<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The preface for the third edition builds on the intent described in the preface for the second edition, which is, to provide a high-quality resource on evaluation for nurses. The intent of this book is to address the special needs of DNP nurses to understand the principles of conducting large scale evaluations, and translating those principles into developing smaller projects, such as unit-based projects or projects required in DNP degree programs. Five years after the preparation of the second edition of this book, some things (principles/concepts/content) have stayed the same while significant changes in other areas of content and knowledge are noteworthy. First, what has stayed the same is the expectation of competency in evaluation of patient outcomes of all professional nurses. However, the competency bar is raised for Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) nurses for evaluating health care and health care systems from a systematic and comprehensive science-based data driven perspective. Evaluation occurs in all areas of healthcare including populations, organizations, systems, programs/projects, health informatics, practice guidelines/protocols, health policy, and other health-related entities. Along with the higher expectations for DNP nurses come greater opportunities to lead evaluation teams and influence high-level decision making in all areas of health care"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Now in its third edition, this award-winning text work is the only advanced practice nursing text to present effective, systematic, and in-depth evaluations of all aspects of health care quality. Comprehensive in scope, it distills best practice information from numerous sources to facilitate utmost competency for APN and DNP graduates. The third edition keeps pace with the rapidly evolving healthcare market by presenting a more comprehensive range of evaluation strategies for analyzing quality, safety, and value in healthcare practice and programs. It provides a completely new chapter on evaluation of simulation programs to improve clinician competency and patient care technology.</p> <p>An increased focus on the application of quality improvement is woven throughout, including the quality improvement-research continuum and an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and teamwork. New case studies, specific examples from a variety of QI projects, and content specifically geared to improve teamwork also add to the book's outstanding value. The text also delves into the theoretical basis of evaluation and its application as an integral part of contemporary practice. It includes evaluation models that enable nurses to address economic and financial viability, and guides readers through the translation of outcomes from evaluation into health care policy. Additionally, the text now includes PowerPoints for instructors.</p> <p><strong>New to the Third Edition: </strong></p> <ul> <li><em>New chapter: </em> Evaluation of Simulation to Support Ongoing Competency in the HC Workforce</li> <li>Additional case studies and specific examples from QI projects</li> <li>Increased focus on teamwork and collaboration</li> <li>Enhanced discussion of theoretical foundations of evaluation approaches</li> <li>New focus on program evaluation and dissemination of findings</li> <li>New PowerPoints available for Instructors!</li> </ul> <p><strong>Key Features: </strong></p> <ul> <li>Addresses AACN competencies and scope of practice</li> <li>Helps students integrate best and evidence-based practices into care</li> <li>Provides guidance on practical methods and tools for Quality Improvement Project</li> <li>Presents evaluation models enabling nurses to address economic and financial viability</li> <li>Includes evaluations of organizations, systems, standards for practice, health care redesign, and the challenges of electronic medical records</li>
