Stevens Star Model and New Tech to Improve Patient Outcomes
The Stevens Star Model of Knowledge Transformation is a framework that guides the transformation of knowledge from research into practice. This model consists of five points: discovery, summary, translation, integration, and evaluation. Each point represents a step in the process of moving from scientific evidence to practical application in patient care (Song et al., 2021). This paper shows how in the context of healthcare informatics, the Stevens Star Model is particularly helpful as it aligns with the use of technology to improve patient outcomes.
The Stevens Star Model Points
Discovery
At the discovery point, big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing the way healthcare professionals gather and interpret data in the process of patient care (Mehta et al., 2019). These technologies can sift through vast datasets and identify patterns that would likely go unobserved by human eyes. For example, AI algorithms can analyze data from numerous studies to detect new potential risk factors for diseases or to identify which treatments are most effective for specific patient populations (Mehta et al., 2019). This level of analysis can result in new discoveries that further inform evidence-based practice, clinical decision-making, policy development, and patient outcomes.
Summary
The summary point benefits from technologies such as machine learning algorithms, which can distill extensive research findings into more easily understood messages (Grimmer et al., 2022). Medical knowledge growth has exploded, and it is impractical for healthcare providers to manually stay up-to-date on all new information. That is where machine learning can help: it can automate the synthesis of research, extract the most pertinent information and present it in a way that is accessible and actionable for practitioners.
Translation
Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) help with translating summarized evidence into practical applications that health care practitioners can use (Musen et al., 2021). These systems integrate evidence-based knowledge with patient-specific information to provide patient-specific recommendations. For example, a CDSS might analyze a patient's electronic health record, compare it with the latest clinical...…integrating evidence-based guidelines into clinical practice. Likewise, leadership support is helpful in adopting these technologies, as nurse managers and healthcare leaders must make sure that the infrastructure, training, culture, and know-how are in place or available to facilitate the use of technology in evidence-based practice. This would include steps like investing in the necessary tools, providing education on how to use these technologies effectively, aligning protocols with best practices, and promoting an environment that values continuous learning and improvement.
In conclusion, the Stevens Star Model of Knowledge Transformation is a structured approach to incorporating evidence into practice, and emerging technologies are important in supporting each stage of this model. In the health care field, evidence-based practices are likely to use technology to improve patient outcomes more and more in the future because of the benefits they bring. Nurse managers and healthcare leaders will be instrumental in helping with this application, as they will have to craft the environment and culture that needed in the fusion of…

Machine Learning It should be noted that there is a marked paucity of research material and scholarly articles existent, from the past three years, regarding the usage of intelligence tests that are deemed mainstream (i.e., not the Turing Test and more frequently utilized assessments such as any variety of the Wechsler tests or the Stanford-Binet assessment) to assess machine intelligence or that of expert systems. Machine intelligence such as IBM's

Netflix and Machine Learning Machine Learning (ML) represents a data analysis technique involving automation of analytical model development. This segment of AI (artificial intelligence) is grounded in the notion that a system is able to learn using information provided, discern patterns, and engage in decision-making without much human involvement required. Owing to technological advancements in computing, contemporary ML differs from ML of earlier times. The concept traces its roots to pattern
Abstract This paper discusses the issue of privacy in social networks with respect to advances in machine learning. It shows how machine learning protocols have been developed both to enhance and secure privacy as well as to invade privacy and collect, analyze, predict data based on users’ information and experience online. The conflict between these two directions in machine learning is likely to lead to a system wherein machine learning algorithms
deficits of students with mathematics disabilities? Mathematical skills are definitely just as crucial as literacy and reading skills when it comes to succeeding at school and beyond. Of late, researchers and policymakers have focused considerably on reading; the latter's attention was manifest in the 2001 No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. While reading deficiencies are commonly believed to be one among the main characteristics of learning-disabled pupils, mathematical disabilities pose
