Assessment 1 will be based on an analysis of position papers that are relevant to a health care issue related to a vulnerable population. Think about your experience working with vulnerable populations, and the issues related to health care you have observed for those populations, or reflect on the two Vila Health simulations in the Resources.

What is the vulnerable population that most interests you?

- What is the health issue that is most prevalent or severe in the population?
- How does the health issue impact the daily lives of members of the population?
- How does the care environment in your chosen context impact both the population and the level of care related to the health issue?
- What are the biggest challenges that you would need to overcome to improve the outcomes for the population related to the health issue?
What is your position on how to best work to improve the care and outcomes that the population is receiving?

What previously published position papers support your position, or the need to work to improve care and outcomes in general for the population?

- How do these position papers support your assertions?
- How could one or more of the position papers help you to form a treatment plan?
What previously published position papers contradict your position?

What, if any, of these differences would make your position stronger if you incorporated them?
How could you respond to any irreconcilable differences in such a way as to encourage buy-in for your position from those opposed?
