Now that the data has been collected using reliable and valid tools, researchers move onto the next step in the research process: Data Analysis. Data analysis is key for discovering credible findings from implementing nursing studies. Discussion and conclusions can be made about the meaning of the findings from the data analysis. 

• Share what you learned about descriptive analysis (statistics), inferential analysis (statistics), and qualitative analysis of data; include something that you learned that was interesting to you and your thoughts on why data analysis is necessary for discovering credible findings for nursing.
• Compare clinical significance and statistical significance; include which one is more meaningful to you when considering the application of findings to nursing practice.

  When politics and medical science intersect, there can be much debate. Sometimes anecdotes or hearsay are misused as evidence to support a particular point. Despite these and other challenges, however, evidence-based approaches are increasingly used to inform health policy decision-making regarding the causes of disease, intervention strategies, and issues impacting society. One example is the introduction of childhood vaccinations and the use of evidence-based arguments surrounding their safety.

In a five-paragraph document, identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy.

To Prepare:

· Review the Congress website provided in the Resources and identify one recent (within the past 5 years) proposed health policy.

· Review the health policy you identified and reflect on the background and development of this health policy.

 Topic – Heart Failure ages 27-90

By the due date Assigned, write a 1-2 page paper addressing the sections below of the research proposal.

Methodology   You are to design a study.  

•     Sample/Setting: Number and criteria for inclusion and description of place in which data will be collected.
•     Sampling Strategy
•     Research Design: Type (e.g., Quasi-Experimental), description, and rationale for selection

The benefits, concerns, and challenges of a systems approach offer the practice scholar several ways to view a health problem. Select a practice problem within your unique setting and consider the following.

• Describe the selected problem from two of the three systems levels (micro-, meso-, and macro).
• Explain how the outcomes of one system-level effect the other level?
• How are the systems approach beneficial in improving healthcare quality and safety?
