List some possible modifications/outcomes that could occur if your chosen piece of equipment were modified in such a way to violate these guidelines.

/in /by

As a Biomedical Equipment Technician, you will be faced with many situations where you are repairing a piece of equipment and might see another way to reassemble or adjust something on the unit.

Remember, this is not allowed! Each piece of equipment has been FDA approved down to the most specific detail in regards to proper function and patient safety. Any unregulated modification of equipment is strictly prohibited and against FDA guidelines and regulations.

To start this discussion:

  • Choose any piece of medical equipment you would like
  • List some possible modifications/outcomes that could occur if your chosen piece of equipment were modified in such a way to violate these guidelines.

Be sure to explain:

  • Why you think a BMET might find it appropriate to modify a piece of equipment in this way.
  • Why this is wrong and a possible alternative solution.

Clinical Decision Support Systems

Clinical Decision Support Systems

Purpose

The ideas and beliefs underpinning the discussions guide students through engaging dialogues as they achieve the desired learning outcomes/competencies associated with their course in a manner that empowers them to organize, integrate, apply and critically appraise their knowledge to their selected field of practice. The ebb and flow of a discussion is based upon the composition of student and faculty interaction in the quest for relevant scholarship.

Activity Learning Outcomes

Through this discussion, the student will demonstrate the ability to:

  • Contribute level-appropriate knowledge and experience to the topic in a discussion environment that models professional and social interaction (CO4)
  • Actively engage in the written ideas of others by carefully reading, researching, reflecting, and responding to the contributions of their peers and course faculty (CO5)

Requirements:

Post a written response in the discussion forum to EACH threaded discussion topic:

  1. This week we learned about the potential benefits and drawbacks to clinical decision support systems (CDSSs). Create a “Pros” versus “Cons” table with a column for “Pro” and a separate column for “Con”. Include at least 3 items for each column. Next to each item, provide a brief rationale as to why you included it on the respective list.
  2. The primary goal of a CDSS is to leverage data and the scientific evidence to help guide appropriate decision making. CDSSs directly assist the clinician in making decisions about specific patients. For this discussion thread post, you are to assume your future role as an APN and create a clinical patient and scenario to illustrate an exemplary depiction of how a CDSS might influence your decision. This post is an opportunity for you to be innovative, so have fun!

Adhere to the following guidelines regarding quality for the threaded discussions in Canvas:

For each threaded discussion per week, the student will select no less than TWO scholarly sources to support the initial discussion post.

Scholarly Sources: Only scholarly sources are acceptable for citation and reference in this course. These include peer-reviewed publications, government reports, or sources written by a professional or scholar in the field. The textbooks and lessons are NOT considered to be outside scholarly sources. For the threaded discussions and reflection posts, reputable internet sources such as websites by government agencies (URL ends in .gov) and respected organizations (often ends in .org) can be counted as scholarly sources. The best outside scholarly source to use is a peer-reviewed nursing journal.  You are encouraged to use the Chamberlain library and search one of the available databases for a peer-reviewed journal article.  The following sources should not be used: Wikipedia, Wikis, or blogs.  These websites are not considered scholarly as anyone can add to these. Please be aware that .com websites can vary in scholarship and quality.  For example, the American Heart Association is a .com site with scholarship and quality.  It is the responsibility of the student to determine the scholarship and quality of any .com site.  Ask your instructor before using any site if you are unsure. Points will be deducted from the rubric if the site does not demonstrate scholarship or quality. Current outside scholarly sources must be published with the last 5 years.  Instructor permission must be obtained BEFORE the assignment is due if using a source that is older than 5 years.

Writing Assignment (Part 2): Outline and Preliminary List of ReferencesDue Week 5 and worth 100 points

Complete the outline after you have done library / Internet research for evidence that bears on your hypothesis.  Provide information about all of the following components of the final paper: 

<!–[if !supportLists]–>1. <!–[endif]–>Specific Hypothesis. 

<!–[if !supportLists]–>2. <!–[endif]–>Applicable Sociological Concepts.

<!–[if !supportLists]–>3. <!–[endif]–>Practical Implications. Discuss the value of sociological research into your issue.  Determine whether or not there are (or would be) practical implications of sociological inquiry into this issue. 

  1. Evidence. This is the most important part of the paper. Analyze  at least two (2) lines of evidence that pertain to the hypothesis that you are evaluating.  Does the evidence support your hypothesis? For each type of evidence, consider possible biases and alternative interpretations. 
  2. Conclusions. Draw conclusions based on the evidence that you have discovered. Does the evidence confirm or refute your hypothesis? Is the evidence sufficiently convincing to draw firm conclusions about your hypothesis?

For example, here is a generic example of what the headings of your possible outline might look like:

<!–[if !supportLists]–>I. <!–[endif]–>Specific Hypothesis.

<!–[if !supportLists]–>II. <!–[endif]–>Applicable Sociological Concepts.
