IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE

 

Never have we had vast amounts of data at our fingertips like we do today. However, before we

can meaningfully access and use data for interpretation, it must be transformed. To derive

meaning from the data collected, you need to understand that data collection is rapidly changing

and constantly evolving. The methods with which data is collected, analyzed, and used to justify,

support, or lend credibility to research aims, are all important considerations for the nurse

researcher. As it relates to Big Data, the methods of how data is collected, analyzed, and used for

implementation is also important. While the availability of data collection certainly has its

advantages, many researchers point to the concerns over Big Data.

For this Discussion, reflect on your understanding of Big Data and the implications for

implementation. Consider the impact of research as it relates to collection via Big Data and

consider how this impact might lead to potential barriers in implementation and practice gaps.

Reflect on your experience and consider how these key issues might impact nursing practice.

TO PREPARE

 Review the Learning Resources for this week, focusing specifically on the

implementation science articles and web resources.

 Consider the issues related to research and Big Data.

BY DAY 3 OF WEEK 4

Post and describe what you believe is most significant as a key issue with Big Data in which

dissertation research has been completed, yet the data has not been analyzed or implemented.

 Please cite specific examples of research that was completed with potential for great

social impact but was not implemented. 

 What are some potential barriers for implementing the research analyzed?

 What potential gaps exist between evidence-based approaches and the research

process?

PLEASE USE THE RESOURCES IN THIS INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPLETE THE

 

DISCUSSION.
