Implementation Literature Reviews Samples For Students

The program on the management of tuberculosis among immigrants utilizes several designs. One of them is the human based design, which considers individuals as belonging to a community. These individuals interact with each other and may thus benefit each other directly or indirectly. However, individuals in a community can also be a source or point of transmission of diseases to other populations. The other design/strategy adopted by the program is to consider the geography and environment in which individuals live. Both the human and physical environments may provide either opportunities or risks for program implementation. The design and implementation of any health ...

Problems of implementing total quality management in the construction industry

For total quality management to be implemented in an organization there is a need to have a culture change in that organization. The process of changing culture in an organization is a difficult one to undertake. There is a lot of resistance while undertaking this one. The problem that is faced while undertaking the implementation of total quality management is that, it is neither a slogan nor a tool that will be used, but rather it is a paradigm in any organization. It is wide enough to be the framework that can be used by an organization in their culture. It is therefore in order to ...

Abstract

Maintaining a highly effective waste management system is an important part of being a clean and green city. While this may not be the top priority for some countries, especially the developing ones—because keeping a clean and green city can be costly; there are countries that are making long term investments for a more effective waste management system in the future. This can be evidenced by the fact that even countries like Qatar and the city of Dubai are finding it hard to find the political and economic will to develop and enforce environmental law and regulations. If ...

Abstract

The growing accessibility of the global market opened up unlimited opportunities for multinational organizations. However, such expanding market requires more knowledge base that the organizations normally have access to, and yet hampered due to factors essentially within the organization (Ang & Massingham, 2007; Szulanski, 1996). Shared assumptions, values, and norms must be in place to provide a sustainable source of internal motivation towards KM execution (Zheng, Yang, & McLean, 2010). A growing number of scholars considered organizational culture as he critical factor that supports or hampers the effective and efficient transfer and sharing of knowledge between units in the organization (Koenig, ...

1. What evidence-based communication skills, change processes, and interventions are you using to guide your work in the field experience? Please be complete and provide at least 2 examples of how you are using these practices.
The main process employed in change was team-based implementation. A committee consisting of staff members, this writer, and the nurse educator was formed for the project. The committee provided a venue for participants to provide input during the development of the project, and to take part in its implementation. Doing so ensured the optimization of the knowledge and skills of the committee members, ...

Several evidence-based change processes or interventions were employed as guide during the field experience. The first is creating an EBP project implementation committee or team. The literature points to key elements needed in a team, namely a facilitator, members to function as project champions, goals and objectives, an EBP focus, and established meeting times (Houser & Oman, 2011). I functioned as leader or facilitator while senior nurses and the nurse educator functioned as project champions. The diversity of opinions, consensus-building process, and shared accountability also ensures that informed decisions are made throughout the different phases of the project (Roussel, 2011). Moreover, a committee ...

Introduction

Healthcare involves the collaboration of various medical organizations, institutions, and providers, all of whom manage their own data under different storage and retrieval systems, and though practical and efficient within the target system, there is a lack of uniformity in structure across other systems (Masud et al. 2012). Moreover, there are often variations in data compiled from the same resources. This lack of synergy between the various data storage systems, and the types of information stored, preclude the sharing of data among the various healthcare professionals, institutions, and organizations. E-health systems, on the other hand, allow the storage and retrieval ...

Abstract

Rising rates of recidivism in the United States have developed concerns pertaining to the effectiveness of prisons as correctional facilities. In this study, the focus is to assess the suitability of faith-based correctional methods in promoting inmates reentry into the society. Some discussed methods include Inner change programs, prison chaplaincy, and meditational strategies. Several studies have indicated significant declines in recidivism rates among inmates who participated in these initiates. For example, Duwe & Johnson (2013) found that inmates who engaged in Inner change programs in Minnesota were less likely to be arrested by at least 8% compared to their counterparts ...

Computer software is a non-tangible component of the computer. It is a collection of scripts, codes and files required to perform a specified task. Software may be developed to perform one task or a collection of related tasks. It needs to be tailored to fulfill the requirements of the end user. A systematic framework is required to develop software without any glitches, user friendly and bug free. The process of developing software involves five phases and is referred to as the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). Technically, Software Development Lifecycle is a framework in which the tasks to be performed at each step are defined. ...

I am currently implementing my practicum project in a correctional nurse setting. The focus is on improving staff retention, motivation, and job satisfaction, thereby reducing the staff turnover, by employing mentorship as a strategy in enhancing the work environment and promoting the development of less-experienced nurses. Project planning and implementation was done by a team with the use of participatory approaches to ensure staff buy-in and commitment.
I have already completed two quarters in NURS 8600. The activities include an organizational needs assessment; survey tool selection or development to measure baseline and post-intervention staff data on motivation, intent to stay, and ...

Objectives define the purpose of the practicum and also serve as the basis for evaluation. Activities that must be accomplished need to be identified as well to ensure the objectives are attainable.

2A. Appraising Quantitative and Qualitative Research

Quantitative Study
One source of bias during data collection is the use of self-report data (Polit & Beck 2012). Chivers et al. (2001) obtained data through the SF-36 and Beck depression inventory which required the patients to answer questionnaires. If they failed to give accurate answers, it would have affected the validity of the findings. The study design also allowed patients to receive other clinically appropriate treatments that were beyond the study protocol (Chivers et al. 2001). Additional treatments are confounding variables but their influence on the study outcomes was not estimated in the statistical analysis. This reduces confidence in ...

Infections in hospital settings are a challenge in nursing because of the potential dangers that they pose to a wide number of patients. Bloodstream infections from central lines are particularly hazardous as they affect patients that are already vulnerable, meaning that they contribute to morbidity and mortality in the hospital setting (Rinke et al., 2012). Although the rates of central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) can be reduced by up to 67% through the introduction of checklists (Schulman et al., 2011), the issue continues to be important in a wide number of hospital settings. It is also important to understand the ...
