1SYNTHESIZE RESEARCH EVIDENCE
Clinical problem
Poor quality of patient healthcare resulting in higher costs
PICOT
P=population, the population of interest to be affected are patients in healthcare facilities
I=intervention, the clinical problem can best be addressed by empowering patients about
their rights. This involves explaining to patients the different rights that they possess for
example by using a complaint system. The intervention also involves strengthening the
power of patients by using advocacy or legal entitlement (Orsmond and Cohn, 2015).
C=Comparison, for this clinical problem, I will compare one intervention with another so as
to achieve the intended outcomes. In this case, I will compare the various patient rights that
have been in place with the planned intervention (Orsmond and Cohn, 2015).
O = Outcomes; the intervention is intended at helping patients attain quality healthcare
T= for effective implementation, the change will take around two months
Organization commitment
Further, the organization commitment depends on the will of the members to take up the
intervention implemented. In this case, it will require a number of strategies to ensure that
organization members are committed to the implemented intervention (Orsmond and
Cohn, 2015). Therefore, the commitment of the organization towards the intervention can
best be achieved by education members about the importance of implementing the
intervention. Also, organization members can be given an opportunity to access information

regarding the intervention so as achieve an effective implementation of the intervention
(Misumi et al., 2014).
Team members
In gathering and appraising evidence, various team members are required such as; the
healthcare providers and nurses ((Orsmond and Cohn, 2015). The team members will help
in translating various findings obtained from the research into clinical activities so as to
improve the healthcare of patients (Conner, 2014).
Reason clinical change evidence
In this case, reasonable organization evidence about change is very crucial for implementing
difficult healthcare changes (Orsmond and Cohn, 2015).To note, the failure to successfully
establish enough evidence leads to the unsuccessfully of the intervention(Orsmond and
Cohn, 2015). Using the lowa model, various steps have been prescribed so as to improve
the outcomes of patients (Misumi et al., 2014).
The model includes the following change steps; first; identification of the trigger of the
problem, this involves identifying different problems that result from financial data or risk
management information (Orsmond and Cohn, 2015). The step also involves knowledge
about the new guidance practices that are implemented. Second, determination of priority
of the problem; this involves making an analysis of the major problem that results in the
poor health care of patients in hospitals. This is important in designing the team members
that should support the development, evaluation, and implementation of the intervention.
Third, analysing the organization to determine if the intervention proposed is scientific in
