Hospital-acquired condition- Air Embolisms

Instructions
For this assessment it is suggested that you build upon the work that you did in the Research Problem and Purpose Statements assessment.

The assessment has two distinct parts:

Part 1: Qualitative Research Question
Relevant Scoring Guide Criteria:

Formulate a qualitative research question.
Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with expectations for health care professionals.
For this section, you will formulate a research question that is appropriate for a research project that will use qualitative methodologies. Remember the HAC that you used in your Research Problem and Purpose Statements assessment for this course. Your research question should align to the problem and purpose statements that you developed in this assessment. A well-written research question should be a single statement.

When examining or creating qualitative research questions, the following checklist may be useful:

Qualitative Research Question Checklist

Does the purpose statement fit logically with the problem statement? Are there similar words, or does it seem to address a different topic?
Do the research questions align with the method and design of the study? For instance, are words like perception used that would automatically reject a quantitative study?
Do questions seek to describe responses to the variables described in the study?
Do the questions begin with the word why?
Do the questions focus on a single phenomenon?
Do the questions include exploratory verbs?
Is the language nondirectional?
Are the questions open ended?
Do the questions specify the participants and research site?

Part 2: Qualitative Methods and Data Collection
Relevant Scoring Guide Criteria:

Identify relevant qualitative methodologies that will support answering a research question.
Describe qualitative data collection tools or strategies that are appropriate for answering research questions.
Explain the importance of methodologically relevant data collection to a research plan as a whole.
Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with expectations for health care professionals.
For this section, you will draw upon your readings about qualitative methods and data collection to first identify specific qualitative methodologies that will enable you to answer your research question. You will also discuss specific qualitative data collection tools or strategies that are appropriate for answering your research questions. Questions to consider when looking for tools and strategies and tools include:

What is your research question specifically trying to answer?
How does the specific HAC impact the types of tools and strategies that would work best?
How does the health care setting that the research project will be occurring in impact the types of tools and strategies that would work best?
Lastly, this section should include a review of why it is important to a potential research plan as a whole to ensure that your data collection plan is relevant to your chosen methodology.

This section should be two to five pages in length, depending on the level of detail required to fully present your methodologies and data collection tools and strategies.

– Risk Assessment Project, Part 3 of 5

Now that you have completed the Cause and Effect and 5 Whys portion of the Risk Assessment project, it is time to complete the portion of the Risk Asssessment, called, the Flowchart. In the flowchart, you are going to map out the process for a solution to the issues you have identified from the Norton case. You identified the issues in your previous two assignments, so now you need to demonstrate the workflow that could have prevented the death of the patient. You needs to include AT LEAST FIVE Steps and decisions in your flowchart.

You will start your analysis by graphically describing the solution using a process map or flow diagram. The process map or flow diagram (flowchart) visually depicts the process solution in sequential steps as an aid to analyzing the solution. If the solution is very complex, select one portion of the solution for this exercise. In the next module, once the steps are sequentially mapped out, you will identify potential failure points with the solution.

How does the adolescent right to privacy balance with the right of parents to manage their adolescent’s behavior until they reach adulthood? Is the right to privacy of adolescents in communicating with others any different from their communications with health care professionals?

How should the information privacy rights of adolescents be assessed?

Are adolescents really that different from adults? Before parents all answer “yes,” consider what would happen if adolescent’s right to privacy was restricted.

How does the adolescent right to privacy balance with the right of parents to manage their adolescent’s behavior until they reach adulthood?

Is the right to privacy of adolescents in communicating with others any different from their communications with health care professionals?

Management and Law Issue: Is denying health care providers reimbursement for costs associated with an adverse medical event that was not preventable and did not result from negligence appropriate?

How could such denials have any bearing on improving patient safety?

Argue the point that providers should not be paid if there are adverse medical events.

This opens wide the possibility for insurers to deny payment for any and all negative outcomes in medicine, thereby possibly placing the financial burden on the patient if all does not go well. Since many medical cases do not have desirable outcomes despite the best efforts of all providers, could such a policy quickly defund the entire medical system? Explain why or why not.

Assume that the reader is unfamiliar with this project and provide a short, concise statement as to what the project’s purpose is. State what your project objectives are. Demonstrate between 5 objectives for this project.
