Need help with a 2 part assignment. The course is Essentials of Evidence-Based Practice. Need someone who can deliver a great grade and understands this topic in Nursing!

Assignment: Evidence-Based Project, Part 4: Critical Appraisal of Research

Realtors rely on detailed property appraisals—conducted using appraisal tools—to assign market values to houses and other properties. These values are then presented to buyers and sellers to set prices and initiate offers.

Research appraisal is not that different. The critical appraisal process utilizes formal appraisal tools to assess the results of research to determine value to the context at hand. Evidence-based practitioners often present these findings to make the case for specific courses of action.

In this Assignment, you will use appraisal tools to conduct a critical appraisal of published research. You will then present the results of your efforts.

To Prepare:

Review the Resources and consider the importance of critically appraising research evidence.

Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and analyzed in Module 3.

Review and download the Critical Appraisal Tools document provided in the Resources.

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 4A: Critical Appraisal of Research

Each student is expected to select a Community Mental Health Observation by discussing the options with their clinical instructor. Three days after attending the observation, submit the Community Mental Health Observation form following your experience by e-mail to your clinical instructor. The observation forms will be evaluated for a pass/fail grade based on including all of the following guidelines below and will be considered into the overall grade the student receives for the clinical experience. Plan: to discuss in your final post-conference your clinical community mental health experience with your other classmates.

The content of each clinical observation should include the following items:

Describe the community mental health support group, event or experience and goals:

Title ______________________________Date_____ Time_____ Location__________

Goals:

Be specific about the title of the event, where you went, what happened during the experience, what clients you saw, and staff relationship/interaction with client.

Evaluate the overall community mental health clinical experience.

What was good about the experience?

What was problematic about the experience?

Consider alternative strategies for the situation.

What do you think would have made the experience better for you and/or for the group?

Clearly, diagnosis is a critical aspect of healthcare. However, the ultimate purpose of a diagnosis is the development and application of a series of treatments or protocols. Isolated recognition of a health issue does little to resolve it.

In this module’s Discussion, you applied the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory to diagnose potential problems with the civility of your organization. In this Portfolio Assignment, you will continue to analyze the results and apply published research to the development of a proposed treatment for any issues uncovered by the assessment.

To Prepare:

Review the Resources and examine the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory, found on page 20 of Clark (2015).

Review the Work Environment Assessment Template.

Reflect on the output of your Discussion post regarding your evaluation of workplace civility and the feedback received from colleagues.

Select and review one or more of the following articles found in the Resources:

Clark, Olender, Cardoni, and Kenski (2011)

Clark (2018)

Clark (2015)

Griffin and Clark (2014)

Instructions

Deliverable: Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery.

Scenario:

The hospital where you work has an issue with increased readmissions within 30 days of discharge. After examining the core measures, it was found that heart failure was the most common core measure disease process experiencing the highest rate of readmissions. The leadership team has given your team the charge of developing a nurse-run outpatient heart failure clinic. The purpose of this clinic is to ensure that discharge education is presented to the patient in an orderly, consistent manner and complies with evidence-based practice protocols. Since these patients may be discharged from a variety of areas in the facility, having the heart failure clinic staff take ownership of the process will improve both consistency and compliance. There are cardiologists that interact with the staff and patients, but the day-to-day operations of the clinic are designed and supported by the nurses as they interact with appropriate members of the other health care team disciplines promoting the best care for the heart failure patients.

As a member of the nurse team, you have been asked to develop one component of the clinic.

The hospital leadership established these objectives for the clinic services:

Evaluate and maximize proper medication therapy.

Conduct regular diet, exercise, and stress management classes for the patients.

Monitor physiological indicators for the patients (lab work, weights, vital signs, ECGs).

Provide a case management system for patients in the program post-discharge.

The overall goals for the heart failure clinic are to:

Enroll greater than 90 percent of the patients with a primary or secondary diagnosis of HF prior to discharge.

Facilitate discharge planning to achieve 100 percent compliance with patient education prior to discharge (discharge planning).

Decrease readmission rates in this population by 5 percent over the next year.

The leadership team has asked you to provide them with an evidence-based plan for one of the components of the clinic. You may use any combination of documents (for example, a spreadsheet or a table) in addition to explanatory information to convey information clearly and succinctly.

Develop one: an Orientation Course Plan, a Discharge Education Plan, or a Care Coordination Plan.

An Orientation Course Plan:

Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery.

Include a comprehensive schedule of topics, objectives, key points, and patient resources for the orientation course.

What are the components of an evidence-based education plan?

How will you know that patients will understand what to do?

What modalities will you use to deliver information?

How will you adapt the plan to meet the needs of patients from diverse cultural and language backgrounds?

Identify specialized and supplementary material needs.

Apply professional and legal standards in support of a care plan.

Explain the alignment to the most recent Heart Failure Guidelines and specific professional standards.

Describe the accountability tools and procedures used to measure effectiveness.

How will you know if the patient education plan is successful?

What are the indicators of success or effectiveness?

A Discharge Education Plan:

Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery.

Develop a discharge plan with objectives and resources, and tools for patients to monitor their progress.

How will you know that patients understand what to do?

What modalities will you use to deliver information?

How will you adapt the plan to meet the needs of patients from diverse cultural and language backgrounds?

Apply professional and legal standards in support of a care plan.

Explain the alignment to the most recent Heart Failure Guidelines and specific professional standards.

Describe accountability tools and procedures used to measure effectiveness.

How will you know if the discharge plan is successful?

What are the indicators of success or effectiveness?

Care Coordination Plan:

Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery.

Develop a procedure for coordinating services.

Consider the needs of “outliers.” For example, someone with lung disease may need extra resources.

Who should be on the team?

When would the team be activated?

How would it be activated?

What is the time frame required to coordinate services?

How would the intervention plan be monitored for effectiveness?

Apply professional standards in support of a care plan.

Explain the alignment to the most recent heart failure guidelines and specific professional standards.

Describe accountability tools and procedures used to measure effectiveness.

How will you know if the care coordination plan is successful?

What are the indicators of success or effectiveness?

How will information be collected or communicated?
