Applied Practice Experience Work Plan: Three Deliverables for the Kessler County Rabies Prevention Program, Each With a Receiver, a Week and a Condition for Done

Scope

This plan sets out what I will hand the rabies program by the end of my placement. It is organized around three deliverables, each a finished object that someone at the site will receive. Activities appear only where they produce a deliverable, and none is listed for its own sake. The plan names who receives each product, the week it is due and the condition under which it counts as done, and it ties each deliverable to the competencies selected in my self-assessment.

Deliverables

Note. Note. Week numbers count from the start of the applied practice experience.

How Each Deliverable Is Produced

Deliverable 1 is produced by exporting the program's spreadsheet, writing one cleaning rule at a time and recording each rule in the log: for example, duplicate reports for the same person and animal within 48 hours are merged, and free-text species names are coded to a fixed list. The manager reviews the log at the end of week 2.

Deliverable 2 is produced by drafting the protocol from the national recommendations on postexposure prophylaxis (Rupprecht et al., 2010) and the state's rabies guidance, testing the draft with the technician on 10 past calls, then taking it to the emergency department's nurse educator and an attending physician for comment in week 5. The revised version goes to the health officer in week 6.

Deliverable 3 is produced from the clean data set: rates per 100,000 by species and month, the share of biting animals with documented vaccination and a comparison of summer and winter demand. The manager reviews a draft in week 7.

Access as a Resource

The plan depends on access that the site controls. I need read access to the bite spreadsheet, which the manager has granted under the county's data use rules, with names and addresses removed before export. I need 30 minutes with the emergency department's nurse educator and an attending physician, which the manager will request. And I need the health officer's review time in week 6, which the manager has placed on the officer's calendar. If any access is delayed by more than a week, the affected deliverable's due date slides back to match, and I will record the change in my weekly note to my faculty advisor.

Risks

The main risk is that the health officer requests substantial changes to the protocol, which would push its approval past week 8. In that case the deliverable counts as done when the revised version is submitted with the officer's written changes addressed, and the approval will be noted as pending in my final portfolio.

Signatures Sit Outside

The site's agreement, my preceptor's evaluation and any record of hours are separate program documents completed by the site and the program. They are not part of this work plan or of what I submit for grading.
