Clinical Question
In Medicare beneficiary’s population, does bed-side teaching from nurses reduce hospital readmission compared to the implementation of Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) within thirty days after discharge? The research aims to describe the evidence-based interventions that could be beneficial in preventing hospital readmission.
Level of Evidence
A quantitative study contributes to the substantial evidence for nursing practice and allows the analyzer to see what the effectiveness of the interventions were (Houser, 2018). Therefore, the study will help nurses to understand the effectiveness of the intervention in preventing unnecessary hospital readmissions. The type of clinical question is a preventative question. Quantitative studies assist the nurse to design interventions that prevent obstacles and address the issues to assist patient to maintain and attain good health (Houser, 2018).”
Search Strategy
There are critical points in the topic chosen to find the search terms. For example, the category the group was assigned was Avoiding Hospital Readmissions. The two terms that searched in compiling the resources were hospital readmissions and preventions. Once the key-points are identified, the websites are then searched. The use of Chamberlain Library was utilized, which has Ebsco and ProQuest. These databases must then be refined into what type of articles used. The ones that were picked were from a scholarly resource that was primary use. The articles chosen…
