Meeting Topic

The initial practicum planning session with Dr. David Harrow emphasized exploring approaches to mental health care within the Longevity Center. The conversation revolved around identifying challenges in patient mental wellness, exploring current service gaps, and planning interventions that could contribute to improved patient well-being.

Practicum Goals

The following goals were established to guide the practicum experience:

1. Assessment of Needs – Conduct a thorough evaluation of patient mental wellness needs through interviews, direct observation, and data analysis within the Longevity Center.
2. Implementation of Interventions – Introduce and integrate at least one evidence-based strategy (e.g., mindfulness practices, coping skills workshops, stress-reduction sessions) designed to enhance the overall mental well-being of patients.
3. Evaluation and Recommendations – Analyze the effectiveness of implemented strategies, summarize findings, and develop recommendations for long-term sustainability and integration into patient care services.

Notes from Meeting

• A holistic approach to mental health is crucial for the diverse patient population at the center.
• Collaboration with interdisciplinary professionals, such as nurses, counselors, and nutritionists, will strengthen patient outcomes.
• The Longevity Center currently lacks a formalized mental wellness program, creating opportunities for innovation and structured development.

Practicum Schedule

The practicum schedule is outlined below:

Action Items:

• Submit finalized practicum schedule and goals to the faculty advisor for approval.
• Begin developing the mental wellness intervention plan to present during the next meeting with Dr. Harrow.

Notes:

• Documentation will be maintained weekly and stored securely in compliance with HIPAA and institutional requirements.
• Tools such as weekly logs, reflective journals, and progress reports will be used to track progress.
• Dr. Harrow will review and co-sign weekly summaries and approve materials intended for public use.

Action Items:

• Weekly reflections and required evaluations (midterm and final) should be submitted on time.

Summary

The initial conference call created a structured roadmap for the practicum experience, focusing on mental wellness at the Longevity Center. Under the guidance of Dr. Harrow, the practicum will identify existing service gaps, integrate evidence-based interventions, and evaluate their effectiveness. Immediate next steps involve finalizing the practicum schedule, setting up documentation processes, and initiating planning for the selected intervention.

This practicum experience will enhance the learner’s practical skills in developing mental wellness programs within a community-based setting. Furthermore, it will support essential BSN competencies such as patient-centered care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and quality improvement. The emphasis on sustainable practices ensures that improvements made during the practicum can benefit the Longevity Center beyond the learner’s engagement.
