Introduction
Overview
In the Comprehensive Health Assessment for Patients and Populations course, you will explore
the principles of health assessment for individuals and populations, and consider the global
factors impacting health. You will perform a comprehensive functional health assessment that
includes social structures, family history, and environmental factors, from the individual patient
to the population.
You will use the knowledge you have gained from previous courses in areas such as
pathophysiology, pharmacology, and epidemiology, and apply this knowledge in various
populations experiencing common disorders. You will also develop advanced communication
and problem-solving skills.
This course is roughly divided into three parts:
1. Advanced health assessment focusing on abnormal findings for common disease.
2. Integrating health assessment findings into a population, considering such issues as
culture, spirituality, and continuum.
3. Patient functionality based upon the problems and populations
Getting Started
Welcome to Comprehensive Health Assessment for Patients and Populations. Begin the course
by becoming familiar with the 3 primary Learning Resources and i-Human, a virtual patient tool
which allows you the opportunity to practice and improve your comprehensive assessment skills
—you will be direct linked to the appropriate resource as needed. There are three performance
assessments for this course—a comprehensive assessment completed in i-Human, a video
assessment completed on a patient of your choosing, and a paper addressing the factors
considered in your comprehensive video assessment. Review the Assessment Directions and
Assessment Rubrics to make sure you understand the performance task requirements. Next,
review the Pacing Guide and develop a plan for completing the course. You should complete
each section of the course and the corresponding activities in the order they appear to ensure
successful completion of your final project tasks. Make sure you have a notebook ready to take
notes, when completing your i-Human patient assessments, check the course tips for useful
messages about the course, and contact your course instructors for assistance as questions
arise.
