During the analysis conducted with my mentor, we believe that from the clinical point of view the results obtained from the patients will be positively impacted through the implementation of the EBP, and the application of the knowledge acquired from the planned educational proposal. The professionals who participate in the educational project will be able to learn the importance of the application of EBP in the daily routine and this will result in better health care provided to patients. This increase in positive results is synonymous with quality, therefore the organization will benefit from providing their patients with a high-quality service which will make the standards of the same, stay above what is required. All the aforementioned, makes the financial cost of implementing the educational project is not noticed. In any case, the expenses are expected to be minimal, but the benefits that the plan will bring will make disappear the possible economic barrier that could represent the implementation of the proposal for the administration of the organization. Healthcare expenditures must be correlated with high quality and efficiency in the delivery of services to improve health outcomes. In a very good study carried out by Hussey, Wertheimer, and Mehrotra, 2013, they point out that “One possibility is that improvements in quality will require increases in cost (or conversely, cost reductions could reduce quality). In reality, the association between cost and quality probably falls between these 2 extremes, that some types of health care costs are associated with high quality and others with poor quality. The effect depends on where the money is spent”.

Evidence-based practice is associated with higher quality care and better patient outcomes than care that is steeped in tradition. However, the integration of evidence-based practice implementation into daily clinical practice remains inconsistent, and the chasm between research and bedside practice remains substantial. Practice changes most of the time requires an upfront investment of time and resources. These investments are designed to create an improvement in outcomes, whether clinical (e.g., reduced infections), organizational (e.g., shorter length of stay), or fiscal (e.g., reduced unplanned readmissions, which helps the organization avoid Medicare penalties). Any of these may have cost implications. Some EBP improvements may not create cost savings but may achieve an equally valuable outcome (e.g., patient satisfaction) that helps fulfill the organizational mission. 

I made a couple of changes that I saved on this attachment. Also, you need to look at your reference slides again. Per APA they must be in alphabetical order on the Reference page (slide) they are only in order of citation within the body of the text – if that makes sense. Use that Purdue Owl link to help you so you don’t lose unnecessary points. I would also make them more even between the two slides. Right now you have a lot of references  on the first slide and only a couple on the second. There is no rule as to how many to put on each slide, just balance it out.

M4:Braden Scale Dropbox

Please read the article and answer:
1. Why did the author access the PubMed system and then what for?

2. What is the incidence of pressure ulcers between 1999 and 2004?

3. When was the Braden scale developed?

4. What are the six factors that are considered for the Braden scale?

5. Which government agency is responsible for clinical practice guidelines?

6. List at least three reasons that a hospital would be interested in identifying a pressure ulcer

       early in the patient’s hospital stay.

7.  What does the term nosocomial mean?

8. What is risk assessment and why is it such an important aspect of hospital management?

9. Why is the selection of a proper surface to lie on an important part of wound management? (be

        specific)

10. Which analysis was utilized in the results section and why?

11. Is the hospital that you are working for using the Braden scale? If so, then state if it appears  

         to be working and if not then give a reason that they may not want to use it. (If not working

        then just give the main reason that an institution would want to use the scale).

1-Qualitative and quantitative methods both are unique with each-other and have both advantages and disadvantages, mostly quantitative data includes closed-end information and deals with statistical analysis and results are usually in numbers. Quantitative data is mostly subjective and are open ended (Grove, Gary, & Burns, 2015).

     It is believed by many researchers that combined use of both qualitative and quantitative methods in study increases reliability and outcomes of research. Combined use of these methods allows the use of varieties of approaches that answers the research questions which would not have been possible using single method (Doyle, Brady, & Byrne, 2009)

    The term that describes use of both methods is known as mixed method s research or third method and is believed to have huge benefit for health and science researches. The advantages of this type of research are the results or outcomes of the research may include both statistical analysis and observational evidence and support for the finding, researches can use both words and numbers to communicate. The disadvantages of this methods are they usually are time consuming as they involve tools of both method, they require more resources to collect both types of data (Grove, Gary, & Burns, 2015).

2-According to Lancaster University management school, advantages of qualitative research is that the researcher can usually insert and in depth and rich description of the study. This makes it good for research where in detailed understanding is required leading to a more holistic view of the subject. However, the study cannot always be generalizable because either the sample population is too small, or the research topic is to subjective therefore careful consideration needs to be done in these two fronts. Also, it is not always easy to interpret the study due to its descriptive nature therefore the researcher need to take great care in identifying themes and carefully mold the conclusion.

The advantages of quantitative method of research is that the larger sample sizes available for these types of studies often make the conclusions generalizable to the target population. This type of research is appropriate for situations where systematic, standardized comparisons are needed. Therefore statistical methods mean that the analysis is often considered reliable.

The disadvantages are it does not always shed light on the full complexity of human experience or perceptions therefore the research may not feel holistic. This might also give a false impression of homogeneity in a sample (2016).

      3-   Chanthakone, to further support the use of both methods, Wisdom and Creswell states,  Comparing samples through collecting both types of data at roughly the same time; assessing information using parallel constructs for both types of data; separately analyzing both types of data; and comparing results through procedures such as a side-by-side comparison in a discussion, transforming the qualitative data set into quantitative scores, or jointly displaying both forms of data can validate findings. An example presented is, the investigator can gather qualitative data to assess the personal experiences of patients while also gathering data from survey instruments measuring the quality of care. The two types of data can provide validation for each other and also create a solid foundation for drawing conclusions about the intervention.
