HLT 317v Grand Canyon Week 1 Discussion 1

Explain the different types of research methodologies used in the health sciences. How would you apply one of these research methods in your workplace? Cite at least one reference to support your rationale using APA documentation.

HLT 317v Grand Canyon Week 1 Discussion 2

While all allied health care professionals possess specialized knowledge of fields, applying that knowledge in the clinical setting requires each practitioner to view his or her role as a vital component of the greater whole, if cost-effective quality care is to be rendered.

After familiarizing yourself with content of the different views in the “Allied Health Community” media, select “Patient Process,” by selecting “Scenarios” and selecting “Patient Process,” located under the “Views” drop down window (Make sure that “Patient Process” is on the “ON” mode). This component of the media illustrates those allied health professions that have direct interactions with the patient.  Based on this media component, discuss the following:

1. Why it is important for the practitioner of the health care profession to have a basic understanding of the collaborative team’s scope of practice and role in order to deliver cost-effective quality care?
2. What communication skills would the practitioner need to learn in order to effectively communicate research with the collaborative team in order to achieve the desired outcomes?

When discussing communication skills with the collaborative team, consider one of the following situations:

1. Communicating with people of different cultures, race, or gender.
2. Communicating to achieve conflict resolution.
3. Communicating to create team building.

How would you adapt your communication style in order to become more effective in achieving your desired outcome?

Cite at least one reference to support your rationale using APA documentation.

Reimbursement in the future is projected to be based on customer satisfaction and positive outcome. Do you agree or disagree with this prediction?

Cite at least two references to support your rationale, using APA documentation.

HLT 317v Grand Canyon Week 5 Discussion 2

The different types of research methodologies

Introduction

Research is a critical aspect of the process of developing and testing a hypothesis. It can help you set up your experiment, test its results, and draw conclusions about what worked and didn’t work. There are different ways to do research—and knowing which methodologies are most appropriate for your project will make it much easier for you to get accurate results from your data collection efforts.

Qualitative research

Qualitative research is a method of inquiry that focuses on the subjective meanings that participants attach to their own actions and experiences. It seeks to gain insight into the perspective of people, rather than simply describing what they say or do.

Qualitative researchers gain understanding through open-ended interviews, focus groups, observation and other forms of direct communication with subjects. These approaches allow them to hear how people talk about their lives in ways that are unique from one another; they also provide access to new perspectives on existing data sets (or previous research).

Quantitative research

Quantitative research is a type of research that uses numbers and statistics to measure and analyze data. Quantitative findings are often used to answer questions about a specific population, such as how many people in a certain region have been hit by cars or how often someone gets sick on their birthday.

In this way, quantitative studies are generalizable: they can be applied to many other similar populations and situations because they rely on principles of math rather than subjective human experience.

Mixed methods research

Mixing quantitative and qualitative methods can be useful for triangulation, but it’s not necessary. For example, you could conduct a survey on the same participants—asking their opinions about your product or service—and then follow up with one-on-one interviews. You could also do an online focus group to get feedback from people who haven’t had any involvement with your company yet.

Mixing qualitative and quantitative research methods helps you understand the research question from different perspectives; this may help you better understand what aspects of an issue/issue area are important to consider when designing solutions or interventions.

There are different ways to do research.

There are many different ways to do research. Quantitative and qualitative studies can be used in different ways, depending on the purpose of the study.

• Qualitative Research: This type of research collect data from people who have firsthand knowledge about a subject matter or event. The researcher doesn’t need to use any special equipment or instruments, but he or she still needs a lot more information than just quantitative data (such as numbers).

• Quantitative Research: In this type of study, researchers collect information using scales that measure specific characteristics such as weight, temperature or height in order to measure how closely similar things really are like each other

Conclusion

So, there you have it! We’ve covered the different types of research. Hopefully this will help you decide what kind of research method is best for your project.
