Improving cost-effectiveness and health outcomes

/0 Comments/in /by

I am struggling with a topic for my paper this week on Developing strategies based on a theoretical framework, to support technology use in optimizing patient safety, and in improving cost-effectiveness and health outcomes.

In addition:

  1. Introduce with some relevant background, a problem of interest (patient safety, cost, health outcome, etc.), which can be improved through a technology solution.
  2. Write two “statements”:
    • Problem statement (Note: this is likely more than a “statement” as you will need some background, etc.); and,
    • The problem is worded as a research question (study question).

For example:

  • Problem: Patient throughput (time from ED admission order to placement in appropriate bed) is higher than national benchmark expectations.
  • Question: Would an implementation of a process change (name it) improve patient throughput?
  1. Identify the theoretical model (any nursing, system, or organizational theory is ok – and you may use one that you’ve already written about) that you would use to frame a research study around the above question; -or- Identify the quality improvement methodology (any QI methodology – with the exception of the “RCA”) you would use to perform an improvement study, from the question from above.
  2. And, in one to three paragraphs discuss/justify why you’ve chosen what you have. For example, if you’ve chosen a QI methodology rather than a theoretical model… Why? (Refer back to Notes from Instructor in the Week 6 Course materials).
  3. Finally, draw or diagram it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you!

Break the stereotypes- why are these issues not simply “women’s” or “men’s” mental health issues?Personal examples or experiences are encouraged.
