Develop a 4–6 page holistic intervention plan design to improve the quality of outcomes
for your target population and setting. You will also be required to submit your
completed practicum hours using Capella Academic Portal.
Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous
assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order
in which they are presented.
Your application of the PICOT approach to developing your problem statement and the
research that you conducted and synthesized in your literature review are the
foundation and framework that you will need to successfully build your intervention plan.
This plan will lay out specific components of the intervention you are planning to
address the need you have identified for the target population and setting. You will
justify your approach to the intervention plan by integrating appropriate theoretical
foundations. You will also analyze and address the needs of stakeholders, requirements
of regulatory bodies, and ethical and legal considerations. It is important to have a
sound intervention plan design in place before trying to work on the details of
implementation and evaluation.

Preparations
 As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other
related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are
encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow
learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional
community. Note that these questions are for your own development and
exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your
assessment.
o What theoretical nursing models, strategies from other disciplines, and
health care technologies could help support or justify your approach to the
intervention plan?
o What evidence from the literature or best practice supports the
intervention plan components you identified?
o What, if any, potential is there for technology to help in the development or
implementation of the intervention plan components?
o What is the impact of stakeholders, health care policy, or regulations?

o Are there any ethical or legal considerations related to the development or
implementation of the intervention plan components that need to be kept
in mind? If so, what are they?

Instructions
Note: The assessments in this course are sequenced in such a way as to help you build
specific skills that you will use throughout your program. Complete the assessments in
the order in which they are presented.
Your intervention plan design will be the second section of your final project submission.
The goal for this is to design a holistic plan that should be able to improve the quality of
outcomes for your target population and setting. Provide enough detail so that the
faculty member assessing your intervention plan design will be able to provide
substantive feedback that you will be able to incorporate into the other project
components in this course, as well as into the final draft of your project.
At minimum, be sure to address the bullet points below, as they correspond to the
grading criteria. You may also want to read the rubric and Guiding Questions for
Assessment 3: Intervention Plan Design [PDF] to better understand how each criterion
will be assessed. In addition to the bullet points below, provide a brief introduction that
refreshes the reader's memory about your problem statement and the setting and
context for this intervention plan.
Reminder: these instructions are an outline. Your heading for this section should be
