Assignment #3: Research Plan Research Question The research question that is to be answered by Bus Pass/Gas Card Program evaluations is whether or not the bus passes was used properly and effectively. Did the bus passes/gas cards eliminate patients canceling their appointments and or having less no shows? The evaluation will show whether or not the program met the needs to the patients and Mercy Health Physician Partners. The purpose of the evaluation is to see whether or not the program was successful, and or if the program needed to fix any holes that it might have. The following are specific research questions that will be used to show the effectiveness of the program: a. Do 80% of the patients make their appointments on time after being enrolled into the program? b. Did the program help improve the patients health status, and or mental health status? c. Did the participant’s in the program have 40% higher self-esteem after the program than they had before the program? d. Did the participants of the program improve other aspects of their life because they were able to get around due to have a bus pass/gas card? e. Did the participants stay out of the Emergency Department for non-life threatening injuries? f. Were the participants able to receive their prescriptions on time? Methodology Research Design: Quasi-experiments have been used as far back as the 18th century and continue to be frequently utilized by researchers today for three primary reasons: (1) to meet the practical requirements of funding, school administrators, and ethics, (2) to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention when the intervention has been implemented by educators prior to the evaluation procedure having been considered and (3) when research... ... middle of paper ... ...y this premise, the following two conditions should be met: (a) In a regression, the independent variable, X, should contribute significantly to the explanatory power of the model predicting Y. (b) Y should not help predict X. If the latter occurs, then it is likely that one or more other variables are indeed causing the observed changes in both X and Y (Nuworosso, 2004). If the participants that are living in poverty are given bus passes/ gas cards this will help them be healthier, stress free, less emergency visits, and improve their lifestyle in other areas. This test will help and see if the program is the reason that the participants have either more positive or negatives outcomes because of this. The program will also conduct a t test which will help compare outcomes from the participants from the bus pass and the participants from the gas cards.
I want all that you come with—your baggage and past mistakes, the wa able (or 'criterion variable ') changes when any one of the independent variables is
There has been a shortage of physicians, lack of inpatient beds, problems with ambulatory services, as well as not having proper methods of dealing with patient overflow, all in the past 10 years (Cummings & francescutti, 2006, p.101). The area of concern that have been worse...
Identify the three dependent clauses. What is the effect of these three clauses, one following the other?
Organizational philosophy commits in establishing a high quality program that will be of distinct benefit to the community, as well as the medical staff. Mission consists of high patient satisfaction, compassion, reduction in medical errors, proper medical decisions, and patient education. For this reason, leadership is seeking the interest and commitment for expansion of a JRU to establish a program that is compatible with goals for quality, cost-effectiveness, and growth within the most efficient period.
Unlike a random experiment, a natural experiment is mostly observing what has occurred. What's more, a natural experiment gives researchers limited control over a study. Like a random experiment, variables are separated and compared to determine the effect of an independent variable on a dependent variable. At any rate, Dr. Dee selected to go with a natural experiment on the grounds that a random experiment was not a viable option. In particular, Dr. Dee's natural experiment focused on the results of a 1988 National Education Longitudinal Survey of 8th grade teachers. Specifically Dr. Dee examined the effect that a teacher's gender had on student test scores. Dr. Dee takes this a step further by considering the size of a classroom, the race of a teacher, years of experience a teacher has, and whether a teacher was certified in their subject of teaching. It is important to remember that Dr.Dee uses the results of one year and does not take into consideration following years. Beyond this, Dr. Dee also examines student perception about the four core subjects. In short, Thomas Dee examined and manipulated what had occurred to come to his
effectiveness via statistical data and outpatient practice metrics to assure efficiency and accuracy in general scheduling operations and processes.
A primary care medical group is trying to determine whether patients are being greeted and serviced appropriately by the billing and admitting departments.
There will also be fliers put up in every department. We also have a form you have to fill out then we verify it either you get it or you don’t, in return the patient has to get a measurement month at the end of it we ask you to do a survey. If the patient doesn’t meet our qualification you will not be allowed on the program next year.UK is working with us to really quantify this data to validate it for us to use it for grants. Everybody sent them to the lobby that’s the change Brandy is not going to be able to handle volume. If anybody has any free time that’s not scrubbing and wants to come and help over here on some Saturdays we will train you and we would love to have you. We have a 155 thousand dollars this year that helps a lot of people which is an increase about 40 thousand from last
There was two parts to this study - Part 1 (study 1, 2) was defined as descriptive, and explorative design methods, Part 2 (study 3, 4, 5, 6) is quasi-experimental, it had six sub-studies with various aims, designs and methods. The studies #3, #5, #6 involved quasi-experimental design, meaning subjects are not randomly assigned as they would be in an experimental study.
A. When a subject such as this one takes a wide-ranging quantity of variables, it is difficult to
Bachman, R and Schutt, R. (2012) state, “ a hypothesis is an idea or a claim linking or establishing a relationship between two variables.” Specifically, a hypothesis may not be definite or true until proven to be factual by research, experiments and evidence. An independent variable leads a researcher to find meaningful, truthful and extensive observational data that concludes that the independent variable affected or caused a change to the dependent variable.

d. high scores on the x variable are associated with low scores on the y variable.
According to David M. Newman, “a hypothesis is a researchable prediction that specifies the relationship between two or more variables. A variable is any characteristic, attitude, behavior, or event that can take on two or more values or attributes” (38). When building a hypothesis, there is an independent variable that causes a change or changes to a dependent variable (Newman 38). An example of building a hypothesis would be fist to pick an independent variable. An independent variable I would pick would be higher education. For the dependent variable I would pick careers. So, people who receive higher education increase their chances at gaining a better career.
