Internet searching, evaluating websites

Overview
This week, we are learning how to critically evaluate information on the Internet to distinguish the good from the bad. In this assignment, you will put those skills to work. (USLO 6.3)

Instructions
For this assignment, you’ll do three things.

• First, investigate each of the resources below. Then, use the CRAAP Test to evaluate the validity of each source for academic research.

  •  “Outbreak of Lung Injury Associated with the Use of e-Cigarette, or Vaping, Products”
  •  “How Bad is Vaping for You? Here’s What You Need to Know”
  •  “Vaping vs. Smoking: Is Vaping Bad for You, Too?”

• In a Word document, write an APA citation for each of the three articles. Then, beneath each citation, write a brief paragraph that answers the following questions:

  • Write an APA citation for the webpage you investigated at the top of the page.
  • What did the site score on the CRAAP test?
  • Would you use it for your research?
  • Why or why not?
  • What was problematic about it (or, on the other hand, what made you think this would be a good site)?

To be clear, you’ll have three citations, each with an accompanying paragraph, for a total of three citations and three paragraphs.

• Your entire document should be formatted in 12-point, Times New Roman font with 1″ margins and double-spaced lines. Each paragraph should be at least 100 words in length (and this will be a combination of all of the answers per source).

Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA)

http://www.ihi.org/resources/Pages/Tools/FailureModesandEffectsAnalysisTool.aspx

Identify a breakdown or imminent breakdown in clinical practice-

Review the class resources for examples that may apply to current practice and describe a high risk situation or risk for error in a case study format.
Identify the type, frequency and repetition of the problem as you can best determine from the literature.
You can use the same topic as your formal paper if that works for you – no need to recreate the wheel

Complete a Failure Mode Effect Analysis-

Use the IHI template
video in assignment to view
Only pick 3-5 processes/sub-processes on the tool
there could be endless processes/sub-processes – only pick 3-5
best educated guess on Likelihood of occurrence, likelihood of detection and severity
calculate RPN – focus on Failure modes with higher RPNs
Highlight highest RPN in PowerPoint – list interventions
Presentation-

1. Develop a power point presentation (about 8-10 slides max – including title and reference)

why are you focusing on this?
why is this relevant?
cite sources to explain why it is relevant
In the assignment – there is a Sample PowerPoint, Sample IHI (remember you only need 3-5) and also a video to help with the IHI tool.
Failure Modes Effect Analysis (FMEA) Presentation
Purpose: The project will give the student, the opportunity to reflect on examining human factors and other theories of error and also to actively participate in analyzing prior and high-risk situation and designing systems improvement. Students learn to value standardization and reliability as a safety strategy, value the impact of error on patient, families and health care professionals.

The student will complete a Power-Point presentation based on the following objectives:

Examine the safety related literature and web sites.
Examine The Joint Commission’s current Patient Safety Goals and AHRQ’s Patient Safety Indicators.
Develop a working knowledge of the safety indicators.
Analyze the identified issue using the FMEA process for implementation of the current work environment.
Reflect on their learning.

Components of the project and grading criteria:
Identify a breakdown or imminent breakdown in clinical practice – 25 points
Review the class resources for examples that may apply to current practice and describe a high risk situation or risk for error in a case study format.
Identify the type, frequency and repetition of the problem as you can best determine from the literature.
Complete a Failure Mode Effect Analysis – 50 points
Use the IHI template (see below)
Only pick 3-5 processes/sub-processes on the tool
Attach (in a seperate document) completed FMEA to your assignment
Presentation – 25 points
Develop a power point presentation (about 8-10 slides max)
Include reflection on the project including:
What were the patterns discovered?
Under what conditions is it likely that the changing the conditions identified would prevent an actual error from occurring?
highlight in presentation the highest RPN
What error prevention strategies may be applicable for the situations described in order to be successful in risk reduction
Include a slide with 3 selected references or other web links in addition to the IHI

Methods to Reduce Error and Improve Quality

What have you learned about medication safety-in all health care settings? What actions do you personally take or are being used in your organization to improve medication safety? What one thing, if you make it happen, would make the biggest impact in your clinical setting to improve safety? (think beyond just actions and equipment-use the ideas in the readings to help you “take a deep dive” about this topic.)

Describe your role as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse supervising clinical staff nurses with regard to communication and collaboration in locating evidence for application to a nursing practice scenario.

Instructions
The purpose of this assessment is to understand where to find evidence that can be applied to clinical scenarios and to learn effective communication and collaboration with clinical staff during the process of evidence location. As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will not only use research for self-improvement in your clinical role, but you will also serve as a mentor to supervised nursing staff. Therefore, you will need to be able to communicate and collaborate effectively to guide them toward resources to find research, as well as support them through the initial evidence location process. In doing so, nurses can gain access to evidence that can be analyzed and utilized to stay current on best practices. This allows them to provide safe, patient-centered care and improve patient outcomes.

For this assessment:

Describe your role as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse supervising clinical staff nurses with regard to communication and collaboration in locating evidence for application to a nursing practice scenario.
Compile a list of five online databases or other online sources (that is, websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, et cetera) that can be used to research evidence to apply to this scenario or clinical practice issue/diagnosis and describe to which of these you would direct a nurse colleague to search for evidence.
Describe where you might go in the work place to complete this research and how you would access the desired, relevant research within research databases or other online sources.
Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.

Describe communication strategies to encourage nurses to research the diagnosis/practice issue, as well as strategies to collaborate with the nurses to access resources.
Describe the best places to complete research and what types of resources you would want to access to find pertinent information for the diagnosis/health care issue within the context of a specific health care setting.
Identify five sources of online information (medical journal databases, websites, hospital policy databases, et cetera) that could be used to locate evidence for a clinical diagnosis/practice issue.
Explain why the sources of online information selected should provide the best evidence for the chosen diagnosis/health care issue.
Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.

Note: While you are not selecting and evaluating specific evidence to help with the clinical diagnosis/practice issue, you should still be citing the literature and best practices to support your description of your communication and collaboration approach. Additionally, it is appropriate to cite best practices related to EBP and evaluating databases to support your explanation as to why you selected the five sources of online information that you did.
