Running head: DATA COLLECTION TOOLS PART 1 Data Collection Tools Part 1 Jason Parker HCS/588 August 22,2016 University of Phoenix 1 DATA COLLECTION TOOLS PART 1 2 Data Collection Tools Part 1 In my case, I will focus on improvement patient safety in healthcare excellent towards improving patient care. Patient safety is designed to improve overall patient safety and security. Firstly, patient safety entails correct identification of patients regarding naming, date, and the right identification. Secondly, we have improved staff communication for better understanding between the patient and the medical practitioner offering the assistance. Thirdly, patient safety aims at improving the correct use of medicine regarding labeling, procedure, and recording. Fourthly, proper use of alarms and making sure that signals are heard and responded to immediately. Lastly, patient safety requires that patients’ risks like suicide be identified, and mistakes in surgery prevented. Having looked at what patient safety entails I will divide research into two parts namely; Data Collection Tools and Data Display, Measurement and Reporting. Data collection tools monitor improvements. Information is very crucial to be collected to monitor the improvements needed in the organization. Some of the information includes; looking at whether the patients are identified correctly, whether they are received and communicated to in the right way, correct labeling of medicine and prescription and the kind or care given to patients regarding monitoring. Once this data is collected correctly, it can be closely monitored for further improvements hence improving the image of Davis Health Care, which is dedicated to providing an excellent patient care experience. It is this data, which can improve the patient safety. Data collection tools Using questionnaires with closed and open-end questions provides different types of data that narrow in on specific subjects. This involves use general topics but sensitive in a way to identify some of the main challenges a given organization is facing. Like in our case, Davis DATA COLLECTION TOOLS PART 1 3 healthcare can conduct a questionnaires research on what is happening in the organization to come up with the right information needed in coming up with comprehensive data for the better company. The other tool that can be used is observation. Observation is a technique that involves systematically selecting, watching and recording behaviors and characteristics of a given phenomenon. In this case, one can use observation to look at how the patients communicate with the medics in the hospital, look at how the hospital keeps the records of the patients and look at the general care given to patients. This information is very necessary for coming up with generalizations o what is happening in the organization. Therefore, Davis Health Care should hire professionals to make these important observations on what is going on in the organization. From there the necessary amendments can be done to come up with better data, which is reliable in transforming the image of the organization, in this case, Davis Health Care. The third method that can be used is an interview. Interviews in quantitative research comprise of closed-end structured questions, which are asked by the interviewer to the interviewee. These interviews can be face-to-face, telephonic or computer-assisted personal interviews. Interviews can be fully structured, semi-structured or unstructured. Structured interview tends to have some sense of formality with a clear set guideline, which is followed. Semi-structured tends to have some sense of formality but not that fixed like the case of a structured interview. Lastly, the unstructured interview does not have any regulation guiding on how it is conducted to come up with data. Here the interviewer has the choice to ask whatever questions he or she may have. Types of information each tool collects Questionnaires can be used to evaluate the level of health care access to determine to what level are the medics reachable by their clients regarding communication. Surveys can also provide the necessary information needed to improve the operations in the hospital. Especially in DATA COLLECTION TOOLS PART 1 4 looking at the roles of each team player plays towards the achievement of the companies a goal. Questionnaires can also help in offering feedback from the on the care given by physicians and nurses towards appointment and time and the extent to which the patient feels satisfied. However, for the surveys to be effective, they must have sufficient questions needed in conducting the research. Again, it must be short and entertaining in a way. Observation as a tool of data collection can be used to look at the extent to which the patients are satisfied regarding the service given. Observation can help in collecting data on the time taken to serve a client as well as the waiting period (Silverman, 2016). The view can be used to evaluate the cost, freeness of the patient the doctor. Observation can help in looking at the after services given by the hospital to the patient. Again, one can look at the counseling services given by the hospital to its patients. Lastly, interviews can be carried on the patients to question them on their level of satisfaction regarding the service offered you. Through the interview, one can interrogate the patients on how they feel towards the hospital. This will can be done through asking short structured questions like asking them how the medical personnel communicate to them? Ask them whether they feel the contact time is sufficient? Ask about the medicine given? Ask on post medical assistance for example counseling. This information is very helpful and can be relied upon in improving the image of the hospital to better levels. Strengths and Weaknesses of each data collection tool Questionnaires have the advantage of asking questions, which can be very effective in research especially if using closed-ended questions (Taylor, Bogdan & DeVault, 2015). This because they generate efficient data reliable in depicting the real image of what is happening in DATA COLLECTION TOOLS PART 1 5 the organization. On the other side, they have the disadvantage of limiting the level of response by the person being questioned again they still require the budget to conduct them. Observations have the advantage of seeing the exact happenings hence generating the right information useful in improving the hospital facility. It is also a cheap method of data collection since it does not require many materials to conduct. However, it has the disadvantage of being biased by the person conducting the research. Therefore, the observer may give unreliable information. Lastly, interviews have the advantage of asking to follow up questions for better understanding of the respondents’ answers hence providing better information unlike questionnaires, which tend to be fixed. On the contrary, interviews tend to have the disadvantage of being time-consuming and at times one may not reach the desired target population. Explain how the data collection tools are similar and different. They are all similar in the sense that they all target collecting information. Like in this case, the target information is looking at how to improve patient safety at Davis Health Care. On the difference, they all use different means to collect information and the results before constructing a report tend to be different due to the disadvantages discussed above. Data Display, Measurement, and Reporting Tools that Measure Tables Control Charts Pie Chart Run chart Bar Chart Scatter Diagram DATA COLLECTION TOOLS PART 1 6 Tool measures, Displays, and Reports Tables can be used to measure the extent to which a phenomenon has occurred. Like in the case of a hospital, we can create a table showing how patients have been attended. Tables carry information on the expected information. In most cases, the information tends to be very specific like for instance a focus on the number of patients. Table displays and reports information in a simple manner easy to understand. However, it does not give predictions. Charts on the other hand measures information regarding the extent to which it has occurred. Charts include pie charts among others. They tend to have some statistical data of what is happening in an organization. Displays information in simplified manner and reports information more statically to predict what is going on and what is likely to happen (Garner & Scott, 2013). Measurement, display, and reporting tool's strengths and weaknesses Tables are cheap to construct and understand hence reach out many people as possible. However, they have the disadvantage of being brief and carry limited information, and if detailed they tend to be too lengthy. Charts, on the other hand, have the advantage of being detailed in a way and incorporating much information. Again, they are very brief and easy to understand for those who get the meaning. However, they have the disadvantage of needing some knowledge to construct and come times need some calculations. How the measurement, display, and reporting tools are similar and different from each other They all related in that they both help in summarizing information to be in a brief and easy to understand way. The only difference they have is the type of information they carry and how they are constructed. Tables are cheap to construct and understand hence reach out many people as possible. However, they have the disadvantage of being brief and carry limited DATA COLLECTION TOOLS PART 1 7 information, and if detailed they tend to be too lengthy. Charts, on the other hand, have the advantage of being described in a way and incorporating much information. Useful measurement, display, and reporting tools are for health care organizations They are helpful in the sense that they help health care organizations to get in touch with the reality and understand what is going on in the organization. Again, they can be relied upon to improve in what is happening in a given organization. Again, these tools can show information like how patients visit the facility. Look at the level of satisfaction and much more. DATA COLLECTION TOOLS PART 1 8 References. Garner, R., & Scott, G. M. (2013). Doing qualitative research: designs, methods, and techniques.
