CASE STUDY #1 SYNOPSIS

According to the attached article “The Experts: What Should Be Done to Fix the Predicted U.S. Doctor Shortage?” (Links to an external site.) Published in the Wall Street Journal on June 20, 2013, What, if anything, should be done to alleviate the predicted doctor shortage in the U.S.? The Wall Street Journal put this question to The Experts, an exclusive group of industry, academic and other thought leaders who engage in in-depth online discussions of topics from the print Report.

CASE STUDY #1 DISCUSSION 1

  1. Is there a shortage of physicians overall, or only in key areas (both geographically and by specialty)?
  2. What are the key barriers to increasing the number of physicians (consider primary care and specialty physicians)?
  3. What policies might be used to address these issues?
  4. What can hospitals do to recruit and retain physicians? Consider recruitment tactics that are not misguiding (for example avoid tactics such as – new construction, new vision)
  5. What impact does physician-hospital integration and alignment have on the physician shortage?
  6. What impact does international medical programs have on the physician shortage?
  7. Using a table or chart include the projected physician shortages. Include a paragraph of discussion to explain your table or chart. (You may use a chart/table from a resource rather than create your own. Be sure to reference the tool correctly according to APA 6th ed. Chapter 5).
  8. Given the layered aspects of the physician shortage and the understanding that filling this gap reaches beyond the medical schools, what are some alternative strategies?
  9. Select one panel expert and choose to agree or disagree with their position on how to alleviate the physician shortage. Please include the panel expert’s name and position in your discussion.

Hi, are you able to complete the assignment below by tonight at 8:00 pm? Thanks

 

Assignment 3: Quantitative Annotated Bibliography

In this week’s discussion question you were asked to consider a potential problem (HEART DISEASE) that you would like to investigate through nursing research. For this assignment you will review current research from South’s Online Library and provide a critical evaluation on that research through an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a brief summary and analysis of the journal article reviewed. For more information on annotated bibliographies please visit Purdue’s OWL: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/

A total of four annotated bibliographiesare to be submitted (not to exceed one page each). The articles must come from nursing scholarly literature and may not be older than 5 years since publication. Please note that the articles must be research based and reflect a quantitative methodology (review our reading assignments). Web pages, magazines, textbooks, and other books are not acceptable.

Each annotation must address the following critical elements:

 

  • Explanation of the main purpose and scope of the cited work
  • Brief description of the research conducted
  • Value and significance of the work (e.g., study’s findings, scope of the research project) as a contribution to the subject under consideration
  • Possible shortcomings or bias in the work
  • Conclusions or observations reached by the author
  • Summary as to why this research lends evidence to support the potential problem identified specific to your role option.

Re:Topic 2 DQ 2

 

 

 

Explain each sampling technique discussed in the “Visual Learner: Statistics” in your own words, and give examples of when each technique would be appropriate.

 

  1.   Random Sampling:  When an individual is selected randomly to be part of a   survey.       Ex. After our patients are seen by their provider, one of the patient is asked to fill out a rate your experience form. 

 

2.   Stratified Sampling:  Based on different characteristics a given population is divided into smaller groups.      Ex. A population divided into ethnic groups when trying to find out how many are in college.

 

        3.   Systematic Sampling: It is based on selecting samples on a system interval with a chosen area to start.    Ex. Selecting every 7th patients leaving the clinic

 

        4.   Cluster Sampling: A group of young people divided into sections and randomly selecting an area to surveyed. Ex. At church we made four groups to discuss a topic, but choosing one group to be surveyed.

 

    5.   Convenience Sampling: Selecting a group of people that you know, in order for the results to be collected easily    Ex. Surveying, friends, family or co-workers.

 

How could you evaluate achievement of your Practicum Project objectives using formative and/or summative evaluation?

Practicum Project Methodology and Evaluation

Consider the following scenario:

With a clear conception of her Practicum Project goal and objectives, Sandra was optimistic that she was on the right track. Then she started to consider the methodology for her project and realized how much she still needed to figure out. She began to think about the theories and concepts she had examined in her program of study and how they might inform her methodology. The biggest challenge, she discovered, was in mapping the strategies that would help her achieve each objective. How would she decide what would be most effective? What barriers were likely to arise? She also realized that she needed to think about evaluation early in order to establish appropriate criteria and make sure she could assess the evidence related to the process, impact, and outcomes of her project. She wondered how she might use formative evaluation to develop and improve the project, as well as how she could use summative evaluation following the implementation of the project to determine if it had been successful.

Consider the models, theories, and concepts you have examined in your program of study as they relate to your project. Which of these can be applied to the development of methodology to help you achieve the project objectives? Which ones can be used to help you establish criteria and methods of evaluation for your project?

In this Discussion, you examine and propose the methodology for your Practicum Project, as well as evaluation methods. The insights you gain through this Discussion should be integrated into your Practicum Project Plan, which is due in Week 5.

To prepare:

  • Reflect on the Practicum Project goal and objectives you developed in Week 3.
  • Refer to the Practicum Project Plan (PPP) Overview document as needed for information related to the assignment.
  • Consider the models, theories, and concepts you have examined in your program of study as they relate to your project. How can this information be applied to the development of the methodology and evaluation for your project?
  • Review the information on methodology in the Learning Resources, and conduct additional research to facilitate your analysis for your project. Evaluate the who, what, how, where, and when associated with each objective: Who will make what change, by how much, where, and by when? Consider the methods you could use to meet each objective. Devise your methodology in as much detail as possible to identify how you could meet each objective. For example, identify which professional organizations or regulatory bodies you would consult (by viewing their websites or contacting them directly) to gather evidence.
  • Review the information on formative and summative evaluation in this week’s Learning Resources, and conduct additional research to facilitate your analysis for your project. How could you evaluate achievement of your Practicum Project objectives using formative and/or summative evaluation? Begin to develop an evaluation plan for your Practicum Project.

 post a minimum of 550 words in APA format with 3 references from the list below. Include the levels headers as numbered below:

 

1)      Post a brief summary of your Practicum Project focus, including the goal and objectives of your Practicum Project (to serve as a reminder for your colleagues).

2)      Explain your selected methodology, and justify your selection. Include a detailed explanation of how you could meet each objective using this methodology.

3)      Also explain your evaluation plan, noting at which points during your Practicum Project formative and/or summative evaluation will occur.
