RESEARCH CONCEPTS FOR HIM 3

I would use observation as the research method to test my hypothesis. Investigators use the qualitative approach of observation to track the behavior of subjects in a real-world setting. More accurate information is the goal of this sort of study. It is effective because a researcher may collect data on individuals' actions rather than their statements. Moreover, it is suitable for this research because it can be carried out on a technology after it has already been introduced and is being incorporated in a specific area of the medical field; which is suitable because my research is on health IT. However, it is important to note that observational research fills a significant gap in healthcare research, serving as a veritable tool to experimental research (Ostropolets, 2021).

I chose this method because it is a suitable alternative to experimental investigations. Moreover, it works best because as a   researcher I will not be interacting with or manipulating the study subjects, but rather I’ll be merely watching and recording their responses. Additionally, I t is less difficult to replicate so I can be able to re-conduct it for a more accurate analysis; incorporating these methods results in the most compelling evidence to support decision-making. When collected information and methodology from observational research are used, it is possible to save money and time whilst still obtaining high-quality data to help support or disprove the hypothesis.
