SOLVED88

Two advantages of practice evaluation are valuable feedback that can improve professional development and transparency that lends itself to accountability (Rubin & Parrish, 2007). A significant disadvantage is that practice evaluations can be resource inadequacies such as time constraints, money, and needed expertise (Rubin & Parrish, p. 423, 2007). A second disadvantage is that it is defined differently between scholars and educators (Rubin & Parrish, p. 420, 2007). B) Give an example and describe one way that your agency implements practice evaluation. Provide an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the method used. Our agency implements practice evaluation by asking patients to fill out surveys before they leave the hospital. These surveys ask a few pointed questions but also allow the patient to give improvement and appreciative feedback. One strength is that it allows all patients to voice their opinions on how the Behavioral Services Unit and its workers are doing. It is used to help ensure top-notch patient care. One weakness is that not all patients fill them out, and some do not fill them out truthfully. Some individuals do not want to cause any issues and won’t provide any improvement feedback, and others are angry that they were placed on the unit via EPC and give skewed improvement feedback with no positives. C) Select and describe an additional evaluation approach that may be useful given what you know about your field placement agency and the population served, using Rubin and Parrish’s recommendations about evidence-based practice. One evaluation approach that could be used is outcome measurements. This would focus on things such as improvements in the patient’s mental health symptoms and changes in their behaviors. Both of these can be measured appropriately and used for all clients. D) Based on the Davis, Dennis, and Culbertson reading, discuss whether a single-system design is being used or could be used at your field placement agency to evaluate clinical outcomes. It is hard to use a single-system design at my field placement agency because patients do not often stay with us for a significant amount of time to fit in all of the system’s key features and components. Most of the time, patients are on the unit for one to three days, often there to get stabilized before being released. While we track and measure a patient’s mental health symptoms while on the unit, we only check in with them once after they have left, and that is within 24-48 hours of discharge. We could use single-systems design on patients who stay on the unit for a long period of time, but this would only be a few cases.
