Information Literacy

[WLOs: 3, 4] [CLOs: 3, 4]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the Research Guides and Tutorials under the Getting Research help tabs in the University of Arizona Global Campus Library.

Prepare: Knowing how to thoroughly research a topic is extremely important while achieving your education. You may be asked to support your information with peer-reviewed scholarly resources, but how can you find this type of resource? The University of Arizona Global Campus Library allows you to search through different avenues to find the requested types of resources. You can narrow your search by the author, year published, title, subject, and by indicating what type of resource you are looking for. You even have access to a librarian if you need some guidance in finding more resources on your topic.

Reflect: Given that you have been in college for awhile, it’s time to reflect on what you have learned through the use of the University of Arizona Global Campus Library in relation to how you learned to acquire new information from a variety of sources.

Write: This week, you will take the Threshold Achievement Test for Information Literacy (TATIL)Links to an external site.. This test is not graded, and your results are anonymous. The TATIL assesses students’ ability to recall and apply their knowledge and their metacognition about core information literacy dispositions that underly their behaviors.

Scenario

As the director of the Quality Improvement department for a large trauma center, I believe that purchasing a full-scale simulation room would be a valuable investment in reducing reinfection rates. The simulation room would be equipped with the latest tools and simulations for wound management, sterile surgical processes, infection control, and line placements.

Financial analysis

To determine the feasibility of purchasing the simulation room, we need to conduct a cost-benefit analysis. This analysis will involve calculating the costs of purchasing and maintaining the simulation room versus the potential cost savings from reducing reinfection rates.

If you think the value of an investment will be worth 10% of what it will be in 5 years, you can use these formulas to figure out how much money you will have to save each month to have enough money when the investment is actually worth.

FV = PV × ( 1+1 )n

= 500,000 × ( 1.1 )5

=805,255

The return on investment may be calculated over 5 years with an interest rate of 10% will be.

If you take cash out of a bank account over time, sometimes the money will come back as a negative number because it’s worth less now than when you took it out. But this isn’t always the case. Sometimes the cash comes back as a positive number because it’s worth more now than when you took it out.

If we look at the calculation results, we can see that it would be better to reject the project because the estimated interest for the current values would be paid if we invested it differently, at a rate of 10% over the next 5 years. This is higher than the net present value of the project investment.

Stakeholders:

To ensure the success of this project, we need to involve key stakeholders, including patients, doctors, administrators, infectious control team, quality team, and supplies. It is important to get their input and buy-in to the project to ensure that it meets their needs and expectations.(Huang X, 2018).

Implementation plan:

To succeed in getting the simulation room purchased, we need to develop a comprehensive process that includes a business plan, approval purchase, building the simulation room, and staffing it with trained personnel. The business plan should outline the financial and operational benefits of the simulation room and how it aligns with the trauma center’s goals and objectives. The approval purchase process should involve presenting the business plan to the relevant decision-makers and obtaining their approval. Once the purchase is approved, we can move forward with building the simulation room and staffing it with trained personnel. We should also develop an implementation plan that includes training programs for staff and regular evaluations to ensure that the simulation room is being used effectively.(Huang X, 2018).

This is was question

You are a director of the quality improvement department for a large trauma center. For your department, you feel there is a need to purchase a full-scale simulation room. This simulation room would be outfitted with the latest tools and simulations for wound management, sterile surgical process, infection control, and line placements. The overall goal would be to decrease reinfection rates. The capital need for the simulation center is $500,000, producing a decrease in cost for reinfection rates of $120,000 per year.

Assessment

This Competency Assessment assesses the following outcome(s):

SS290M1-1: Identify the concept of data literacy.

In this assessment, you will create an annotated bibliography: a list of sources with descriptive or evaluative text following each full citation. An annotated bibliography is helpful in evaluating a number of sources and keeping track of how each source is applies to the task at hand. For example, if you are writing a paper for an assignment that contains multiple subtopics, you can note the subtopic in an annotated bibliography, and that will enable you to search through sources and quickly identify the ones you need for each part of your paper.

Review Writing an Annotated Bibliography, which provides information about annotated bibliographies from the PG Writing Center.

For this assessment, you will locate and annotate five sources according to the following directions:

Locate five academic sources in the Purdue Global Library. If you have another class with an assignment that requires you to find sources, you can use this activity to do just that.

For each article, you must include (this can be a bulleted or numbered list):

  1. The full APA reference for each article.
  2. What institution (company, government, university, etc.) supports this information?
  3. The author’s names and credentials (for example, the degree earned and/or school/agency represented by each author).
  4. The audience for the source.
  5. Are all sources cited in the article clearly listed in a bibliography or reference list?
  6. Are the topics in the article addressed with clearly presented arguments and adequate support? Show one example.
  7. Why should anyone believe information from this source?

The write-up:

Begin with a four- to five-sentence paragraph that identifies and defines the elements of data literacy and how they can help to assess academic sources.

List five academic sources and answer the above questions for each individual source.
