Health Information Technology As A Source Of Evidence-Based Practice Health Information Technology As A Source Of Evidence-Based Practice Using Health Information Technology as a Source of Evidence-Based Practice Before the digital revolution, health information technology supplied very limited support for evidence-based practice. If nurses wanted to be informed about cutting-edge research, their best bet was to either subscribe to leading journals or make periodic trips to the library. With the establishment of research databases, however, nurses became empowered to learn about and facilitate interdisciplinary and translational research. Databases are just one example of how health information technology supports evidence-based practice. To prepare: ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS Read the following scenario from the text (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2012, p. 482): Twelve-hour shifts are problematic for patient and nurse safety, and yet hospitals continue to keep the 12-hour shift schedule. In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (Board on Health Care Services & Institute of Medicine, 2004) published a report that referred to studies as early as 1988 that discussed the negative effects of rotating shifts on intervention accuracy. Workers with 12-hour shifts realized more fatigue than workers on 8-hour shifts. In another study done in Turkey by Ilhan, Durukan, Aras, Turkcuoglu, and Aygun (2006), factors relating to increased risk for injury were age of 24 or less, less than 4 years of nursing experience, working in the surgical intensive care units, and working for more than 8 hours. Consider how the resources identified in the scenario above could influence an organization’s practice. Select an issue in your practice that is of concern to you (my area of practice area of concern is the nursing shortage, we often have to work short in my hospital which creates many issues). Using health information technology, locate at least three evidence-based practice resources that address your concern and that could possibly inform further action. post a description of your practice concern. Outline how you used health information technology to locate evidence-based practices that address this concern. Cite and include insights from the resources. Analyze how health information technology supports evidence-based practice. Required Resources Readings McGonigle, D., & Mastrian, K. G. (2012).

Automation Affects Human Society Taxing Robots Discussion ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS ON Automation Affects Human Society Taxing Robots Discussion Automation affects human society especially concerning the loss of employment. Automation will require societies and governments to make ethical decisions. Some politicians believe that as automation grows, displaced workers need compensation. They argue for a robot tax on companies-that for every robot they “employ,” a tax should be levied on the employer to help compensate the people who lost their jobs. Automation Affects Human Society Taxing Robots Discussion Should robot use by companies be taxed? If so, how should that tax be calculated – by robot, by robot work hour, by robot output value? Please make sure to pay attention to the following, when you are posting your opinion: 1. Provide solid evidence, arguments and facts supporting your position. Avoid any shallow political debates. 2. Please make sure to practice abstract reasoning and system thinking skills, when you develop your response. You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes. Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages. Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor. The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument. ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS Discussion Questions (DQ) Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses. Weekly Participation Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week. APA Format and Writing Quality Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition. Use of Direct Quotes I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source. LopesWrite Policy For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score. Late Policy The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading. Communication Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours. Get a 10 % discount on an order above $ 100 Use the following coupon code : NURSING10

Explain the impact that Colombia Drug Cartels have had on the region Explain the impact that Colombia Drug Cartels have had on the region Describe the partnership between Colombia and the Mexican Drug Cartels. —– 450 words – 3 sources ———————————- Reply to the following posts about the same topic: 250 words each, 1 source each 1. ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS The Colombia drug cartels set the bar for all of the cartels to follow. This Week, Steve Murphy got to tell his story of being a DEA Special Agent in Colombia during the days of Pablo Escobar. DEA Special Agent Murphy arrived to a Colombia where Escobar had just surrendered and Murphy expected there to be a party, but quickly realized that Pablo’s “surrender” was due to a brokered deal with the Colombian government that put him in a “prison” he had built himself. Pablo would be making the rules here just as he always had up until his surrender. Nothing changed. . Pablo had already declared war on Colombia once, and the government wanted to see the end to the murders. So, the government agreed to the deal to get Pablo behind bars… until Pablo murdered inside the prison. Colombia wanted to move Pablo to a real prison after these murders. Instead, he “escaped” and declared war on Colombia, once again. DEA Special Agent Murphy differentiates Pablo from cartel leaders in Mexico because Pablo was always against extradition. Pablo was famous for his bribes or bullets mentality as well as his preference for a grave in Colombia over a jail cell in the US. Pablo eventually gets his wish with a bullet on a roof. Riley begins chapter 9 with describing the years that Chapo is on the run (Riley, Audiobook). His story is so similar to the story of Pablo Escobar when he was on the run. In both cases, the drug cartel leaders were always a step, if not a few steps, ahead (Riley, Module 5 lecture). Riley encourages the different law enforcement organizations to work together and share information in their work fight against the cartels. DEA Special Agent Murphy stressed the importance of information sharing, especially in regards to his relationship to the CIA in Colombia. While the original relationship between Colombian Drug Cartels and Mexico was that of leader and mule, eventually that relationship changes and it turns into a Super Cartel. Containers full of cash were coming into ports, it even took 30 days for ICE and Colombian National Police to count one container full. The Super Cartel was run like a fortune 500 company, except no one knew who was in charge. ICE agents and Colombian police worked to take them down. We know now that the Super Cartel was run by three drug kingpins through a powerful alliance between Colombia and Mexico. The cartel was worth billions. Those kingpins leading the cartel were difficult to survey, off the radar, and ghostlike. They even had submarines. (Taking down Colombia’s supercartel”) “Taking down Colombia\’s super cartel.” Module Four Lecture, HMLS-7100-10 – Narcoterrorism CRN: 51439 Riley, Jack, “The Drug Warrior”, Hatchette Books, New York, 2019 Tulane University, Module Five Lecture, HMLS-7100-10 – Narcoterrorism CRN: 51439 ———————— 250 word response, 1 source 2. Reply to the following posts about the same topic: 250 words each, 1 source each Correspondingly, as we look at the continuing efforts to counter the drug cartels, there is a prominence to mimic the counter trafficking in Mexico centered on some of the successes in Colombia, and while there are advantages, the direct comparisons might prove deceiving. Colombia is a diverse country, the cartels did not develop identically, and some of the political associations are vastly different. The illustration below details some of the dissimilarities. “Take, for example, the central premise of the Mexican strategy that if the DTOs are broken up into smaller entities, security in Mexico will improve. The effect of Colombia’s anti-crime policies in the early 1990s was indeed the emergence of many small groups instead of the two large Medellín and Cali cartels that until then had dominated Colombia’s and the Western Hemisphere’s drug trafficking. None of the smaller groups has managed to accumulate the same level of coercive power and corruption capacity that the Medellín and Cali cartels had. But Colombia’s context was different from Mexico’s, and the break-them-up policy came with different, but in each case highly negative side effects.” (Vanda Felbab-Brown, Friday, February 24, 2012, “Lessons from Colombia for Mexico? Caveat Emptor”, Brookings, https://www.brookings.edu/articles/lessons-from-colombia-for-mexico-caveat-emptor/ (Links to an external site.) ) As many experts and some journalists have pointed out, we may adopt beneficial models, but understand the differentiation in the countries as well as the geopolitical distinctions and the geography and history. An example is the use of military assistance. “Most consequentially, the Colombia-equals-Mexico mindset helped guide the initial installment of the Merida Initiative, which President Bush [agreed to] with President Calderon in 2007. As in Plan Colombia, the Merida Initiative relied heavily on the transfer of military hardware, such as Blackhawk helicopters. Such material is helpful in assaulting far-flung jungle hideouts but of limited value in rooting out corruption in a municipal police force, which is a far more pressing issue for Mexican policymakers.” (Patrick Corcoran, InSight Crime, June 10, 2014, “When it comes to drug trafficking, don\’t compare Mexico to Colombia: Report”, Christian Science Monitor, https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Americas/Latin-America-Monitor/2014/0610/When-it-comes-to-drug-trafficking-don-t-compare-Mexico-to-Colombia-Report (Links to an external site.) ) Current indication, publications, and many news stories are declaring small triumphs, and selected large accomplishments in Colombia, but as our Guest Lecturer, Steve Murphy communicated to all of us, he is not quite ready to declare victory in Colombia, despite the love, exertion, and dedication he has expended there.

I will upload two files, one for the manual what the lab is about and the other one is what you need to write about a paragraph of background/significant and a paragraph of objectives and work scope, do not forget to reference the ASTM D 4318. also, make sure there is no plagiarism :). Soil mechanics Lab Assignment attachment_1 attachment_2 Paragraph 1: Background statement/significance (around 2-3 sentences) Paragraph 2: Objectives and scope of work (make sure to reference ASTM D 4318) You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes. Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages. Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor. The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument. ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS Discussion Questions (DQ) Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses. Weekly Participation Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week. APA Format and Writing Quality Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition. Use of Direct Quotes I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source. LopesWrite Policy For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score. Late Policy The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading. Communication Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours. Get a 10 % discount on an order above $ 100 Use the following coupon code : NURSING10
