DISCUSS HOW SOCIAL MEDIA CAN IMPACT THE PRESENT AND FUTURE OUTLOOK ON HEALTH CARE ANALYTICS.

Healthcare Analytics; Regulations, Clinical Quality, and Patient Safety
As many healthcare facilities seek to implement analytical patient quality and clinical value in collaboration with electronic health record management. Automated algorithms are capable of sifting through thousands of patient records to identify potential clinical errors and systematically measure patient safety in ways never before anticipated (Davenport, 2014). Discuss how social media can impact the present and future outlook on health care analytics.
Guided Response: Review your peers’ posts and provide a substantive response to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7. A substantive response is a respectful, professional, and unique response that is at least five sentences in length and incorporates the following:

Highlights the key points of what you have learned from your peer’s post.
Adds your content knowledge.
Compares and contrasts.
Provides further research.
Is topic-related.

Monitor the forum through Day 7 to allow for robust dialogue.

Discuss how the master’s prepared nurse (depending upon the chosen track) can promote improvement in clinical quality outcomes and patient safety by incorporating proactive interventions that identify potential hospital acquired conditions (HAC). Be specific in the answer.

250 WORDS 2 REFERENCES WITHIN 5 YEARS (NURSING JOURNALS ONLY!! IN TEXT CITATIONS ARE A MUST!!

Since October 1, 2008, hospitals no longer receive additional payment for cases in which certain select conditions (e.g., foreign object obtained after surgery, urinary tract infection (UTI) were not present on admission.

Clinical inquiry

Purpose: Discussion class 505 .Unit 1

Things to remember:

Discussion post is at least 200 words.

Answers all questions with opinions/ideas creatively and clearly. Supports post using several outside, peer-reviewed sources.

3 References, try to find resources that are 5 years or less

No errors with APA format 6thEdition

To Discuss:

Clinical inquiry will be expressed in the PICOT format (review your text on this):

· Population

· Intervention

· Comparison

· Outcome

· Time

In order to avoid going insane, it is a good idea to use your practice setting as a starting place. Think about some of the things that you do and why you do them. Is there a better way? Are your patient’s experiencing outcomes that are less than optimal? Might there be more effective interventions?

Elements of your PICOT should be narrow and specific. For example: for population, using MedSurg patients is much too general. Be specific. A good example of a specific population would be geriatric patients status post total knee replacement.

https://kaplan.brightspace.com/content/enforced/39849-042-1705C-MN504-01-2316289/topic%202.jpg?_&d2lSessionVal=XTm6OlZv3ngt2oMPvPGURYfky

After you have identifed your clinical inquiry, you need to look for any evidence you can find (at the library) to support the practice or on which to base a practice change. Post your PICOT and evidence by Sunday night.

Please–no topics involving patient falls or handwashing, unless of course these are a VERYserious issue at your practice sight.

Keep in mind that your clinical inquiry will be refined and even possibly change completely during the course of this term. It does not have to be perfect this week. I will give you feedback on your Unit 1 Discussion Topic 2 in order to help get you off on the right track.

WHY ARE VACCINATIONS NECESSARY COMPONENTS OF THE HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS?

Mary’s one year old daughter is due to be given the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine during her next visit to the doctor. Mary is upset and concerned because one of her friend’s sons became ill after a similar vaccination. She has also heard rumors that MMR vaccine causes rubella. Mary was also told that her daughter will need to be vaccinated before Mary returns to work. Mary is not alone. Many parents face this issue. Therefore, it is important for Mary and all such parents to make decisions that are best for their children, based on facts and not emotions. Place yourself in the role of a health care worker, submit to the discussion area your plan to validate the importance of vaccination by addressing the following questions:

Why are vaccinations necessary components of the healthcare programs?
Are there reasons for people not being vaccinated despite of such elaborate healthcare programs? Explain.
What are the consequences of people not being vaccinated?
What is the impact of religious, cultural, legal, and ethical issues that parents need to consider before vaccination?
What type of information will help the parents make an informed decision about vaccinating their children?

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Your initial posting should be addressed at 150-300 words. Submit your document to this Discussion Area by the due date assigned. Be sure to cite your sources using APA format.

select a theory of nursing that fits with your understanding of effective nursing values and practices.

n this assignment, you are to select a theory of nursing that fits with your understanding of effective nursing values and practices. Prepare a thorough review of the theory, including a discussion of how this theory will guide your planning to implement the theory in your work as a nurse, will inform you anticipation of barriers to implementation and will assist you in creating a plan to evaluate the effectiveness of care provided while employing this theory.(Imogene king’s theory of goal attainment)

Use the following process to guide your work:

Select one nursing theory that is useful to your practice setting.
Research the literature for refereed journal articles (include current, classic – by theorist, and relevant scholarly sources) that discuss the use of the theory in practice. Use a sufficient number of scholarly sources in your paper, but at least five.
Critically review the nursing theory and develop a plan for how you would utilize this theory in your practice. Be sure to include thoughts related to holistic spiritual nursing care. (Use Chapter 3 of Smith & Parker to review theory.)
In a 6-8 page (not including the title and reference pages, no abstract required for this paper) 6th edition APA paper using spelling/grammar following APA guidelines:
Introduction (Overview, purpose, your rationale for selecting the nursing theory, and plan for paper)
Synthesis of selected nursing theory
Examine the nursing theory’s components
Design plan for implementing nursing theory into practice
Anticipate potential barriers/challenges to implementation
Create plan for evaluating the effectiveness of care provided using this nursing theory
Construct examples.

Fit a multiple regression model, testing whether a moderating variable affects the relationship between the predictor and the outcome variable

Question Description

Based on the research question you created, complete the following tasks:

  • Fit a multiple regression model, testing whether a moderating variable affects the relationship between the predictor and the outcome variable. Think about whether or not the model will meet assumptions.
  • Fit the model, testing for moderation between two key variables.
  • Analyze the output, determining whether moderation was significant and how to interpret that result.
  • Reflect on possible implications of social change.

Write 2-paragraph analysis in APA format that includes your data output and addresses each of the tasks listed above. See pages 641 and 642 in your Warner textbook for an excellent APA-compliant write-up of a moderation analysis.

This is the research question

The research question: “Does the hours of work every week, the level of education and the hours of TV watching every day has a significant effect on income?”
