 Incorporating Technology in Community-Based Learning
            Unique learning needs exist in all patient populations.  However, identifying the need and then designing a technology-based intervention requires a careful analysis of both the population and the planned action.  The purpose of this discussion is to describe a community-based population, describe a selected learning need for this population, and explain how I would design a PowerPoint presentation that would address that need. 
Community-Based Population
            I work in a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that provides primary care to patients across the lifespan.  FQHCs receive funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration Health Center Program to provide care in medically underserved communities (Health Resources & Services Administration [HRSA], 2018).  Over 28 million people receive care at FQHCs in the United States (HRSA, n.d.).  FQHCs use a sliding scale fee, ensuring patients have access to affordable medical care (HRSA, 2018).  While FQHCs are intended to serve the medically uninsured, over 77% of the patients receiving care at FQHCs have private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or another governmentally funded health insurance (HRSA, 2019).  Females represent 57.65% of the patient population, with patients between the ages of 25 and 69 years old presenting most frequently (HRSA, 2019).  However, the FQHC patient population possesses unique barriers to care.  A significant hurdle for FQHCs to overcome is language, as 23.63% speak a language other than English (HRSA, 2019).  Additionally, 68.23% of the patient population is at or below the poverty level (HRSA, 2019).  Complicating continuity of care with this patient population is the high number of migratory and seasonal workers and homeless individuals receiving care (HRSA, 2019).  All combined, these factors create a patient population with sub-par health literacy.
Learning Need
            Indigent patient populations are more likely to have decreased health literacy levels (Whitley, Jones, Hansen, & Vora, 2019).  Additionally, patients with diminished health literacy are less likely to return for follow-up care as scheduled (Thompson et al., 2015).  Patients who are chronically under- or uninsured do not return for follow-up appointments as medical is not always viewed as a necessity.  Failure to follow-up for appointments as scheduled has been shown to increase emergency department visits and worsen patient outcomes (Arora et al., 2015).  Therefore, a means to address the FQHC patients’ knowledge deficit of the need to return for follow-up appointments should be identified and implemented. 
Addressing the Learning Need
            As previously identified, members of FQHC patient populations have decreased health literacy resulting in noncompliance with follow-up appointments and poorer patient outcomes.  However, a systematic review of 60 studies identified text messages as an effective intervention to improve patient compliance, thereby increasing patient outcomes (Hirshberg, Downes, & Srinivas, 2018).  Text messages provide a low-cost, highly scalable intervention to improve patient follow-up (Arora et al., 2015).  Additionally, few members of society do not have access to a mobile phone.  Text messages sent seven days, and one day before scheduled appointments are effective intervals for improving patient follow-up (Arora et al., 2015).  Potential obstacles for this intervention include patients changing their mobile numbers, having limited data usage, and the inability to know whether the message was received.  However, using text messages to reinforce the need for compliance with follow-up care will address the learning deficit for this patient population.  Additionally, orientating the office staff and then including them in the implementation of this intervention will address the staff’s learning need.  Therefore, a PowerPoint presentation should be designed to orient the staff to this technology-based, evidence-based intervention.
Summary
            Learning needs exist in all patient populations.  Ongoing advances in technology are providing new methods for addressing these needs.  By taking advantage of these technologies, evidence-based interventions can successfully be implemented in the practice setting.

This is a power point presentation. My topic is converting from paper charting to electronic medical record.  
Discuss your topic and its relationship to your current (or future) practice. Discuss why the topic is important in healthcare informatics.  What research have you have found on the topic? Describe how each scholarly article relates to the topic and your current (or future) practice. Describe what conclusions you have drawn based on your research of the topic. What ethical or legal issues does this topic present? Create a plan for implementing a change (or justify the need for no change). Who needs to be involved? What training programs are needed? Is there a need for on-going training? Discuss how you would evaluate the success of the change (or the continued success of what you are currently doing). What is the cost to implement or maintain this change? Who will be financially responsible? How feasible is this change? Finally, identify how changes in public policy and technological advances in the future could impact this topic. What would those changes mean to the healthcare industry?

A servant leader that I have had that was internally consistent with their words and actions is my current leader. She is consistent with her words and her service to her direct reports. She makes all of us feel valued and respected. She gives us autonomy to be our own leaders and make decisions without feeling that we need to run everything by her. Her motto is to serve the patients first. If we act on patient service first the rest will work itself out. She is continually asking for our ideas and feedback. We are very active in the decision making in our areas. As a servant leader she continuously mentors’ others and encourages furthering education. Although she is supportive and serves next to us, we are also held accountable for our actions and decisions. The biggest characteristic of this leader is that she serves the community first. She encourages service programs that require volunteering and that result in services to the community. Her biggest event that she does every year is coming up next weekend. This is a 5K walk/run for women and children. All proceeds go to our local Children’s Miracle Network. This is a great community event and we all work the event to make this happen. As you can see this leader is not focused on power or authority as a secular leader. She is not focused on herself nor in power of her role. (DelHousaye & Brewer, 2004).
