Healthcare statistics dp 2

 Your new staff was very interested to learn about the many online federal and state health care databases and the different types of statistical information available in each database. Like other health care organizations, Choice Hospital wants to maintain its financial stability and improve the quality of patient care. The new CEO of Choice Hospital would like to gain a better understanding of utilization rates and other measures of performance that can be used to track and demonstrate quality improvement. As the HCA, you and your team are asked to conduct preliminary research in the following areas:

  • Identify databases for statistical information on the utilization rates and other measures of quality performance (e.g., average length of stay [ALOS], patient wait times, and death rates) and select a healthcare statistic. 
  • Define your chosen healthcare statistic and explain how it was calculated. 
  • Explain to your staff the purpose of research questions and how the data obtained from research questions are used for informed decision-making.
  • Describe hypothesis testing and how it is used in research.
  • Formulate a hypothesis related to your chosen healthcare statistic.

Organizational Planning/Planned Change

 

Choose one of the following questions to answer for this week’s discussion board. Make sure to repost the question you selected at the top of your posting.

  1. How do you typically respond to change? Do you embrace it? Seek it out? Accept it reluctantly? Avoid it at all cost? Is this behavior like that of your friends and that of your family? Has your behavior always fit this pattern, or has the pattern changed throughout your life? If so, what life events have altered how you view and respond to change?
  2. Try to remember a situation in your own life that involved unnecessary change. Why do you think that the change was unnecessary? What types of turmoil did it cause? Were there things a change agent could have done that would have increased unfreezing in this situation?

Nursing module 4 assignment

What steps do you take to locate primary and peer-reviewed research articles when performing a literature search?

What resources are available to you to engage in a meaningful and successful literature search?

As you have explored throughout this course, Walden University provides vast resources for student support to ensure success in their academic program of study. When it comes to research and using Library resources, several support mechanisms are available to you as well.

Taking the first step to think about a research topic or area of interest and filtering that topic using a series of keywords and operations will be a fundamental component for performing a literature search in Walden Library’s databases. While the ultimate goal is to produce a set or results that match your search criteria, you must keep in mind that that the quality of the research articles obtained will likely vary. Thus, you must critically examine and analyze the aims of the research produced and how it aligns, confirms, or negates your topic or area of research. As you develop proficiency in this area, you will discover that you can extract content themes and frameworks to enhance future research and the need to identify additional research support.

For this Assignment, consult the Walden Library webinars and resources provided. These resources serve as a general good first step for performing literature searches and engaging with the databases of research available to you. Think about a research topic or area of interest to focus on for this Assignment. Then, search the Walden Library to locate and retrieve peer-reviewed research articles that pertain to your topic or area of interest. 

6-paragraph assignment in which you do the following:

  •  a 1-pararaph introduction of how you conducted your literature search and the databases consulted in your search in relation to your practice area or area of interest. Be specific and provide examples.
  • a 1-paragraph summary of each of the articles you have selected (a total of 3 paragraphs).
  •  1 paragraph that synthesizes the three articles using a scholarly voice.
  •  a final paragraph in which you discuss the differences between summarizing and synthesizing research. Be specific and provide examples.

W4-5

 

Sometimes when we are in school learning advanced concepts, things can seem a bit abstract until we are able to see or experience concrete examples.  The link below is a short talk by Ricardo Fernandez, a Spaniard, who leads a team of up to 30 people from several different countries, and the communication challenges associated with this international remote working team.  He is not an expert, nor an academic, but he has the kind of practical experience that is useful for a discussion…and for your potential similar encounters.

Ricardo Fernandez on remote international teams (13:14)

After reviewing the video consider the following:

  • Evaluate the video for the communication skills needed for success in managing a global environment.
  • Evaluate video for the relationship-building skills needed for success in managing a remote team.
  • Analyze how cultural diversity and specifically inclusion impact effective management communication. In the context of managing different cultures, ages, and genders what modes of communication seem most effective in managing people?  Provide examples; for instance, would texting the terms of a new contract be the best way to communicate with a 60-year-old Japanese customer?

Create a 2-3 minute video explaining your analysis of the video covering the points above and post a written summary of your analysis as well in the discussion. The written summary must be supported with in-text citations and a reference list.

You can use one of the helpful links below to capture your video; consider including other visuals such as slides, diagrams, etc. this does not have to be just you talking.
