HIT Support of Evidence-Based Practice

/in /by

Nurses working in the recovery room at City Hospital received many complaints from patients who were required to void prior to being released. The nurses also questioned this requirement and decided to explore current best practices based on research evidence. Using the hospital’s health information technology, they located current research indicating that City Hospital’s policy was out of date and that research evidence no longer supported this practice. As a result of accessing and utilizing health information technology to locate evidence-based research, new practice guidelines were crafted and adopted.

This week you evaluate evidence available through health information technology and consider how health information technology supports evidence-based practice.

Students will:
Evaluate evidence available through health information technology that lead to improved patient care

•> List these reasons.

• >Now identify reasons you should disagree with these statements.

For example:

Reason: Some street drugs are harmless if only used occasionally.
Disagreement: It only takes once to be addicted to a street drug. Once you try it, you might feel like it ended up okay so you will try it again. You may also feel like trying a heavier drug if you were okay with the first drug. Also, you could get caught and end up with a record or do something to harm yourself or others.

Understanding Deductive Categorical Reasoning

/in /by

Deductive categorical reasoning is demanding. Its forms are rigid, but they are rigid with a reason; deductive categorical arguments are intended to prove the conclusion. If the premises are true and the conclusion logically follows, you have no choice but to accept the argument. The categorical syllogism is like a piece of machinery, the parts working together to produce a result – in the case of the categorical syllogism, the truth of the conclusion.

For the initial post, address all of the following:

Explain how the machinery of the categorical syllogisms works.
Why two premises and one conclusion?
Why only three terms?
Why only four standard forms?
When and where, in your private life or your work life, would you want to use this type of reasoning?
Look at “One Step Further” at the end of Chapter 6 or choose from Exercise 6.22, examples 1, 5 or 7. Translate one of the arguments there into a categorical syllogism.
