Concept Map

Develop a concept map for the individual patient, based upon the best available evidence for treating your patient’s health, economic, and cultural needs.

Narrative
Develop a narrative (24 pages) for your concept map.

Analyze the needs of your patient and their family, and determine how those needs will influence a patient-centered concept map.
Consider how your patient’s economic situation and relevant environmental factors may have contributed to your patient’s current condition or affect their future health.
Consider how your patient’s culture or family should influence your concept map.
Justify the value and relevance of the evidence you used as the basis of your concept map.
Explain why your evidence is valuable and relevant to your patient’s case.
Explain why each piece of evidence is appropriate for both the health issue you are trying to correct and for the unique situation of your patient and their family.
Propose relevant and measurable criteria for evaluating the degree to which the desired outcomes of your concept map were achieved.
Explain why your proposed criteria are appropriate and useful measures of success.
Explain how you will communicate specific aspects of the concept map to your patient and their family in an ethical, culturally sensitive, and inclusive way. Ensure that your strategies:
Promote honest communications.
Facilitate sharing only the information you are required and permitted to share.
Are mindful of your patient’s culture.
Enable you to make complex medical terms and concepts understandable to your patient and their family, regardless of language, disabilities, or level of education.
