Value

A

Combines benefits and costs (ex. 100mill, 200 mill reward is the best value)

113
Q

Affordability

A

how much the proposed intervention costs (10, 11 reward is affordable)

114
Q

Economic evaluation

A

determines what additional benefit an intervention provides at what additional cost focus on INTEGRATING GAINS

115
Q

High value + unaffordable

A

IRRELEVANT

116
Q

Purpose of Evidence Based Guidelines

A

Effective care delivery
Resolve inconsistency
Excellence in care delivery
Benefits vs Harm

communication of research findings

119
Q

Mini study

120
Q

Translation science

A

Investigation of methods, interventions and variables that influence adoption of EIP

121
Q

Knowledge translation

A

Includes synthesis, dissemination, exchange and application of knowledge to improve health of Canadians

122
Q

Plain Language

A

123
Q

Non probability

A

Inclusion in a group is NOT random, less generalizable, less representative

124
Q

Types of non probable studies

A
  1. Convenience (quantitative)
  2. Quota (quantitative)
  3. Purposive (qualitative)
125

A
  1. Simple random sampling
  2. Stratified random sampling
  3. Systematic sampling
127
Q

Simple random sampling

A

population identified, units random

128

Stratified random sampling

A

Q

Quota

132
Q

Purposive

A

selected because they have certain characteristics

133

Q

Correlational disadvantages

A

Q

Retrospective Advantages

A

post-facto, past events
