Why do you think many healthcare practitioners
are often unwilling to change practice patterns,
based on research findings? Some practitioners
criticize evidence-based practice as “cookbook
care.” Considering these perceptions, how would
you utilize your education and experiences in
planning the implementation of a major change?

Physicians and Nurses Kill More People Than
Airline Pilots NEW
discussion-2-why-do-physicians-and-nurses-

Consider the question: “Why do physicians and
nurses kill more people than airline pilots?” Apply
your critical thinking skills to this argument and
critique the statement. First, do you think it’s true?
If it is, what do you think about their rationale?
How would you address it if the question were
posed to you in a forum?

Coyne: Do size and ownership type make a
difference in the efficiency and cost results of
hospitals in Washington state? (Highlight p.164,

second column, starting 15 lines from bottom to
seven lines from bottom.)
Messina:
How did the research question emerge from the
review of literature in the article?
Coyne:
Built on an earlier study by Coyne on performance
differences between multi-facility systems and
independent hospitals using two cost measures.
Cited studies that used a range of variables to
measure differences in hospital performance, and
noted that prior findings have been inconclusive in
regard to hospital size, although economies of
scale were found.
