The challenges and implications of Advanced Practice

LO5 Guidance

Your written assignment will form the foundation of a future publication. Following completion of the course we recommend that you continue to work with your academic supervisor to further develop this initial draft and submit a publication in a journal of your choice. Your supervisor can guide you through this process and help you to develop the content pre and post publication submission. You will lead this publication and be the first author; your academic supervisor will be the second or last author.
Publications and presentations are important for your CV, and also enable you to showcase your achievements with other clinical and academic colleagues. This will help to develop Advanced Practice and shape the future of health care. Critically discuss the challenges and implications of this, set out plans for further development, and recommendations for future actions.

Assignment Guidance
This assignment should follow the standard structure for journal publications, with the following sections:
Abstract: This should be a structured, brief summary of your background, aims, methods, results and conclusions (100 words)
Background/Introduction: Briefly set the context for your project by outlining succinctly current guidelines/standards/recommendations, clinical issues and literature evidence to justify your project choice
Aims/Objectives: Briefly state the aims/objectives for your DQIP
Methods: Briefly state what methods you used, and why you chose this approach. Include your project design (audit/service evaluation), methods used for data collection and analysis, including pre and post measures and timelines. Clearly describe your intervention and outcome measures that you chose to focus on. Include the need for university ethics approval and permission from your clinical organisation. If you were unable to complete all your project, you should still include your intended methods, including plans for your intervention and post data collection/analysis.

The challenges and implications of Advanced Practice

·         Results: Set out your main results using a logical flow to present key demographics, and use tables/graphs to illustrate your findings pre and post your intervention. If your project is incomplete, focus on baseline data as interim findings. Include some narrative, but avoid interpretation in this section.

·         Discussion: Start with a summary of your results where you can provide some interpretation. Also, link this with evidence from the literature to critically discuss the implications of your results for patients, staff and service delivery/improvements. If you were unable to complete your project critically discuss the challenges and implications of this, highlighting future plans for your intervention and evaluation, and include recommendations for clinical practice.
·         Conclusion: This should be a brief summary of the key findings/implications to date, to highlight the impact on clinical practice (or future potential if your project is incomplete), outlining your planned next steps and making recommendations for future work in this area.

You should be clear about what you have achieved, and what gap in practice you are addressing. You can also critically discuss the challenges in project implementation, delivering an intervention, and evaluation. Irrespective of the status of your project, you can make recommendations for others to improve practice in their area with a similar patient population.

Pay careful attention to academic discipline in your work. Factors such as writing style, grammar, and spelling are all important. The quality of your referencing is also of fundamental importance. Poor quality referencing to sources that do not support your argument is poor academic practice and reflects negatively. Please ensure that all of your references are of good quality and correctly cited.

Project Management Discussion

Question: Read the case “Post-Graduation Adventure” on page 154 in the course book. Answer the following questions applying the concepts you have learned thus far in the course: •Assume you are either Mike or Josh, how would you go about making a decision using project management methodology? •Looking first at only cost, what decision would you make? •After cost, what other factors should be considered before making a decision? Keep in mind this is an estimate request. •Use search engines such as Expedia, Kayak, etc. to come up with cost ($$) and figures accordingly in an effort to make an informed decision on which location to visit. Present your cost for each trip, WBS, and how you reached your decision (break down each item with estimated cost).

Operations Management – Breakfast at the Paramount Case Analysis

Provide answers to the following questions via a typed analysis. Your paper should be typed, in paragraph form, 12 point font, double-spaced. You should provide a thorough analysis that includes answers to the questions below. Your paper should be a minimum of 3-5 typed pages. The case focuses on the restaurant’s interesting seating policy and a recent increase in the popularity of carryout orders, which poses a threat to the service experiences of customers and the sustainability of the operation. Please read, watch the videos, and engage with the interactive exhibits in the multimedia case, and use the following questions to guide your analysis. 1) Based on your reading of the case and your observations through interaction with the videos and multimedia exhibits, what factors contribute to and detract from dine-in customers’ service experiences waiting in line at the Paramount? How might Michael Conlon redesign the process to improve the experience? 2) Analyze the Paramount’s seating policy. How does the seating policy contribute to the restaurant’s capacity to serve customers? Why does it work? 3) Experiment with the queuing calculator and calculate the length of the Paramount’s line. What happens when the arrival rate (the number of customers arriving per hour) rises in relation to the service rate (the number of customers served per hour)? 4) What advice do you have for Michael Conlon about how to respond to the increase in carryout orders at the Paramount? Your analysis of this case can be broken down into seven parts: 1) an analysis of the Paramount’s operating process; 2) an exploration of how its seating policy stacks up against traditional table service; 3) consideration of how the Paramount’s operational design influences customer experiences and behaviors; 4) the effect of increasing carryout orders on queuing dynamics; 5) a re-examination of customer experiences and behaviors under carryout orders; 6) a re-examination of the Paramount’s value proposition under carryout orders; and 7) a discussion of customer compatibility and the centralized selection strategy used by the Paramount to manage it. Develop a process flow diagram, and by using information in the case, calculate the processing time for each stage of the process. The case describes how the Paramount’s cafeteria-style seating policy is uncomfortable for guests. Why is Paramount choosing to inflict this experience on customers? Based on your process analysis, calculate the number of customers the Paramount can serve per hour with its existing seating policy, and compare that to an estimate of how many customers it could serve per hour with a traditional table service model.
