NURS FPX 4900 Assessment 3 Assessing the Problem: Technology, Care Coordination, and Community Resources Considerations

In conclusion, this analysis of the multidimensional impacts of Alzheimer’s disease highlights the crucial roles of technology integration, care coordination, and community partnerships in addressing patient, family, and population needs. While innovative technologies offer advantages like enhanced safety and quality of life, considerations around equitable access, usability, costs, and ethical application are paramount. Robust care coordination strategies and mobilizing local resources can reduce fragmentation and provide holistic support, though potential barriers warrant awareness. Overall, the nuanced application of technology and collaborative care aligned with evidence-based practices, professional standards, organizational policies, and ethical principles allows nurses to optimize outcomes for those affected by Alzheimer’s. This patient-centered approach integrating emerging solutions with practical support can make a meaningful difference for patients like Clay and the growing population living with dementia.
