Discussion Post: PICOT

Answer question in 250 words and use 1 reference. Use the attached references.

Based on the PICOT you developed, summarize the intervention you are proposing. How does this support the population of focus, your setting, and role? Justify how the problem you selected to investigate is amenable to a research-based intervention using the PICOT format. Include your PICOT statement with your response.

PICOT Final

Name_________________Daysha Polk____________________

Complete your PICOT using your approved proposed nursing practice problem. If they were approved, you may use the population and intervention developed in your Topic 1 assignment. Include any necessary revisions in this submission. Refer to the “Example PICOT” below as needed for guidance on how to complete the PICOT.

PICOT Question
P	Population	Patients experiencing decreasing satisfaction levels at ED
I	Intervention	Real-time location systems
C	Comparison	Manually entered status updates to track patients
O	Outcome	Decreased rate of Left Without Being Treated (LWBT) and raising revenue collection
T	Timeframe	Six months
PICOTCreate a complete PICOT statement.	ED patients with decreasing levels of satisfaction (P), does the utilization of a real-time location systems (RTLS) in the hospital’s ED (I), compared to manually entered status updates to track patients (C), help to decrease the rate of LWBT and to raise revenue collection (O) within 6 months (T)?
Problem StatementCreate a problem statement for your PICOT. You will use this problem statement throughout your final written paper.	The current delays, long waits, leaving without being treated, decreased revenue collection from the ED unit, and reduced patient satisfaction scores have negatively portrayed the hospital’s reputation to the public. As a result, the daily patient visits have continued to decrease as people attribute the facility to poor emergency care services delivery. All these complications result from the use of combined data resources and manual entry status updates when tracking patient records. This manual tracking cannot meet the demand for many patients and leads to overcrowding due to and reduced patient flow in the ED. Therefore, there is a need to install an automatic patient tracking system to increase the flow.
