Resource Management in Health and Social Care: A Comprehensive Report

This report examines resource management within the health and social care sector, focusing on evidence-based practices and research methodologies. It begins by defining the purpose and process of conducting research to enable evidence-based practice, emphasizing the importance of providing high-quality care and the need for nurses to critically evaluate information. The report then details the skills and qualities required for conducting literature reviews, including defining and narrowing the topic, and selecting appropriate sources. Finally, it explains the application of the Gibbs reflection model for analyzing current skills and knowledge in conducting literature reviews. The conclusion highlights the significance of effective resource management and the utility of the Gibbs model in enhancing research capabilities. The report also includes references to relevant books and journals.

INTRODUCTION
Health and social care is sector that includes provision of health and social work activities
(Hart, 2018). The work sector will be inclusive of provision of variety of social assistance
services that directly relates with client. The present report is based on identifying the process
and purpose conducting research and that must be based on evidence practice in health and social
care.
TASK 1
1. Description on the purpose and process conducting research in enabling evidence based
practice in health and social care.
In this, the aim of evidence based practice is to provide high quality care to the individual
or patients. Thus, evidence based practice has various range of meanings. Thus, the purpose of
evidence based practice is as-
The main motive is to provide evidence based practice in terms to deliver the high quality care to
individual patients and patient (Lee, Brain and Martin, 2017). In order to achieve it, nurses need
to be carefully evaluate the ideas and experience and must apply with the all kind of nursing
practices. Under this, it has been also suggested that professional must put their consideration
over the dynamic interaction of belief and value system that affects the experience of patients in
health care.
In contemporary health care settings, the evidence are continually changing. The new research
and technologies emerge, old ideas and opinions and this are subjects to scrutiny. In addition to
this, evidence based practice is continual changing and developing. In this, they must learn to
adopt the process of evidence based practice. With the help of being, open and transparent,
clinical decision making can be justified and accountability demonstrated effectively.
Process of evidence based practice as-
1. Ask a clinical guiding questions- In this, there is need to convert the need for information
about the terms that is based on things as prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy.
2. Find information/evidence to answer question- In this, it can select the information from
the things as database or resources likely to answer types of being asked, utilize,
keywords and concepts (Gates, Kang and Lerner, 2017.).

3. Critically apprise the evidence- It is technique that is helpful in order to find out
reliability, applicability and validity to the client. This is essential to evaluate the strength
and weakness of the evidence.
4. Integrate the appraisal- In this, it is essential to integrating the all things effectively with
clinical expertise and it is important to value the patient’s preferences.
5. Evaluate- In this step, it is very essential to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency so
that there can be ways to improve the things in perfect manner.
2. Description on the skills and qualities needed to conduct literature review in health and social
care.
The literature review demonstrates and provide the effective knowledge about thing and it
is essential to provide a critical analysis of body of work so that each thing can be conducted in
better and efficient mode. In addition to this, the aim of the literature review is depending on the
aim and purpose of the work. The person should be highly skilled so that he can able to give the
depth description about the project so that it can easily find out things in better mode. Thus,
following skills are needed to conduct literature review and that has been defined in below
presented manner as are-
Define your topic- To conduct the better and effective literature there is need to define the
central question so that each thing can be defined in better mode. Under this, the things can be
done in well and efficient mode.
Narrow down the topic- In this, it can be said that the topic which is in short manner will
help to put the major focus over the thing that defines the things in better mode so that the depth
can be done effectively (van Laar and et.al., 2017).
The person should have quality to choose better books so that good literature can be
conducted on the matter of health and social care.
In this, good writer can also use the online articles so that better theory can be conducted.
The literature should be organised and it must be arranged in the paper, files and grouped
into the themes.
3. Define the use of Gibbs reflection model to analyse current skills and knowledge to conduct
literature review in health and social care.
The Gibbs model of reflection is a process that draws research and puts forward the theory
effectively. This process can be broken into six step as are-
2

 It is the step that explores the context of event and covers fine details but I was not able
to collect each thing in described manner about the health and social care.
 It is the step at which writer has to be explore their thoughts and feelings at that time.
 In this step, I use to evaluate the thing in better manner so that effective judgement can be
passed and in this it is to be consider that what kind of things are evaluated in better
mode.
 This is the step that helps me to analyse each thing in the depth mode. This is also the
things that help the break down the situation and will also help to analyse the things
better mode.
 After this all I have conducted the another thing as potential alternative that will be
helpful in order to deal with the situation and this all must be reflected in better mode.
 At this step, the final step is the reflection process. In this, I have design one alternate
action plan so that things can be deal in more effective manner.
CONCLUSION
Based on the above report it can be concluded that managing in health and social care is
essential so that things can be done in better mode. In this, the various things are to be covered as
skills and qualities required to conducted the better and effective research. Thus, Gibbs flection
model has helped me to do things in better mode.
