  • What impact on healthcare do you see related to cultural issues (disparities)

data analytics

/in /by

 Scenario:  

Your organization is planning to purchase a tool for data analytics. You have been asked to make a recommendation for two tools. 

Your organization is also researching the application of data warehousing, big data, and data mining. You have also been asked to make an evaluation of how data warehousing, big data, and data mining can be beneficial to a healthcare system. Some members of your audience may be unfamiliar with these concepts, so part of your goal is to provide background information.

 

  • Research two data analytics tools that you would recommend in response to the scenario above.  
  • Thoroughly investigate the specifications of each tool and consider the pros, cons, and hardware requirements of each tool. 
  • Using supporting evidence from the articles you researched, create a PowerPoint presentation with the following information:
    • Recommend two tools for data analytics and explain why they would be beneficial to your organization.
    • Provide a description of big data, data mining, and data warehousing.
    • Provide an analysis of how data mining can be beneficial to a healthcare system.
    • Explain the purpose, characteristics, and components of a data warehouse.
    • Explain how the type of data warehousing used can impact the ability to mine data.
    • Describe examples of the successful use of guided data mining and automated data mining within healthcare.
    • Support your work with references from this week’s Learning Resources and the three articles you found in the Walden Library.
  • Provide references in APA style at the end of your presentation—the reference slide or slides do not count toward your assignment total.

literature review

/in /by

Write a detailed, 2-page description of an appropriate literature search strategy and execute that strategy by locating a minimum of 20 scholarly publications. Then, analyze each source and identify main themes. Also, complete steps 2 and 3

Step 1: Develop and Execute an Appropriate Search Strategy.

Write a detailed, 2-page description of an appropriate literature search strategy. Then, use that strategy to locate a minimum of 20 scholarly sources, published within the last five years (unless seminal, practice guideline, or consensus statement), addressing your PICOT question. You may need to find additional sources if you do not have at least two sources that address the same main theme (see Step 3).

Step 2: Document and Analyze the Evidence.

Analyzing the evidence you have gathered in a literature search is necessary to develop a coherent synthesis of your findings. Use the 

Evidence Table [XLSX]


 Download Evidence Table [XLSX]
template to help you document and analyze the source materials you have located for this assessment.

Step 3: Identify Main Themes in the Literature.

Organizing your evidence by main themes or ideas addressed in each source will help you identify commonalities and differences in research questions, methodologies, and findings, and gaps in the research. Sort your evidence using the 

Main Themes Table [XLSX]

and locate additional sources if you do not have at least two sources that address the same main theme.

EXAMINING NURSING SPECIALTIES

You have probably seen one or more of the many inspirational posters about decisions. A visual such as a forked road or a street sign is typically pictured, along with a quote designed to inspire.

Decisions are often not so easily inspired. Perhaps you discovered this when choosing a specialty within the MSN program. This decision is a critical part of your plan for success, and you no doubt want to get it right. This is yet another area where your network can help, as well as other sources of information that can help you make an informed choice.


Note

: Unless otherwise noted, initial postings to Discussions are due on or before Day 3, and response postings are due on or before Day 6. You are required to participate in the Discussion on at least three different days (a different day for main post and each response). It is important to adhere to the weekly time frame to allow others ample time to respond to your posting. In addition, you are expected to respond to questions directed toward your own initial posting in a timely manner.
