Prepare

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 1 in your course textbook: College Writing Handbook.

This course is designed to intentionally walk you through the steps of the research process. While research is the process whereby you locate and evaluate sources related to a specific topic, you need to start with the bigger picture! It is important to set clear goals about what general subject to research and then work to narrow that focus. You will do that with the assignments and activities in Week 2, so feel free to look ahead and examine the path you’ll take. But this discussion helps put you on the path. 

 

Reflect

Every professional field is different, which seems obvious though the reasons are more complex than it might seem. These differences are partly due to the specific outcomes or job titles associated with the field as well as the types of duties the profession requires. Differences also result from the particular soft skills associated with the field, the mindset required, and the actual day-to-day experience within that profession. Think about the professional field that you intend to enter. How directly is it related to your major? What do you already know about your intended profession? What has drawn you to it?

 

Write

In 250 to 300 words, address the following points:

• Identify the professional field (academic major or career track) that you are interested in.
• Describe what has led to your interest in this field.
  • You should write several sentences here developing both your personal and professional reasons for this.
• Explain a specific aspect about this field that most excites you.
  • Think about qualities or job duties that seem most compelling or intriguing to you.
• Examine areas within your field that you might like to know more about.
  • Knowing that you will soon begin the research process, you might consider where this research will take you.

Topic 1 DQ 2

The inclusion of evidence-based practice provides nurses with the scientific research and experience to make a comprehensive decision. The practice enables the nurses to re-evaluate the risks and only adopt the best mechanism to ensure an improved patient outcome. Patients are also able to receive the best available outcomes. It is very advisable to move the nursing practice to be evidence-based to ensure that there is patient-centered care that is safe, inclusive, and effective. However, there have been barriers towards this progress since only 15% of U.S practice is evidence-based. One of the barriers which have led to lagging behind in adopting evidence-based practice is nurse shortage. Evidence-based practice requires massive documentation and research together with increased testing and experience. This requires a large human resource which is not available due to nurse shortage across the united states (Stavor et al., 2017). This has acted as a barrier towards the goal of moving practice to evidence-based. The government should employ more nurses and also dedicate some of the workforces specifically to matters to do with shifting traditional caregiving to EBP.

The second barrier is unsupportive administration. Research indicates that over 70% of nurses know about evidence-based practice, but the barriers to the practice in a clinical setting make it hard for them to adopt it. To move practice to EBP requires active collaboration from all stakeholders and more so from the administration of the healthcare setting. However, most administrations have been termed as unsupportive for the move due to the challenges of resources involved in the move. EPB presents a huge cost in the beginning due to its data requirements. However, it is able to reduce the cost of healthcare by 35% after its implementation. Lack of support from the management makes it hard to move nursing practice to EBP in a clinical setting since it’s a collaborative activity that requires dedicated and goal-oriented leadership (Duncombe, 2018). Policies and regulations should be created which force the push to enable the administration of various healthcare to have no otherwise but to comply in the shift.

As unprecedented development in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of disease bring Americans closer than ever to the promise of personalized health care, we are faced with similarly unprecedented challenges to identify and deliver the care most appropriate for individual needs and conditions. Care that is important is often not delivered. Care that is delivered is often not important. In part, this is due to our failure to apply the evidence we have about the medical care that is most effective a failure related to shortfalls in provider knowledge and accountability, inadequate care coordination and support, lack of insurance, poorly aligned payment incentives, and misplaced patient expectations. Increasingly, it is also a result of out limited capacity for timely generation of evidence on the relative effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of available and emerging interventions. Improving the value of the return on our healthcare investment is a vital imperative that will require much greater capacity to evaluate high priority clinical interventions, stronger links between clinical research and practice, and reorientation of the incentives to apply new insights. We must quicken out efforts to position evidence development and application as natural outgrowth of clinical care to foster health care that learns. “ Evidence-based nursing practice is a process created by the gathering, interpretation, and incorporation of legitimate, significant, and applicable research. The purpose of EBP is to use the data produced by scientific research in clinical practice.” ( Manal Hamed Mahmoud, 2019)

Write a paper of 1,250-1,500 words that discusses the team-based approaches to the delivery of health services. The focus of the paper should be one type of health care environment, such as a hospital, primary care, or long-term care facility. Within your paper, be sure to do the following:

1. Present a patient case (this does not need to be detailed).
2. Describe the collaborative team that would deliver care and their individual roles, including credentialing, licensing, and regulation.
3. Identify and describe the indicators and determinants of health that would influence or impact this case.
4. Describe the impact this collaborative team-based approach would have on management and line staff.
5. Explain key financial and resource challenges for consumers and insurance companies as they apply to this model. Explain how the resource challenges may affect the collaborative team.
6. From a leadership position, explain the advantages of using a collaborative team-based approach.

Support your writing with three to five scholarly peer-reviewed resources.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

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

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

In cost accounting, direct costs are easily and economically traced to cost object. On the other hand, overheads cannot be economically traced to cost object. Therefore, allocating overheads is considered as the main problem in cost accounting, whereas traditional methods such as Single plantwide factory overhead rate method and Multiple production department factory overhead rate method have been used. In addition, developed methods such as Activity based costing method (ABC) has been used to enhance the allocation of overheads to cost object.

Students are required to criticize both traditional methods and explain how is ABC being applied to a manufacturing company? What are the disadvantages of the ABC method?
