HCM 440 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Healthcare administrators, managers, and executives are responsible for planning, directing, and coordinating health services at various levels for the
populations they serve. Interpreting research is integral to the role of a healthcare professional, especially when conducting a needs assessment for program
planning.
In this course, you will choose a clinical area of interest related to healthcare administration and create an annotated bibliography. For your final assessment,
you will compose an integrated review. In this review, you will discuss the criteria necessary for inclusion or exclusion in the research study, critique the quality
of each study, and present a synthesis of the results.
This integrated review will address the following course outcomes:
1. Critique ethical issues in healthcare research for their influence on compliance with rules and regulations
2. Evaluate basic research strategies applicable to healthcare settings for informing research proposals
3. Assess the appropriateness of utilizing secondary databases in healthcare research as an alternative to conducting original research
4. Justify the selection of specific data analysis methodology in published healthcare research for informing healthcare research methodology
5. Select healthcare administration issues to research in validating the need for program evaluation
Prompt
Using the six peer-reviewed literature articles from your annotated bibliography, compose an integrated review that focuses on a clinical issue of interest.
Ensure that the topic of this integrated review is viewed from the perspective of a healthcare professional who is looking to validate the need for program
evaluation at your hospital, even if your annotated bibliography was not this focused.
Specifically, your integrated review should focus on the following critical elements:
I. Abstract
Craft a well-drafted abstract. Be sure to adhere to the guidelines from the latest edition of the American Psychological Association’s style guide. Consider
the appropriate length for your audience.
II. Introduction
a) State the purpose, aims, or objectives of the integrated review. What do you wish to achieve through the drafting of this review? Be explicit in
your answer.
b) Introduce the topic of interest. Why is this topic the focus of the review?
c) What is the research question you are going to focus on? If you were to prepare a research proposal, what would your hypothesis be? Why?
d) What variables are of interest to you? How will these variables help you throughout this integrated review? Be sure to label the types of
variables each of these are.
e) Discuss the background and significance of the problem to healthcare administration.
III. Literature Search
a) What keywords and combinations were used in the initial search? Which were the most effective? Explain why these keywords and

Title of Paper
Introduction to topic that gives the audience and idea of what you will be discussing in the paper. This should be a brief paragraph that provides an overview of the key points that will be addressed. This section should be concluded with a purpose statement. The purpose of this paper is …consider the intent of the application and list all requirements.
Research Methodologies
Discuss the attributes of quantitative and qualitative research methods and compare/contrast the type of information you can obtain from both types of research. Make sure you are referencing the course learning materials as well as some external references. You should have a minimum of three course learning resource references and two credible external references. Remember that web sites are only considered credible if they end in .gov, .edu, or .org.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Discuss the reality that there are advantages and disadvantages to both types of research.
Quantitative Research
Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of quantitative research. When is it helpful and when is it not helpful. Consider things like type of information that you are seeking, ethics, time needed to complete, etc.
Qualitative Research
Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of quantitative research. When is it helpful and when is it not helpful. Consider things like type of information that you are seeking, ethics, time needed to complete, etc. Also, make sure you address the argument that qualitative research is not real science. Is this true? Why or why not? What value does qualitative research have in nursing practice?
Summary
Write a one paragraph summary of the main points of the paper. This is not an area for adding new information. That should be in the body of your paper. Do not forget to appropriately cite in references in this section too. This is a good place to pull in your course learning resources again.

Marketing has never been more interesting than now. The Internet and other new digital technologies are not only transforming the practice of marketing but also the way we think about it (Wymbs 2011). The main benefit of marketing automation is that it can help businesses grow sales and increase brand awareness by maximizing their email contact lists, streamlining processes for lead generation with automated forms or emails, as well as executing personalized campaigns based on information about a prospect's needs. Today, consumers have more choices, more services, more media, more messages, and more digital conversations than ever. Digital-driven changes are not only affecting private consumer’s behavior

Project Description
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
Write this the same, without question putting it like this, (with the data of us..)
This project will be completed through a literature review. This will be carried out through Google Scholar, CINHAL, Ana G. Mendez Virtual Libraries, WorldCat, PubMed, Internet database. The research will be peer reviewed. A minimum 30 articles of no more than 5 years will be reviewed. I will use some keywords for my search like: Probiotic, Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia, ICU, conventional methods.
The results obtained from the study will contribute to determine if the probiotic use in prevention of ventilator associated pneumonia is more effective than the conventional method, with a more cost-effective result.
All information collected in this review will be kept in a locked dresser in the principal investigator's office for a period of 5 years. Both, the principal investigator and the mentor will have access to this material. After this time (5 years), the data will be eliminated with a paper shredder and discarded.
Project Evaluation Results
Summarize tables with all citation will be presented in appendix A&B; appendix A will be used for the summary of primary research evidence, and appendix B will be used for the summary of the systematic reviews.
Appendix A will include the citation, question or hypothesis, and theoretical foundation, research designated and sample size, key findings, recommendations or implica.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen

Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

9. 1) TITLE:
1) Title should correctly represent the content and breadth of the study reported and
should not be misleading. For example “comparative evaluation of Propofol –
Ketamine and Propofol Fentanyl in minor Surgery”. On reading the title, we cannot
know the content and breadth of the study; whether dosage, duration, efficiency,
and sequalae, of two group are studied or not whether they are studied as only
induction agents or as sole anaesthetic agents; what group of patients? None of the
information can be had from this title.
2) It should be clear, concise, and informative. It should contain keywords that
capture attention of the reader. No abbreviations are used in the title.
The decision to read an article often rests on the appeal of its title. A More
appropriate title could be –“Comparative evaluation of efficiency of Propofol –
Ketamine and Propofol – Fentanyl combination as sole anaesthetic agents in patients
undergoing minor
Ambulatory gynecological operations”.

INTRODUCTION
Funnel Approach
General statement pertaining to research work
What all is known on research area
What are the lacunae
What do we want
to do & why ?
Key Message:
What is known?
What are the lacunae?
What do we propose to do to fill the gap?
14. 4) INTRODUCTION AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
8) The goal or purpose of the study is clearly stated. The introduction should contain detailed
information about the problem being studied, and about the specific research
question/hypothesis.
9) Four or five pertinent publications related to the problem should be presented and critiqued.
No data or conclusions are to be reported.
10) Do not review the literature extensively.
11) The pertinence of the study is presented, in relation to the current theories and methods
associated with the problem. The existing gaps in the knowledge or conflicting data is to be
highlighted.
12) A general overview of the study is presented. Over view serves as organiser for the sections
to follow to the reader.
Motivation for Life Academy by Dr Khalid B.M 14
15. 5) MATERIAL AND METHOD:
13) The selection of the subjects for the study has to be described clearly. Inclusion and
exclusion criteria are to be mentioned with method of allocation to groups.
14) The research design is to be described in detail. Research design is the plan that is
chosen to answer the research question. The methods, apparatus and procedures are to
be identified in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results, if
necessary.
15) Give references of all the methods used in the study including statistical methods.
16) Identify precisely all drugs and chemicals used, including generic names, doses and
routes of administration.
17) Methods of elimination of errors viz blinding, introduction of control group and
placebo, randomization etc are to be mentioned distinctly.
Motivation for Life Academy by Dr Khalid B.M 15
16. 18) The measurement instrument including its psychometric qualities is described clearly. The
psychometric qualities include validity, reliability, objectivity and precision. An example of the
instrument should be gives in the text or in an appendix. For example in the above mentioned study,
if ‘home readiness’ is intended to be studied, the ‘Post
Anaesthetic Discharge scoring system’ (PADS) utilised in the study has to be a reliable, and an
accepted one for its objectivity and precision.
19) The data collection procedure is to be clearly described.
20) The setting in which the study took place is described. This information is useful to the reader in
deciding whether results can be applied to his/her setting.
21) The data analysis procedures are stated in precise terms.
Motivation for Life Academy by Dr Khalid B.M 16
17. 6) RESULTS:
22) Present your results in logical sequence in the text, tables and
illustrations. Do not repeat in the text all the data, in the tables or
illustrations.
23) Emphasize or summarise important observations. Results section
should contain only actuals, and no opinions.
24) All the patients included in the study should be accounted for. There
should not be any hesitation in reporting any negative or unexpected
result.
Motivation for Life Academy by Dr Khalid B.M 17
18. 7) DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION:
25) The discussion should cover all the debatable aspects of the study. The discussion can go beyond
the results obtained and can cover methodological and the critical issues. The discussion should not
be misused as a platform to state opinions. Readers should not be side tracked in to another topic.
26) Relate the observations to the other relevant studies. Bring out similarities and conflicts.
27) The new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions drawn are to be emphasized.
The implications of the findings and their limitations are to be discussed. For example if you find
that Propofol – kelamine combination fared well except that there was ‘excitatory phenomenon’ of
Ketamine observed in these group of patients, this limitation has to be mentioned without fail.
Motivation for Life Academy by Dr Khalid B.M 18
19. 28) Scope and need for future additional research is to be discussed.
29) Link conclusions with goals of the study but avoid unqualified statements and
conclusions not supported by your data.
30) State new hypothesis when warranted. Recommendations when appropriate may
be included. For eg Propofol does not have any effect on excitatory phenomenon
associated with Ketamine.
31) The conclusions and practical outcomes of the study should commensurate with
the design used and results obtained. The conclusions and recommendations made
should not go beyond the limits of the study conducted i.e. should not over generalize
the design and sample used. Suppose the haemodynamics were stable in Ketamine-
Propofol group as compared to Propofol – Fentanyl group, one should not generative
that the combination is recommended for patients with cardiovascular diseases.
Motivation for Life Academy by Dr Khalid B.M 19
20. 8) REFERENCES:
32) This is the most disturbing aspect amongst the Indian publications. It is a wrong notion amongst
Indian authors that providing a long list of references increases the validity (of their article) which is
wrong. References are to be written correctly with due care. Correct abbreviated, accepted names, of
the journals to be mentioned. The number of references should journals specify the number of
references to be included in a particular type of study.
33) Avoid using ‘abstracts’ as references. The references must be verified by the author against the
original documents.
34) The references are presented according to standard rules of publication as specified by a
particular journal. For eg, whether Vancour style or Harward style is followed.
9) General Considerations
35) The various sections of the paper are clearly identifiable and appropriate. The content of each
section should correspond to the subtitle used, for instance, there is no ‘Discussion’ in the ‘Results’
section. The transition from one section to next should be easy to follow.
Motivation for Life Academy by Dr Khalid B.M 20
21. 36) The terminology has to be uniform throughout the paper. For eg. Abbreviations should be consistent
and units of measurements should be the same in the text as in tables.
37) The writing style has to be clear and pleasant. There should not be spelling mistakes. Special care is
needed in following British Vs American spellings. Text is, generally written is passive voice. Uniform
‘tense’ has to be used.
38) Follow the instructions of the journal, you are writing regarding tables, graphs illustrations, the text
matter, type of manuscripts etc. to be used in the article.
39) Follow the ethical guidelines strictly as specified by ICMJE. If there is confusion as what is ethical
and what non ethical is and there is no ethical committee to guide, ‘a self-test’ may be employed. Ask
yourself whether you will be conducting the similar study on your kith and kin. If yes, go ahead with
your study.
40) All the direct and indirect help in the study has to be acknowledged, without fail. Editors and
referees ……………………. but are busy people whose humanitarian instincts should not be abused;
and it is better for all concerned if authors try to submit papers that are in good working order.
