Advanced Disease Management/ Integrated Disease Management
Assignment- Project Proposal
Consider a chronic illness that is commonly seen in your service. Using the guide provided critically examine the service offered. Consider in your discussion the engagement of services within a multidisciplinary health care team to include an integrated community and acute care service. Identify the service gaps within the system and provide recommend ways to overcome them.

2. Discusses reasons for choice
3. Describes the epidemiology of the disease in context to location.
4. Outlines the aims and objectives of the review.
2- Literature review
1. Discusses best practice in integrated and ongoing care for the disease process identified.
2. Identifies linkages between community participation and health care service delivery.
3- Methods
1. Identifies services involved
2. Articulates methods used in collecting data e.g. process map, survey, observation
3. Shows evidence of team involvement and collaboration
4- Analysis of findings
1. Findings are clearly and objectively articulated.
2. Critically examines the findings with reference to best practice on managing the disease process within an integrated care framework.

12. Procedures for evaluation are included.
6- critical thinking that is evidenced throughout assignment
1. Seeks to understand concepts by examining openly own experiences in the past as they relate to the topic, to illustrate points
2. In-depth synthesis of thoughtfully selected aspects of experiences related to the topic.
3. Makes clear connections between what is learned from outside experiences and the topic
4. In addition to explaining how/why/which methods are typically used, also describes embedded methods and possible alternative methods of working on the problem.
5. Not only formulates a clear and precise personal point of view, but also acknowledges objections and rival positions and provides convincing replies to these.
