    Currently, staff members receive an annual performance appraisal which evaluates performance for the entire year. An annual employee survey is conducted to determine the views and perceptions of employee of the hospital and their colleagues. Since MDs work for Columbia University, they are assessed by the college and the method of evaluation was unknown at this time. Both methods of evaluation appear to be effective as employee performance appraisals are being completed annually and in a timely manner. Given the current findings, one can determine that employees should be given another forum to address issues on their performance throughout the year. Monthly and audits are performed on charts in an attempt to discover potential area for reeducation. Daily audits are also done for pyxis, gluconmeter, code carts to ensure that equipment is ready for emergencies. A major component missing is a collaborative interaction between healthcare personnel. Staff members are offered the opportunity to attend continued education, in-services and certification classes as an incentive and to enhance…

    The assessment process may be defined as the organized and systematic collection and assimilation of data on the patient’s health status through a variety of sources: these include the patient as a primary source, along with their medical records and any information obtained from the family or any other person giving patient care. Secondary sources can be professional journals and medical texts. (Galasko,1997)…

    As a student/healthcare worker who is new to critical appraisal I am aware that I do not fully understand some of the calculations involved in reporting of findings, however Greenhalgh (2006) argued, ‘all you really need to know is what the best test is to apply in given circumstances, what it does and what might affect its validity/appropriateness’. When caring for patients it is essential that Healthcare Professionals are using current best practice. To determine what this is they must be able to read research, as not all research is of the same quality or standard therefore Healthcare Professionals should not simply take research at face value simply because it has been published (Cullum and Droogan, 1999; Rolit and Beck, 2006).…

    To minimize error in decision-making and promote efficient practice nurses are encouraged through effective communication to link evidence construed from research, with clinical expertise and patients’ expectations, (NMC, 2015). The process of constructively documenting evidence extracted from a research paper was personally daunting. This is probably attributable to my lack of familiarity with the process of critical appraisals. As Moule and Goodman (2014) explains, a fundamental understanding of research methodology and general terminologies is essential; having some background knowledge of the research topic in question also facilitates a better evaluation exercise.…

    As a distinct and formal management procedure used in the evaluation of work performance, appraisal really dates from the time of the Second World War. The human inclination to judge can create serious motivational, ethical and legal problems in the workplace. Without a structured appraisal system, there is little chance of ensuring that the judgments made will be lawful, fair, defensible and accurate. Early motivational researchers were aware that different people with roughly equal work abilities could be paid the same amount of money and yet have quite different levels of motivation and performance. As a result, the traditional emphasis on reward outcomes was progressively rejected. In the 1950s in the United States, the potential usefulness of appraisal as tool for motivation and development was gradually recognized. The general model of performance appraisal, as it is known today, began from that time.…

    Evaluation is not just for the program to assess its own quality, but it is also used by governing bodies such as, the Accreditation Commission for Educating in Nursing (ACEN), to ensure standards are being upheld (Lewallen, 2015). The data appraised should be collected from many resources, from beginning to the end, in both formative and summative assessments (Kumm & Laverentz, 2017).…

    In today’s healthcare environment, current practice is based on evidence, so early consideration of how evaluation will be done is imperative (Bastable, 2008, p. 558). Evaluation is an ongoing process that addresses the effectiveness of a specific intervention in a particular situation with an individual or specified group (Bastable, 2008, p. 558). Results of these evaluations then become a source to guide future practice when critically analyzed to enhance future nurse-patient interactions (Bastable, 2008, p. 559).…

    This course has provided a better understanding of a nurse practitioner’s important role in providing care for patients and therefore measuring the impact of care or outcomes is necessary to evaluate performance (Kapu, & Kleinpell, 2013). When a patient comes in due to a health problem, it is expected that they be provided with the necessary care needed. With the utilization of the SOAP note prioritizing and recognizing problems have become straightforward with incidental health findings also taken cared of. It decreases the chances of conditions being left out that could worsen over time if not treated promptly. It is also important to take the financial aspect into consideration when planning care, whether conservative or aggressive; and most importantly should be within the scope and boundaries of a nurse…
