BUS STAT QUESTIONS

1)   Many people do not “like” or “trust” single point estimates for things they need measured.  Looking back at the data examples you have provided in the previous discussion questions on this issue, how might adding confidence intervals help managers accept the results better?  Why?

Ask a manager in your organization if they would prefer a single point estimate or a range for important measures, and why?  Please share what they say. 2)   Chi-square tests are great to show if distributions differ or if two variables interact in producing outcomes.  What are some examples of variables

An Online Resource Repository

Communication in the health care environment consists of an information-sharing experience whether through oral or written messages (Chard & Makary, 2015). As health care organizations and nurses strive to create a culture of safety and quality care, the importance of interprofessional collaboration, the development of tool kits, and the use of wikis become more relevant and vital. In addition to the dissemination of information and evidence-based findings and the development of tool kits, continuous support for and availability of such resources are critical. Among the most popular methods to promote ongoing dialogue and information sharing are blogs, wikis, websites, and social media. Nurses know how to support people in time of need or crisis and how to support one another in the workplace; wikis in particular enable nurses to continue that support beyond the work environment. Here they can be free to share their unique perspectives, educate others, and promote health care wellness at local and global levels (Kaminski, 2016).

Professional Context

Nurses are often asked to implement processes, concepts, or practices—sometimes with little preparatory communication or education. One way to encourage sustainability of quality and process improvements is to assemble an accessible, user-friendly tool kit for knowledge and process documentation. Creating a resource repository or tool kit is also an excellent way to follow up an educational or in-service session, as it can help to reinforce attendees’ new knowledge as well as the understanding of its value. By practicing creating a simple online tool kit, you can develop valuable technology skills to improve your competence and efficacy.

Scenario

For this assessment, consider taking one of these two approaches:

  1. Build on the work done in your first three assessments and create an online tool kit or resource repository that will help the audience of your in-service understand the research behind your safety improvement plan and put the plan into action.
  2. Locate a safety improvement plan through an external resource (your current organization, Institution for Healthcare Improvement, or publicly available safety improve initiative) and create an online tool kit or resource repository that will help an audience understand the research behind the safety improvement plan and how to put the plan into action.

Preparation

Google Sites is recommended for this assessment; the tools are free to use and should offer you a blend of flexibility and simplicity as you create your online tool kit. Please note that this requires a Google account; use your Gmail or GoogleDocs login, or create an account following the directions under the “Create Account” menu.

Refer to the following links to help you get started with Google Sites:

  • Google. (n.d.). Google Sites. Retrieved from https://sites.google.com
  • Google. (n.d.). Sites help. Retrieved from https://support.google.com/sites/?hl=en#topic=

Instructions

Using Google Sites, assemble an online resource tool kit containing at least 12 annotated resources that you consider critical to the success of your safety improvement initiative. These resources should enable nurses and others to implement and maintain the safety improvement you have developed.

It is recommended that you focus on the 3 or 4 most critical categories or themes with respect to your safety improvement initiative. For example, if your initiative concerns improving workplace safety for practitioners, you might choose broad themes such as general organizational safety and quality best practices; environmental safety and quality risks; individual strategies to improve personal and team safety; and process best practices for reporting and improving environmental safety issues.

Following the recommended scheme, you would collect 3 resources on average for each of the 4 categories. Each resource listing should include the following:

  • An APA-formatted citation of the resource with a working link.
  • A description of the information, skills, or tools provided by the resource.
  • A brief explanation of how the resource can help nurses better understand or implement the safety improvement initiative.
  • A description of how nurses can use this resource and when its use may be appropriate.

Here is an example entry:

  • Merret, A., Thomas, P., Stephens, A., Moghabghab, R., & Gruneir, M. (2011). A collaborative approach to fall prevention. Canadian Nurse, 107(8), 24–29. Retrieved from www.canadian-nurse.com/articles/issues/2011/october-2011/a-collaborative-ap
    • This article presents the Geriatric Emergency Management-Falls Intervention Team (GEM-FIT) project. It shows how a collaborative nurse lead project can be implemented and used to improve collaboration and interdisciplinary teamwork, as well as improve the delivery of health care services. This resource is likely more useful to nurses as a resource for strategies and models for assembling and participating in an interdisciplinary team than for specific fall-prevention strategies. It is suggested that this resource be reviewed prior to creating an interdisciplinary team for a collaborative project in a health care setting.

Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

  • Identify necessary resources to support the implementation and continued sustainability of a safety improvement initiative.
  • Analyze the usefulness of resources to the role group responsible for implementing quality and safety improvements.
  • Analyze the value of resources to reduce patient safety risk.
  • Present compelling reasons and relevant situations for use of resource tool kit by its target audience.
  • Communicate in a clear, logically structured, and professional manner that applies current APA style and formatting.

Earlier in class, we saw how the western European economies, especially of France, has higher living standards than we do. One of the reasons is they do not have the severe “economic underclass” as well as crime in inner cities problems we do that cost so much money. Therefore they can afford their great benefits. Check out these 3 examples below of our inner city problems, and an attempt to make situation better.

“I’m glad I caught you before you left,” he says.

“What can I do for you, George?”

“I just got out of a committee meeting with some of the other board members,” he says. “Among other things, we are considering an option to expand internationally. Naturally, we need to determine the relevant factors to consider before making the decision.”

“I think I see where this is going,” you say. “It sounds like you want me to list, describe, and analyze the most important factors that must be considered. Am I right?

“You are correct,” he says. “I should think five factors would be enough. Please consider the pros, cons, and risk factors, too.”

“Do you want me to add a recommendation?” you ask.

“Yes,” he says. “Once you have analyzed these factors, provide a recommendation on whether or not you would expand the company’s product line to automotive manufacturing companies located in other countries.”

“OK,” you say. “I can get this to you by Friday morning next week. Is that soon enough?”

“That’s perfect” he says. “Thanks.”

  • Quality Versus Quantity
  • Lessons From Experience: Quality Versus Quantity     



    Introduction

    The story that you are about to read is from actual events that occurred in the field. Its purpose is to provide you with a real-world example from a seasoned professional in the business world.

    Quality Versus Quantity

    Starting my own jewelry business, I was new to manufacturing. When I had to choose a manufacturer to produce my jewelry pieces, I didn’t look at the quality produced so much as I focused on the quantity that was produced. I was more concerned with the bottom line—just like a true financial analyst would be. Even though I got record-breaking production and pricing in the short term, in the long term, the manufacturer I chose was producing subquality items that cost my company significantly. Many of my customers returned their products because of quality issues. They got a good deal on my products, but I almost lost my business because of the cost of repair. I wasn’t evaluating both quality and quantity on an equal basis. The numbers made sense, but I should have given quality the same attention I gave to quantity. Quality and quantity are equally important for my company. 

    It is important to take away the following from this scenario: 

    · Quality should never be underestimated.

Essay

Deliverable Length:  1,200 words, including research in essay format

Production Manager at AutoEdge, Sam Busch, is new to the company. He asks to meet with you to discuss some questions he has.

“Thanks for meeting with me on such short notice,” he says. “I’m still getting familiar with the situation here, and I

could use your help.”

“Certainly,” you say. “And congratulations on your new position with AutoEdge.”

“Thanks,” he says. “I am preparing for a presentation to the board in 2 weeks. I’ve reviewed the most recent production reports, and I see that we are currently producing an engine part, for example, in South Korea for $110. This cost is much lower compared to the cost of producing the same part in the United States, which is $320 per unit. The disparity might be attributed to the cost of labor, unions, overhead, and operating costs.”

“That makes sense,” you say.

“If we return the manufacturing operations to the United States,” he says, “what types of short-term and long-term variable and fixed costs should we consider? What costs should we expect if we stay in South Korea? What financial risks are the company and the stakeholders exposed to?”

“Those are all good questions,” you say. “Can I give this some thought and get back to you?”

“Sure,” he says. “I’ll be working on my presentation next week. I’d like to get your opinion about these questions and the supporting research so I can include it.”

“That works for me,” you say. “Glad I can help.”
