Evidence-Based Practice Research

DISCUSSION: USING QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE METHODS TO INFORM EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE

Chronic pain affects millions of Americans. Diagnosing, treating, and understanding chronic pain creates many challenges for healthcare. Is the challenge on how to properly diagnose and manage a patient’s pain? Or is the challenge on whether or not to prescribe pain medications given the concerns with addiction as a result of the opioid epidemic?

Consider the questions posed above. How might the use of qualitative and quantitative methods serve to provide answers for researchers regarding the challenges associated with chronic pain? What can qualitative data provide that quantitative data cannot, and vice versa? How might a mixed methods approach fill in the gaps to provide a clearer understanding of the problem and potential solutions?

For this Discussion, reflect on an issue or problem in healthcare that may benefit from a mixed methods approach. Think about the differences between qualitative and quantitative research methods and designs, as well as how these two methods might work well together. Consider how a mixed methods approach supports evidence-based practice.

Business Case Project

By Assignment Expert Blog

Business Case Project

Identify a project that is of interest to you. The best source would be through a general internet search and/or local media sources. This can be one of the projects identified in Problem Set #1, if it fits the criteria below. When selecting a project of interest to you, avoid picking one that is either too big or too small. For example, do not decide to build a new stadium for your local sports team (too big) or to plant your summer garden (too small). Select a project that you can relate to and have some experience with or that may be ongoing or recently completed in your hometown. Projects must be within the budget range of $500,000 to $5,000,000. Project time frame must be between 6 months and 3 years. To ensure you are on the right track, you can ask your instructor’s advice in selecting an appropriate project. You will be using this project throughout the course to complete future Problem Sets.

Part 1: Provide a brief overview of the selected project. This will include an explanation of how the project specifically fits the four (4) elements of the Kloppenborg definition. The specific definition to utilize is as follows: “A project is a 1) new, 2) time-bound effort that has a definite beginning and a definite ending with 3) several related and/or interdependent tasks to 4) create a unique product or service” (Kloppenborg 2019, p. 4). This essay should be five (5) paragraphs long with the first paragraph providing the project overview and then one paragraph each explaining specifically how your selection fits each of the four (4) identified elements of a project. Do not just state that it does fit these four (4) elements you must thoroughly demonstrate that it does. Use examples from the project. This essay should be single-spaced, and each paragraph indented. Do not number the paragraphs.

Business Case Project

Part 2: Upon completion of the essay, you will draft a descriptive title for your project. The Project Title should be a descriptive statement of your project. This is not like a book title which is usually short and very simple. For example, in 1985 the I-71/I-75 Brent Spence Bridge, which spans the Ohio River between Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, had the emergency lanes removed to add traffic lanes due to an increase in traffic over this bridge (third busiest bridge in the US). So, to ensure a descriptive project title, a simple title like “Brent Spence Bridge Project” would not be sufficient. This provides no information on the project scope. A more descriptive title would be “I-71/I-75 Brent Spence Bridge project to expand northbound and southbound traffic lanes from three lanes to four lanes (1985)”.

After creating a descriptive title for your project, you will draft a Business Case for your project. Using exactly one hundred (100) words you will provide a brief overview of the project including important scope information. The Business Case is the “bridge” between the high-level and very general Background and the more specific Project Scope Statement. It will include both why the project is needed and what, specifically, is going to be completed during the project. This should incorporate what work (or Deliverables/sub-projects) are going to be done during the project and does not mean what objectives the project hopes to achieve. For example, a bridge renovation project would need to state, “solidify bridge pier structure” (a deliverable/sub-project) and not “increase vehicle traffic” (an objective).

Business Case Project

Also, it needs to provide some scope elements to allow the reader to “picture” the project in their head. This includes items such as budget, size, time frame, and other specific and measurable elements of the project.

Assignment should be single-spaced. Do not change formatting of this template.

Use APA referencing style.

Unemployment Rates

By Assignment Expert Blog

Unemployment Rates the U.S. economy started shedding manufacturing jobs and gained services sector jobs in the 1990s, a trend that has largely continued. Why has this been so prevalent and how has it impacted wages and employment levels? Finally, how do employment levels (unemployment rates) impact wage levels? As the number of middle-class and upper-income families continues to grow, the need for service-based employees also expands. This growth is based on the final demand idea th trend in the growth of service? At as areas gain wealth, the people wish to purchase more services. The United States, as an example, show that final demand is not the sole-based positions but a combination of less demand for material requirements from consumers. The change in demand raises health, education, and entertainment opportunities.

Unemployment Rates Is unemployment causing decrease in manufacturing firms?’ demand for employees, and economic projections suggest that this lull will carry over through 2026 (Martocchio, 2020). The decrease in employment for manufacturing https://keenessays.com/the-assignment-must-be-submitted-on-blackboard-word-format-only-via-the-alloca-15/ services peaked after the pandemic and has affected various industries in the United States even as the working population grows. This is pyridoxal to what is happening in Japan, where the loss of manufacturing jobs is aligned with a decreasing labor market (Rose, 2021, p. 24)The term “service sector” refers to six major industry groups: government, wholesale commerce, retail trade, finance, insurance, real estate, transportation, communication, and public utilities.

Unemployment Rates It is anticipated what is significant increase in employment in the construction sector and service industries? including professional and business services, health care, and social assistance, will more than offset a consistent decline in employment in manufacturing industries (Martocchio, 2020). By 2026, the economy is projected to add 10.5 million new jobs in the service sector. Moreover, contingent workers generally work in service industries, which require more labor than capital (Martocchio, 2020). Use APA referencing format.
