roles, the DNP graduate has a foundation in clinical prevention and population health. This foundation will enable DNP graduates to analyze epidemiological, biostatistical, occupational, and environmental data in the development, implementation, and evaluation of clinical prevention and population health. Current concepts of public health, health promotion, evidence-based recommendations, determinants of health, environmental/occupational health, and cultural diversity and sensitivity guide the practice of DNP graduates. In addition emerging knowledge regarding infectious diseases, emergency/disaster preparedness, and intervention frame DNP graduates’ knowledge of clinical prevention and population health. The DNP program prepares the graduate to: 1. Analyze epidemiological, biostatistical, environmental, and other appropriate scientific data related to individual, aggregate, and population health. 2. Synthesize concepts, including psychosocial dimensions and cultural diversity, related to clinical prevention and population health in developing, implementing, and evaluating interventions to address health promotion/disease prevention efforts, improve health status/access patterns, and/or address gaps in care of individuals, aggregates, or populations. 3. Evaluate care delivery models and/or strategies using concepts related to community, environmental and occupational health, and cultural and socioeconomic dimensions of health.
