Task #1 – Conclusion: Summarize Key Points

In this part of the Information Retrieval Paper, you will synthesize the main points from the three peer-reviewed, evidence-based articles.

Directions:

In this section write a paragraph or two to synthesize the key points of the articles.  Consider this section a conclusion of your findings.

For full credit, each of the 3 articles needs a minimum of 3 sentences. Each article topic requires an in-text citation (3 total).

Synthesis Points from Articles (Type Below)

The first article was a retrospective study exploring the Impact of a COPD comprehensive case management program on hospital length of stay and readmission rates. COPD accounts for the majority of chronic disease hospitalizations that are associated with substantial economic and social burdens in the form of impaired quality of life and increased healthcare utilization costs. COPD comprehensive case management program is a vital intervention that can be executed to counter the consequences of COPD hospitalizations. The COPD comprehensive case management program encompassing patient education, follow-ups, and home visits significantly reduces the length of hospital stay as well as readmission rates among COPD patients (Alshabanat et al., 2017). Consequently, nurse leaders should implement the program to improve the overall quality of care for COPD patients.

The second article was a systemic review and meta-analysis investigating the impact of health coaching on hospital readmissions and health-related quality of life among COPD patients. This systemic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that implementation of health coaching, a self-management intervention comprising of goal setting, motivational interviewing, and COPD-related health education, exceptionally reduces hospital readmissions and improves the health-related quality of life among COPD patients (Long et al., 2019). Nurse leaders should establish the most effective health coaching components and delivery modality to accrue its benefits among COPD patients.

The final article looked into the role of respiratory care education in reducing readmissions in COPD patients. This research conducted at Houston Methodist Hospital exhibited that respiratory care education in COPD patients remarkably reduces hospital readmissions (RajtakMuller & Berger, 2018). However, offering respiratory education to COPD patients should be a multidisciplinary approach with nurses as active and critical participants. Subsequently, nurse leaders should consider a multidisciplinary task force including respiratory therapists in the identification, development, and implementation of a care plan that educates the patients as well as their families on COPD as a disease process.

Task #2 – Reference Page

In this part of the Information Retrieval Paper, you will create the reference page for the entire paper in APA format.

Directions:

  • Develop the reference page for your Information Retrieval Paper. Make sure that references are:

– cited in APA format.

– alphabetized.

  • Complete the reference page in the space below.

– Must have 3 peer-reviewed, evidence-based articles
