Analysis Of SWOT Data on HAIs.
Reynaldo Sautie
Prof. Ruben Coll
09/26/2021
Overview.
Healthcare-acquired infections which are also referred to as
nosocomial infections are types of infections that patients and
healthcare providers acquired from within the healthcare
environment or centers (Dias et al., 2020). Depending on the
operating environment both patients and clinicians are at higher
risks of developing different types of infections while within
the healthcare facility. Among these infections, the most
common are respiratory infections, central-line-associated
bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections, pneumonia,
surgical infections, and many others. Major risk factors for
healthcare-acquired infections are age, acute physiology, and
multi-drug resistant pathogens. Such infections along with risk
factors associated with HAIs can be minimized by creating an

7. infection control policy, offer education on how to effectively
control infections, frequent use of gloves as well as disinfecting
and keeping the facility's surface clean. Based on the question,
this discussion paper will conduct a SWOT data analysis on
healthcare-acquired infections to collect more insights that
could help come up with better strategies to effectively manage
the said healthcare issue for quality improvement.
Analysis of the SWOT data on healthcare-acquired infections.
This project aims to conduct SWOT data analysis on the major
factors that put patients and culinarians at risk of acquiring
infections while they are receiving or providing healthcare
services respectively (Dias et al., 2020). As mentioned in the
previous discussion, numerous risk factors predispose patients
to contract hospital-acquired infections. At many times it has
been found that negligence from the healthcare staff and few
stubborn patients highly contribute to the increased rate of
hospital-acquired infections.
Strengths.
Upon conducting research and extensive analysis of the
available data, it was evident that one of the strengths that can
facilitate this project achieve its objectives on reducing cases of
healthcare-acquired infections is the capacity to analyze the
patient safety measures deployed within a health facility
(Chastre, 2016). This analysis will provide more details on
major weaknesses of the existing policies and measures that
could be used to reduce medical errors leading to the
contraction of HAIs. Data collected from patients and the
working environment serve as the most appropriate strength that
will portray the situation on the ground so as to come up with a
conclusive result that could help the project to succeed.
Weaknesses.
One of the major blows and perhaps a weakness to this study is
the insufficient healthcare staff such as nurses and physicians.
Since this study entails quality improvement, it will require

8. healthcare professionals identified above to participate and
provide data that could help come up with better ideas on how
the issues within the topic ought to be addressed (Anand,
2019). Lack of enough healthcare professionals may hinder the
process since their contribution is of great value. A
decentralized form of an organization along with hospital
working conditions may limit the collection and analysis of
sufficient and reliable data.
Opportunities.
With respect to project objectives, the study will offer an
opportunity for nurses and other healthcare providers to
determine areas within the healthcare system that required
immediate actions to address underlying challenges and issues
(Anand, 2019). The study will also provide the opportunity for
nurses to identify new approaches and techniques that could be
used to reduce healthcare infections and improve the quality of
service provided.
Threats.
There are many healthcare concerns and threats that may arise
from the study. Among the threats identified include ethical
concerns, patient safety, and impacts of the affordable care act.
Increased concerns on patient safety are likely to impact
hospital reimbursement given that the Affordable care act
assesses healthcare facilities that do not meet required standards
of patient care and safety and this may attack fines as provided
by the healthcare policies (Anand, 2019).

BUSI 600
Research Proposal: Topic Assignment Instructions
The purpose of the Research Proposal: Final Assignment is to
ensure you appreciate the challenge of setting up an effective
research plan, consider the context, research questions, sources,
timeline, integrated implications, analysis and writing required.
Building a proposal will demand you work through all the
research stages explored throughout the course including:
clarifying the research question; designing the research;
reviewing relevant scholary literature, data collection,
preparation and examination; analyzing the data; and reporting
on the research.
The Research Proposal: Topic Assignment is the first step
toward completing the major BUSI600 writing assignment, the
Research Proposal: Final Assignment. Your research proposal
topic should be one of personal interest/value with three
limitations:

10. · It needs to be something you can find scholarly research on
i.e., if you identify a topic that’s too narrow or obscure you may
not be able to find enough scholarly research on the topic
· It cannot be a subject upon which you have done a previous
assignment.
· Steer clear of political topics/issues since this is not a political
science course
Ensure the following requirements are met:
· Identify a topic of interest (a sentence or two), draft a problem
statement that explains the management dilemma (<100 words)
and conclude with the research question(s) (<100 words).
· Identify at least 10 scholarly (peer reviewed) journal articles
and create an Annotated Bibliography that specifically explains
each article’s relevance to your topic (6-8 sentences per
reference).
· Use proper grammar, current APA format and submit in MS
Word format.
· It does not require an abstract or Biblical integration.
Do not reuse work from any previous courses you have taken.
