Evaluation of transgender curriculum in health care
Specifics:
This curriculum aims at evaluating the factors that contribute to transgender health disparities. Usually, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT )individuals face health disparities as a result of societal stigma, discrimination and denial of their rights, making it difficult for them to access quality healthcare. The evaluation process will involve patients from the LGBT community as well as medical staff personnel. The evaluation process will involve answering questions that will make available in a video consultation recordings as well as patient interviews.
Measurable:
Throughout this evaluation process, I am going to measure the percentage of transgender patients who have to persevere through pain and agony because of inability to access quality treatment. Also, we are going to look at the rate of transgender patients that can get effective treatment. Eighty per cent will be our baseline figure for transgender patients who get adequate medical care. If seventy per cent of the patients complain of unfair treatment that affects the quality of their health care when they visit the hospital, that will trigger action by the curriculum committee.
Attainable:
If the evaluation of transgender curriculum in healthcare cannot be enough at the benchmark of eighty per cent, I will have to run the evaluation process all over again, focusing on a large patient population.
Relevance:
The evaluation of transgender curriculum in healthcare will enable students to understand the prevalence and diversity of transgender. It will be able to identify risk factors that contribute to transgender health disparities. The curriculum evaluation method will enable the student nurse will be able to perform an unbiased physical assessment on a patient in the LGBTQ community
Time-bound:
My target date for achieving the benchmark will be three months from the starting date.
