Introduction
This
assessment requires you to put all of your research together in the longest
paper in the course, including theories and models, the target
population, and evaluation tools for assessing the impact of the proposed
intervention.
Concepts,
theories, and models serve several key functions in health care improvement and
help answer the “what, how, and why” for performance improvement. Quality
Improvement (QI), concepts, theories, and models help translate research to
practice.
Think
about a theory or model that will facilitate the implementation of the project.
For example, if you anticipate resistance from the stakeholders, or the
population undergoing a change, consider aligning a change theory with the
model for improvement. Or, if the project focuses on a process change, consider
the LEAN model or Donabedian’s Structure, Process, Outcomes model.
Next,
focus on identification of the population. Ask yourself, “Who is undergoing the
practice change, and who will benefit from the practice change?” Think about
how you may want to identify your population. What are the demographics of the
population? For example, can they be described by age, generation,
socio-cultural determinants, geographic area, gender, or ethnicity? If the
population affected includes the staff or providers of care, how might you
describe these participants? If the affected population is the patient(s),
consider human subject risk when evaluating the literature pertaining to the
intervention.
Finally,
this assessment also includes how evidence-based instruments are used in health
research to generate analyzable data. Sometimes, biometric instruments (such as
MRI and laboratory testing), demographic surveys or questionnaires, and
psychosocial instruments are used as screening tools to explore relationships
between variables of interest. Not all improvement studies require the use of a
tool or survey. If you decide to use a tool or survey for the safety
initiative, make sure the tool is evidence-based and has been validated for
reliability.
In
this course, we are focusing on a patient safety issue of your choice and
working through the steps of the EBP process. In this assessment, identify a
tool or tools that could be used to evaluate the intervention.
Scenario
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. To further your quest to address a specific
patient safety issue, you need to investigate the best measurement tools that
could be used to evaluate if the intervention was a success.
Instructions

Hello Professor and classmates,
Welcome to week eight, everyone! I trust you all had a productive week. Last week, we delved into the importance of effective communication in healthcare management. Today, we shift our focus to a new case study that presents complex challenges in staff monitoring and ethical decision-making.
I hope everyone had a wonderful week. I have to post my discussion early, as I will be with family on vacation and will not have access to the internet. This is going to be a much-needed trip to take a break from chemotherapy.
This week, we were asked to discuss a case study that needs to be analyzed.
In this intricate case, the facility’s administrator grapples with two significant issues: staff monitoring and ethical dilemmas. The staff, unfortunately, failed to detect the budding relationship between the residents and intervene before it snowballed into a major issue. This points to a lack of sufficient supervision and monitoring of the residents. The other issue is the ethical dilemma. The administrator is faced with a moral quandary as he must balance the residents’ rights to engage in a relationship and the obligation to protect residents from potential harm. This is particularly challenging as the residents involved in the love triangle have been diagnosed with dementia, raising questions about their capacity to provide informed consent.
A key amendment to the facility’s human resource policies to enhance the effectiveness of staff monitoring of the residents could be comprehensive training on managing and recognizing various interpersonal relationships with the residents. This training would equip staff with the skills to identify early signs of developing relationships, assess the resident’s capacity to engage in various relationships, and intervene effectively when necessary. This is not just a suggestion, but a crucial step towards preventing similar issues in the future (Libraries, 1).
From this case, it becomes clear that the facility’s administrator and staff must grasp the importance of respecting the residents, balancing autonomy, and ensuring their safety. They need to understand the value of effective monitoring and early intervention to prevent issues in the facility from escalating. This case is not just a theoretical exercise, but a real-life scenario that underscores the need for clear guidelines and policies in handling significant problems. This is crucial for the smooth functioning of any healthcare facility.
My rationale for the suggestion is that improved staff training will guarantee that the organization’s staff can handle any concerns or problems that come their way. This will be pivotal to preventing such problems from transpiring in the facility.
Thank you, Professor and my esteemed classmates, for your valuable time and attention to my discussion post. Your engagement is highly valued and contributes significantly to our learning journey together. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow with all of you. I wish you all a wonderful and blessed day!

Discuss a social or a political or an economical factor that has influenced the development of professional nursing in the United States.
Keep in mind: A discussion is not an assignment- therefore, pretending you are sharing the information with a colleague over coffee is the best method. Here is an example to begin: In this class I as learning about factors that can influence our profession, one that would like to share is …select the one of your interest. Or in my job I have noticed….. Validate your views from the text book or a journal. Do not submit a Word doc. it will not be graded
Support your initial post with references: 1) one must be from an English-titled, peer-reviewed nursing journal (less than five years old) and 2) one must be from the course textbook. Both may be used more than once or from other nursing peer-review journals. Review your colleague posts and reply to at least one. As with your post, all definitive content must be referenced. Support your response by including at least one reference from an English-titled, peer-reviewed nursing journal (less than five years old). This article must be different from the one used for the initial post. References are required for all definitive content, which is information that you have read, heard about, or someone shared it with you. Thus, it is not your own that you discover through research, if so state this. Must use the 7th ed for Professional APA format required. In addition to in-text citations (with the page number you found the information on) and a list of references. See criteria and grading rubric for discussions prior to submission. Initial posting should be 150-300 words. Response posting should be 100 – 300 words. You must start a thread before you can read and reply to other threads

In the development of your research project based on the literature review you completed (which is attached), determine what data analytics techniques that could be incorporated into the research project and then justify why those methods were chosen. 

Introduction
Assessing
the relevance and quality of a scholarly publication is an essential skill for
the refinement of evidence-based knowledge. You will learn about specific study
methods and designs, and then you will be able to determine the level of
evidence a study represents in EBP.
EBP
plays an important role throughout the development of your capstone project,
including selecting a researchable topic for improvement. For this assessment,
you will learn about different appraisal tools, including a rapid appraisal, to
apply in the EBP process. You will also learn how to conduct a comprehensive
appraisal of qualitative research and how to translate qualitative evidence
into practice (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2019).
You
will also evaluate interventions from the evidence-based literature for merit
and appropriateness. Some examples might include a particular type of
evidence-based therapy, a new policy, a quality improvement initiative, et
cetera. Consider these questions:
·        
Would the intervention
be an appropriate solution for the clinical or practice problem?
·        
Is the intervention
feasible for the organization?
·        
What type of resistance
might we encounter?
·        
What impact could the
outcome have on the organization?

The
purpose of this assessment is to evaluate and critically appraise the available
evidence pertaining to the patient safety issue. This is an important step in
the evidence-based practice process. The evidence should be appraised for
merit, implicit bias, and relevance to the topic. Moreover, evidence should be
from current, peer reviewed sources. Clinical practice guidelines and consensus
statements are usually updated every 10 years. Consider this guideline when
evaluating the current literature.
