Describe the case that you selected and the ethical issues involved.

Ethical Dimension Evidence Based Practice

Ethical Dimensions of Research Studies

Select a current health-related case involving research ethics. (If none come to mind, browse the Internet to familiarize yourself with recent cases.)

As you review the case that you have selected, reflect on the ethical principles discussed in “What Are the Major Ethical Issues in Conducting Research?” article found in this week’s Learning Resources. Which principles were breached in the case you have identified?

In the best-selling book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (Skloot, 2010), the author highlights the true story of an African-American woman who died in 1951 from cervical cancer. What makes her story unique is that prior to her death, cells from her tumor were removed and successfully grown in a petri dish. This was the first time scientists were able to successfully replicate cells outside the body, and it is estimated that billions of Lacks’ cells have been used in medical research. However, Henrietta Lacks was never asked for permission to take a sample and her family was never made aware of the widespread use of her cells. Although the culturing of her cells has been pivotal for advancing research, strong ethical concerns later arose about using these cells without patient or family approval.

This week’s readings describe historical examples of unethical research, such as a study of syphilis among African-American men in which treatment was withheld and a study in which live cancer cells were injected into elderly patients. Today, stricter controls that seek to protect study participants are placed on researchers, but breaches still occur. Careful attention must be given toward preventing unethical behavior. In this Discussion, you explore ethical considerations and issues in research.

Describe the case that you selected and the ethical issues involved. Analyze the ethical principles that were breached by the researchers or organizations in your selected case as well as the possible cause of the breach(es). Suggest how the research might have been conducted differently to avoid or minimize the ethical problems. Discuss how research can be done on sensitive issues while still protecting the rights of the research subjects.

Write a 3–5 page safety score improvement plan for mitigating concerns, addressing a specific patient-safety goal that is relevant to quality patient care. 

Determine what a best evidence-based practice is and design a plan for resolving issues resulting from not maintaining patient safety.

Quality improvement and patient safety are health care industry imperatives (Institute of Medicine’s Committee on Quality of Health Care in America, 2001). Effective quality improvement results in system and organizational change. This ultimately contributes to the creation of a patient safety culture.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

  • Competency 2: Apply systems theory and systems thinking to facilitate health care delivery and patient outcomes.       
    • (IMPORTANT) Apply systems thinking to explain how current policies and procedures may affect an identified safety issue.
    • (IMPORTANT) Explain an evidence-based strategy to collect information about, and improve, an identified safety concern. 
    • (IMPORTANT) Explain a plan to implement a recommendation and monitor outcomes.
  • Competency 4: Evaluate how power relates to health care organizational structure, behavior, and leadership.       
    • 9IMPORTANT) Describe the influence of nursing leadership in driving needed changes.
  • Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is consistent with the expectations of a nursing professional.       
    • (IMPORTANT) Write content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and current APA style.

This is what need to be covered, resumed:

-Explain an evidence-based strategy to collect information about, and improve, an identified safety concern.

-Apply systems thinking to explain how current policies and procedures may affect an identified safety issue.  

-Explain a plan to implement a recommendation and monitor outcomes.  

-Describe the influence of nursing leadership in driving needed changes.

-Write content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and current APA style.

Preparation

Refer to the Capella library and the Internet for supplemental resources to help you complete this assessment, a safety score improvement plan.

Consider the hospital-acquired conditions that are not reimbursed for under Medicare/Medicaid. Among these conditions are specific safety issues such as infections, falls, medication errors, and other safety concerns that could have been prevented or alleviated with the use of evidence-based guidelines. 

Hospital Safety Score, an independent nonprofit organization, uses national performance measures to determine the safety score for hospitals in the United States. The Hospital Safety Score Web site and other online resources provide hospital safety scores to the public.

Read the scenario below:Scenario As the manager of a unit, you have been advised by the patient safety office of an alarming increase in the hospital safety score for your unit. This is a very serious public relations matter because patient safety data is public information. It is also a financial crisis because the organization stands to lose a significant amount of reimbursement money from Medicare and Medicaid unless the source of the problem can be identified and corrected. You are required to submit a safety score improvement plan to the organization’s leadership and the patient safety office. 

Select a specific patient safety goal that has been identified by an organization, or one that is widely regarded in the nursing profession as relevant to quality patient care delivery, such as patient falls, infection rates, catheter-induced urinary infections, IV infections, et cetera.

Deliverable: Safety Score Improvement Plan

Develop a 3–5 page safety score improvement plan.

  • Identify the health care setting and nursing unit of your choice in the title of the mitigation plan. For example, “Safety Score Improvement Plan for XYZ Rehabilitation Center.”
  • You may choose to use information on a patient safety issue for the organization in which you currently work, or search for information from a setting you are familiar with, perhaps from your clinical work.      
    • Demonstrate systems theory and systems thinking as you develop your recommendations.

Organize your report with these headings:

Study of Factors

  • Identify a patient safety issue.
  • Describe the influence of nursing leadership in driving the needed changes.
  • Apply systems thinking to explain how current policies and procedures may affect a safety issue.

Recommendations

  1. Recommend an evidence-based strategy to improve the safety issue.
  2. Explain a strategy to collect information about the safety concern.      
    • How would you determine the sources of the problem?
  3. Explain a plan to implement a recommendation and monitor outcomes.      
    • What quality indicators will you use?
    • How will you monitor outcomes?
    • Will policies or procedures need to be changed?
    • Will nursing staff need training?
    • What tools will you need to do this?

Additional Requirements

  • Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
  • APA formatting: Resources and in-text citations should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting.
  • Length: The plan should be 3–5 pages.
  • Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point, double-spaced.
  • Number of resources: Use a minimum of three peer-reviewed resources.

When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee. 

From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.

As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the web article Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse Execs. 
  • Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or observed.

Post a description of at least one potential benefit of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Then, describe at least one potential challenge or risk of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Propose at least one strategy you have experienced, observed, or researched that may effectively mitigate the challenges or risks of using big data you described. Be specific and provide examples.

Research Critique Guidelines

To write a critical appraisal that demonstrates comprehension of the research study conducted, address each component below for qualitative study in the Topic 2 assignment and the quantitative study in the Topic 3 assignment.

Successful completion of this assignment requires that you provide a rationale, include examples, or reference content from the study in your responses.

Qualitative Study

Background of Study:

·         Identify the clinical problem and research problem that led to the study. What was not known about the clinical problem that, if understood, could be used to improve health care delivery or patient outcomes? This gap in knowledge is the research problem.

·         How did the author establish the significance of the study? In other words, why should the reader care about this study? Look for statements about human suffering, costs of treatment, or the number of people affected by the clinical problem.

·         Identify the purpose of the study. An author may clearly state the purpose of the study or may describe the purpose as the study goals, objectives, or aims.

·         List research questions that the study was designed to answer. If the author does not explicitly provide the questions, attempt to infer the questions from the answers.

·         Were the purpose and research questions related to the problem?

Method of Study:

·         Were qualitative methods appropriate to answer the research questions?

·         Did the author identify a specific perspective from which the study was developed? If so, what was it?

·         Did the author cite quantitative and qualitative studies relevant to the focus of the study? What other types of literature did the author include?

·         Are the references current? For qualitative studies, the author may have included studies older than the 5-year limit typically used for quantitative studies. Findings of older qualitative studies may be relevant to a qualitative study.

·         Did the author evaluate or indicate the weaknesses of the available studies?

·         Did the literature review include adequate information to build a logical argument?

·         When a researcher uses the grounded theory method of qualitative inquiry, the researcher may develop a framework or diagram as part of the findings of the study. Was a framework developed from the study findings?

Results of Study

·         What were the study findings?

·         What are the implications to nursing?

·         Explain how the findings contribute to nursing knowledge/science. Would this impact practice, education, administration, or all areas of nursing?

Ethical Considerations

·         Was the study approved by an Institutional Review Board?

·         Was patient privacy protected?

·         Were there ethical considerations regarding the treatment or lack of?

Conclusion

·         Emphasize the importance and congruity of the thesis statement.

·         Provide a logical wrap-up to bring the appraisal to completion and to leave a lasting impression and take-away points useful in nursing practice.

·         Incorporate a critical appraisal and a brief analysis of the utility and applicability of the findings to nursing practice.

·         Integrate a summary of the knowledge learned.

Quantitative Study

Background of Study:

·         Identify the clinical problem and research problem that led to the study. What was not known about the clinical problem that, if understood, could be used to improve health care delivery or patient outcomes? This gap in knowledge is the research problem.

·         Were the purpose and research questions related to the problem?

 Methods of Study

·         Identify the benefits and risks of participation addressed by the authors. Were there benefits or risks the authors do not identify?

·         Was informed consent obtained from the subjects or participants?

·         Did it seem that the subjects participated voluntarily in the study?

·         Was institutional review board approval obtained from the agency in which the study was conducted?

·         Are the major variables (independent and dependent variables) identified and defined? What were these variables?

·         How were data collected in this study?

·         What rationale did the author provide for using this data collection method?

·         Identify the time period for data collection of the study.

·         Describe the sequence of data collection events for a participant.

·         Describe the data management and analysis methods used in the study.

·         Did the author discuss how the rigor of the process was assured? For example, does the author describe maintaining a paper trail of critical decisions that were made during the analysis of the data? Was statistical software used to ensure accuracy of the analysis?

·         What measures were used to minimize the effects of researcher bias (their experiences and perspectives)? For example, did two researchers independently analyze the data and compare their analyses?

 Results of Study

·         What is the researcher’s interpretation of findings?

·         Are the findings valid or an accurate reflection of reality? Do you have confidence in the findings?

·         What limitations of the study were identified by researchers?
