NURS 6052 – Essentials of Evidence-Based Practice
Week 8 Initial Discussion Post
Planning for Data Collection
Evidence-based practice is a theory that consists of using research to guide decision making in clinical and nursing settings. For research to be reliable and have validity a significant amount of data collection must first be collected. Whether a research project is using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods design, it is essential to determine what types of information is needed. Due to the emphasis on patient satisfaction in the healthcare world at this time, it is crucial to evaluate how that care is being delivered (Krietz, Winters & Pedowitz, 2016). In this post, I will discuss using a survey method to obtain information representative of the population within a clinic setting.
In the example, I am a nurse working in a local primary care facility which sees thousands of patients annually. To make better clinical decisions regarding patient care and satisfaction, five questions have been created to elicit feedback. The questions are as follows:
1. Did you feel the wait time to be seen in the office was appropriate?
2. During your visit, did you feel the nurses and staff listened to your concerns and treated you with courtesy and respect?
3. Did the provider spend enough time listening, discussing care, and answering your questions?
4. Based on your experience today, would you recommend our clinic to someone you know?
5. In your opinion, what could our clinic have done better?
To obtain structured data that is self-reported and applicable to the clinic’s objectives, it is vital to determine which instrument would work best for the clientele. Self-report methods can extract information from patients that might otherwise be difficult to get (Polit & Beck, 2017). Allowing the freedom to report their experiences and feelings increases confidence in the clinic’s desire to meet their needs. If researchers know what data they want to obtain, a structured approach with some open-ended and closed questions can garner the information needed to make significant changes (Polit & Beck, 2017). Using a mixture of questions is an attempt to include all patients.
For this scenario, the questionnaire is a sampling of both types of questions and is the most popular method (Keough & Tanabe, 2011). The study will be given to individuals 18 and over. The questionnaire and a pen will be given to the patient by the nurse prior at the start of their appointment with the physician. An explanation of the questionnaire will be provided with instructions to return their questionnaire to the drop-box on the countertop in the room after their exam. The goal for participation is 500 patient responses over six months. Responses will be collected and responses logged into the computer on Fridays by the nurse manager. After the six months, results will be calculated, and staff will be informed of the result.

Final Project
Advanced practice nurses (APNs) have become an essential part of contemporary health care system in the United States. These specialists have the key role in the provision of quality, safe, and cost-effective health care to broad populations. They make an invaluable contribution to the transformation of the health care system to provide better customer experience in health care institutions. The changes in the American society including demographic changes, technologic progress, and the progress in the area of policy-making to provide access to the health care services to all suggests that the roles of the ANPs will continue to evolve and gain more significance in society. Effective functioning of health care system in contemporary conditions is impossible without the contribution made by nurse practitioners, nurse informaticists, nurse educators, and nurse administrators. This final paper aims to summarize the information learned during this course concerning the significance of advanced practice nursing roles, legislative regulations that control their scope of practice, and their contribution in the area of policy-making related to health care.
Advanced Practice Roles in Nursing
Advanced nursing practice is a growing specialty in the nursing profession with the broad scope of practice. APNs work in a variety of fields and settings, including both clinical and non-clinical ones (Sun et al., 2015). These specialists engage in both direct and indirect patient care, and can become essential members of managerial teams or start their own business in family practice.
There are multiple roles in the advanced nursing practice including nurse practitioners, nurse educators, nurse administrators, and nurse informaticists. The advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) employed in clinical practice are the certified nurse-midwife (CNM), clinical nurse specialist (CNS), certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), and nurse practitioner (NP) (Melnyk, Gallagher‐Ford, Long, & Fineout‐Overholt, 2014). All these clinical specialists are focused on patient care quality improvement and patient outcomes facilitation (Melnyk et al., 2014). As for the difference between APN and ANP, from the information above, it can be seen that the APN is a broader concept meaning the whole specialty of advanced practice nursing, and the ANP is a more specific concept describing the specialty of nurse practitioners employed in the clinical field.
Family Nurse Practitioners
Family nurse practitioners (FNPs) are employed in primary care. Their main goal is to provide disease prevention and health care promotion services to community populations (Sun et al., 2015). These specialists have specific proficiencies, skills, and competencies to perform their daily tasks in clinical settings. FNPs s ...
The crucial role of nurses in the healthcare system
The report emphasizes the crucial role of nurses in the healthcare system and calls for nurses to take on leadership roles, collaborate with other healthcare professionals, and actively participate in policy-making. It highlights the need for a highly educated nursing workforce and encourages academic institutions to enhance educational programs, promote lifelong learning, and foster inter professional education.
One of the significant recommendations of the report is the advancement of nursing education to achieve higher levels of academic preparation, such as increasing the number of nurses with bachelor’s and doctoral degrees. It also emphasizes the importance of developing a culture of lifelong learning and providing opportunities for nurses to expand their knowledge and skills throughout their careers.
The report recognizes the importance of nursing practice environments that support high-quality care and patient safety. It emphasizes the need for effective teamwork, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the integration of technology in healthcare delivery. It also stresses the importance of evidence-based practice, quality improvement initiatives, and the use of health information technology to enhance patient care.
In terms of leadership, the report highlights the need for nurses to be actively engaged in healthcare leadership positions at all levels, including in healthcare organizations, academic institutions, and policy-making bodies. It calls for increased diversity in nursing leadership and encourages nurses to advocate for changes in policies that promote health equity and access to care.
“The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health” has had a significant impact on the nursing profession. It has influenced policy discussions, led to changes in nursing education programs, and inspired research and innovation in nursing practice. The report continues to serve as a guiding framework for transforming the nursing profession and improving healthcare outcomes for individuals, families, and communities.

Taimi Dudley posted Subscribe
My name is Taimi (pronounced ty-mee). I have worked as a registered nurse with an associate of science degree for over 24 years. Across these years, I have practiced nursing in the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and my home state of Massachusetts, to which I returned two years ago. When I graduated from a hospital-based nursing program, I took a job as a Post-Acute/Rehab Care staff nurse. After two years as a staff nurse, I was promoted to a clinical management position in a Post-Acute Care (PAC) facility. Since then, I have worked in a variety of milieus, including both free-standing and hospital-based facilities and served as a corporate nurse, a traveling nurse, and a private consultant. My nursing specialty has grown exponentially over the years. My role now encompasses reporting to many governmental agencies, on both a state and federal level, and most recently, I am involved in mandated Quarterly Reporting Program (SNF QRP). I am currently working as a Regional Clinical Reimbursement Specialist for a major Post-Acute Care Company.
I have been in the healthcare field since I was a junior in high school, working as a candy striper, certified nursing assistant, and home health aide before becoming an RN. So, I have been both exposed to and used critical thinking for a lot of years. Nevertheless, I am excited to broaden my understanding, experience, and critical thinking skills with new and fresh information on the best practices approach of nurse leaders in today's healthcare environment.
How do you see current trends and changes in healthcare models impacting the delivery of healthcare? In the recent past, the fee for service healthcare trend generated money through the volume of patients or census levels and viewed the patient as a source of revenue. Whereas, the new trend of value-based healthcare has changed healthcare, particularly in my industry of post-acute care. Our patients have now become an expense versus a source of revenue. This change has made it necessary for different types of healthcare providers to stop working in silos and instead communicate and collaborate with care providers across the continuum. Each provider will need to leverage each other’s strengths to provide the best possible outcomes for the patient. Also, with this new value-based payment model system, providers, and doctor’s need to begin to see cradle to grave care within a fixed premium payment.
What is the impact of these trends on your own practice? These emerging trends are having an impact on my industry by implementing electronic medical records (EMR), nurses now char ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Description
There are many policy books, but none are written by APRNs or focus just on APRN practice. This topic is critical in today's
healthcare reform movement. APRNs are at the core, or can be, if they use their practice knowledge and education to shape
policy...[The] editors eloquently make the case that policy formation is a critical nursing skill."--Doody's Medical
Reviews"Gaining a better understanding of the political landscape and its impact on nursing and the APRN practice
environment, by learning through textbooks such as this, and then through active involvement at any level in the political
process itself, can only strengthen nursing and its influence on health policy ." -Loretta C. Ford, RN, EdD, PNP, FAAN, FAANP
3. From the ForewordThis view of health policy from the perspective of APRN practice is a call to action for advanced practice
nurses to learn about the impact and implications of current initiatives in health policy. This knowledge will assist them in
determining how they define and create positive change for their patients and have an impact on community, national, and
world health. This is the only text that satisfies the need for policy discussions for all APNs, it is designed to meet the
requirements of both the IOM report on The Future of Nursing and the DNP criteria V for inclusion of health policy and
advocacy in the curriculum. The text encompasses evolving health care policy and reform in the U.S., Canada, and
internationally, addressing its impact on advanced practice nursing, APRN roles, care for special populations, health care
quality, and patient safety .The book brings together a wealth of information written by luminaries in the field. Dr. Goudreau is
a Past President, and Board Member of the National Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists (NACNS), and Dr. Smolenski was
Director of Certification Services at the ANCC for 11 years, directing certification for 150,000 nurses in over 30 specialties.The
text discusses issues surrounding the regulation of APRNs, how the local regulatory environment shapes their practice and how
they can shape their local regulatory environment. Additionally, the text brings in international perspectives on how APRNs can
and are impacting patient care globally. In order to provide content relevant to a universal APRN readership, each section of
the text endeavors to present information from all four APRN perspectives: NPs, CNSs, CRNAs, and CNMs. For all of these
roles, the book covers the implications of current and future health policy changes for APRN practice.Key Features: Addresses
the role-specific policy informational needs of all APRN roles including NPs, CNSs, CRNAs, and CNMsBrings together in one
volume all of the requisite information about health care policy and reform and its impact on advanced practice nursingMeets
the requirements of the IOM report on The Future of Nursing and the DNP criteria V for inclusion of health policy and advocacy
in the curriculumOffers guidance on how APRNs can influence policy developmentCovers impact and implications of health care
