Type of Measures Nursing Discussion – Description
Hello Prof. Alfred,I am attaching the project instructions and supporting documents as a zipped folder. This assignment is the first part towards the final paper for the class so we can already have an eye towards the final project. We can reuse some of the Discussion Board #5, but the professor is also asking for speceficic measures. I was thinking to use a questionnaire following the educational intervention, as an example, to measure healthcare providers knowledge and utilization of the lab tests prior to prescribing atypical antypsychotics before and after the educational intervention. Feel free to also work on other parts of the paper as you see fit, if you have time, as this is the first draft towards the final paper, but I would rather have it completed earlier rather than late in the semester. So Paper #2 and Paper #3, will continue to build on Paper #1 and add the remaining sections so that the final paper looks the the final sample paper attached. It may be a very good idea to discuss measures AND graphs/charts found in other articles!!! I have attached pictures of the Educational Intervention Pre and PostTest and the Tests standard procedure prior to ordering atypical antipsychotics. The Pre and PostTest is from a prior work I did, but the wording would relate to standardization of following evidence-based guidelines prior to ordering atypical antypsychotics rather than medication adherence. The tests standard procedure comes from the following textbook: Stahl, S.M. (2020). Stahl’s Essential Psychopharmacology Prescriber’s Guide (7th Ed.). Cambridge University Press: New York, NY. ISBN-10: 1108926010. I have also attached the finalized and previously submitted project outline.The Prof. really wants us to focus on measurable outcomes in this class, not just literature review. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope that helps.Prof. feedback on Discussion Board #5:Very nice work explaining the importance of your aim statement, the requirements for testing, and the use of the PDSA cycle to promote adherence to the evidence-based guidelines for testing. I did not see how you plan to actually measure adherence. What type of measures will you use? Process, outcome?? How will you know the required tests have been ordered? Will you conduct chart audits? Prepare an algorithm so you can easily find this aggregate information in a report from the EMR? How will the data be collected, recorded, and displayed? What sort of chart or graph will you use? You probably have more information in this post than you need in your paper, (Remember the papers have page limitations), so make sure to focus on what the rubric asks for. You may certainly use some of this information for your paper, but make sure to answer my questions about measures very specifically. Let me know if you have any questions.
