How remote collaboration provided benefits or challenges to designing and delivering the care.
Create a 5-10 minute video of yourself, as a presenter, in which you will propose an evidence-based plan to improve the outcomes for the Vila Health patient and examine how remote collaboration provided benefits or challenges to designing and delivering the care.
Introduction
As technologies and the health care industry continue to evolve, remote care, diagnosis, and collaboration are becoming increasingly more regular methods by which nurses are expected to work. Learning the ways in which evidence-based models and care can help remote work produce better outcomes will become critical for success. Additionally, understanding how to leverage EBP principles in collaboration will be important in the success of institutions delivering quality, safe, and cost-effective care. It could also lead to better job satisfaction for those engaging in remote collaboration.
Professional Context
Remote care and diagnosis is a continuing and increasingly important method for nurses to help deliver care to patients to promote safety and enhance health outcomes. Understanding best EBPs and building competence in delivering nursing care to remote patients is a key competency for all nurses. Additionally, in some scenarios, while you may be delivering care in person you may be collaborating with a physician or other team members who are remote. Understanding the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration is vital to developing effective communication strategies when coordinating care. So, being proficient at communicating and working with remote health care team members is also critical to delivering quality, evidence-base care.
Scenario
The Vila Health: Remote Collaboration on Evidence-Based Care simulation provide the context for this assessment.
Instructions
Before beginning this assessment, make sure you have worked through the following media:
• Vila Health: Remote Collaboration on Evidence-Based Care.
You may wish to review Selecting a model for evidence-based practice changes. [PDF] and Evidence-Based Practice Models, which help explain the various evidence-based nursing models.
For this assessment, you are a presenter! You will create a 5-10-minute video using Kaltura or similar software. In the video:
• Propose your evidence-based care plan that you believe will improve the safety and outcomes of the patient in the Vila Health Remote Collaboration on Evidence-Based Care media scenario. Add your thoughts on what more could be done for the client and what more information may have been needed.
• Discuss the ways in which an EBP model and relevant evidence helped you to develop and make decisions about the plan you proposed
• Wrap up your video by identifying the benefits of the remote collaboration in the scenario, as well as discuss strategies you found in the literature or best practices that could help mitigate or overcome one or more of the collaboration challenges you observed in the scenario.
Differences between a research methodology and a research design.

“Understanding the Design of Your Company”.
Given the current structure of your chosen org., decide whether a redesign (organizational structure change) would help your organization compete more effectively, or reach its mission and values more successfully. Think about reporting relationships and how departments need to work together to achieve results. Your org chart that you retrieved helps you to see the current structure. Now, you must consider what the functions and vision are for the organization and if its structure should change to achieve results. Apply the tenets learned and the grounds and warrants’ principles discussed in the introduction of the course (critical thinking) to defend your position.
Your paper must include the following:
• Describe the current structure of your chosen organization and identify if a redesign (organizational structure change) would be more effective to reach its mission and values more successfully.
• Analyze and compare the current structure with the potential redesigned structure and decide whether or not a redesign or changes would improve results. The analysis should Include information from reporting relationships, how departments function, what department interfaces need to be and what reporting relationships should be.
• Apply the tenets learned and the grounds and warrants’ principles, that support critical thinking to defend your position.
Use at least five scholarly references, excluding the text to support your stance. APA format is a must. Paper should be 4-5 pgs. Make sure you include your organizational chart in an Appendix of your paper. It does not count towards the page count. TOTAL POINTS=40

EVALUATING RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGNS
Just as in quantitative research, when researchers set out to design a qualitative research study, they are guided by its purpose, and their research questions align with their selected approach and the data that will be collected.
As you learned in previous weeks, alignment means that a research study possesses clear and logical connections among all of its various components. In addition to considering alignment, qualitative researchers must also consider the ethical implications of their design choice, including, for example, what their choice means for participant recruitment, procedures, and privacy.
For this Discussion, you will evaluate qualitative research questions in assigned journal articles in your discipline and consider the alignment of theory, problem, purpose, research questions, and design. You will also identify the type of qualitative research design or approach the authors used and explain how it was implemented. Narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, and phenomenology are examples of types of research designs or approaches used in qualitative research.
With these thoughts in mind, refer to the Journal Articles document for your assigned articles for this Discussion. If your last name starts with A through I, use Article A. If your last name starts with J through R, use Article B. If your last name starts with S through Z, use Article C.
I AM ARTICLE B
Post a critique of the research study in which you:
Evaluate the research questions and hypotheses.
The Research Questions and Hypotheses Checklist serves as a guide for your evaluation. Please do not respond to the checklist in a Yes/No format in writing your Discussion post.
Identify the type of qualitative research approach used and explain how the researchers implemented the design.
Analyze alignment among the theoretical or conceptual framework, problem, purpose, research questions, and design.
Research designs and methods
Different research designs and methods are employed based on the
topic, the research problem, and the purpose of the study, and the
research questions. Clarity of choice is necessary to develop a viable
and feasible study. Making selections about how to set up a study and
plan a course of action to collect and analyze data is not random or
haphazard. The choices that students are required to make must be
thoughtful and systematic to maintain alignment and methodological
congruence throughout the research process. This week, students will
demonstrate their understanding of components that are critical to the
alignment process.
This week, you will develop a white paper that will serve as an
educational tool to engage, inform, and convince your audience about
the significance of alignment in qualitative research, and the critical
importance of achieving “methodological congruence”. To offer support,
you are provided with an explanation of the function and structure of a
white paper (Spotlight on Skills).
You will accomplish several tasks with this assignment:
Step 1. Begin your paper by defining and explaining what alignment
means, and why this is so important. Explain the implications of
alignment, as well as the lack thereof. Remember, the purpose of a
white paper is to provide a convincing argument so that your audience
will clearly understand, and buy into your claims.
Step 2: Choose two qualitative research designs for a potential study
that you explored in Week 2. For each design, provide examples of
alignment for one of the following:
● Methodology and methods
OR
● Methodology, design, and data analysis
OR
● Methodology, design, and presentation of findings
