– Measure of Center ‘Median’: https://lc.gcumedia.com/hlt362v/the-visual-learner/measure-of-center-median.html

– Measure of Center ‘Mode’: https://lc.gcumedia.com/hlt362v/the-visual-learner/measure-of-center-mode.html

Go to the (https://www.random.org/integer-sets/) website, to generate a set of random numbers. Click on the “Get Sets’ link at the bottom left of the page to generate some data. (Note: If you are not able to access the link, you can randomly generate 10 numbers yourself for this calculation.)

Imagine these numbers are the care satisfaction scores from a recent sample of discharged patients. Randomly select one row of numbers to use for the following calculations:

  • What was the mean?
  • What was the median?
  • What was/were the mode/s?
  • Given that the range of data was between 1 and 20, what do these numbers tell you about the overall satisfaction of the patients?
  • If you were reporting these scores back to your supervisor, how would you explain or interpret these satisfaction scores?

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format.

Review the terms Stratified Sampling from “The Visual Learner: Statistics,” (https://lc.gcumedia.com/hlt362v/the-visual-learner/the-visual-learner-v2.1.html).

Use the Stratified Sampling method to answer the following question:

Imagine that you are conducting a patient satisfaction survey at your health care facility. How would the assigned sampling method be applied in this case? What are the strengths and weakness of the assigned sampling method in this scenario?

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format.

Established in 1987, ABC Community Hospital not-for-profit is an acute care hospital located in an east coast Metropolitan area. With a staff of nearly 200 physicians and specialists, 800 employees and 100 volunteers, they offer a full range of healthcare services. They are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. The hospital has been profitable for the last 5 years with a profit margin of 3-4%. The mission of ABC Community Hospital is to provide accessible and comprehensive healthcare services in a convenient and cost-effective manner to the people who live in our community.

At the last Board meeting, hospital administration and the Board of Directors began to discuss a proposal to build a new wing devoted to a Cancer Center and ancillary services devoted to the treatment of cancer.  The new wing would have 30 acute care beds, four surgical operating rooms, intensive care unit and extensive support services, including physical therapy and hospice care. All patient rooms would be private. There is no Cancer Centers within a 200 mile radius of the hospital service area.

Now, the Board of Directors has come back with more questions that they want you to add to the original plan with new content:

  • Compare and contrast the kinds of decisions that are made in the Cancer Center capital investment decision analysis for ABC Community Hospital.
  • What information is needed by the CFO to evaluate the Cancer Center capital investment project? Use the classification of capital expenditures and justification of capital expenditures for this project, and include working capital management. 
  • Who, internally from the healthcare system and externally, should be involved in the capital investment decision process to determine the feasibility of the Cancer Center?

445Literature Evaluation Table

Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” to complete this assignment. Prior to starting the “Literature Evaluation Table,” complete the following:

  1. Review the feedback you have received in the discussion forum related to your PICOT question so far. Make any necessary edits to your PICOT question.
  2. Conduct a literature search to locate four research articles focused on your selected nursing practice problem of interest. Note: This literature search should include two quantitative and two qualitative, peer-reviewed, primary research articles to support your nursing practice problem. A mixed methods article can qualify towards meeting a qualitative or quantitative methodology. The two articles identified in Topic 1 DQ 2 can be used should you still find them relevant to your PICOT question.
