Nurse-led Models of Care Addressing Population Health

3 credits · School of Nursing

Conceptual and theoretical frameworks that operationalize relationships among community-level factors, healthcare systems, and health outcomes are critical for guiding research that promotes population health. This course will explore novel conceptual models and methodological approaches that serve to guide the development, testing, and implementation of nurse-led models of care (NLMC) in community and healthcare settings addressing population health. Topics will include worldviews that consider alternative epistemological views of health; theories and models informing population health; innovative methods in engagement science and digital health to inform NLMC; and strategies to reach populations with the highest disease burden and limited access to care.
