The Internet as a Healthcare Tool

Sometimes patients are afraid to tell their doctor they don’t understand the doctor’s directions or the diagnosis. With the invention of many medicine-based websites, patients can get questions answered more frequently. But, this is a double-edged sword. If the patient gets a website that is not reliable, or they are unable to make sense of the information it contains, they can become unduly scared, or misled to take steps that may not make them well. On the other hand, with the correct information, patients will become more educated about their condition and even help the doctor by relaying things that they thought were insignificant but now realize was actually important.

An HIM professional may be able to recommend specific websites to the patient and encourage them to write down questions to bring back to the next visit. View the two links below to learn more about how to educate patients:

• The Doctor, The Patient And The World-Wide Web: How The Internet Is Changing Healthcare (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Here are two videos that explore websites you can trust for medical information, and why.

Assignment:

It is a trend for patients to be considered “consumers” in today’s healthcare system. Research has indicated that patients who have good relationships with their physicians tend to be more satisfied with their care and have better results. Write a 4-paragraph paper that indicates what would constitute a “good relationship” between a medical provider and a patient, and why it might result in better outcomes. Save your file as “Relationship” 

Review the Topic Materials and the work completed in NRS-433V to formulate a PICOT statement for your capstone project.

A PICOT starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention should be an independent, specified nursing change intervention. The intervention cannot require a provider prescription. Include a comparison to a patient population not currently receiving the intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process.

Formulate a PICOT statement using the PICOT format provided in the assigned readings. The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project.

In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

Make sure to address the following on the PICOT statement:

1. Evidence-Based Solution
2. Nursing Intervention
3. Patient Care
4. Health Care Agency
5. Nursing Practice

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

RUBRIC:

Identification of Clinical Problem/Issue

Clinical problem/issue is identified based on key concepts that define evidence-based practice or clinical experience. Articles are cited to support the need for change in nursing practice. The identified problem/issue can be resolved, or a patient outcome can show a marked improvement through a nursing intervention.

Clinical Problem/Issue, Including Description, Evidence-Based Solution, Nursing Intervention, Patient Care, Health Care Agency, and Nursing Practice

Clinical problem/issue description includes a developed and thorough explanation of the problem/issue, the setting, the patient population, and the rationale for why it is a problem/issue. The identified clinical problem/issue explains the following elements with detail and clarity: evidence-based solution, nursing intervention, and improved patient care consistent with specific health care agency resulting in nursing practice change. Sound rationale is provided in the discussion of the clinical problem/issue resolution.

PICOT Statement Focused on Resolution, Improvement, Application, and Intervention

PICOT statement clearly focuses on the resolution of a clinical problem/issue and aims at improving patient care through the application of an evidenced-based nursing intervention.

PICOT Statement Including Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Time

Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Time are comprehensive and thoroughly developed with supporting details.

Presentation

Thesis is comprehensive and contains the essence of the paper. Thesis statement makes the purpose of the paper clear.

Argument Logic and Construction

Clear and convincing argument that presents a persuasive claim in a distinctive and compelling manner. All sources are authoritative.

Please do well, this is the assignment that you did it, see the teacher comment and improve it and research what the PICOT means but Isn’t that I found. I need you doing well because I loss grade in 433 class with PICOT assignments. Thank you.

Framing the Research Question: PICO (T) Evidence-based models use a process for framing a question, locating, assessing, evaluating, and repeating as needed. PICO (T) elements include: Problem/Patient/Population, Intervention/Indicator, Comparison, Outcome, and (optional) Time element or Type of Study.

 Hello Group – it is always interesting to take these types of tests. It provides the opportunity to reflect on how we view ourselves and how others might view us in a group situation. There is no question this presents an opportunity to learn more about the people with whom we work, to develop strategies for solving problems, and to improve communication. Effective communication in healthcare is one of the most critical issues in terms of improving colleague relationships, staff satisfaction, and patient safety. Do you ever feel like regardless of your efforts, your message just was not getting through, or that you were not getting the gist of what the sender was trying to convey? As you explore key components of communication reflect on how you can influence messages that are sent and received. Thanks!
