According to Black (2011), “nursing research enhances the status of nursing as a profession by expanding nursing’s scientific knowledge base.” (pg. 268). "The information revolution that is transforming the present and shaping the future has made reading, understanding, and using nursing research as fundamental to professional practice as are knowledge of asepsis, application of the nursing process, and communication skills"(Blais, 2011). EBP is one of the many reasons that magnet hospitals are so successful. Magnet hospitals have brought improved patient care, patient satisfaction along with nursing satisfaction to the forefront by using systems that foster evidence based practice (Saver, 2006).
Future Trends and Effects of EHR Angelene Sears HCIS/265 September 28, 2014 Lucinda Shipley Future Trends and Effects of EHR Electronic health records are enhancing patient overall health care across the country today. We have a system that allows doctors, hospitals, and all health care providers to communicate securely and warehouse patient records. So if you’re at home or in another state, get ill or wounded, the information about your medical state is available to medical providers attending you. Hospitals and physician that utilize digital systems see many benefits of EHR’s over paper records, and this exchange of health information means providing better quality of patient care. New technologies are continuously in advancement
Instead, he suggested, we should look only at the external, observable causes of human behavior. Skinner used the term operant to refer to any "active behavior that operates upon the environment to generate consequences". In other words, Skinner's theory explained how we acquire the range of learned behaviors we exhibit each and every day. Bandura – Social Learning Theory The social learning theory proposed by Albert Bandura has become perhaps the most influential theory of learning and development. While rooted in many of the basic concepts of traditional learning theory, Bandura believed that direct reinforcement could not account for all types of learning.
On the other hand, if a psychologist would take a behavioral approach, which focuses on behavioral responses, followed by enjoyable consequences being enforced or strengthened. He might believe that Jake has not done well on his first exam and has not received the positive consequence of success, which made him feel anxious instead of happy. He would probably tell Jake to study and then take practice tests until he succeeds in all of the possible questions, so studying will bring about success and favorable consequences, reinforcing good study habits. Another psychologist who takes a cognitive approach, which focuses on how people remember, store, and use information, might suggest that Jake’s study habits need to be reevaluated. Jake may need to take a different approach to studying in order to remember and apply information learned correctly.
The teacher was told that the object of the experiment was to study the effects of punishment on learning. They are also told that their role in the experiment was to read word lists to the learner and the learner must remember the second word from a list of word pairs they had read earlier. If the learner got the answer wrong, then the teacher was told to administer shocks, for each answer that the learner got wrong, and the shocks had to increase in intensity. The teacher is unaware of the fact that the learner is actually an actor, and receives no shock. The experiments, involving the Undergrad students from Yale, resulted in 60
Performance measures indicate where an organization needs to make improvements in order to provide quality care. Consumer/patient satisfaction is the ultimate guide that indicates if an organization’s ongoing QI Plan is effective. One of the driving forces behind management in an organization is the overall basic aspect of performance measures. Quality Improvement process is based on customer/patient satisfaction and measures how the health care organization accommodates or exceeds consumer/patient
Cheating, fear of failure are just some of the examples that existing in the graded-oriented environment. Measureable outcomes are necessary but it doesn’t mean that teachers have to turn everything into numbers; in fact grades are the “least significant results of learning”. Although the absence of “assessment-based grading” is a necessary; teachers should consider these following grading techniques: replace numbers and letter with rubrics, prepare students to every test without fortify their knowledge, post grades online only add more destructive effects on learning, students are willing to read your comments about their works and finally
How might advances in technology and medicine enable consumers to make healthy or unhealthy choices? Provide examples. HCS/490 June 2, 2015 Conversation Starter Technology is a great tool that has become an integrated part of our lives making them more convenient, efficient, and productive. Health care, like many other industries, has undergone an explosion of innovative concepts and applications that make our lives in many ways, more efficient and convenient, and in some cases, helping us to make better, informed decisions. Some examples of technological revolutionary applications in healthcare that allow us to make better decisions, are the use of computers and other electronic devices.
NOTES FOR INTERVIEW 2 Supporting the Underacheiving Student The aim of this article is to support and enable the mentor to critically reflect on the processes involved in supporting and managing a learner who is failing to meet the NMC proficiencies for registration, developing an action plan to resolve this situation. This can be used as portfolio evidence for your personal development plan. Learning Outcomes: On completion of this workshop you should be able to: * Identify and critically reflect on the common behaviours of the underachieving student. * Utilise a problem solving approach to construct an Action Plan to support the learning needs of an underachieving student. * Based on the best evidence, consider the implications of failing a student * Critically reflect on the consequences of “Failing to Fail” Demonstrate recordable evidence of mentorship update which is relevant to remain on the mentor register database Identifying the Underachieving Student: Most students successfully achieve their learning outcomes on placement.
From the moment we are born to the day we die, we are constantly learning new things. Some people associate learning only with school or other educational institutes, but we learn in different places and situations our life. In the 1930s, American psychologist B.F.Skinner proposed that learning is the result of the application of consequences. It means that any behavior that has good consequences will tend to be repeated, and any behavior that has bad consequences will tend to be avoided. B. F. Skinner defined this method of learning as a “Operant conditioning”: the type of learning in which voluntary reply is strengthened if it is positively reinforced and weakened if it is punished.
