•Many envision a US healthcare system that includes the ability to productively engage patients about their health care.
•Patient portals can serve as a tool to electronically interface with patients and Meaningful Use has explicitly included several areas to address. But just as electronic health records need to work for those at the point of service, so do systems to engage patients.
•What specifically might portals do to engage patients? Lay out a strategy to drive patient adoption by offering compelling functionality that is not included in the Meaningful Use requirements. Provide detail and examples

 

 

1.Quantitative Research Designs

In order to find the best information on a topic, not only should you develop a question and search for resources, but you should also know how to analyze the value of the resources that you identify. There are different ways to evaluate resources, such as using the hierarchy of evidence, which you explored in Week 4 of this course. Another way to evaluate resources is to consider the appropriateness of the research design. Understanding how research designs contribute to the quality of a study is essential for being able to analyze resources when conducting a literature review or locating evidence for practice.

In this Discussion, you consider the different research designs and evaluate how these designs have been used to research a specific topic. You also consider strategies for selecting an appropriate research design.

To prepare:

· Review the information in the course text on quantitative research designs. Focus on the information on, “Guidelines for Critiquing Research Designs in Quantitative Studies”.

· Select a topic from the list below and search the Walden Library to find two different quantitative research studies addressing that issue:

o Caregiver stress

o Anxiety in children

o Sleep apnea

o Depression in college freshmen

o Rural health care issues

o Post-traumatic stress syndrome

o Traumatic brain injury in veterans

o Health effects of environmental contaminants

o Bipolar disorder

o End-of-life ethical issues

o Alternative medicine

· For each of the sources that you select, identify the type of quantitative research design used, and evaluate whether it is the most appropriate approach to the research.

· Consider the ramifications of choosing an inappropriate design for a research study.

Your assignment is to create a real-world public relations media kit for a client. Please select your own client for this assignment. The client

can be an organization you belong to, an area company for which you work or have worked, a volunteer agency, or one you make up.
Your media kit must include three items:

1) a news release;

2) a backgrounder (perhaps a biography of the client, a history
of a particular event, etc.); and

3) a fact sheet (a distillation of the news release).

Your media kit may include more than these three documents (photographs, photo opportunity sheets, maps, product samples, etc.), but any

additional material will not affect the grade. Your work will be evaluated on the content, organization, format and grammar of the three

documents.

Please prepare each document in print format – as if it appeared on paper.

You are a training officer in a criminal justice agency. You have noticed that new hired officers seem to struggle with report writing. You have decided to provide a tool that outlines the qualities of an effective report in an easily referenced format.

Create a chart or table using Microsoft^® Word that includes the following:

•  An introduction identifying some of the types and uses of written communication in the criminal justice field
• The main requirements and features of a police report
• Definitions and explanations of those requirements and features in one or two sentences
• A summary that explains why the features identified are essential to an effective report, and why an effective report is important in the criminal justice process
• All quoted and paraphased material must be referenced. 

You have been provided some examples for this assignment. Create your own, but use it as a guide for informational purposes.

1. Consider A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson. In her narrative, Rowlandson provides an account of the time she spent in captivity. The narrative documents the abduction of Rowlandson and the death of some of her family members, and clearly one of the purposes of the work is to describe this terrible time in her life. However, the narrative also serves to describe the Native American culture. Rowlandson makes several observations about the similarities/differences in cultural traditions between the Native Americans and the European settlers. Discuss one similarity and one difference that Rowlandson describes. What is her attitude toward these differences?

2.Fight for Freedom. Consider Douglass’s speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” What logic does he use to make his point? His speech contains a lot of emotion, including anger. His anger is certainly justified, but does his anger take away from the effectiveness from his argument? Describe a time when you argued a position you were angry about. Were you able to make an effective argument? Why or why not?
