As you analyze your data, the use of decision trees, predictive and prescriptive analytics can be helpful to consider. In addition, you will also be applying evidence based practice findings and benchmarking as part of your analysis. Share how you will use the tools in your current project and the potential opportunities for further application as you analyze the data in more depth.

Share your information-management strategy (described in the lecture) for managing healthcare data/information in your facility to support evidence-based practice and relate how this strategy fits within the data-information-knowledge-wisdom (DIKW) model.

Think about the information - management strategies and techniques that go into developing a database. Share your strategy with the team this week including: • How might your selected information strategy be used for managing healthcare data / information in your facility to support evidence - based practice? • In this selecte...

Name two-to-five entities (also known as entity classes in your text) that will be part of your database. Explain why you have chosen these entities. Using the Chen format as shown and discussed in the Oppel text, draw an entity-relationship (E-R) diagram for two entities including their relationship; for one of the entities, also name the identifier. Attach the diagram to your discussion post as a PDF document. (Hand drawn diagrams are not acceptable; you may utilize a software program or Micro...

Nurses in clinical practice manage most of the patient-related data and transform that data into usable information. Think about a data-management problem that could be resolved with a database. Explain the problem in detail, support the need to solve the problem with evidence from scholarly literature, and explain why you think a database is a reasonable solution. Consider situations about patient care, nursing practices, leadership or management, or education. Think about a situation for which...
