The right sampling of a population is crucial in research. Researchers have to define precisely the appropriate criteria to determine the population of study. For example studying ventilated patients, the criteria should defined if acute or chronic patients will be studied

Question Description

******* please respond to the discussion below add citations and references 🙂 *********

The right sampling of a population is crucial in research. Researchers have to define precisely the appropriate criteria to determine the population of study. For example studying ventilated patients, the criteria should defined if acute or chronic patients will be studied. If chronic, how many days or months on a ventilator. By refining the criteria it make a list of what is allowed to be included in the research and what is to be excluded from effecting the outcome the research. The purpose of the sampling is to be able to pull a portion to represent the whole population being studied. Carl Thompson, RN, PhD stated, “researchers must choose their sampling carefully to minimize bias” and “the ideal study sample represents the total population from which the sample was drawn” (If you could just provide me with a sample: examining sampling in qualitative and quantitative research papers, retrieved from https://ebn.bmj.com/content/2/3/68).

With proper representation of the whole population,it increases the validity of the research results. It allows the results to be used for generalization of the total population. In order for research to ultimately become evidence base practice in nursing, sampling is key. The well defined sampling of the population allows the change proposed to being determined new practice, will be successful in the whole population applied to.

EXPLAIN TYPES OF INCENTIVES FOR PROVIDERS FOR EFFICIENCY IN THE DELIVERY OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES.

Managed Care

In the United States, managed care is becoming an increasingly popular method of administering healthcare. It influences the clinical behavior of providers, as it combines the payment and delivery of healthcare into a single system, the purpose of which is to control the cost, quality, and access of healthcare services for a single bracket of health plan enrollees (Scutchfield, Lee, & Patton, 1997).

Yet, managed care often evokes strong or negative reactions from healthcare providers because they are paid a fixed amount for treating their patients, regardless of the actual cost, which may influence their level of efficiency. This can challenge the relationships between doctors and patients (Claxton, Rae, Panchal, Damico, & Lundy, 2012; Sekhri, 2000).

Research managed care’s inception and study some examples. Be sure to investigate the perspectives about managed care from the vantage of both healthcare providers and patients. You can use the following keywords for your research—United States managed care, history of managed care, and managed care timeline.

Based on your research, answer the following questions in a 8- to 10-page Microsoft Word document:

  • What are the positive and negative aspects of managed care? Analyze the benefits and the risks for both providers and patients, and how providers should choose among managed care contracts. Conclude with your analysis and recommendations for managed care health plans. Your response should include answers to the following questions:
    • Summarize the history of when, how, and why managed care was developed.
    • Define and discuss each type of managed care organization (MCO)—health maintenance organization (HMO), preferred provider organization (PPO), and point of sale (POS).
    • Explain the positive and negative aspects, respectively, of managed care organization from the provider’s point of view—a physician and a healthcare facility—and from a patient’s point of view.
    • Explain the three types of incentives for providers for efficiency in the delivery of healthcare services. Explain who bears the financial risk—the provider, the patient, or the managed care organization.
    • Offer your recommendations, to accept or decline, for patients considering managed care health plans, with your rationale for each.
