The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

Collaboration leverages the collective knowledge of a health care team. Peer evaluation and support, provided in the spirit of continuous improvement and organizational success, result in higher quality deliverables than are generally possible by the efforts of an individual. Describe the process that you plan to use to conduct research, identify findings, and develop the Comprehensive Project due in Unit 5, and present a brief outline indicating how you intend to organize the project deliverable. Review the process and outlines of other students, providing objective feedback that will help strengthen the effectiveness of their efforts and the quality of the finished product.

UNIT5 PROJECT INFO

Synthesize and evaluate the research articles summarized in the assignments in Units 2 and 3. Make sure to identify the strengths and weaknesses of related research studies, with emphasis on the validity and reliability of conclusions and applications of the research. Tie this to your topic of interest and base recommendations for improvement, future research needs, and applications on the stakeholder groups involved (patients, providers, third-party payers, legislators, etc.).

Additionally, create 4 PowerPoint slides that summarize your conclusions and future direction based on the synthesis and evaluation of the research literature related to your topic of interest and area of application or function related to healthcare.
