Hlsc 122 Assessment Task 1 - Essay

1. Paragraph One - Introduction (include a lead/hook, set the context for the essay, give the three main ideas, thesis statement is last sentence)

Evidence-based practice is an approach used by health care professionals to continually use current best evidence-based research to make ethical and reliable decisions regarding patient care. “Research to promote evidence-based practice is becoming more and more a part of the regular work of health care leaders” (Grand Canyon University, 2015, p. 1). However, it is important to determine the difference between solid research and flawed research that provides unreliable inferences. Evidence-based research includes focusing on a clinical question; and includes the review and incorporation of several studies to strengthen the results of the new study (Grand Canyon University, 2015). Roddy et al. and Ganz et al. articles will be assessed to determine if the recommended changes were backed by solid research that warrants changes in a hospital.

The first body paragraph should be the weakest or simplest way to get the overall point of the essay across to the readers. This will be the foundation of all three points,

A. the literature review provided articles that were relevant and a number of relevant studies and theories were described throughout the study.

Before this study, there were other publications that had systematically reviewed research on this question in 1996 (Ernst, &

The authors have listed three literature reviews in the article. Two of them were from the nineties and one was from the year 1979. Even though the studies were relevant to the problem and explain a review of the problem and the need for study, they are not up to date. The summary of the literature review is not good enough to get a deeper knowledge about the literature. The authors should have done more elaborated explanation of the evidences of the problem in the literature.

It does not appear within the context of the study that the literature review has bias or undue influence on the findings but rather to support their validity as the method of the study and findings of this study are presented from a different perspective. However to maintain a balanced perspective we should consider the reasons that to date only one previous study has been a

The discussion briefly describes the results, but it failed to restate the purpose of the study. It discusses the results with many new citations that had not been provided in the introduction. It discussed future research implications but not in great detail. One of the greater strengths of the discussion was that it discussed multiple implications for professionals to consider. Additionally, the limitations and strengths of the study were discussed in detail.

This step is extremely important because this helps the writer to organize his thoughts and to put them in a logical order. The guideline can be a simple or as long as necessary. Typically, an outline consists of an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. The body usually consists of a minimum of three points with supporting evidence listed under each point. The more the outline is broken down, the easier the writing process becomes. Then, create a topic sentence which precisely describes what is being discussed in the body of the essay. It is important that the topic sentence is precise and sets the tone of the

While I came to this article holding ideas similar to those expressed by Carr, the cited scientific evidence, together with his personal experience, effectively reinforced and increased my concern. Carr establishes his

First, by using evidence based analysis within daily practices within clinics it is used with the intentions of incorporating studies due to activity based decisions that would increase that credibility of the study through peer review analysis. “Mary Brennan (2013) reports with

Evidence-based medicine is designed to increase the quality medical care and increase the value of medical by cutting costs through the reduction of misuse and/or overuse (Shi and Singh, 2013) EBM guidelines are represented by “best practices and proven therapies” (Shi and Singh, 2013). The work to improve these guidelines and protocols is ongoing as it seeks to improve the delivery of healthcare, into the future. Shi and Singh (2013) lists 6 recommendations for improving practice guidelines for the future (p. 352). The purpose of this jouornal entry is to offer an analysis of two of the guidelines.

Evidence based practices are important to explore for various diseases so that their efficacy level can be determined and medical staff can be trained accordingly. Particularly speaking in the context of chronic diseases, evidence based practices are to be evaluated with the joint efforts of multiple healthcare institutions so that it can bring benefits to the overall healthcare industry.

The article reviews previous relevant studies and debates areas that needed further research. Some preceding studies have

This literature search was supplemented by reviewing relevant citations in the initial studies identified, and previous review articles examining similar
