Analysis of Qualitative and Quantitative Research methods used in articles

The human brain is a receptacle of knowledge and reasoning and man has always had an inherent ability to think, analyze argue and conclude. The concept of critical thinking as a form of analysis has its roots during the time of Socrates.

It is important to analyze on the basis of knowledge, available data and insight. RH Ennis (2003) described critical thinking as, focussed thinking based on sound reasoning and reflections ...

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 ...

Introduction

Healthcare professionals have differed on the size of adequate nursing in hospitals. Research has clearly revealed that staffing of nurses has a direct effect on quality care. Quality care, on the other hand, influences patient satisfaction and recovery. Studies show that adequate nursing promotes quality care which in turn increases the rate of recovery in hospitals. Evidence-based practices reveal that as a result of low staffing levels, patient recovery has become poor with increased cases of shock and bleeding. The same evidence reports that patients recover at a faster rate when quality care is readily available due to proper staffing. Moreover, effective ...
