  • “Improving Child Health Outcomes Through Early Intervention and Screening for Autism: A Response to Local Pressure Group Campaign”

    Assessment
    Choose one of the topics below and write an essay (length maximum 3,000 words – not including references). 
    1. A local pressure group is campaigning for universal screening for autism in 2 year old children. One of their arguments for this is that early intervention improves outcome for children with autism. You are the local child health lead and the commissioners have asked you how they should respond to this request.
    Or
    2. You are the lead for child health in an organisation serving a disadvantaged population. An opportunity has arisen to bid for a substantial sum of money in a government-funded initiative, to introduce interventions to improve outcomes for children and young people. Choose one specific priority topic (e.g. oral health, obesity, immunisation uptake etc. not general well being or other general topics) of child health which needs to be improved and discuss the rationale for your choice. Describe the evidence for effectiveness of the intervention you have chosen to introduce and how you would evaluate this. (This could be based in either an acute or community setting and in any country of your choice).
    Or
    3. The Global COVID-19 pandemic will undoubtedly have had impacts on the physical and mental health of some children and young people, and on educational and wellbeing outcomes. Using examples, describe some of the impacts we are likely to see. How could we measure these? What interventions/policies, relating to health services could we introduce to alleviate negative impacts? (these could be at country or local level).

  • Title: Scope Document for Implementing PHQ-9 Depression Questionnaire in a Healthcare Setting

    develop the scope document for your practicum project.
    **the project scope is:
    To implement the use of PHQ-9 depression questionnaire compared to current practice to increase identification of depression in 4 months, convert the form into EHR and train the nurses on how to use it.
    Changes in the scope impact the timeline and budget of a project, so it is essential that the proper parameters are identified for the project.

    Create the scope for your practicum project. Include project boundaries, limitations and constraints, timeline, budget, and specific resources required for the project. (limitations – 4 months, budget 1 hour of trainingpsychatric nurses: $4,000, materials: :250)
    Demonstrate consideration and respect for the role of users in the design and application of information systems and technology.
    Evaluate the benefits of implementing the interprofessional collaborative practice model during your project scope development.
    Differentiate the parameters for the project. Provide rationale or evidence to justify the parameters.
    Differentiate what is “in scope” and “out of scope” for the project.
    Propose the high-level deliverables expected from the project. Provide support to justify these as high-level deliverables.
    Develop completion criteria to measure whether project deliverables are acceptable.
    Explain how your project scope demonstrates the advantages and limitations of using information science and technology to solve health informatics problems.
    Explain how the completion criteria will determine the success of the goal of the project. Be sure to include budget and scheduling requirements.
    Explain how your final scope document demonstrates an awareness of the interrelatedness of business, human factors, and information sciences and technology.

  • “Evidence-Based Literature: Search and Organization for an EBP/QI Project on Patient Safety” Title: Investigating a Gap in Healthcare: A Narrative of the Literature Search Process

    Evidenced Based Literature: Search and
    Organization
    Conduct
    research, create a PRISMA diagram, and write a 1-2 page narrative paper to
    describe the review process.
    Collapse All
    Introduction
    How do
    you find the best evidence to answer PICO(T) questions? In EBP, it is essential
    to use your PICO(T) question and its components as the foundation of your
    search for the most relevant, best evidence to answer the question and address
    a health care challenge. Peer reviewed journals contain research studies with
    evidence to:
    1.     
    Support the need to
    improve the health care challenge you have identified in the PICO(T) question.
    2.     
    Substantiate potential
    interventions that will improve the problem you have identified. Make sure the
    identified strategies and interventions are supported by the evidence-based
    literature and other credible sources. The strength of the evidence should be
    from a credible, peer reviewed source and evaluated for merit.
    Use
    the PICO(T) question to conduct a thorough review of the literature. Likewise,
    it is crucial to master your skills using health care databases to conduct the
    search. Also, utilize the Capella library resources.
    This
    assessment is a continuation of the steps of the EBP process. The purpose of
    the next step is to identify information available regarding the patient safety
    issue by obtaining literature to support potential interventions. The
    acquisition of literature starts with the search.
    Scenario
    As we
    have discussed previously, in this course we are focusing on a patient safety
    issue of your choice and working through the six steps of the EBP process. We
    explored the step of “Ask the clinical question” with the first assessment and
    now we will look at the second step “Acquire the best evidence.”
    Keeping
    with the previous scenario and your role as the Director of Clinical Operations
    and Nursing Excellence, it is your responsibility to ensure that the best
    practices and protocols are implanted throughout the medical center. Your
    primary goals are to focus on problems in health care safety and how to solve
    them with evidence-based interventions as a quality improvement (EBP/QI)
    project.
    Instructions
    Conduct
    research, create a PRISMA diagram, and write a 1-2 page narrative paper to
    describe the review process, using the following steps:
    1.     
    Review the Capella
    library guide, Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing & Health Sciences.
    2.     
    Review the resource on
    how to use and create a PRISMA diagram.
    3.     
    Using keywords derived
    from your PICO(T) question, use the available search engines to locate four EBP
    articles.
    o   
    Use filters, such as:
    items with full text online, peer-reviewed publications, and publications
    within the last five years.
    4.     
    Use library tools,
    PRISMA, the Research Log spreadsheet, and RefWorks to organize and keep track
    of your search process.
    o   
    Be prepared to explain
    in a brief narrative report the steps in the process that you followed to find
    your literature sources.
    5.     
    Create a PRISMA diagram
    to illustrate your research process.
    o   
    Complete the PRISMA 2020
    flow diagram for new systematic reviews, including searches of databases and
