Assignment: Evidence-Based Capstone Project, Part 6: Disseminating Results

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.

 Respond by offering additional thoughts regarding the  examples shared, Systems Development Life Cycle SDLC-related issues, and  ideas on how the inclusion of nurses might have impacted the example  described by your colleagues.
                                             Initial Post  

Consequences of a Healthcare Organization not Involving Nurses

Nurses are the backbone of healthcare and when they are not involved in the design and decision-making processes of the Systems Development Life Cycle the results can be catastrophic. According to the authors Powell-Cope & Nelson (2008), nurses are the frontline and chief users of electronic health record (EHR) systems, it only makes sense they’d have a major say in EHR design and upgrades. Unfortunately, however, in many facilities, EHR design is left primarily to IT and only minor input is taken into consideration from the nursing staff. When subject matter experts, such as nurses, don’t have autonomy and responsibility within the design process, implementing and utilizing an EHR can take longer because providers are distanced from the outcomes (Powell-Cope & Nelson, 2008). 

Inclusion of Nurses in EHR Design

When nurses are included in technology design, it enables and enhances safety (Hamer & Cipriano, 2013). A study was done in 2009 on early nursing involvement during the implementation of a Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA) system. The authors of this study describe how nurses participated in the early design, planning, implementation, and evaluation phases of the BCMA. The study found that the benefits of early nursing involvement in each phase of BCMA technology greatly outweigh the problems that can arise from early nursing involvement (Weckman & Jansen, 2009). This study found that in order to find success when implementing new technologies, it is essential that nurses be involved throughout all phases of the process. Comments and feedback from nurses provide the necessary clues that are needed to resolve underlying systemic issues and can offer possible resolutions.   

My Personal Input

My current healthcare facility is changing its EHR system to Epic. They have selected a specific team of nurses and nurse informaticists that are currently part of their healthcare team, to design and adapt the Epic program to meet the institution’s requirements. My facility has named their adaptation of the Epic EHR to Elle. The entire healthcare team has been invited to monthly townhouse meetings which involve disclosing the most recent updates made to Elle and team members are also encouraged to provide input on any modifications they would like to add to Elle. As critical nurses, we are excited that we will finally have a charting system that downloads our vital signs electronically. Before Elle, we had to write our vital signs every 15 minutes on each of our two patients. It might not seem like a big deal, but writing vital signs for two patients can take up a considerable amount of time, especially when a patient is unstable and on multiple drips. If nurses were not involved in the EHR design, downloading vital signs might be something that was overlooked again. 

  • A plan detailing the process for fair and effective performance evaluations in your selected organization that must address frequency, rigor, types, consequences or benefits, and evaluation follow through.
  • A brief summary of your organization’s code of ethics, including a discussion about their role in supporting a functioning organization

The organization we are using is the “Department of Transportation.”  I need at least two paragraphs for each bulleted question.
Organize your material in a logical sequence and support your plan using your textbook, peer-reviewed research, and other sources.
Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.

Details:
If you want to email me a question about your assignments I’m happy to troubleshoot remotely. However, if I need to look at your work, upload your assignment to Canvas. IU removes files from email attachments that contain macros/VBA or are zip archives. Also, Excel files with large datasets, pivot tables, Tables, images, and charts tend to get large, so Canvas is the best option.
Assignment:

  1. Obtain the data of your choosing from the internet. This can be sports data, financial data, or any reasonable data set. Keep in mind you will be building some visualizations with this data, so you will want enough rows to work with. You might try data.govwww.espn.com https://finance.google.ca/finance, or https://www.kaggle.com/(Links to an external site.) to get started. Searching for data with bing.com or google.com will also help you find large amounts of data quickly. An alternate option is http://www.generatedata.com/ to generate data. If you still are looking for something interesting you can use this dataset from kaggle.com – VideoGames.csv
  2. Your task will be to build a dashboard that tells me a story about your data. As you are using the Power BI for this assignment, the data you collect mustbe connected to your dashboard using Power Query. This was demonstrated in class. You may link to a web site, or us any variety of local file. If you use a local file, be sure to submit it with your assignment. For this assignment you may use either the Power BI Desktop suite or the web version of Power BI that was demonstrated in class. If you are using the web version, see below for submission instructions.
  3. Create at least three visualizations of your data. The goal is to use a variety of visualizations, so please use three different Each visualization must be concise and informative. Unintelligible or distracting visuals will be graded as incorrect. In doing so, consider the following:
    • Use appropriate chart types for your visualizations.
    • Tables are acceptable, but should be reasonable. Refer to class materials for additional clarification on this.
    • Avoid using charts repeatedly (3 column charts, etc). But again, use appropriate charts. This may help: best-chart.png
    • I will also accept a statistical analysis of your data, though that should not be the only aspect of your analysis. Additionally, format your analysis to add visual appeal.
  4. Provide a brief description of your visualization in a textbox on the accompanying worksheet. Briefly describe what you want your visualization to demonstrate about your data.

The purpose of this application will be for analysis and visualization. While the design of your application and the majority of the analysis tools used will be up to you, there are a few minimum requirements your application must meet.
Requirements:

  • The analysis tool you will use for this assignment is the Power BI Suite (either Desktop or Online). The data you are going to analyze must be added to the Data Model with appropriate relationships. Remember, any relationships you may need can be made in the data model. If the data model detects the relationships, be sure to double check them for accuracy.
  • Include at least one example of a drill down somewhere in your analysis. You may do this in any part of the project you wish.
  • Using Power BI create one or more reasonable calculated fields/columns. If you have multiple tables in your Data Model, be sure to create corresponding relationships. Remember to review the DAX functions for this step.
    OR:
    Include at least one example of a time intelligence function your analysis.
  • Your dashboard pages should use a variety of visual tools available without being redundant or difficult to interpret.
  • One or more of your visualizations should be a chart type/visual tool that Excel does not have or does not do well. For example, Excel can do Column Charts just fine, but Power BI has much richer versions of Treemaps and Map charts (see the ArcGIS charts), and new charts/features are added monthly.

My grading criteria is as follows:

  • No file submitted (0 pts)
  • Six points for connecting to, importing, and modeling your data.
  • Three points per visualization. Including but not limited to:
    • Correct visual based on the data
    • Visual is clear
    • Visual is not overloaded with data or has adequate drilldown/aggregate capabilities.
  • Three points per description of your visualizations.
  • Three points for using an example of a drill down or time intelligence function.
  • Three points for creation of a calculated column.

Summary of Deliverables:
For this assignment you should submit a single .pbix file and any associated files (Access Database, csv files, etc) to Canvas.

  • If you are using Windows:
    • The Power BI Desktop Suite saves as a .pbix file by default. Upload that file and any associated files.
  • If you are using a Mac or the Online version of Power BI:
    • When you are finished with your project you can submit by following these steps:
      • View your dashboard in Power BI Online
      • Click the File arrow
      • Select Download report (Preview)
    • This will download a .pbix copy of your dashboard (even on a Mac). Submit that file and any other associated documents.

Submit all documents to Canvas before the posted due date.
 

Please respond to each questions. Each response should be concise and between 2–3 paragraphs in length. •Use MS Word to write your responses, and submit your answers to all three questions in one Word document. •Copy and paste each question within the document so that your Instructor can see to which question you are responding.

1.Based on what you have read in Chapters 1 & 2 of your course text, explain—using examples—how experiences supporting the following developmental areas contribute to healthy brain development: physical, emotional, social, cognitive/ language development.   

2.Based on pages 68-74 of your course text, explain the importance of quality attachments to healthy infant development and identify at least three strategies caregivers can use to support secure attachments.   

3.Observing and recording infant development can and should play a critical role in ensuring that developmentally appropriate practices are in place. Based on pages 124-134, identify and explain three kinds of observation methods that can and should be used to assess infant development and when each is likely to be employed.

The Supreme Court and Judicial Review
If children do not understand the Constitution, they cannot understand how our government functions, or what their rights and responsibilities are as citizens of the United States.” – John Roberts
Although the Judiciary Act of 1789 established the legal concept of judicial review, it was the 1803 Supreme Court Case, Marbury v. Madison, which established the Supreme Court as the arbiter of whether the executive actions, congressional legislation, or lower court judicial decisions are constitutional.
In 1803, the Supreme Court heard the case, Marbury v. Madison. Chief Justice John Marshall, writing on behalf of a unanimous court, stated “it is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is.” (Marbury v. Madison, 1803) In other words, the Supreme Court has the power to the final decider on what is constitutional or unconstitutional – be it congressional legislation, executive action, or judicial decisions. The Supreme Court’s power of judicial review is a salient component of this country’s ‘checks and balances’ system. Here is a full account of Marbury v. Madison from the U.S. Archives.
Today, the Supreme Court routinely hears cases that evaluate the constitutional authority of executive actions, congressional legislation, and lower court judicial decisions.
Directions: Using the required, academic readings, and supplemental academic research, please address the following while adhering to the Discussion Board Rubric:

  • Identify the constitutional powers of judicial branch.
    • How does the Supreme Court act as a check against executive authority?
    • How does the Supreme Court act as a check against legislative authority?
  • Select a specific Supreme Court case from one of the following fields:
  • Identify the historical circumstances of the Supreme Court case.
    • Speculate as to why the Supreme Court justices decided to hear this case.
  • Explain the Supreme Court’s decision.
    • Explain how this Supreme Court case discussed the U.S. Constitution and/or subsequent federal and state laws, and/or lower court judicial decisions.
    • How did this Supreme Court case affect the legislative, executive, and/or judicial branch?
  • Evaluate the resulting impact of the Supreme Court case on U.S. society.
    • Do you agree or disagree with the Supreme Court decision?
  • Evaluate the resulting impact of the Supreme Court case on you.
    • Why did this Supreme Court case interest you?
    • How did this case affect you and society?

Evidence-based practice (EBP) refers to making decisions about patient care that are based on the best evidence produced by well-designed clinical research. Numerous studies have suggested evidence-based care of patients can reduce patient complications and decrease healthcare costs by as much as 30%. Obstacles to incorporating changes, such as those consistent with EBP, are present within every organization. Resistance from nursing leaders and other barriers prevent nurses from implementing EBP that improve patient outcomes. Please consider an institution where you are currently employed or one that you have worked with in the past. What obstacles are present? What can you do to confront and overcome these obstacles? Please provide an article about evidence-based practice to support your perspectives.

 Arrange a Nurse Educator Interview and Develop Nurse Educator Interview Questions
Arrange a Nurse Educator Interview
By the end of week 2, you will identify and arrange to interview an experienced nurse educator about the trends in nursing education that she/he has observed or experienced during her/his career in education. You will also develop 10–12 interview questions.
By the end of week 4, you should have conducted the interview and submitted a written synopsis of the interview. Please review the requirements for the paper (listed under week 4) before arranging the interview because the paper requirements will assist you in writing your interview questions and conducting the interview.
Please note: You should begin thinking about this activity as soon as possible because the nurse educator you select may not be able to meet during the time frame you wish, and you may need to select someone else for the interview.
Assignment Guidelines

  • The person you select to interview must have a minimum of 5 years experience as a nurse educator currently practicing in academia, staff development, or a clinical nurse educator or patient educator. No family members please.
  • You may arrange to conduct the interview in person, by phone, or by online web conferencing.
  • In general, when you contact a prospective interviewee, state who you are and explain that the interview is for a university course assignment.
  • Ask for a convenient time to meet for a 30-minute interview.
  • Review the literature related to the nurse educator’s specific field of nursing education.
  • Type 10–12 interview questions.
  • Be prepared to record responses by:
    • Leaving a space below each of your typed interview questions for jotting down responses
    • Using a tape recorder, but you must ask permission for the interview to be recorded

General Guidelines for Developing Interview Questions

  • Your interview questions will depend on the method of interview (formal or informal, face to face, or online web meeting/conferencing) and the specific area the nurse educator is practicing.
  • Word your questions clearly and concisely.
  • Ask open-ended questions.
  • Begin the interview with simple, factual questions that are easy to answer (icebreakers). This will help put the nurse educator at ease and help you establish a rapport. For example:
    • You may ask about qualifications, credentials, expertise, experience, level of education, responsibilities, and/or a typical day.
    • You may wish to ask questions that elicit feedback about how the person became interested in nursing education, how education was selected as a career path, and what steps were taken to become a nurse educator.
  • Next, seek information about personal experiences and opinions, such as:
    • Teaching philosophy and goals related to nursing education
    • Experiences with curricula
    • Experiences with evaluation
    • Ways of knowing that student goals are met
    • Ways of engaging and/or enriching student learning
    • Outlook on the future of nursing education
    • The most effective teaching strategies
    • Positive experiences in teaching
    • Challenges faced as a nurse educator

This week, you must submit the following information to your faculty for approval:

  • Name of the person you will be interviewing
  • Title of the person you will be interviewing
  • Specific area of education of the person you will be interviewing
  • Length of time the person has worked in the current position as a nurse educator
  • Date and time of your scheduled interview
  • Your list of 10–12 interview questions

If you were not able to schedule the interview during week 2, you may conduct the interview during week 3 or 4 (see week 3 for the interview guidelines). Your written synopsis of the interview should be submitted by the end of week 4 (see week 4 for written paper guidelines).
