windshield assessment survey


The Windshield Survey  includes  an assessment of eight community subsystems: physical environment,  health and social services, economics, safety and transportation,  politics and government, communication, education, and recreation with  the purpose of identifying the community health nursing role regarding  the needs of the population assessed. Groups will be assigned a  community, or municipality.  

Each group will conduct a virtual walk-through (drive-thru)  assessment of the community, noting evidence of the  strengths/weaknesses/resources (city websites, community health  departments, census data), develop a nursing diagnosis, and propose  community interventions. Your results will be presented in a 20-minute PowerPoint presentation
