You are required to write a critical analysis of the disease of your choice.

Included in this analysis, you will need to explain how the disease you chose

affects the various body systems where relevant.

The following relevant and concise information must (if pertinent) be included in your write up.

▪ Name of disease

▪ History of the disease

▪ Description of disease

Anatomy of the system(s) involved

▪ Effects on other body systems

▪ Cause of disease

▪ Signs and symptoms

▪ Diagnosis of the disease

▪ Complications, if any

▪ Treatment and side effects

Conclusion should include the following:

▪ Brief mention of current or proposed research that may significantly impact the

▪ disease.

▪ Prevention strategies if any

▪ Your insight / opinion

NOTE: you must focus on the anatomy & physiology of the disease/disorder. Cover the normal anatomy & physiology of the organ system affected and then state what the disease/disorder does to this organ system, and other organ systems. In other words, if you are picking tuberculosis, I do not want you to go too much in detail about the bacteria that causes it but how the bacteria escape our body’s defenses and what the bacteria do to the lungs, bones, etc.

Disseminating Results

/in /by

The dissemination of EBP results serves multiple important roles. Sharing results makes the case for your decisions. It also adds to the body of knowledge, which creates opportunities for future practitioners. By presenting results, you also become an advocate for EBP, creating a culture within your organization or beyond that informs, educates, and promotes the effective use of EBP. 

To Prepare: Review the final PowerPoint presentation you submitted in Module 5, and make any necessary changes based on the feedback you have received and on lessons you have learned throughout the course.  Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience. 

To Complete:

Create a 5-minute, 5- to 6-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation of your Evidence-Based Project. Be sure to incorporate any feedback or changes from your presentation submission in Module 5. Explain how you would disseminate the results of your project to an audience. Provide a rationale for why you selected this dissemination strategy.

The Clinical Issue and Research Questions Developed Using PICOT

/in /by

 PICOT is an acronym used to help develop clinical research questions and guide you in your search for evidence: 

P = Patient population
I = Intervention or issue of interest
C = Comparison of interventions or comparison of interests
O = Outcome
T = Time frame
For example, you may wish to research the effects of interrupted sleep on cognition of ICU patients 65 or older.
Using this PICOT model, 
In _________(P), how does __________ (I) compared to _________ (C) influence _________ (O) over ________ (T)?
In ICU patients who are 65 or older, how does interrupted sleep (awakened one time or more in four hours) as compared to uninterrupted sleep influence the patient’s cognitive ability over 5 days?

Assignment Directions
Begin by selecting a topic in nursing or medicine that is of interest to you. Next, use PICOT to format possible research questions about that topic. Provide 3 possible PICOT research questions.
Include the following:
Title page 
Provide a brief description of the topic and background information. 
Explain the significance of the topic to nursing practice. 
Provide 3 clearly stated PICOT questions. 
Your paper should: 
Be 2–3 pages (not including the title page and reference page)
Use current APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources.

Section 5

To prepare:

Review your work on the Course Project thus far, particularly Sections 3 and 4.

Think about how your quality improvement initiative could be evaluated. Consider the following:

Which stakeholders need information related to this initiative? What do they need this information for?

How would you assess the outcomes in the short-term and long-term?

How would you analyze related processes, including but not limited to the one you redesigned in Section 4?

How should an analysis of organizational structures be integrated into your evaluation?

How would you identify and evaluate any unintended consequences that may arise?

What metrics should the organization use to gauge progress and the effectiveness of the quality improvement initiative? How would these metrics incorporate the measures and indicators that you identified in Section 3? Are there additional measures and indicators that you now think should be included?

How should the organization track and display data for an interdisciplinary audience? How could the use of a dashboard or balanced scorecard be of value?

How could the organization create an integrated view of performance that links finance and quality?

To complete:

Develop a 2- to 3-page evaluation plan that includes the following:

An outline of the methods that you would propose for evaluating the quality improvement initiative and the financial implications

A description of specific metrics that integrate your previously identified measures and indicators and any others that you have deemed important

A recommendation of how the organization could represent data related to this quality improvement issue for ongoing monitoring and to determine the value or success of the initiative

An explanation of how the organization could create an integrated view of performance that links finance and quality

Section 6

To prepare:

Begin to develop a plan for implementing your quality improvement initiative, including the redesigned process that you identified in Section 3. Consider the following:

How would you undertake the process of determining a timeline for planning, implementing, and evaluating this quality improvement plan?

What are some reasonable milestones for this initiative? What are the daily, weekly, monthly steps/goals?

To complete:

Write a 2- to 3-page summary of your quality improvement action plan.

6053 Discussion 2

/in /by

  

For this week’s Discussion, you identify an issue or process that could be improved and apply knowledge and strategies related to systems theory.

Note: You may find it helpful to view the Assignment instructions and use the same problem for this Discussion.

To prepare:

· Review the information presented in this week’s Learning Resources on systems theory and the difference between open and closed systems.

· Reflect on the practices and processes with which you are familiar in your organization. Identify one problematic issue or process that could be improved.

· Consider the problem from a closed-system perspective. Then think about how the issue or process you selected could be addressed by viewing it from an open-system perspective. How would the transition from a closed- to an open-system view help you and others to address the problem and improve outcomes?

Post a description of the problem that you identified in your selected organization. Explain the problem from a closed-system perspective. Then, describe how the problem could be addressed by viewing it from an open-system perspective, and explain how this modification would help you and others improve health care outcomes.
