Introduction
Evidence-based practice is a key skill in the toolkit of the master’s-prepared nurse. Its goal is that health care practitioners use the best available evidence to improve population health outcomes and make the best clinical decisions (Gallagher et al., 2020). In essence, evidence-based practice is all about ensuring quality care.
For this assessment will begin to apply some of the evidence-based practice strategies you have learned to ensure quality care for an individual patient. The primary strategy that you will utilize to accomplish this is an evidence-based patient-centered needs assessment. A patient-centered needs assessment can help you organize the relationships between ideas, challenges, or terms to utilize the best evidence to plan interventions. The overall goal of the resources and this assessment is to allow you the opportunity to apply evidence-based practice and personalized care concepts in order to improve the health of a single patient.

Professional Context
Patient-centered needs assessment is a critical element in nursing care. The findings from the needs assessment can be effective tools for organizing a plan of action, prioritizing patient care strategies, and developing personalized care approaches that improve patient engagement. In addition to organizing care, they can aid in ensuring that the patient’s care is individualized to their health conditions as well as familial, cultural, and environmental circumstances.
Scenario
The purpose of a needs assessment is to identify priorities of a community or patient population. The findings of a needs assessment can be an extremely useful tool to help organize and plan care decisions for a specific patient or group. By conducting a needs assessment, a nurse can then use the best evidence to guide the interventions selected to meet the identified needs and improve patient engagement.
Instructions
Develop a 4–5 page patient-centered needs assessment to demonstrate how to leverage health care technology to improve patient engagement and outcomes for a specific patient population. This could focus on a disease or a disorder based on the best available evidence that has been individualized to treat your patient’s health, economic, and cultural needs.

The CDC and Healthy People 2030 continue to educate on the importance of improved ease of access and insurance coverage for screenings and vaccinations. It is the responsibility of nurses to engage our aging adults in self-advocating for services that benefit individual and community health. How can you, as a registered nurse, impact older adults to encourage routine vaccination? What impact does this have on the community as a whole?

In the files I have attached are all the instructions on how the work should be prepared. I want the subject to be atrial fibrillation in a patient with a history of hypertension, the assignment is Level 7 and the course is the Physical assessment course at King’s College University. It is assumed that I have seen and examined this patient before (part of another work) and from his entire history it appears that he only has hypertension for years. In case the words don’t come out for you and you want to add something above, eg palpitations or chest discomfort to the clinical picture, that’s ok, I leave it up to you.
