Outcome
Time
- quantitative
- qualititative
types of nursing research
- mixed methods
- translational
- uses numerical data to evaluate outcome
quantitative research - numbers, count, and measures that are collected and analyzed using statistics
- often divided into 2 groups: intervention and control
, - seeks to increase understanding, describe, explore, or illuminate issues in health
care
qualitative research
- narrative in nature
- smaller sample sizes
- combines qualitative studies with quantitative designs
mixed methods research
- used to create a holistic answer to a question
evidence-based recommendations to be used as guidelines in the medical
clinical practive guidelines
management of disease processes and in preventative care
clinical tools used within health care organizations that utilize evidence-based
critical pathways
guidelines to manage the delivery of client care
reflect the interventions that are typically implemented when caring for a client with
standards of care
a specific disorder
1. planning changes in processes or systems that will improve client outcomes,

categories of quality measurements - process
- outcome
- condition or environment in which care is provided
structure
- the "where"
- measures the mechanisms of care provided
process - the "what" and "how"
- care delivery to patients
- measurable results
outcome - the "why"
- effect on patient populations
- plan-do-study-act
QI models - six sigma
- lean
- plan - identify need for change, strategic plan developed to initiate the change
- do - take steps to initiate the change
plan-do-study-act - study - review the results, summarize the findings
- act - accept the change. adapt the change, abandon the change, make revisions
and repeat the cycle
- risk management
- occurence or incident reports
promote quality improvement - sentinel event
- never event
- root cause analysis
- identification, evaluation, and prioritization of risks to eliminate or mitigate their
risk management probability or severity and to leverage opportunities
- goal is to protect clients, staff, and visitors from harm
- an event not consistent with desired or normal operation
occurence or incident reports
- also known as adverse event
