NSG - 605 DNP Capstone

The DNP Capstone Project provides students with a faculty guided experience in the application of advanced clinical practice and systems level knowledge and skill in a practice setting . The capstone experience is directed at the completion of a significant project that impacts at least one of the Institute of Medicine’s six aims: health care safety, effectiveness, patient-centeredness, timeliness, efficiency or equity. The project represents a synthesis of knowledge gained in all previous coursework and involves development, implementation, and evaluation of a process for change in health care delivery for individuals, groups, or populations. The project should be of such a nature that it serves as a foundation for future scholarship. The student’s chosen program of study will inform the level of practice change for the project. This course is taken during the term students intend to do their public presentation. Prerequisite: DNP Project Planning III Credit Hours: (3)
