HCDS Assessment

HCDS Assessment Paper 

Before the deconstruction of the U.S. HCDS can occur, there needs to be an assessment of the extant system.  The purpose of this paper is to report the result of your reflective evaluation of the current HCDS.  Then you will identify one barrier to practice as an advanced practice registered nurse, other than full practice authority, and provide a solution to that barrier by referencing evidenced-based research and scholarly references. Within a formal paper the student will:

·  Identify the purpose of the current U.S. HCDS

· Describe the population served by the U.S. HCDS

· Discuss the projected healthcare needs of the U.S.

· Evaluate the effectiveness of the current HCDS

· Identify barriers to NP practice in the current HCDS

· Reference research with ways that obstacles can be overcome.

APA format should guide the format of this paper.  The resultant document should not exceed 5 pages, exclusive of the title and reference pages.  An abstract is not necessary. A minimum of three scholarly articles (not older than 5 years) with evidenced based practice is required.
