The topic I chose is:

Time Motion Analysis: Impact of Scribes on Provider Time Management

Purpose of the study:

The purpose of this study is to determine if scribes benefit Emergency Department

providers with time management.

Research question addressed in the study:

There were 3 points addressed in this study, which are:

1. Comparing times with and without scribes for shift and post-shift documentation in the

Electronic Health Record.

2. Comparing times with and without scribes for bedside charting including interviews,

examinations, procedures, re-evaluation, disposition, and education.

3. Comparing times with and without the use of scribes for conversations with treatment

team members

Hypothesis of the study:

The study's hypothesis is that scribes are beneficial to Emergency Department providers

by saving them time when charting.

Study design: Experimental or observational:

The study design for this research is prospective observational study.

Data collection methods:

Data was collected from forty-eight shifts that were eight hours long. These twenty-eight

shifts were divided into two, one with and without using scribe with the observation of four

research assistants.

Are the data categorical or quantitative:

The data collection for this study is categorical.

Weakness of data collection methods:

A major weakness of this data collection is that the providers report their own after-hour

documentation times.

Prompt

Write an analysis of a peer-reviewed article that is related in some way to the health professional programs. Remember to read the article carefully as you will not only be analyzing the use of statistics in the research but discussing possible further research as well.

Your article analysis must be 3 to 4 pages in length. Use double-spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Follow the most recent APA formatting and citation style guidelines.

Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.

1. Purpose: In this section of your analysis, you need to introduce the study you analyzed, describing its purpose, research question, and hypothesis.

· Describe the purpose of the study, including the research questions and hypothesis.

2. Research Methods: In this section of your analysis, you will take a deep dive into the research methods used by the authors of the study you analyzed. It is important that you can identify, describe, and discuss the data collection and data analysis methodology used by the researchers.

· Identify whether the study design is experimental or observational. Support your identification with examples from the study.

· Identify the methods used to collect the data and explain why the methods are appropriate based on the research question.

· Identify the data collected as quantitative or categorical. Support your identification with examples from the study.

· Discuss the weakness of the data collection methods used. Support your discussion with specific details.

· Identify the data analysis methods used and explain why the methods are appropriate based on the research question.

· Discuss the potential weaknesses of the data analysis methods used. Support your discussion with examples from the study.

· Describe the key demographics of the population sampled and identify the inclusion and exclusion criteria for participants.

3. Key Findings: Now that you have discussed the research methods used by the researchers, you will need to state and discuss their findings, differentiating between the results of the experimental and control groups.

· State the results of the research, describing how the researchers determined whether or not the results are statistically significant.

· Describe the differences in the results between the groups in the study and support your description with examples from the study.

4. Limitations of the Study: Unfortunately, every data collection method and data analysis method has limitations. In this section, you need to explain the limitations presented by the study population and the advantages and disadvantages of the statistical analysis used.

· Explain the limitations presented by the study population and sample size used. Support your explanation with examples from the study.

· Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the type of statistical analysis used. Support your discussion with examples from the study.

· Identify the limitations of the study design used and explain why those limitations exist.

5. Major Conclusions from the Study: In this section, you will need to analyze the conclusions reached by the researchers and compare them to the conclusions of another study from the reference section of your selected study. You will also need to explain how the study you have analyzed contributes to scientific literature and speculate about further investigations that might take place because of this research.

· Discuss how the results from this study compare with those of a study listed in the references of your main article. Support your discussion with examples from both studies.

· Explain how this study contributes to scientific literature. Support your explanation with specific examples.

· Describe further investigations that could take place because of this study.
