Introduction: With the rapid transformation of the U.S. health
care industry,
today’s HIM (including health care managers) professional
requires an advanced
level of skill sets and training. This includes the basic
ability to conduct health care
research and analysis raw data in order to derive meaningful
information. Conduct
a descriptive research study on the assigned topic “Barriers
to Accepting Health
Information Technologies”.
Deliverables: Your submission must include an APA-formatted
cover sheet.
Step One (Part A): Identifying the Variableso
•
Given the assigned research topic “Barriers to Accepting
Health
Information Technologies”, identify your independent and
dependent
study variable(s) [Refer to the accompanying reference
document
attached below titled “Pointers for Completing Steps One
(Part A &
B)]
Step One (Part B): Formulate The Hypothesiso
State your hypothesis [Refer to the accompanying reference
document
attached below titled “Pointers for Completing Step One (Part
A &
B)]
Step Two
At this point you should have devised both the variables
(independent and
dependent) and hypothesis as it relates to the assigned topic
“Barriers to Accepting
Health Information Technologies”. At this point, let’s move
forward and build
upon steps one in order to complete the first deliverable
due, step two.
Deliverables: Submit one (1) single document at the
conclusion of Week Six no
later than Sunday, by 11:59 PM EST. Your submission must
include an APAformatted cover sheet.
Step Two: Designing a Research Survey & Soliciting
Participantso
Part A. Creating a Cover Letter
▪ Create a one (1) page cover letter that discusses the
following:
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
•
An overview of the topic/study [Hint Hint “Refer to the
assigned topic “Barriers to Accepting Health Information
Technologies”]
State the purpose/need of the study
State the variables of the study [originally created in step
one]
State the hypothesis [originally created in step two]
State your sample size and explain the reasoning behind
the selected size
Discuss the expected benefits of the study
Discuss how you plan to pilot test the survey before
soliciting participants
Include an official statement requesting participation in
the study
Identify and explain any associated risk(s) by
participating in the study. In addition, discuss your
plan(s)/measure(s) to ensure the confidentiality, privacy
and security of the collected data gathered from
completed surveys
State a specific deadline to complete the survey, shall not
exceed sixty (60) days [state in the format of Month,
Date & Year]
Share your data retention schedule and the process of
discarding the collected data [provide specifics on how
the data will be discarded and the time frame of
completion]
Closing Remarks (along with your contact information)
[Include the name and contact number of the designed
person of contact, any closing notes etc.]
Part B. Survey Design
o Having identified the variables and hypothesis in the
previous steps,
design a five (5) question survey as it relates to the
assigned research
topic “Barriers to Accepting Health Information
Technologies”. The
survey must consist of a mix of opened-ended and closed-ended
questions. Be sure to include the answer choices as well for
each
question.
An example of an independent variable may be age or drug type
(e.g. a drug
may be categorized as a study drug or a placebo).
A dependent variable is believed to change based on the
independent variable.
For example, weight might be a dependent variable that
changes based on a
person’s age. In the example of drug type, heart burn could
be a dependent
variable. Heartburn may decrease if the study drug is taken.
You may also want to do some further research on your own to
learn more
about variables and variable relationships. Variables may be
numerical or
categorical.
For this assignment, use the title “Barriers to Accepting
Health Information
Technologies” to identify independent and dependent variables
that should be
investigated in the research survey that you will create.
Consider what types of
relationships may occur between these variables. You will
produce survey
questions that further investigate these relationships.
Step One (Part B): Formulate the Hypothesis
The instructions state, “State your hypothesis.”
Please review Chapter 17, Healthcare Data Analytics within
the Oachs textbook
for definitions of variables. Also refer to the following
links. Also refer to the
following link:
•http://socialresearchmethods.net/kb/hypothes.php
After you have a clear research topic in mind, have
identified independent and
dependent variables, and have considered relationships
between these variables,
you will want to make a statement of what you predict that
relationship will be.
For example, based on the literature, I believe that weight
increases with age.
Now I can convert this statement into a hypothesis. My
hypothesis is, “Weight
increases with age.” Since this is what I believe to be true,
this is called the
alternative hypothesis, denoted H1. The null hypothesis,
denoted H0, is what a
researcher would actually test. A null hypothesis is always
going to support a
status quo or indicate that there is no difference or no
relationship. For my
example, H0: “Weight change is independent of age.”
Here are some generalized way of presenting your null (H0)
and alternative
(H1) hypotheses. If you are comparing categorical data,
•H0: Variable A is independent of Variable B.
•H1: Variable A is dependent on variable B. If you are
testing
against a set value,
•H1: ≠ value (or) H1: > value (or) H1: < value For
this assignment, use your predicted relationship between the
independent and dependent variables that you identified in step one
to create a null and alternative hypothesis. •H0: = value ...
