Assessment 2

VCI Summary 9000

Instructions

Conduct a virtual check-in with you, your preceptor, and your mentor to discuss the focus, scope, and progress of your DNP project.

Introduction

Welcome to Assessment 2, where we’re focusing on making connections. Throughout the assessment, we’ll cover essential topics, such as Tips for Stakeholder Connections, Identifying Interventions, and Determining Outcomes, among others. Additionally, you’ll have your first Virtual Check-In with your preceptor and mentor. Let’s dive in and make some connections.

Overview

Virtual Check-Ins (VCIs) are an important part of the development process for your DNP project. They help ensure that you, your site preceptor, and Capella faculty are all on the same page regarding the focus, scope, and progress of your project. VCIs also help ensure the project you propose will be feasible within the context of your site, available resources, and time.

Note: The assessments in this course must be completed in the order presented; subsequent assessments should be built on both your earlier work and your mentor’s feedback on earlier assessments. If you choose to submit assessments prematurely, without considering and integrating your mentor’s feedback, your assessment may be returned ungraded, resulting in your loss of an assessment attempt.

Instructions

For your first VCI, it is required for you, your preceptor, and your mentor to meet face-to-face using a meeting platform. It is your responsibility to coordinate a meeting time that works for all required participants. However, you may ask your mentor to schedule the meeting and provide invitation details. During the VCI, start by thanking everyone for coming, and then move into introductions. The entire VCI should take about 15–30 minutes. Before ending the meeting, check with each participant to ensure all their questions and concerns have been met. At the end of the VCI, you will craft a summary of the discussion and submit it for Assessment 2.

Your assessment will be graded based on the following criteria:

• Provide details of the meeting, including the meeting date and time, length of meeting, and a list of attendees and their roles.
• Summarize the key points of the Virtual Check-In.
