Week 1 – Assignment 1: Demonstrate the Need for Evidence-Based Healthcare

Instructions

As a healthcare administrator for a big healthcare organization, one of your roles is to ensure

that the organization you manage continues to lead in adapting evidence-based healthcare

when providing healthcare services. In your consultation with experts in this area, you have

come to learn that to be successful all your staff must see the value in employing evidence-

based healthcare in practice. For this reason, you think it will be a great idea to work with the

communications department to spread the message. The communications department

decides that you should deliver a short overview (video) that highlights the following:

1. Discuss why empirical evidence from quantitative studies will benefit your

organization. Provide at least two examples where results from quantitative studies

have been used to improve operation and decision-making in healthcare organizations

in the past.

2. Detail the type of research and library skills that will enhance your organization’s staff

utilization of empirical findings in key decisions.

3. Provide scenarios and/or examples of how evidence-based healthcare can help

improve health outcomes and your organization’s bottom-line.

In preparation to deliver this audiovisual recording that will be featured on your

organization’s website, write a speech transcript and deliver an audiovisual recording.

Your report will be scored based on your ability to demonstrate understanding of important

research concepts that you were introduced to earlier this week. Your competency will only

come through if you understand the key concepts in this week. For this reason, you are

encouraged to take your weekly readings and resources seriously.
