The Development of a Population-Focused Care Program
This assignment will help you explore the programmatic and fiscal development of both inpatient and outpatient programs for diabetics. As a nursing leader, you have been asked to describe the fiscal and resource utilization issues in the development of a comprehensive inpatient and outpatient program for diabetics. Write a 4- to 5-page paper that addresses the following questions:
- What are the proposed components and the fiscal and resource utilization issues?
- With healthcare reforms, why are healthcare facilities being driven to create disease management–specific programs, for example, programs specific to diabetes?
- What are the components of a disease-specific program?
- What is the fiscal advantage of a comprehensive case management program?
- What are the components of the specific disease case management program?
- What are the fiscal and resource utilization decisions to be made in the implementation of comprehensive and specific disease case management programs?
Your Week 2 Project asks you to explore program development of an inpatient/outpatient program for diabetics. Please carefully review the project instructions and grading rubric and develop topic headings that follow the rubric. Remember, you are writing a scholarly narrative not completing a question-and-answer response paper.

Note: There will be a 10-point deduction for not including the above topic headings in your Content Section of your project assignment. This is an APA requirement for DNP Projects so it is important that you practice in preparation for your future project work.
It is important to proofread your paper for appropriate grammar and sentence construction. In addition, you should be checking your Turnitin Similarity Report and addressing any identified issues. As nursing leaders, professional writing, and ability to communicate effectively through writing is a critical competency.
