Regulatory Environment and Requirements

Select a risk management issue within a specific health care setting or organization. For your initial post to this discussion, construct a plan for regulatory compliance and address principles of high reliability organizations (Youngberg, 2011, p. 346–347). Begin your discussion by defining your selected issue and setting. Then, explain your plan and cite resources and personal experience as appropriate. The issue you select for this discussion will be the focus of the executive summary portion of this unit’s assignment, in which you must create an executive summary that describes your organization’s compliance with the regulatory requirement to promptly identify POAs and proactively assess and manage risk.

Initial posts should be based upon peer-reviewed, evidence-based literature. In your post, include at least one APA-formatted in-text citation and accompanying, congruent APA-formatted reference. Your source can be a course textbook, assigned reading, or other scholarly source.

Response Guidelines

Respond to the posts of other learners according to the Faculty Expectations Response Guidelines. If possible, respond to one learner who has a perspective, background, or goals that are similar to yours, and to one learner whose perspective, background, or goals are different. Peer responses should be substantive and must include one peer-reviewed source that aligns with the discussion thread. You may feel free to add an additional source that is new or provides a completely different perspective. “I agree” and “Thanks for sharing your insights” are examples of responses that do not contribute content for enhanced learning and are not acceptable. The goal is quality, substantive feedback that demonstrates higher order critical thinking and evaluation of peers’ initial posts.

Overview/Description: 

The purpose of this assignment is to describe, evaluate and discuss application of a nursing grand or mid-range theory. This assignment also provides the learner an opportunity to connect theory and research to nursing phenomena. Learners will develop an 8-10 page paper (excluding the title page and references) using APA style to address the elements listed below. 

Theory/Author Name and Background 

1. Select a Grand or Mid-Range Theory that is appropriate to your practice setting. 
2. Describe the theorist’s background in detail and discuss how their experiences have impacted the theory development. 
3. Examine crucial references for the original and/or current work of the theorist and other authors writing about the selected theory.
4. Identify the phenomenonof concernor problems addressed by the theory.

Theory Description 

1. Explain whether the theory uses deductive, inductive or retroductive reasoning. Provide evidence to support your conclusion. 
2. Describe the major concepts of the theory.  How are they defined? (theoretically and/or operationally) Is the author consistentin the use of the concepts and other terms in the theory? 
3. Interpret how the concepts are defined.  Implicitly or explicitly?
4. Examine the relationships (propositions) among the major concepts. 

Evaluation

1. Identify explicit and implicit assumptions (values/beliefs) underlying the theory. On what assumptions does the theory build?
2. Examine if the theory has a description of the four concepts of the nursing metaparadigm. If so, how are they explained in the theory? If the metapardigm is not explained, what elements do you see as relevant to the theory and why?
3. Discuss the clarity of the theory.  Did it have lucidness and consistency?

Application

1. Examine how the theory would guide nursing actions.
2. Describe specificallyhow you can use this theory in your area of nursing (Practice, Education, Informatics or Administration).

Question Description

The details are given below.

ACCEPTABLE TYPES OF PROJECTS

The project will be of two generic types:

• Application project: An application of a specific set of software metrics and/or quality engineering techniques discussed in class and a report of the activities, experience and related findings. For example, you may define/select/collect metrics data from one of your company’s projects, perform various analyses, and identify problematic areas for focused quality/productivity improvement. 
  It is a good idea to consider multiple metrics, preferably from different metrics categories. For example, some internal, some external metrics. When you measure quality, multiple quality attributes/characteristics are preferable to a single one. For this reason, and for a good learning experience, a pure SRE (software reliability engineering) project is not suitable for this class, although it might be perfectly OK for CSE 8317 Software Reliability and Safety, which covers a subset of the quality metrics we cover in this class, together with other material not covered here and in more depth.
• Term research paper: A term paper covering some in-depth (theoretical or fundamental research) and/or up-to-date (research done in the last few years) study of a chosen topic. If you choose this option, you must study at least three papers (no survey papers as your sources, please!) of a closely related topic thoroughly, and your conclusions and observations must be your own based on your own experience, specifically conducted cases studies, and/or logical reasoning. The summary of the chosen papers is only a small part of your term paper, the focus should be on issues mentioned above. One concrete example is a study of hypothesis testing using metrics data. Another example is metrics usage and modeling for cloud computing as a new application area. 
  (For those of you who are familiar with technical publications, your term research paper is similar to some “survey papers” you see from time to time in journals. — You see, your are producing a survey paper here. That’s why I don’t want you to use survey papers as your primary sources.)

Students may form a team to do a application-type project if it is of a larger scale/scope that requires team effort (must be well justified). However, if one chooses to write a term paper, it should be an individual effort.

PROJECT PROPOSAL (AND PRE-PROPOSAL)

You project proposal should be around 3-5 double spaced pages in length, and should include the following information:

• a proper title (not just project for CSE 8314)
• an proper abstract, that should be written as an executive summary
• clearly identify the problem that you are going to address, or topic area for your term paper,
• some basic background information,
• the solution strategy you intend to use (what are you going to measure? how? which analysis/modeling technique? etc.) for your application project or a selected topic areas with some candidate papers or sources.
• a rough schedule
• for application-type projects, you also need to discuss:
  • measurement implementation and data collection,
  • analysis of result to be performed,
  • followup actions,
• for term papers, you also need to pay attention to:
  • importance and relevance of the selected topic and its relation to the specific topic(s) we discussed in class.
  • importance and contribution of candidate papers
  • diversity of candidate papers, all or most should be from diverse published sources (see my comments about hw#1).
  • if you have access to relevant internal reports, they will probably be more relevant, but you should tie them to the “state-of-art” published research.

In case of a group project (application project only, not term paper), please also provide information regarding roles and responsibilities.

PROJECT PRESENTATION

Each presentation will be between 15 and 30 minutes. Please focus more on the important activities and findings, not too much on the background and details.

PROJECT REPORT

A project report or term paper should be around 15 double-spaced pages in length, and clearly and comprehensively describes the background, problem, strategy, metrics, activities, result analysis, lessons learned, followup actions, and summary/conclusions. A high level summary or an abstract should also be included at the beginning of your report.

If you’d like to, raw data and detailed modeling/analysis activities should be included in the appendix. Remember, it is a “report” after all. Not a collection of data and models without description/discussion.

For term papers, please also include, in the appendix, the titles and abstracts of the papers your covered in detail. In additional, if the paper(s) was not publicly available (e.g., internal reports), you need to include a copy of the paper(s) with your report. These documents are not counted in the 15-page limit.
