comment from post 5

Statistical interaction may occur when we take into account the connection between three or more variables’ and report a situation in which the effect of the two variables done at the same time on the third one is not improved. When interaction occurs between two variable of interest’ the connection among each of the interacting variables and a third 6 dependent variable6 rely on the value of the interacting variable and this makes it harder to anticipate the outcomes of the value of variable that changes especially if the variable it interacts with are difficult to measure (Eastom & Mc Coll, 2014).

When two or more independent variables are involved in a research design, there is more to consider than simply the “main effect” of each of the independent variables (also termed “factors”). That is, the effect of one independent variable on the dependent variable of interest may not be the same at all levels of the other independent variable. Another way to put this is that the effect of one independent variable may depend on the level of the other independent variable.

In order to find an interaction, you must have a factorial design, in which the two (or more) independent variables are “crossed” with one another so that there are observations at every combination of levels of the two independent variables.

For example, when a nurse is administer a blood thinner  to a patient the nurse has to be careful about of some of other medication that this patient is taking.such as  vitamin k and food like green vegetable because those things can interact with that blood thinner , decrease the effect of the drug and  furthere more be life threathining for that patient. Usually, if the issue is not caught by the doctor and the nursing team, pharmacy will call for change of medication because of interaction.

comment from post 6

Yes, if there are no values that occur more than once, the mode cannot be used to determine the measure of center.  But if there are values that occur frequently the mode can be used.  If there are 2 values that occur with the same greatest frequency, this is called bimodal.  Multimodal is when there are 3 + values that occur with same greatest frequency.  As stated, no values repeated means the mode cannot be used.  The mean is considered to be the most frequently used measure for central of tendency.  I think is because we prefer to work with numbers and calculations rather then arranging data into orders.  But, the median does find the exact center of data.

Data for External Organizations

You were asked to choose a quality-improvement standard within health care to discuss. This standard could be related to credentialing, patient safety, utilization management services, home health care, or long-term care. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of 6–8 slides with speaker notes of 75-150 words not including title and reference pages that will display the following information:

  • Define and explain the quality process you chose.
  • Define descriptive versus inferential statistics. If you were to survey your members, describe the form of the 4 levels of measurement that would be suited for your task (i.e. nominal, interval, ordinal, and ratio).
  • Identify the purpose of the measure.
  • Illustrate how patients or members have benefited or will benefit from the process.
  • Identify which types of health care organizations are impacted by the standard.
  • Based on your knowledge of the standard being discussed, provide 1–3 changes that you might recommend. If you do not have any recommendations, then provide your reasons for not having a recommendation.

NURS 6231: HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS AND QUALITY OUTCOMES – Course Project Part 3(Grading Rubic and InstructionsAttached)

Project 1: Promoting Health Care Quality

Section 3: Quality Measurement and Assessment

Measuring and assessing quality provides a foundation for identifying needs for improvement, developing effective interventions, and then monitoring progress toward desired results.

In the Sadeghi, Barzi, Mikhail, and Shabot text, the authors assert that an effort to improve quality “calls for setting outcome and performance targets (goals and expectations) beginning with the end in mind, and then formulating initiatives and actions (processes) that can serve as a bridge to take the organization from its current performance to its desired performance” (p. 182).

Having this “end in mind” can provide justification for dedicating valuable resources toward the effort, and help to lay a clear, concrete path that takes the organization from uncovering gaps between current performance and evidence-based targets to actually achieving those goals.

In this section of the Course Project, you focus on what you would measure—and how you would measure it—relative to your previously identified quality improvement issue. Note: This section of the Course Project will serve as the Portfolio Assignment for this course.

Through your work in previous weeks of this course, you have likely gained critical insights into the organization that serves as the focus for your quality improvement plan. Integrating this knowledge of the organization into your plan for addressing a quality improvement issue is essential for successfully facilitating change.

As you deepen your analysis of your selected organization, consider how the information presented in this week’s Learning Resources relates to strategic priorities as well as to the uniquely collaborative and competitive dynamic that binds organizations in health care.

To prepare:

Review the Learning Resources. Also conduct a search of the literature related to your selected quality improvement issue and complete the Evidence Matrix (provided in this week’s Learning Resources).

Evaluate the evidence presented in the research literature and the quality standards proposed by various organizations, including the IOM’s six aims for quality improvement.

Based on this review and your knowledge of the organization that you have selected, determine appropriate measures and indicators of performance related to your identified quality improvement issue.

Consider how you could gather and use historical evidence of the organization’s performance related to the quality improvement issue. Also consider methods for gathering and assessing current quantitative and qualitative data, including those currently in use by the organization (e.g., chart audit data, staff surveys, quality indicators that are monitored, observations). If possible, examine actual data to assess your selected organization’s performance related to the issue.

Think about what, specifically, you would like to achieve related to this issue. Establish realistic, evidence-based quality performance targets.

Analyze gap(s) between the organization’s current performance and the performance targets.

As you do this, you may wish to create a graphic organizer/alignment chart for your own use that illustrates:

The measures and indicators that you would evaluate

Current and historical data related to this quality issue—either actual data or methods for how you would collect and analyze the data

Methods for collecting and analyzing data in the future (including when you would do this)

Realistic, evidence-based targets

To complete this Assignment, you will write a paper introducing your quality improvement plan.

Think about the quality improvement issue that you are addressing and the associated plan that you are developing. Consider the following:

What is the overall purpose, or aim, of doing this work?

What would you hope to achieve for the organization by undertaking this project? What are the objectives of this initiative?

What value would this work add to the organization?

How would this work improve practice and create outcomes with impact?

Review Chapter 7 of the Sadeghi, Barzi, Mikhail, and Shabot course text. Consider how addressing this quality improvement issue would align with the organization’s mission, vision, values, and strategic goals and objectives. How does it relate to regulatory issues, and other matters that are significant for the organization? If you notice a misalignment, use this as an opportunity to refine your focus.

With this in mind, continue to hone your development of this Assignment, integrating the concepts addressed here into Section 3.

To complete:

Write a 3- to 5-page paper that includes:

An introduction to your quality improvement plan, including the overarching aim of this initiative and an explanation of how it aligns with the mission, vision, values, and strategic goals and objectives of the organization, as well as regulatory issues and other matters that are significant for the organization

An overview of the current situation with regard to this quality improvement issue in the organization

A description of measures and indicators

A presentation on data related to this issue, including:

Actual historical and current data and/or a description of the methods that you would use to collect and analyze the data

Methods for collecting and analyzing data in the future, including when you would do this

A description of realistic, evidence-based targets

Be sure to cite evidence from the literature to justify your selection of the measures and indicators, as well as the performance targets. This section of the Course Project serves as the Portfolio Assignment for this course.

COMMENT TANIA

 I NEED A POSITIVE COMMENT BASED IN THIS ARGUMENT..BETWEEN 150-200 WORDS

As a nurse leader, to see the hospital implement an outreach program which will benefit needy members of the community, I will different communication methodologies to develop a shared vision with the stakeholders. In this case stakeholders involve healthcare providers, the government, humanitarian organizations, non-governmental organizations, and the entire community. Communication is the act of exchanging information between groups or individuals or simply the act of communicating. Through information acquired through communication, it is possible to assess and know your performance through the following key components of communication done face to face: words, body language, and tone.Leaders in this profession of nursing  are expected to be attentive to their patients when they have  something to say.

 In order to develop and manage in nursing leadership with your stakeholders a shared vision of the following nonverbal cues must be implemented: control facial expressions,good eye contact, posture.It is the responsibility of the nurse leader to establish the culture of communication in the department .Communication would be made depending on the stakeholders being addressed. For the governments and other organization, written communication would be used. Official or formal letters would be send to these organization notifying them about the project and make requests for funding. Creating a communicating structure can be fostered by being visible and for having accessibility an open door policy is important. This can comprise weekly newsletters, meetings for staffs on monthly basis and on bulletin boards having notes .

 However, for my colleagues in the field of healthcare, face to face communication would be enhanced utilized so as to come up with the best strategy to attain the vision. For the entire community, posters will do better. Print outs would be hanged all over to pass the message to the members of the public. Technological development and innovations have simplified the way of life. In this regard, social media platforms such as Tweeter and Facebook would act as key means to pass the message across all community members especially the youths .

 In conclusion, any interaction must offer dialogue an opportunity for the purpose of sharing concerns or requesting for clarifications or asking questions regarding the same. In scenarios where it appears to be  impossible due to of constraints such as  time,  it is crucial to offer chances for an audience to have a follow-up. The most crucial communication factors include regular frequency, consistency, and chances to provide comment or feedback.
