Health care Program Evaluation

When evaluating health care programs, it is vital to utilize evidence-based research because it is a great resource to identifying patient care treatment outcomes. Health care program evaluation is an innovative approach to managing and overcoming patient care organizational barriers.

Through using evidence base practice, research opportunities provide clinicians with point-of-care strategies for healthcare organizations to empower clinicians, and showcase excellence (Black, et. Al, 2015). Management of evidence base programs provides researchers the opportunity to collect data at every level of the programs planning and development, therefore identifying the output and outcome of the research. Evidence-based practice (EBP) improves patient safety, identifies clinical outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, while decreasing different levels of patient outcomes. (Overholt, Melnyk, Schultz,2005). Management of programs utilizing evidence base practice demonstrates that health care treatments, medications, and clinician care have a significant outcome to the management of patient care, which is the most important factor related to improving population health outcomes. Furthermore, evidence base practice is the intervention that increase awareness in clinical practice, guiding the inclusion to managing the point-of-care (Black, et. Al., 2015).

Management of evidence base practice provides an innovative approach to bridging the gap between clinical practice and research. In addition to evidence base research is the catalyst that empowers clinicians to identify challenging clinical issues, that can provide knowledge, skills, and the resources needed to identify solutions through the use of research evidence-based management.

Health care information

1.)Provide a brief explanation of the following. What is the difference between quantitative and qualitative research? What is a hypothesis? Describe one type of sampling method. Explain the importance of the Institutional Review Board in research that involves human subjects. 2.)Research has played an important role in the advancement of medical science, patient treatment, and overall improvement in patient care. For the purpose of this post, choose any research from medical treatments and procedures, finding cures for diseases, use of new technology in healthcare, or new clinical guidelines and protocols. You may need to do some library research to find some details on the selected topic. Briefly describe the research that has affected the selected healthcare area. Provide some details on how it has been affected. For example, has it improved quality of care? Eradicated a disease? Lowered the prevalence or incidence of a disease? Lowered hospitalizations?

Paper details:

In a two- three page paper written in APA format and attached as a Microsoft Word document, please complete the following assignment. References: Use a minimum of two resources (scholarly or peer-reviewed journal) to support your information. For scholarly journals, access CINAHL, ProQuest, or Pub Med in SHARC. Discuss the four uses of comparative data in healthcare organizations and provide an example when each may be useful. When using comparative data, what is the manager’s main responsibility? How might you personally use comparative data to improve your performance in your organization? Use at least one outside source, the text does not qualify as an outside source.

Depression: how treatment has changed over time

Develop your claims and evidences depending on your findings.

Your academic argument should include the following elements: a main claim, reasons, evidence, acknowledgments, and responses. Important! Your main claim will be a response to your research question.

Revise the Research Question: look at the post on how to do that on the announcements page. Developing a claim: Come up with a one-sentence answer to the research question from the conclusion of your Literature Review, which will be the main claim in your academic argument. Conclusion (include section heading): Synthesize (do not summarize!) the main information, explanations, debates and argument that your paper has offered. Restate, in different words to avoid repetition, your original research question and main claim. What is the significance of the work you have done, the research you’ve uncovered, the questions you’ve asked, and the arguments you have made?

Begin this section with your own original research question along with its justification (may be a revised version of your concluding paragraph from your Literature Review essay), which should emerge out of the scholarly sources in the lit review section, especially those areas or questions that you believe have not yet been adequately answered. The overall purpose of the FRA is to support your main interpretive claim, the answer to your original research question.

Significant Contributions to Public Health

Description Use the outline below to organize your paper or presentation. Do not type the “Steps” into your paper or presentation. Rather, formulate a well thought out analysis with logical transitions as you would a professional paper or presentation. The grading rubric will be your guide for all the points you need to address in your final submission. Research and critical thinking is a large component of this project. You will curate resources to support your statements using proper APA Style (Links to an external site.). ◦Margaret Sanger • Step 2: Describe your selected person’s biographical background (i.e., experience). ◦TIP: Research the individual’s background. This can include resume elements such as birthdate, location, education, and brief statement of their contribution to public health. (Reminder: biographical information can be easily plagiarized. Please do not copy from your biographical websites. Paraphrase or quote and cite everything according to APA.) • Step 3: Analyze the climate of the time period in terms of political, socioeconomic, environmental, and technological context in which this person worked. ◦TIP: Research the barriers and issue of the time. Think about whether this person was up against resistance or if the work this person did was welcomed. (For example, if you were writing on Abraham Lincoln and the abolition of slavery, you would note that slavery was prevalent and accepted at the time, and the change was welcomed by some and rejected by others.) • Step 4: Examine the personal beliefs of your person that prompted this work. ◦TIP: You are basically addressing the question: “Why did this person get involved with the issue at the time?” (In continuing the Lincoln example above, you would note that black people were considered property, not people; yet Lincoln believed everyone had equal rights regardless of skin color.) • Step 5: Examine how this individual overcame or confronted any adversities. ◦TIP: Think about how this person overcame the barriers and issues. Questions to consider: What did the person specifically do? Did they have any allies? How did their actions succeed or fail? • Step 6: Describe the final outcome of this individual’s contribution to community or public health. ◦TIP: Think about the importance of the contribution to community or public health at the time. Think about this question: What occurred as a result of this person’s action? • Step 7: Explain what the individual’s contribution did for overall community or public health at the time. ◦TIP: Think about this question: What was the purpose for the community or nation? (In the Lincoln example, the explanation would involve a national recognition of human rights of all people, regardless of skin color.) • Step 8: Explain why this contribution was so important at that particular point in history. ◦TIP: Think about this question: What made this important for our nation? (In the Lincoln example, you would answer the question: Why was it so important that Lincoln freed the slaves?) You have a choice of which format you wish to present your findings. You can choose either a written paper or a presentation format. Follow the instructions below for the option you choose.
