TOPIC: Impact of Medication Administration Errors on 3-4-Year-old Leukemia Patients 

Chapter 2 of the Direct Practice Improvement (DPI) Project Proposal is titled “Literature Review” and expands upon work you completed in DNP-820 in the Develop a Literature Review assignment. Synthesis of the literature in the Literature Review (Chapter 2) defines the key aspects of the learner’s scholarly project, such as the problem statement, population and location, clinical questions, variables or phenomena (if relevant to the project), methodology and design, purpose statement, data collection, and data analysis approaches. The literature selected must illustrate strong support for the learner’s practice change proposal.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

· Locate the “DPI Proposal Template” in the PI Workspace of the DC Network.

· Locate the Develop a Literature Review assignment you completed in DNP-820.

· Locate the “Research Article Chart” resource in the DC network Course Materials.

· Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.

· This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

2. Using the Clinical Question/PICOT question components, identify at least two themes which will organize the literature review .

3. Identify at least three subthemes that relate to each theme (six subthemes total).

4. Identify at least three empirical or scholarly articles related to each subtheme (18 articles total). At least one article must demonstrate a quantitative methodology.

5. Use the “Research Article Chart” resource as a guide to: (a) analyze and synthesize the literature into your paper, (b) state the article title, (c) identify the author, (d) state the research question(s), (e) identify the research sample, (f) explain the research methodology, (g) identify the limitations in the study, (h) provide the research findings of the study, and (i) identify the opportunities for practice implementation. For scholarly, nonempirical articles, state the article title and author, and provide a brief contextual summary of the article

 Topic – Heart Failure ages 27-90

By the due date Assigned, write a 1-2 page paper addressing the sections below of the research proposal.

Methodology   You are to design a study.  

•     Sample/Setting: Number and criteria for inclusion and description of place in which data will be collected.
•     Sampling Strategy
•     Research Design: Type (e.g., Quasi-Experimental), description, and rationale for selection

1. You are going to present data that has been collected to your administrative group. The focus is on outcome measures and the data collected is unplanned readmission rates at two different hospitals. What format would you choose to display your data and why? What information would you include with the data?
   
2. Identify at least two stakeholder agency reporting sources. How do these external reporting groups contribute to or hinder CQI?
   
3. Select an effective current health policy that focuses on or affects population health. What components of this policy make it effective? Conduct research on its history and the factors that influenced its development

The organization for this assignment – Amedisys Hospice of Greater Chesapeake.

After completing your research, prepare your Written Assignment 2 intermediate deliverables (relevant submission folders are in the sub-modules) as directed by the general guidelines for written assignments in the syllabus, project descriptions, by answering each of the following questions in turn:

1. Name and describe the health service organization.
2. Describe its primary target market in terms of the segmentation variables presented in the Week 4 Overview. You can use the PRIZM system or describe it yourself. 
3. What kind of behaviors do its patients/clients exhibit when making a decision to use the organization’s services? Might want to refer to the Health Service Model. 
4. What do you think is the organization’s value proposition?  Use the generic value propositions outlined in the Week 4 Overview.
5. Describe the organization’s primary competitors.  If possible, prepare a positioning map using two variables important to the patients/clients of the organization. 
6. Based on your competitive analysis, what do you is the organization’s competitive position? 
7. What recommendations would you make for changes to the organization’s target market, services or competitive position and why?

For this discussion post, I would like you to observe someone or a group of people in a social environment. How are they behaving? Does their behavior change when they know you are observing? 

Good example: go to the grocery store and just observe people. In the beginning of Corona, people were hoarding resources. Why do you think they were? Do you wonder if their behaviors would change, if they knew they were being observed or told to change?

Please include your the observation specifics about the experiment you chose. Did the people know you were watching them
