In Part A, you described the population and quality initiative related to your PICOT (Population/Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time to achieve the outcome) statement. In this assignment, you will formalize your PICOT and research process.

Use the GCU Library to perform a search for peer-reviewed research articles. Find five peer-reviewed primary source translational research articles.

In a paper of 1,250-1,500 words, synthesize the research into a literature review. The literature review should provide an overview for the reader that illustrates the research related to your particular PICOT. Include the following: 

1. Methods: Describe the criteria you used in choosing your articles

2. Synthesize the Literature: Part A: Discuss the main components of each article (subjects, methods, key findings) and provide rationale for how this supports your PICOT; Part B: Compare and contrast the articles: Discuss limitations, controversies, and similarities/differences of the studies.

3. Areas of Further Study: Analyze the evidence presented in your articles to identify what is known, unknown, and requires further study.

You are required to cite five to 10 sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

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.

Benchmark – Part B: Population Health Research and PICOT Statement – Rubric

A comprehensive discussion of the main components of each article, including subjects, methods, key findings, and rationale for how the article supports the PICOT statement, is thoroughly developed with supporting details.

Literature Synthesis, Part B

Areas of Further Study

A comprehensive analysis of evidence in the articles to identify what is known, unknown, and needed for further study is thoroughly developed with supporting details.

 

Project teams may be made up of members who come from a variety of  disciplines, professions, and skills. Members may be recruited from a  number of internal and external organizations. Project managers must  bring together diverse teams to produce the expected business results  while maintaining communications and relative harmony. The Jung  Myers-Briggs test is often used to identify personality types that make  up a team. Armed with this information project team members may have a  better idea of how best to approach, work with, and communicate with  other members.

If you have previously taken the Myers-Briggs test then you may use  that information here. If you have not taken the test before then please  take the Jung Typology Test (Links to an external site.),  tell us your four letter Myers-Briggs description, and briefly describe  its meaning. Tell us if you believe the result accurately describes you  and the potential strengths and weaknesses your personality type has in  working in teams and or in relationships. (There are sources that  discuss this). Replies should contain at least 200 words and be  supported by at least one professional or academic source other than the  textbook.

Case 3: Volume 2, Case #21: Hindsight is always 20/20, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

• Provide the case number in the subject line of the Discussion.
• List three questions you might ask the patient if he or she were in your office. Provide a rationale for why you might ask these questions. 
• Identify people in the patient’s life you would need to speak to or get feedback from to further assess the patient’s situation. Include specific questions you might ask these people and why.
• Explain what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate for the patient and how the results would be used.
• List three differential diagnoses for the patient. Identify the one that you think is most likely and explain why.
• List two pharmacologic agents and their dosing that would be appropriate for the patient’s ADHD therapy based on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. From a mechanism of action perspective, provide a rationale for why you might choose one agent over the other.
• If your assigned case includes “check points” (i.e., follow-up data at week 4, 8, 12, etc.), indicate any therapeutic changes that you might make based on the data provided.
• Explain “lessons learned” from this case study, including how you might apply this case to your own practice when providing care to patients with similar clinical presentations.

As health care costs continue to soar, the financial structure of health care organizations remains at the forefront of public discussion. Some would argue that finance is exerting too much influence on the structure of health care organizations and services to the detriment of the quality of care and patient safety. Others vehemently disagree noting that being financially aware is creating efficient forms of health care services that are beneficial to patients. There are also specific advocates for both for-profit and non-profit structures. Further, in the process of becoming a doctoral researcher, it is necessary to develop the ability to organize and synthesize the related extant literature and to write well in academic style. Writing skill is improved by accepting feedback and carrying out revision. In this assignment, you will will revise a previous submission regarding health care structures and analyze the role of finance in determining the structure of health care organizations and health care services.

Directions:
Part 1
Present a revised version (1,250-1,550 words total) of the paper “Contrast of Health Care Structures” that makes improvements in the caliber of the writing and incorporates instructor feedback regarding content and writing. Include the following in your submission:

1. A reflection (250-300 words) that provides a bulleted list of the changes you made to the paper and discusses your revision process including how you incorporated your instructor’s feedback into the revised version.
