    RATING SYSTEM FOR THE LEVEL/HIERARCHY OF EVIDENCE

    LEVEL I: Evidence from an integrated literature review, systematic review or meta-analysis of all relevant randomized controlled trails (RCTs), or evidence-based clinical practice guidelines based on systematic reviews of RCTs.

    · Review of research evidence related to a specific clinical question.

    · Critically analyzes and synthesizes findings from multiple random control trials.

    · Aim is to interpret and translate findings.

    LEVEL II: Evidence obtained from at least one well-designated RCT. (experimental)

    · Study subjects are randomly assigned to either a treatment or control group.

    · May be:

    · Blind: neither subject nor investigator knows which treatment the subject is receiving.

    · Double-blind: neither subject nor investigator knows which treatment the subject is receiving.

    · Non-blind: both subject and investigator know which treatment subject is receiving; used when it is felt that the knowledge of treatment is unimportant.

    LEVEL III: Evidence obtained from well-designed controlled trials without randomization. (quasi-experimental)

    · Always includes manipulation of an independent variable

    · Lacks either random assignment or control group

    · Findings must be considered in light of threats to validity (particularly selection)

    LEVEL IV: Evidence from well-designed case-control and cohort studies.

    · No manipulation of the independent variable.

    LEVEL V: Evidence from systematic reviews of descriptive and qualitative studies, correlational studies.

    LEVEL VI: Evidence from a single descriptive or qualitative study.

    · Explorative in nature, such as interviews, observations, or focus groups.

    · Starting point for studies of questions for which little research currently exists.

    · Sample sizes are usually small and study results are used to design stronger studies that are more objective and quantifiable.

    · Describing differences in variables between or among groups.

    · Describing relationships among variables. No attempt to understand causal relationship.

    LEVEL VII: Evidence from the opinion of authorities and/or reports of expert committees.

    QUALITY DEFINITIONS

    (Quality is based on Critical Appraisal)

    GOOD: A study meets all research design-specific criteria well

    FAIR: A study does not meet (or it is not clear that it meets) at least one design-specific criterion but has no known “fatal flaws”

    POOR: A study that has at least one design specific “fatal flaw: or an accumulation of lesser flaws.

    Pathos Radiology Center (PRC) performs X-rays, ultrasounds, computer tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). PRC has developed a reputation as a top radiology center in the state. It has achieved this status because it constantly re-examines its processes and procedures. It has been using a single, facility wide overhead allocation rate. The Vice President of Finance believes that PRC can make better process improvements if it uses more disaggregated cost information. She says, “We have state-of-the-art medical imaging technology. Can’t we have state-of-the-art accounting technology?”

    – Calculate the budgeted cost per service for X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRI using direct technician labor costs as the allocation basis.
    – Calculate the budgeted cost per service of X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRI if PRC allocated overhead costs using activity-based costing.
    – Evaluate the differences between the 2 costing models, and assess the value of activity-based costing for management profitability analysis and decision making.
    – Explain how the disaggregation of information could be helpful to PRC’s intention to continuously improve its services.

    Assignment Prompt & Instructions

    Sky Armour Industries manufactures high-grade aluminum luggage made from recycled metal. The company operates two divisions: metal recycling and luggage fabrication. Each division operates as a decentralized entity. The metal recycling division is free to sell sheet aluminum to outside buyers, and the luggage fabrication division is free to purchase recycled sheet aluminum from other sources. Currently, however, the recycling division sells all of its output to the fabrication division, and the fabrication division does not purchase materials from any outside suppliers.
    Aluminum is transferred from the recycling division to the fabrication division at 110% of full cost. The recycling division purchases recyclable aluminum for $0.50 per pound. The division’s other variable costs equal $2.80 per pound, and fixed costs at a monthly production level of 50,000 pounds are $1.50 per pound. During the most recent month, 50,000 pounds of aluminum were transferred between the two divisions. The recycling division’s capacity is 70,000 pounds.
    Due to increased demand, the fabrication division expects to use 60,000 pounds of aluminum next month. Metalife Corporation has offered to sell 10,000 pounds of recycled aluminum next month to the fabrication division for $5.00 per pound.
    – Calculate the transfer price during the most recent month per pound of recycled aluminum.
    – Assuming that each division is considered a profit center, would the fabrication manager choose to purchase 10,000 pounds next month from Metalife?
    – Is the purchase in the best interest of Sky Armour Industries? Show your calculations.
    – What is the cause of this goal incongruence?
    The fabrication division manager suggests that $5.00 is now the market price for recycled sheet aluminum and that this should be the new transfer price. Sky Armour Industries’ corporate management tends to agree. The metal recycling manager is suspicious. Metalife’s prices have always been considerably higher than $5.00 per pound.
    Why the sudden price cut? After further investigation by the recycling division manager, it is revealed that the $5.00 per pound price was a one-time-only offer made to the fabrication division due to excess inventory at Metalife. Future orders would be priced at $5.50 per pound.
    – Elaborate on the validity of the $5.00 per pound market price and the ethics of the fabrication manager.
    – Would changing the transfer price to $5.00 matter to Sky Armour Industries?

    Write a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the need for a nurse informaticist in an organization who would focus on improving health care outcomes.

    Nurses at the baccalaureate level in all practice areas are involved in nursing informatics through interaction with information management and patient care technologies. Nurses must not only demonstrate knowledge of and skills in health information and patient care technologies, but also how to use these tools at the bedside and organizational levels. Moreover, nurses need to recognize how information gathered from various health information sources can impact decision making at the national and state regulatory levels.

    As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Team Perspectives of the Nurse Informaticist activity. Completion of this will help you succeed with the assessment as you explore the nurse informaticist's role from the different perspectives of the health care team. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.

    To successfully prepare for this assessment, you will need to complete these preparatory activities:

    Review assessment resources and activities.

    Review the focus of the new nurse informaticist position you will propose by examining the Assessment 01 – Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF] Download Assessment 01 – Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF]resource.

    Conduct independent research on the nursing knowledge and skills necessary to interact with health information and patient care technology.

    Focus your research on current resources available through peer-reviewed articles, professional websites, government websites, professional blogs, wikis, job boards, and so on.

    Consult the BSN Program Library Research Guide for help in identifying scholarly and authoritative sources.

    Interview peers in your network who are considered information technology experts.

    Ask them about how information technology advances are impacting patient care at the bedside, at the organizational level, and beyond.

    For this assessment, assume you are a nurse attending a meeting of your state’s nurses association. A nurse informaticist conducted a presentation on their role and its impact on positive patient and organizational outcomes in their workplace. You realize that your organization is undergoing many technological changes. You believe this type of role could provide many benefits to your organization.

    Review the focus of the new nurse informaticist position you will propose by examining the Assessment 01 – Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF] Download Assessment 01 – Nursing Informatics in Health Care [PDF]resource.

    You decide to pursue proposing a nurse informaticist role in your organization. You speak to your chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager, who ask you to prepare a 4–5 page evidence-based proposal to support the new role. In this way, they can make an informed decision as to whether the addition of such a role could justify the return on investment (ROI). They need your proposal before an upcoming fiscal meeting.​ This is not an essay, but instead, it is a proposal to create a new Nurse Informaticist position.

    One important part of this assessment is the justification of the need for a nurse informaticist in a health care organization and references from relevant and timely scholarly or professional resources to support the justification for creating this nurse informaticist position. The term justify means to show or prove that the nurse informaticist position brings value to the organization. This justification must include evidence from the literature to support that this position will provide a return on investment for the organization.

    The chief nursing officer (CNO) and human resources (HR) manager have asked you to include the headings below in your proposal and to be sure to address the bullets following each heading.
