Collaboration on Cost-effectiveness Analysis
This evidence-based project has addressed the use of bilingual interpreters in enhancing patient-provider communication during provider visits in comparison to using family members as interpreters. It is common knowledge that Limited English Proficient (LEP) patients face communication challenges when seeking for primary and preventative health care services. Family members are sometimes used as interpreters to help improve communication between patients and health care providers. However, this evidence-based project has established that the use of bilingual interpreters would help to improve patient-provider communication as compared to using family members.
For the purposes of this evidence-based project, a basic budget and cost minimization analysis as described by Kleinpell (2013) will be completed as shown in Appendix A. The basic budget and cost minimization, which is part of the cost-effectiveness analysis, is based on the assumption that the use of bilingual interpreters would help improve patient-provider communication. As a result, the measurable outcome in this project is improvement in patient-provider communication, which in turn enhances patient outcomes in the clinical setting. The evidence-based project would be significant in encouraging healthcare providers, especially in emergency rooms, to utilize bilingual interpreters when dealing with Limited English Proficient (LEP) patients...
The cost-benefit analysis is written as if the healthcare provider was underwriting the direct costs of the use of bilingual interpreters in the healthcare setting. While an evidence-based project of this nature is likely to be supported by grant funding or through in-kind contributions, the implementation of this intervention is a responsibility of the healthcare provider. Therefore, undertaking the cost-benefit analysis as if the healthcare provider was underwriting the direct costs is critical toward determining the effectiveness or efficiency of the proposed intervention. Additionally, the cost-benefit analysis is written in a manner that demonstrates the efficiency and effectiveness of the intervention. Efficiency provides insights on how the intervention (i.e. use of bilingual interpreters in patient-provider communication) functions under experimental situations. On the other hand, effectiveness demonstrates how the intervention would work in the real world (Muennig & Bounthavong, 2016). Therefore, the cost-effectiveness analysis provides insights on how the proposed intervention is likely to work in daily clinical practice.
As shown in the cost-benefit analysis in Appendix A, the development and implementation of this evidence-based project would incur some costs. Some of these costs relate to provider survey deployment and analysis, data collection, data analysis, collaboration with healthcare providers and…
. Even when the child in a home where DV occurs is not physically harmed, most of the time, these children know about the violence. As a result, they may experience emotional and behavior problems (The Domestic Violence…, N.d.). A victim of DV needs to be reminded: She is not alone. She is not at fault. Help is available. In The physician's guide to domestic violence, P.R. Salber and E. Taliaferro (N.d.). about stress
Medication Reconciliation Evidence-Based Practice and the Procedural Education of Nurses Medication reconciliation is a critical issue in healthcare reform. Today, improvement in this area of treatment could have a transformative effect on the current practices of nursing and medicine administration. The discussion, literature review and research tests that are conducted hereafter will outline the implications of medication reconciliation; justify the call for improvement in this treatment area; and offer support for the
Evidence-Based Solution to Reducing Incidence The goal of this assignment is to increase my ability to appraise and synthesize evidence to provide experience a logical argument in support of a proposal for practice change, and to provide experience in designing a detailed implementation and evaluation plan for my project. I need to discuss my project plan with you. An evidence-based solution to reducing incidence of hospital acquired infections through indwelling medical
Benefit Analysis Memorandum Cost-Benefit Analysis Cost-benefit analyses are routinely conducted for federal programs and proposed federal programs. The researchers propose a cost-benefit analysis for homeland security expenditures designed to address conventional threats to national security. An evaluation of catastrophic threats is specifically excluded from this analysis as only 14% of the federal homeland security budget is directed at the prevention of catastrophic threats to national security. The recommendation from the authors
Benefit Analysis Introduction and Analysis of the Project: Cost-Benefit Analysis of Proposed New Health Warnings on Tobacco Products (Report, 2003) The new regulation introduced in July 2004 to be implemented for all the years till 2030, have significant cost impact on the economy. Certain benefits are also associated with it, the primary ones include health improvement, increased revenues for non-tobacco industry and the decreased healthcare expense. The major costs are related
Prevention of Pressure Ulcers Evidence-Based Practice for Intervention Project Question: Can quarter hour turning and positioning minimize pressure ulcers within the elderly population who are bed bound residing in hospitals or nursing homes? The elderly often deal with various potential problems throughout their life, from pain and chronic disease, to harsh medication and treatment. Often elderly patients are forced to live in nursing homes and stay in hospitals to avoid accidental death and
