EVIDENCE-BASED PROJECT, PART 3: CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF RESEARCH

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 3A: Critical Appraisal of Research

Conduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected by completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template. Choose a total of four peer- reviewed articles that you selected related to your clinical topic of interest in Module 2 and Module 3.

Note: You can choose any combination of articles from Modules 2 and 3 for your Critical Appraisal. For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented.

Part 3B: Critical Appraisal of Research

Based on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research.

The strength finder assessment I took is an eye opener to my strengths and weaknesses. It also showed me where to exert some effort and how to do it. The findings followed this order.

1. Achieving Person: Achiever means someone who is always looking to do better. This theme helps me understand what my drive is. I am always looking to get things done better and more manageable. 

2. Consistency: I care about balance. It is essential to treat everyone the same, no matter their situation, not wanting the scales to tip too far in favor of one person because that sends wrong signals to the team.  

 3. Gathering Information: I think critically and make out opinions of things and people. I might be trying to solve a problem, develop an idea, or understand how someone else feels. 

 4. Harmony/ Teamwork: I want people to have a common ground for achieving goals. There is little to gain from disagreement and chaos. When I know that the people around me have different ideas, finding common ground always breaks the ice and ensures we achieve common goals.

5. Relator/Relationship: The Relator theme makes me want to be with people I already know. Meeting new people might be challenging, but it is worth trying to achieve a common goal.

      The two central values that I would strengthen are optimism and creativity. There are times when I need more confidence concerning some situations. As for creativity, I do have various concepts that I can implement. Nurses are known for their emotional intelligence and critical thinking, which might affect their effectiveness. These attributes may affect clinical decision-making, reasoning, evidence-based practice, and practice-based knowledge in nursing. (Kaya et al. 2018) 

     The two strengths that I would make sturdier is self-confidence because, many times, self-doubt places a trick on me, especially when I am not sure about an issue. I will also work on building relationships because making new associates has advantages. 

       Two qualities must be improved upon: patience with my associates when handling issues. And delegating. Being a perfectionist makes me want to do everything myself to get the desired outcome. I need to harmonize these findings to achieve the best out of my strengths and weaknesses.

Assignment: Articulate the Development of Quality Models and Associated Theoretical Frameworks

Using your reading assignments in your textbook as a starting point, you will conduct additional research on the early aspects of quality assessment, improvement, and management. Your Research Report must include an
introduction, body of discussion, and a summary. You will discuss the following quality models in-depth and the experts responsible for developing the models and frameworks for quality improvement and management. 

1. PDSA Cycle

2. Total Quality Management model

3. Lean Six Sigma model

4. Toyota Production System Lean Manufacturing

5. Donabedian Quality Framework 

In your summary paragraph, you will discuss the connection between the development of the Donabedian Quality Framework and its application in healthcare quality measurement.

In addition to your narrative, you will create a table that contains a timeline in chronological order for the introduction of the quality models you discussed in your research paper. Your table will be an
appendix to your research report and the entries will include the name of the quality model, the year it was introduced, and its purpose. The purpose will be a synopsis from your findings and may be presented using bullet points. Be sure to follow APA standards for the use of appendices.

Here is an example of the table. Add rows to complete your timeline. Download the table from your Weekly Resources.

D.Saa Cultural Wk 1

After completing the cultural assessment evaluation for self-reflection, share the results with your classmates. How did you rate based on the scoring system?  Is there any room for improvement? There is nothing to be shy about if your score was not optimal. 

  • In your own words, how do you define culture? 
  • What strategies do you plan to implement to enhance your cultural understanding? 
  • Do you have any thoughts on the social determinants of health?

I HAVE ATTACHED THE ASSESSMENT EVAL FORM I COMPLETED WITH THE SCORE, PLEASE USE THAT TO ANSWER THE POST ABOVE.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE?

March 21, 2010, was not EBP’s date of birth, but it may be the date the approach “grew up” and left home to take on the world.

When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP.

You will consider this adoption in the post. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of EBP.
  • Choose a professional healthcare organization’s website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative).
  • Explore the website to determine where and to what extent EBP is evident.

  • Write a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organization’s work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organization’s website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples. Reference 3 scholarly citations 

Introduction to Statistics

It has long been a requirement for health care workers to take an Introduction to Statistics class. Why is it important for a person working in health care to understand statistical concepts? To answer this question, please provide two specific examples incorporating two different statistical terms from “Visual Learner Statistics,” located in the Topic 1 Resources. Do not use the same examples as those in a prior post. You may reference other articles in this topic or conduct your own scholarly research if more statistical terms are needed.

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format. Responses to peers or faculty should be 100-150 words and include one reference. Refer to “HLT-362V Discussion Question Rubric” and “HLT-362V Participation Rubric,” located in Class Resources, to understand the expectations for initial discussion question posts and participation posts, respectively.
