BUSI 201
Article Review Instructions
Rationale:
The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize you with the ethical implications of the use of data as it related to this course. You must also demonstrate your ability to communicate effectively in writing with your audience.
Requirements:
1. Submit a 3-page analysis of an article that cites an example of unethical behavior as related to corporate or an individual’s behavior in the use of technology/data or unethical manipulation of such. Your analysis should include a summary of the article, your analysis of the ethical problem presented in the article, and how the topic relates to a biblical world view. The ethical problem should be clearly stated. Do not assume that your summary makes the ethical problem self-evident.
2. Article Selection: It is recommended that you choose a topic that is related to your major; however, the topic must incorporate technology. This should be a specific event, not an article such as “Five Ways Companies are Unethical with Data”. Such an article may be a good starting place but will not be sufficient for this assignment. The article will be current – from within the past 3 years. You can likely find an example from as recent as this week/month. As this may be a news article, be sure that you are using a valid source of news. You should find multiple sources reporting the same information to ensure that your assessment of the reporting is accurate. Feel free to cite from these additional sources as well as your main article.
3. Biblical Worldview: You will include at least two biblical references in your analysis.
4. Use APA format, including in-text citations and a reference page.
Write a one-paragraph (approx. 200 words) reflection on this week’s discussion in Zoom. Your reflection should include:

  • your key takeaways from the discussion
  • what your contribution has been to the discussion
  • what you have learned from the discussion
  • refer to at least one specific example from the discussion

While this is an informal assignment, you should write in complete sentences and pay attention to grammar and style.
You will find the topic, assigned readings, and preliminary instructions for this week’s discussion topic in the class announcement titled “Week 12-Discussion.”
The Announcement also contains the editable Google Doc file with your group’s answers.
You will be graded both on your group discussion document (5 pts) and on your reflection (5 pts). The maximum points possible is 10.
Scoring Rubric for Discussions (10 points total) and the total will be entered under your discussion-reflection assignment.

Using Health Information Technology as a Source of Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing
Before the digital revolution, health information technology supplied very limited support for evidence-based practice. If nurses wanted to be informed about cutting-edge research, their best bet was to either subscribe to leading journals or make periodic trips to the library. With the establishment of research databases, however, nurses became empowered to learn about and facilitate interdisciplinary and translational research. Databases are just one example of how health information technology supports evidence-based practice.
ORDER A CUSTOM-WRITTEN PAPER NOW
To prepare:

  • Read the following scenario from the text (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2015, p. 445):

Twelve-hour shifts are problematic for patient and nurse safety, and yet hospitals continue to keep the 12-hour shift schedule. In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (Board on Health Care Services & Institute of Medicine, 2004) published a report that referred to studies as early as 1988 that discussed the negative effects of rotating shifts on intervention accuracy. Workers with 12-hour shifts realized more fatigue than workers on 8-hour shifts. In another study done in Turkey by Ilhan, Durukan, Aras, Turkcuoglu, and Aygun (2006), factors relating to increased risk for injury were age of 24 or less, less than 4 years of nursing experience, working in the surgical intensive care units, and working for more than 8 hours.

  • Consider how the resources identified in the scenario above could influence an organization’s practice.
  • Select an issue in your practice that is of concern to you. Using health information technology, locate at least three evidence-based practice resources that address your concern and that could possibly inform further action.

Question:
Post a description of your practice concern. Outline how you used health information technology to locate evidence-based practices that address this concern. Cite and include insights from the resources. Analyze how health information technology supports evidence-based practice.
 

Details: 

The field of nursing has changed over time. In a 750-1,000 word   paper, discuss nursing practice today by addressing the following:

  1. Explain how nursing practice has changed over time and how     this evolution has changed the scope of practice and the approach to     treating the individual.
  2. Compare and contrast the     differentiated practice competencies between an associate and     baccalaureate education in nursing. Explain how scope of practice     changes between an associate and baccalaureate nurse.
  3. Identify a patient care situation and describe how nursing care,     or approaches to decision-making, differ between the BSN-prepared     nurse and the ADN nurse.
  4. Discuss the significance of     applying evidence-based practice to nursing care and explain how the     academic preparation of the RN-BSN nurse supports its   application.
  5. Discuss how nurses today communicate and collaborate with     interdisciplinary teams and how this supports safer and more     effective patient outcomes.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA   Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.c

Case Study

Learning Outcomes: Demonstrate general understanding of:

  • Leader-Member Exchange.
  • Goal Setting.
  • Adult Development, equity, expectancy of motivation, and path goal theories.
  • Outline and discuss a practical strategy to manage personal conflict.
  • Understand how personal conflict affects the whole organization.

Scenario:

  • Mark is a tenured Sergeant. He is seen by his peers and followers to be a rising leader who will be at the top of the candidate pool for the next promotional exam. During an operational meeting, he questions his Captain about a new policy, citing operational complication issues, and identifies potential litigation issues.  Several people seemed surprised by his reaction to the new policy and how he addressed the Captain. After the meeting, he is asked why he would attack a Captain’s pet project. Mark was surprised by this response to his questioning of the policy. He did not intend to upset anyone and immediately began to track down the Captain to explain that his only objective was to seek out the best possible outcome.
  • The Captain reassures Mark that everything is fine. Shortly thereafter, Mark takes the Lieutenant exam, administered by the same Captain, and is later advised that he is not one of the many selections that were made. Upon feedback by many peers, his responses to the interview seemed to beat his competitors. He requests a feedback interview with the Captain and is told that the process is competitive and while he was close, he was beat out by the other applicants.
  • A few months pass. Mark’s specialty position has been absorbed by another team and he is rotated back to patrol. A peer tells Mark that he’s got a bullseye on his back for what he did to the Captain and he should tread carefully.
  • Mark is distraught as he attempts to remedy what he soon believes to be a futile situation. He makes every effort to get a meeting with the Captain for a potential remedy, but the Captain ignores him and does not give Mark a meeting.
  • Mark has always been a high-performer and has never been in trouble.  More importantly, he’s never experienced work stress caused by a superior until now.  This and the events of the situation start impacting his performance.  He seems to be fatigued during his work, his reports are constantly being returned for errors, his communication skills take a turn and his standards of appearance start failing.

Assessing the Situation: 

  • Mark decides to reach out to you, Chief Jones, who served as his FTO nearly 16 years ago. You have been with the agency for the last 28 years, hold good credibility with the personnel and the community and are known to be deliberate with your leadership and known for your high level of integrity.
  • During the meeting Mark describes the situation and dissatisfaction with the Captain’s behavior.  In doing that he tells you “…I feel the Captain is a Toxic leader and he knows it.  I want to make you aware of that although I love what I do for the agency and care for all we do for our community together.  I do not want to be a part of an agency that tolerates such behavior.  I have decided to pursue my MBA at the Tango University and take care of myself.  I will continue serving this agency until I finish my degree and pursue a career with Corporate Security upon graduation.”
  • After the meeting, you meet with the Captain who tells you that Mark has an attitude and he needs to get over it, continue doing good work and wait his turn.

Resolution:
As a Chief,

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.


From the ‘Resources’ section, read Parts II and III–Chapters 10 – 20 of “What is a Disaster” by Perry & Quarantelli (eds.).  

Assignment: Provide an approximate 1500-word document analyzing important concepts in the readings. Ensure your apply the discussion tenets from the contributors to you work including the work of Barton, Boin, Buckle, Smith, Stallings, Perry, and Quarantelli.  Assume that you are writing for an uninformed reader that knows nothing about the topic and has not read what you read. Provide an introduction that gives the background of the resource that you are reviewing, so the reader will understand what they’re reading and why. Include the following topics in the discussion:

– Discuss the relationship between disaster and stress including the difference between individual and collective stress, and why is it important?

–  Discuss Stallings theses; analyze and discuss how various contributors add and detract from his work? Which criticisms are valid and which not?

– Provide an analysis of the discussions throughout the readings (Barton, Boin, Buckle, Smith, Stallings, Perry, and Quarantelli).

– Discuss how Stallings work inform the future research that is still required? What would be the value of that research?

DO NOT list out the topics or questions and answer them. They are not meant to be all-inclusive, and your reader will not understand the context. Rather, give an overview of the author’s entire body of work, using the topics as guidelines. Ensure that you meet or exceed the 1500-word target, and that your paper meets APA presentation requirements.
