What are other statistical techniques that might be useful for your example?
As a current or future health care administration leader, you may be required to apply the use of statistical tools to measure performance improvement in your health services organization. As you have examined throughout this course, there are a variety of statistical tools at your disposal that will allow you to enhance your decision-making skills to enhance effective health care delivery in your health services organization. The statistical tools explored this week, such as chi-square, ANOVA, and regression, are all useful in helping you identify the association between certain causes of inefficiency as well as identify those performance improvement initiatives that have been most effective in reducing such inefficiencies.For this Discussion, review the resources for this week regarding these techniques and think about how your health services organization, or one with which you are familiar, might use these techniques in practice.NOTE: For this Discussion, you will be required to run the SPSS software platform.By Day 3Post, a brief description of one of the methods presented in the resources for this week and explain how it might be used as part of a performance improvement initiative within your health services organization or an organization with which you are familiar. Be specific and provide examples. Using fictitious data, demonstrate the use of this statistical method and interpret all results.

Develop a stakeholder matrix for a mega project
In conventional business and government megaprojectssuch as hydroelectric dams, chemical-processing plants, or big-bang enterprise-resource-planning systemsthe standard approach is to build something monolithic and customized. Such projects must be 100% complete before they can deliver benefits: Even when its 95% complete, a nuclear reactor is of no use. On the basis of 30 years of research and consulting on megaprojects, the author has found two factors that play a critical role in determining success or failure: replicable modularity in design and speed in iteration. The article examines those factors by looking at well-known megaprojects, both successful ones, and cautionary tales.Case Study LinkUsing your knowledge of stakeholders, stakeholder management, and the Megaproject case studies linked above, answer the following: a. Develop a stakeholder matrix for a mega projectb. Describe stakeholder issues that could arise when managing a megaproject. c. Identify 2-3 stakeholders and their role within a megaproject.

Explain the theory that guided the study. How does the theory relate to the study?
Select a quantitative research study. Be sure that the study includes a theoretical or conceptual framework. Please attach a copy of the article. Describe and summarize the purpose, type of study design, findings, and implications for nursing practice (application of the scientific evidence).Explain the theory that guided the study. How does the theory relate to the study?Explain how the theory could guide the research by analyzing the theory using Alligoods five criteria for analysis of theory (Chapter 5, Box 5.2): clarity, simplicity, generality, accessibility, and importance.Discuss how different types of evidence may evolve from the research methodology used, and how it can be used to influence practice.In addition, isolate and describe one empirical concept within the selected study to investigate the methodologies used to examine this concept. Check the research questions, hypotheses, or purpose statement to find the major study concepts. For example, in a study examining pain and therapeutic touch, the major concepts would be pain and therapeutic touch. In addition to conceptual definitions, these concepts should have operational definitions (may be in methodology). Pain might use a visual analog scale (VAS) in order to provide quantitative measurement to a subjective concept.How is the evidence that emerges from the study explained through the theory? If this is not discussed in the study, describe how you think the theory does or does not support the research study.

The Research ProcessImagine you are in a fast-food restaurant where a lady tells you that she had heard there was a gene for liking or hating the taste of cilantro. You looked on the Internet to investigate this statement, and although you found similar comments on reputable websites, you are yet to find any scientific studies supporting this claim.Should you be skeptical about the scientific merit of this claim after browsing the Internet? Why?Do you think there are times when scientifically-sound research is not accepted for publication? Why?What should you do to continue this investigation?Using the South University Online Library, find two peer-reviewed articles discussing genetics and food preference. Using the skills you learned from this weeks lectures, summarize each of them.What is a primary source for any research study? Why is it important to read the primary source?Why do most students settle for reading secondhand or thirdhand accounts of research studies instead of reading the primary source?When might you have to depend on a secondary source of information? Are thirdhand accounts of research studies reliable? Why?
