Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of published evidence that might inform practice

 Evidence Based Decision Making

Assignment Part 1 (60%) 1500 words

Students are required to identify a question of interest in health or social care. They are required to design and plan a project which will allow them to answer this question, considering appropriate methodology and ethical issues.

The following elements should be included within the project plan:

  • A clearly focused research question or aim
  • A background section which clearly identifies and provides context to the subject of the project
  • A clear summary of the published literature, in which its strengths and weaknesses are discussed (critically appraised)
  • A project plan which is clearly synthesised and is appropriate to the aim
  • Clear and appropriate consideration of methodological approach and design (including ethical considerations)
  • A clear structure and appropriate referencing

A project plan consists of several specific sections. For this assignment, it is recommended that you follow the structure detailed below.

All word counts are approximate and serve as a guide, rather than a requirement. As project plans can be very different depending on the type of project being proposed it is important that you do what suits your particular project however you must ensure that you meet the learning outcomes associated with this assessment..

Project research question or aim (50 words)

This is one or more sentences detailing what your research intends to find out. You may find it useful to look at existing research papers to see what aims they have.

These sections will address LO 1 “Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of published evidence that might inform practice”

Background (200 words)

In this section you should explain why this project is important. What is the problem that you would be able to solve by doing this project? You should also put the project/problem into context, for example how many people are affected by this problem and what is the impact on those people? You might want to mention what global national or local guidance(e.g.the NHS) says about the topic you want to find out about. Include relevant references.

Literature review (500words)

In this section you should provide an overview about what is already known about the topic from the literature. Rather than just describing the studies, critically appraise them, what are their strengths and weaknesses? Given their strengths and weaknesses what can you infer from the study. You might want to use one of the tools from CASP to help guide your critical appraisal (see lecture & seminar notes). We recommend here that you focus on a small number of around 1-3  papers.

(You can combine the background and literature review sections if you feel this works better for your particular question)

Project plan (750 words)

These sections will address LO2 “Explore the stages involved in the design and planning of a project in health or social care, including consideration of ethical concerns, selecting and justifying an appropriate approach and process”

Methodological Approach

You should indicate the methodological approach that you propose to answer your project research question e.g. literature review, qualitative or quantitative study and justify your reasons for this. Your plan should be clearly linked to the aim, make sure that the project that you are suggesting will allow you to answer your research question.

Methodology

You should clearly explain how you plan to collect data. For example if you are proposing to do a literature review, you must describe your search strategy. You need to demonstrate that the search strategy will direct you to suitable research publications, and it should be given in enough detail that another person would be able to follow your plans and find exactly the same articles. So you will need to describe: key words, databases, inclusion/ exclusion criteria and give reasons for these.

If you are proposing to conduct primary research, again you must give enough detail that another person would be able to conduct the study in exactly the same way as you. You must clearly indicate the study participants (how many, what age/characteristics will they be? E.g. 10 male UoP students, age 18-35, inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as details of how and where they will be recruited. Describe exactly what will happen to the participants. For example, if they will complete a questionnaire, will this be online or pen and paper? How many questions will there be, what will the questions ask? Describe what data you will collect and how you will use this to answer the research question. You may want to use different headings to  make this section clearer e.g. participants, materials (e.g. details about the questionnaire), procedure (exactly what will happen to the participants and in what order).

Ethical Issues

For all research questions you should consider what ethical issues might arise and how you will deal with these.

Prepare an 8-10 minute audio training tutorial (video is optional) for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators.

Prepare an 8-10 minute audio training tutorial (video is optional) for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators.

As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the Conabedian Quality Assessment Framework activity. Quality healthcare delivery requires systematic action. Completion of this will help you succeed with the assessment as you consider how the triad of structure (such as the hospital, clinic, provider qualifications/organizational characteristics) and process (such as the delivery/coordination/education/protocols/practice style or standard of care) may be modified to achieve quality outcomes.

The American Nursing Association (ANA) established the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI®) in 1998 to track and report on quality indicators heavily influenced by nursing action.

NDNQI® was established as a standardized approach to evaluating nursing performance in relation to patient outcomes. It provides a database and quality measurement program to track clinical performance and to compare nursing quality measures against other hospital data at the national, regional, and state levels. Nursing-sensitive quality indicators help establish evidence-based practice guidelines in the inpatient and outpatient settings to enhance quality care outcomes and initiate quality improvement educational programs, outreach, and protocol development.

The quality indicators the NDNQI® monitors are organized into three categories: structure, process, and outcome. Theorist Avedis Donabedian first identified these categories. Donabedian’s theory of quality health care focused on the links between quality outcomes and the structures and processes of care (Grove, Gray, Jay, Jay, & Burns, 2015).

Nurses must be knowledgeable about the indicators their workplaces monitor. Some nurses deliver direct patient care that leads to a monitored outcome. Other nurses may be involved in data collection and analysis. In addition, monitoring organizations, including managed care entities, exist to gather data from individual organizations to analyze overall industry quality. All of these roles are important to advance quality and safety outcomes.

The focus of Assessment 4 is on how informatics support monitoring of nursing-sensitive quality indicator data. You will develop an 8–10 minute audio (or video) training module to orient new nurses in a workplace to a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator critical to the organization. Your recording will address how data are collected and disseminated across the organization along with the nurses’ role in supporting accurate reporting and high quality results.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
***PLEASE FOLLOW RUBRIC FOR HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE***PLEASE USE ATTACHMENTS TO HELP WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT. DO NOT USE ABSTRACT***
Per professor: In reviewing previous PICOT Statement Paper assignments, I’ve noticed many students use time frames greater than 6 months, often one year or more. I advise students to keep a time at 30 days and no more than 90 days. The reason I advise students on this short time frame is; when arguing to make an evidence-based change in current practice at your organization, you want to bring your findings to the key stakeholders in a timely manner for the change process to be put into place. When the time-frame of your research is 6 months or a year out, the key stakeholders you intended to persuade may leave the organization or retire. After the change is made, then you can keep data on how the new evidence-based practice is doing and bring this evidence to current stakeholders at one year.

Evaluate the impact of patient care technologies on desired outcomes.

Write a 4-6 page annotated bibliography where you identify peer-reviewed publications that promote the use of a selected technology to enhance quality and safety standards in nursing.

Before you begin to develop the assessment you are encouraged to complete the Annotated Bibliography Formative Assessment. Completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment and counts towards course engagement.

Rapid changes in information technology go hand-in-hand with progress in quality health care delivery, nursing practice, and interdisciplinary team collaboration. The following are only a few examples of how the health care field uses technology to provide care to patients across multiple settings:

Patient monitoring devices.
Robotics.
Electronic medical records.
Data management resources.
Ready access to current science.
Technology is essential to the advancement of the nursing profession, maintaining quality care outcomes, patient safety, and research.

This assessment will give you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of how technology can enhance quality and safety standards in nursing. You will prepare an annotated bibliography on technology in nursing. A well-prepared annotated bibliography is a comprehensive commentary on the content of scholarly publications and other sources of evidence about a selected nursing-related technology. A bibliography of this type provides a vehicle for workplace discussion to address gaps in nursing practice and to improve patient care outcomes. As nurses become more accountable in their practice, they are being called upon to expand their role of caregiver and advocate to include fostering research and scholarship to advance nursing practice. An annotated bibliography stimulates innovative thinking to find solutions and approaches to effectively and efficiently address these issues.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:

Competency 3: Evaluate the impact of patient care technologies on desired outcomes.
Analyze current evidence on the impact of a selected patient care technology on patient safety, quality of care, and the interdisciplinary team.
Integrate current evidence about the impact of a selected patient care technology on patient safety, quality of care, and the interdisciplinary team into a recommendation.
Competency 4: Recommend the use of a technology to enhance quality and safety standards for patients.
Describe organizational factors influencing the selection of a technology in the health care setting.
Justify the implementation and use of a selected technology in a health care setting.
Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication to facilitate use of health information and patient care technologies.
Create a clear, well-organized, and professional annotated bibliography that is generally free from errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Follow APA style and formatting guidelines for all bibliographic entries.
Preparation

To successfully complete this assessment, perform the following preparatory activities:

Select a single direct or indirect patient care technology that is relevant to your current practice or that is of interest to you. Direct patient care technologies require an interaction, or direct contact, between the nurse and patient. Nurses use direct patient care technologies every day when delivering care to patients. Electronic thermometers or pulse oximeters are examples of direct patient care technologies. Indirect patient care technologies, on the other hand, are those employed on behalf of the patient. They do not require interaction, or direct contact, between the nurse and patient. A handheld device for patient documentation is an example of an indirect patient care technology. Examples of topics to consider for your annotated bibliography include:
Delivery robots.
Electronic medication administration with barcoding.
Electronic clinical documentation with clinical decision support.
Patient sensor devices/wireless communication solutions.
Real-time location systems.
Telehealth.
Workflow management systems.
Conduct a library search using the various electronic databases available through the Capella University Library.
Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide for help in identifying scholarly and/or authoritative sources.
Access the NHS Learner Success Lab, linked in the courseroom navigation menu, for additional resources.
Scan the search results related to your chosen technology.
Select four peer-reviewed publications focused on your selected topic that are the most interesting to you.
Evaluate the impact of patient care technologies on desired outcomes.
Analyze current evidence on the impact of a selected patient care technology on patient safety, quality of care, and the interdisciplinary team.
Integrate current evidence about the impact of a selected patient care technology on patient safety, quality of care, and the interdisciplinary team into a recommendation.
