Change Topic (2-3 sentences): PICOT Analysis. Generally, a high level of patient satisfaction for the clients in the emergency department (ED) is vital, especially at this time when the healthcare system is shifting towards patient-centered care. Utilization of RTLS in the hospital’s ED, compared to manually-entered status updates to tract patients, help decrease the rate of LWBT and to raise revenue collection within 6 months, for ED patients with decreasing satisfaction levels with the provided healthcare services. This is as from the articles discussed below.

Analysis
|
Increasing needs and demands of the patients influence suitability of satisfaction levels. Assessing patient satisfaction through various inpatient services can lead to measurement of care quality. Increased engagements with the healthcare provider can shape perceptions impacting satisfaction. |
Patients arriving and been admitted in hospitals ED have expectations of staying longer in the hospital after admission. This can have an impact on their satisfaction and confidence depending on the length of hospitalization. |
Priorities established by the leader demonstrate commitment to excellence and patient care. The care entails safety through performance improvement. Experience improvement is based on patient and family involvement in care, staff support, and support technologies enabling satisfaction.
|
RTLS in healthcare tracks emergency first response by hospitals and providers. The technology exploits real-time location and status information of tracked entities. In the ED the technology provide timely responses to patients. Care providers would receive timely information on patients, rooms, their stay in hospital, and needs. |
Key Findings
|
Determinants/ predictors used ought to create perceptions on satisfaction levels. Interactions with the care provider as well as facility amenities (toilet cleanliness, accommodation, and dietary service) are key predictors in satisfaction levels. |
Prolonged stays in the ED were associated with discharges from the hospital. This reduced the association between increased risk of death and hospitalization. |
Building a sense of community and satisfaction of all shareholders considers the experiences created. Patient care strategies are highly facilitated by humanized care leadership strategies enabling healing and satisfaction. |
The technology can be integrated with other in-place technologies to communicate in real-time in providing quick responses. The solutions offered consider tagged locations with precision to locate rooms and needy patients. |

Patient satisfaction in practice building. |
Individual factors influencing satisfaction. |
Analysis
|
Hospitals are expected to meet growing patient volumes. This would enable providers to satisfy patients in various stages of treatment through technologies. |
Client satisfaction information in the ED department can streamline workflow. While technology can be applied to enhance the satisfaction, providers are required to provide technical quality in care delivery. |
Assessment of quality from a report published in 2001 showed how patient satisfaction can be used to shape healthcare practice. The doctor, patient, and organization are important factors in service excellence. |
Through regression analysis, the results depicted predictors of satisfaction in the ED for patients and companions. Core domains in satisfaction entailed age, gender, and employment of the patient. Companions with lower education levels and visited due to patient illness were more satisfied. |
Key Findings
|
Patient-tracking technologies help providers by providing real-time information on patients. The information is used to mould workflow enabling customization to fit patient and organization needs. |
Social rapport built creates both trust and satisfaction to the parties. However, providers should consider authentic engagement for deeper connections. This has regards to reduced computer usage. |
Even if patient satisfaction is an attitude, it determines patient loyalty to the doctor and the hospital. Patient-focuses care provided is expected to meet expectations besides ensuring the organizations strives to provide better care. The satisfaction can act as an indicator to quality care. |
Active communication between care providers and patients or companions can help in predicting patient satisfaction. Communication in the ED is important to keep visitors satisfied and cared for. |
Recommendations
|
Technology benefits should fit organizational and patient needs to yield outcomes. |
Face to face interaction in patient engagement. Create authentic engagements with patients. |
Doctors and hospitals should strive to provide better care and exceed patient expectations. |
Assessment of the waiting period as a determinant of patient satisfaction. |
Explanation of How the Article Supports EBP/Capstone
|
The article will be utilized to educate how tracking technology integration can be used to promote best practices. |
The article also emphasizes the efficiency provider-patient engagement for satisfaction. |
The article evaluates patient satisfaction as an element in improving quality of care. |
The article offers substantial information on patient satisfaction determinants across ED settings. |

Our goal is to help as many students as possible with their assignments, i.e. our prices are affordable and services premium.
- Discussion Questions (DQ)
Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
- Weekly Participation
Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week. Benchmark -Evidence-Based Practice Project: Literature Evaluation Table
- APA Format and Writing Quality
Familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
- Use of Direct Quotes
I discourage over-utilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
- LopesWrite Policy
For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
- Late Policy
The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
- Communication
Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
