The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate empirical research as  it relates to your PICOT question.

Directions:

Using feedback from your instructor on your PICOT question and  annotated bibliographies, revise your PICOT question and annotations.

Using your annotations, write a 1,250-1500 word paper, in which you  evaluate the literature, including the study conclusions, merits, and  shortcomings. Your evaluation should address the following questions,  and your conclusions should be supported with appropriate citations.

1. In which studies are the themes of the literature review similar? Different?
2. In which studies do the data support the conclusion?
3. In which studies do the conclusions answer the research question?
4. What questions would you ask the authors?
5. How might the evidence in these studies be of use to refining you PICOT question or perhaps formulating or implementing your DPI project?

Patient safety is a critical component of effective risk management in health care organizations. Poor patient safety practices can cost health care organizations a lot of money and increase hospital stays, costs, and loss of revenue.

For this assignment, create a PowerPoint presentation on effective patient safety that includes the following:

• Describe the concept of patient safety and what health care organizations can do to improve it.
• Select 1 primary risk to effective patient safety, and provide an overview of the issue.
• Discuss how a health care organization can mitigate the risk associated with the issue you selected.

The use of the Notes section is required with 100–150 words per section. The use of at least 4 scholarly sources is required. The use of APA style is required.

Deliverable Length:  8-10 slides (not including title and reference slides)

Human hormones control everything within the body (as well as the behaviors of others around us). Select one hormone and discuss what would happen to the body if it was no longer produced, if too much of it were to appear in the body, and what you could do about it if levels were incorrect . 100-200 words

Write a 500-750-word analysis of your selected article. Include the following in your analysis: 

What are the key differences between qualitative and quantitative research

What are the Differences between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes? Some cells are primitive and some more advanced. Which are which? Which type of cells are we made up of? Why did one type evolve before the other? 200 WORDS

Why are some pathogenic bacteria resistant to antibiotics? Some common bacteria are capable of causing disease if they find themselves in the wrong place. We call them “opportunists”. Many of these bacteria are becoming increasingly drug-resistant. That is, antibiotics that were once used to kill them, are no longer effective. Let’s discuss together why this is occurring and what steps each of us can take to minimize the likelihood of creating these “super bugs.” What simple means can you take to prevent getting infected by them? 200-250 WORDS

What are the differences between Antiseptics, Disinfectants and Antibiotics? We just learned about microbial genetics, how cells divide and what their nutritional needs are. Some substances inhibit bacterial growth, some can kill cells. Which ones do which? Can you provide examples? 250 WORDS

What are your research interests in the area of Information Technology? Why are you inspired to research in this area, and why do you think it is important to research in this area?
Why did you select PhD in Information Technology? Why did you select University of the Cumberlands?
As an individual, what are your strengths and weaknesses and how will they impact you as a PhD IT student?
Where do you see the future of Information Technology going and where do you see yourself in this mix after obtaining PhD in Information Technology from UC?
