Week 4 – Assignment: Analyze Quality Performance

Improvement requires the ability to effectively analyze data. While extensive knowledge in using statistical analysis tools is desirable, health administrators adept at constructing charts and analyzing the organizational data as compared to established benchmarks yields valuable information.

For your assignment this week, you will prepare an Analysis Report paper. Begin your assignment with the following steps:

1.Read the case study published by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) featuring Tampa General Hospital's use of the AHRQ tools to improve quality measures. The link to the Tampa General Hospital's case study is found in your Weekly Resources.

 After reading the Tampa General Hospital case study, you will access the
Hospital Compare website link found in your Weekly Resources. At this site, you will insert Tampa, Florida into the location box, select Hospital as the type of facility, and insert Tampa General Hospital into the name box. Once the webpage for Tampa General Hospital is accessed, click on
Patient Survey Ratings. Here you will find the hospital's patient satisfaction ratings along with the state and national ratings in each category.

 With these data, you will use an Excel spreadsheet to insert the type of indicator (i.e.,
Patients who reports their nurses always communicated well and the observed score for Tampa General Hospital as well as the average Florida and National scores provided). Repeat this process to include all 10 statements of patient satisfaction.

Once your spreadsheet data is complete, create a bar graph by clicking on Insert in the top header and selecting the bar graph to visually display the comparison of Tampa General Hospital's scores to the state and national average scores. Instead of using Excel, you may alternately create a Table in Microsoft Word using the same data as described above placed in a table. Once the table is complete, click Insert from the ribbon at the top of the page, and then click Chart. From here, select Bar chart and use the Clustered Bar Chart style. For either method, make sure all three data sources are depicted in the chart. An example of how to set up your table and the resulting bar graph that is both required in your paper are shown. Keep in mind the information you retrieve is a single data set and does not represent performance over time, but rather represents a snapshot of organizational performance as compared to external standards.

 Next, you will click on
Quality in the Tampa General Hospital's website header and scroll down to
Complications and Deaths. Once the section expands, scroll down to
Infections. In the
Infection's section, you will find the quality score for the topic in the case study regarding catheter-associated urinary catheter infections (CAUTI). Record the score for Tampa General Hospital for this measure and note the national benchmark score of 1. You will analyze this score as it compares to the national score and its relevance to the case study.

 Lastly, you will prepare your Analysis Report paper that contains an introductory section, the body of your report containing your analysis of Tamps General Hospital's patient satisfaction ratings and the comparison of the ratings to the state and national scores, and your analysis of the CAUTI infection rate compared to the national rate. You will also include a summary section in your paper. You will insert your Clustered Bar graph (see example) with the 10 statements and scores as a Figure into your discussion and analysis of the scores. The table you created (see example) to display the 10 statements and the hospital, state, and national scores will be in an appendix to your report. Be sure to check APA guidelines for using an appendix in a report, how to label figures and tables.

Discussion

/in /by

As your EBP skills grow, you may be called upon to share your expertise with others. While EBP practice is often conducted with unique outcomes in mind, EBP practitioners who share their results can both add to the general body of knowledge and serve as an advocate for the application of EBP.

In this Discussion, you will explore strategies for disseminating EBP within your organization, community, or industry. 

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the various strategies presented throughout the course that may be helpful in disseminating effective and widely cited EBP.
    • This may include: unit-level or organizational-level presentations, poster presentations, and podium presentations at organizational, local, regional, state, and national levels, as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Reflect on which type of dissemination strategy you might use to communicate EBP.

Post at least two dissemination strategies you would be most inclined to use and explain why. Explain which dissemination strategies you would be least inclined to use and explain why. Identify at least two barriers you might encounter when using the dissemination strategies you are most inclined to use. Be specific and provide examples. Explain how you might overcome the barriers you identified

The main advantage of mixed-methods research design is that it allows researchers to integrate multiple data sources to provide more insight into the study phenomena. Because mixed methods utilize both numerical and non-numerical data, researchers can assess and explore the relationships and elements of social and human life. Qualitative and quantitative research concepts may be non-specific and ambiguous in some cases. These two challenges may have significant implications for the research. Therefore, when a researcher mixes qualitative and quantitative research, they get the chance to experience new empirical insights into the research from a dynamic and comprehensive approach. Such experiences override the challenges that may come with quantitative or qualitative methods, including inconclusive outcomes and longer than the expected research time. Researchers can take an analytical approach to understanding complex research questions through the use of mixed-methods design.

Similarly, mixed-methods research design allows researchers to integrate data triangulation into the study. With data triangulation, researchers can confirm the validity of research findings by applying several data sources to identify inconsistencies in the variables (Dawadi et al., 2021). For example, to confirm the experiences of patients admitted to palliative care, researchers may use both open-ended and closed-ended surveys to acquire data. The data can be compared through triangulation. Triangulation, thus, allows for the application of “more diverse data,” a quality that may not be achieved by using a single design (Dawadi et al., 2021). When this happens, the validity and reliability of the research findings are improved. 

The main disadvantage of mixed-methods design is that it may be complicated for inexperienced or rookie researchers. Researchers who have little research experience may find it challenging to meet the requirements of the method due to its complex nature (Wasti et al., 2022). Such researchers may also have a hard time identifying interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary team members who have expertise in both quantitative and qualitative research. If this happens, the research process may be gravely compromised. Similarly, mixed-methods design escalates research costs and time since it requires data collection and analysis to be conducted in several stages (Wasti et al., 2022). For example, the study team must collect and analyze both numerical and non-numerical data as prescribed by the design. This may be costly in case of budget constraints and limited time. Lastly, the appropriateness of mixed-methods design is never guaranteed because it mainly depends on the nature of the research questions. Some research questions may be subject to ambiguity which may not be effectively addressed by mixed-methods design.

2. Mixed method research has become increasingly popular in the field of social science and other areas of study because they provide an extensive framework for comprehending challenging research topics. This approach combines quantitative and qualitative research techniques to offer a more thorough and sophisticated knowledge of a particular issue.

Multiple benefits are provided by mixed research methods. By integrating quantitative data for statistical accuracy and qualitative data for perspective and depth, they provide a thorough comprehension of study concerns providing validity and reliability of the results. Qualitative approaches are particularly useful for complicated or understudied issues because they enable investigation and the discovery of unanticipated findings. Additionally, context is added to findings through mixed methods research, increasing their relevance for practical applications (Tashakkori & Teddlie, 2019).

Comprehensive Understanding is one of the main advantages of a mixed methods research design. This attention to detail results from the integration of both quantitative and qualitative data, which enables researchers to go further beyond the most obvious conclusions. While qualitative data explore the “why” and “how” by revealing underlying meanings, motives, and context, quantitative data show statistical patterns and connections, providing answers to the “what” and “how many” questions. The findings are more solid and practical as a result of the holistic method, which guarantees that researchers get a thorough, multidimensional understanding of the topic under study. (Tashakkori & Teddlie, 2019).

Exploration and discovery are fundamental benefits of using mixed methods research designs. Particularly making use of methods that are qualitative provides the flexibility to examine unforeseen factors of a research subject, leading to the discovery of additional patterns. This element is extremely useful when researching difficult or relatively unexplored subjects since it allows researchers to modify their questions and dive further into unexpected areas. Mixed methods research embraces the qualitative component, encouraging researchers to be open to different viewpoints, eventually resulting in a better and more comprehensive knowledge of the phenomena being examined (Johnson et al., 2021).

Research designs using mixed methodologies have various limitations. They may need a lot of time, money, and skill. Research durations may be affected by the complexity of combining both qualitative and quantitative methods. Furthermore, because qualitative research is subjective, there is a chance that the results may be biased (Tashakkori & Teddlie, 2019).

In conclusion, mixed methods research designs that call for both quantitative and qualitative viewpoints provide a highly effective approach. They increase the validity and trustworthiness of study findings and offer a thorough comprehension of complicated events. They do, however, also have disadvantages, such as demands on resources, complexity, and possible bias. When considering whether to adopt a mixed methods approach, researchers must carefully evaluate the advantages and disadvantages and make sure they are prepared to handle the complicated processes involved. They may then use the advantages of both quantitative and qualitative techniques to better understand their research issues.
