Evidence-Based Practice and the Quadruple Aim

/in /by

 PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION BELOW

5 REFERENCES

ZERO PLAGIARISM

Healthcare organizations continually seek to optimize healthcare performance. For years, this approach was a three-pronged one known as the Triple Aim, with efforts focused on improved population health, enhanced patient experience, and lower healthcare costs.

More recently, this approach has evolved to a Quadruple Aim by including a focus on improving the work life of healthcare providers. Each of these measures are impacted by decisions made at the organizational level, and organizations have increasingly turned to EBP to inform and justify these decisions.

To Prepare:

  • Read the articles by Sikka, Morath, & Leape (2015); Crabtree, Brennan, Davis, & Coyle (2016); and Kim et al. (2016) provided in the Resources.
  • Reflect on how EBP might impact (or not impact) the Quadruple Aim in healthcare.
  • Consider the impact that EBP may have on factors impacting these quadruple aim elements, such as preventable medical errors or healthcare delivery.

To Complete:

Write a brief analysis (no longer than 2 pages) of the connection between EBP and the Quadruple Aim.

Your analysis should address how EBP might (or might not) help reach the Quadruple Aim, including each of the four measures of:

  • Patient experience
  • Population health
  • Costs
  • Work life of healthcare providers

Global Awereness Article

/in /by

 

Assignment Name: Global Awareness Article
Purpose: Construct an evidence-based argumentative history paper
Skills:

  • Produce argumentative, thesis-driven, and evidence-based academic papers.
  • Construct evidence-based arguments demonstrating how regional and/or global processes shaped the development of a local issue in Southern Africa. (Global Awareness)

Knowledge:

  • Assess key events, central themes, and questions pertaining to South African history.

Task:

Write a minimum 500-word article contextualizing your chosen issue/topic in the historical regional, national, and/or international context. Think of this paper as the chronological overview or starting point of the topic.

For example, say you were interested in Apartheid and narrowed down you focus to the township of Soweto. If your Travel Guide topic is “Taking a Stand in Soweto” you would want to use this article assignment to write a context paper that examines the “big picture” of the Soweto township >> When and how was it created? Who lived there? Etc. You’d want to start with the discovery of gold in Johannesburg in the late nineteenth century, and discuss the impact of immigration and the mining economy on local populations. You would also want to explain how Soweto was created in the early 20th century as a way to create separate black townships. You would also want to provide context of the grievances that those in the township had against the government and explain how this resulted in the Soweto Uprising. 

Make sure your paper begins with an introduction, continues with body paragraphs, and ends with a brief conclusion. Your introduction must feature a straightforward thesis statement that identifies your historical argument. Your argument for this particular paper should answer the question: How did the regional, national, and/or international context shape the development of or effect the outcome of the topic under scrutiny? Your body paragraphs need to begin with topic sentences that establish a connection to your argument.

Double-space all text (except for footnote text). Use margins of one inch on each side of each page. Indent the first line of each paragraph.

Your paper must be at least 500 words, but should be as long as necessary to effectively answer the prompt. Paginate the paper throughout and include a word count at the end.

Submit as a Microsoft Word or PDF file.

Format your paper in accordance with the standards of the Chicago Manual of Style (Links to an external site.). Identify all directly and indirectly cited content with the aid of proper footnotes (Links to an external site.).

Submit the paper to Canvas by the date indicated. Please and by all means heed what the syllabus states with regard to academic honesty (particularly plagiarism) and late submissions.
