Improving Patient Rounds (IPR): Medical College of Georgia/Georgia HealthPicker Institute, Inc.
Principal investigator: Walter J. Moore, MD, Center for Patient- and Family-Centered Care
The IPR project will initiate patient- and family-centered- care rounds in adult medical and surgical rounds. Project will initially follow and measure improvement of one service team, practicing patient- and family-centered rounds, on the inpatient medicine unit, with attention to patient, family, staff and physician satisfaction; unit costs; resident and unit efficiency; and quality and safety. Educational effectiveness and team performance in PFCC rounds will also be evaluated through student/faculty culture survey (pre/post), written evaluations, student debriefing and videotaped session(s). Project results include identifying steps and strategies applicable to other adult-care units, and discovering and overcoming specific obstacles in PFCC rounds. Results will be developed into a blueprint for use in MCG units and other institutions.

SWOT Assignment – CSUSB
Purpose:
In this assignment you will apply what you have learned from Chapters 2 and 3 by conducting a SWOT analysis of CSUSB.
Instructions
1. Use the layout template provided in the assignment details. Save it as a Word document and submit it to Blackboard.
2. Begin by populating the Strengths section of your chart. Identify what you perceive to be the strengths of CSUSB as compared to other universities. For example, answering the following questions should provide you with a start, but this list is not meant to be exhaustive:
a. What advantages does CSUSB have that others don’t have?
b. What does CSUSB do better than anyone else?
c. What resources can CSUSB access?
d. What do other people see as the strengths of CSUSB?
e. What accomplishments should CSUSB be most proud of?
f. What are the values of CSUSB and are they a strength or a weakness?
g. What is the reputation/brand of CSUSB and is it a strength or a weakness?
3. Continue to fill in the other three sections in your chart by:
a. Identifying the weaknesses of CSUSB compared to other universities.
b. Identifying opportunities that exist or will exist in the future (think environmental scan from Chapter 3) that CSUSB might be well positioned to take advantage of.
c. Identifying threats that exist or will exist in the future (again, think environmental scan from Chapter 3) that CSUSB will need to take steps to address in order to avoid.
4. Follow the layout example below. Use well written, bulleted sentences and make sure that you provide clear support for each of your bullet points. For example, you cannot simply state that the school has a good/bad reputation without providing a sentence or two to support your position.
RECOMMENDING AN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE CHANGE
WALDEN UNIVERSITY

Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change
My Facilityl is focused on providing quality healthcare to all patients regardless of their differences.
The facility is has a culture of embracing change as long as it helps in improving the patients’ health outcomes.
However, since our hospital is a community-based health service facility, there are some of things that need to be changed.
The healthcare facility offers cancer services including screening and management services. Screening is offered to the community occasionally when the facility organizes cancer awareness where they get more cancer professionals from other hospitals to help provide screening services to the people.
Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change
The problem facing the healthcare facility currently is the lack of cancer screening awareness among the community members and enough oncologists.
Cancer screening services require advanced technology and machines to ensure detection and diagnosis of cancer.
Cancer is one of the top diseases causing high mortality rates around the world presently.
The federal and national government are the .
The concept is at the very core of everything we do: the best health care products are those that help the most people by providing the greatest benefit. Those products should result from clinical trials that include the diverse and representative populations who need them most. It sounds simple, but it’s not. The fact is that while people of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds make up nearly 40% of the U.S. population -- and are disproportionally impacted by chronic conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, they are still heavily under-represented in the clinical trials process. Women are likewise under-represented.
These gaps exacerbate existing health equity challenges by curbing access to life-changing and life-saving treatments for some, while limiting insights into how different groups respond to new therapies. So we are doing something to close those gaps. Right now. By launching an initiative to drive diversity in research and improve care among under-represented populations, we are working to advance health equity and make access a crucial aspect of product innovation, two key aspects of Abbott's 2030 Sustainability Program. The medical therapies we develop can only be as strong and inclusive as the people who design, develop and participate in our clinical trials. Their involvement will benefit all.
As part of the 4th Annual Early Age Onset CRC Summit theNational Colorectal Cancer Roundtable (NCCRT) Family History and Early Onset Task Group hosted a Special Symposium focused on the importance of Family Health History for colorectal cancer, including advanced adenomas, and its importance in preventing colorectal cancer. The Symposium included presentations on the current challenges and opportunities surrounding ascertainment and documentation of actionable family health history information in primary care.

On a daily basis, healthcare providers are faced with an array of clinical decisions to be made in an efficient and timely manner. Translating evidence into best practices is one way to achieve this. Without current best evidence, practice is rapidly outdated, often to the detriment of the patient. Evidence based practice is the conscientious use of current best practice in making decisions about patient care (Sackett, Richardson, Rosenberg, & Hayes, 2000). It is important for health care professionals to ask questions about their current clinical practice. In this week’s threaded discussion you will ask that burning question that you ask in your daily care of your patients.
You’ll need to focus on asking the right questions, narrowing the questions to one that is nurse driven and the need for change is evident. The question that you formulate will be the question for your Capstone Project.
The process of reviewing scholarly articles for a change in practice is an important part of the development of any type of research project that can lead to a change in practice. As you are appraising the systematic review and other scholarly articles for your change project, think about areas of the article such as sample size, the population, type of study, discussion and limitations. Critiquing a research article will allow you to evaluate the scientific merit of the study and decide how the results may be useful in practice.

Hello Professor and Classmates,
Nurses are called to rely on current research to guide evidence-based practice. The research on a topic can be vast and contradictory. Traditional reviews of the evidence are no longer appropriate. The information sifting called for with the wealth of information available is too great a task. The reviewer needs guidelines to ensure bias is minimized and th.

Demonstrating Mastery of Evidence-Based Practice
Introduction
The American Nurses Association (ANA) has a reading room where nurses and consumers can read a variety of position statements. One position statement discusses the expectation that "at the baccalaureate level, education for research prepares nurses to read research critically and to use existing standards to determine the readiness of research for utilization in clinical practice" (American Nursing Association, 2006, p. 8). Developing a project proposal that requires students to critically appraise research and addresses clinical problems through a well-developed solution is a means by which professional studies students at Grand Canyon University meet this expectation and demonstrate mastery of baccalaureate essential skills.
Completion of the capstone experience is evidence that students are able to more fully participate in research and evidence-based practices through their ability to:
Identify clinical problems requiring investigation
Utilize evidence-based literature to answer clinical questions
Critically analyze and critique qualitative studies
Critically analyze and critique quantitative studies
Critically synthesize the literature to make best practice decisions
Assist novice nurses, peers, and interdisciplinary health care workers to utilize evidence-based literature and synthesize research information
Influence the selection of appropriate methods of data collection
Collect data, evaluate data, disseminate findings, and implement best practices in a wide variety of patient care settings
Diffusion of Innovation
Vital information regarding best practices may be disseminated to a broad community of nurses, but it does not necessarily mean nurses will apply the knowledge. What, therefore, is the next step? One theory to consider is diffusion of innovations, originally proposed by Rogers in 1962 (Rogers, 2003). Rogers (2003) postulates that adopters of any new innovation or idea can be categorized based on a bell curve. The categories are: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. Awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption influences an adopter's willingness and ability to adopt a new innovation.
Each category has characteristics that help managers, educators, and researchers determine if someone is ready to adopt a new innovation. As the predictable pattern suggests, innovation will first be accepted and integrated into practice first by early adopters, then by the majority.
Cochrane Collaboration
The Cochrane Collaboration is a great example of dedicated health professionals committed to researching, synthesizing, and disseminating best evidence for providing best practices to help health care workers guide practice. It is the longest running electronic publication in health care.
Cochrane was instrumental in making it known that health care prac.
