Design an interprofessional team to meet the primary care needs in your community and share with your peers in the discussion forum. Support your discussion with evidence based practice and recommendations.

What are your thoughts…

Healthcare researchers are continually looking for ways of improving the quality of healthcare services that patients receive. For instance, if a researcher posits that a new procedure will lead to more patient recoveries, the alternative hypothesis testing process will aim to find evidence that backs this statement. The null hypothesis here will be that the new procedure does not lead to many patient recoveries. Once the data is collected, analyzed, and presented, the conclusions are made on whether the hypothesis is correct.
