Introduction
Note: The assessments in this course build upon the work you have completed in the previous assessments. Therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
The United States’ evolving diversity brings prospects and challenges for health care providers, health care systems, and policymakers to produce and deliver culturally-competent services for immigrant and refugee populations. For example, improving health outcomes for undocumented immigrant populations present unique and often difficult challenges for care coordinators at all levels. New arrivals in a community bring with them different cultural backgrounds, beliefs, perceptions, and biases that may influence their seeking access to care and exacerbate health disparities. In addition, they may struggle to navigate a complex and sometimes bewildering health care system.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine an undocumented immigrant population of your choice, develop a project plan to address their care coordination needs, and craft an organizational policy addressing care that meets current standards of practice.
Note: Your work in Assessment 1 will inform your work in this assessment. Therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
Preparation
For this assessment, you will assume the role of Director of Care Coordination in the same practice setting you chose for Assessment 1. Within this context, you will develop a project plan to provide health care for an undocumented immigrant or refugee population of your choice. The population may be of local, national, or international interest, but must not have obtained permanent U.S. residency status.
After completing your project plan, you will then compose an organizational policy that addresses care for this group.

Requirements
For this assessment:
1. Develop a project plan to mobilize coordinated care for an undocumented immigrant or refugee population. Use the care coordination project plan you developed in Assessment 1 as a model for your project plan in this assessment. Include, in your plan, whatever information is appropriate for the specific population you have chosen to address.
2. Compose an organizational policy addressing care for this group, informed by your project plan, that meets current standards of practice.
