Assignment: Application: Systems Theory
As noted in the Learning Resources, systems theory provides a meaningful and beneficial means of examining challenges in health care organizations. To do this effectively, however, it is essential to assess all system components, as some may be relatively healthy while others are problematic.

For this Assignment, you apply systems theory to the examination of a problem in a department or a unit within a health care organization. (Note: You may use the same problem you identified for the Discussion as long as it meets the criteria for this assignment.)

To prepare:

Review the Meyer article, “Nursing Services Delivery Theory: An Open System Approach,” in this week’s Learning Resources. Focus especially on the information presented in Table 1 (p. 2831) and Figure 2 (p. 2833).
Reflect on your organization or one with which you are familiar. Within a particular department or unit in this organization, identify a problem the staff is encountering.
Using Table 1 in the Meyer article as a guide, analyze the department or unit, identifying inputs, throughput, output, cycles of events, and negative feedback. Consider whether the problem you have selected relates to input, throughput, output, cycles of events, and/or negative feedback.
Think about how you could address the problem: Consider what a desired outcome would be, then formulate related goals and objectives, and translate those goals into policies and procedures.
Research professional standards that are pertinent to your identified problem.
Reflect on the organization’s mission statement and values. In addition, consider how addressing this problem would uphold the mission and values, while improving the organizational culture and climate. (Depending on the organization you have selected, you may have explored these in the Week 1 Discussion.)
To complete:

By Day 7
Write a 3- to 5-page paper (page count does not include title and reference page) that addresses the following:

Describe a department or unit within a health care organization using systems theory terminology. Include a description of inputs, throughput, output, cycles of events, and negative feedback.
Describe the problem you identified within the department or unit using an open- systems approach, and state where the problem exists using the systems theory model (input, throughput, output, cycles of events, or negative feedback).
Based on this information, explain how you would address the problem as follows:
Formulate a desired outcome.
Identify goals and objectives that would facilitate that outcome.
Translate those goals and objectives into policies and procedures for the department or unit.
Describe relevant professional standards.
Explain how your proposed resolution to the problem would uphold the organization’s mission and values and improve the culture and climate.

Literature Review

It is recommended that you use the PsychARTICLES index for this assignment. Nursing, medical or non-Psychology
journals will not be accepted and the assignment will receive a zero.

You have already completed a research summary of one empirical article, so you will only need to locate two more
empirical articles for the literature review. You should make all necessary corrections and edits based on the
returned graded copy of your research summary and include that research article as part of the literature review.
However, keep in mind that a literature review is not simply a compilation of three separate research summaries. You
must synthesize the information by organizing the information by topics. See the links at the end of the assignment
for help with writing the literature review.

In addition to the article you already have from the research summary assignment, you must locate two recent primary
(empirical) pieces of research that are both scholarly and peer-reviewed. You should rely heavily on their copy of
the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) for help with the literature review. You
can also find resources online through the Trent University Library (https://www.trentu.ca/library/) and you may email
the Trent University academic skills ( https://www.trentu.ca/academicskills/)
http://www.writing.utoronto.ca/advice/specific-types-of-writing/literature-review
http://www.iupui.edu/~uwc/pdf/Literature%20Review%20and%20Synthesis.pdf

The third link provides an actual student example of a literature review with comments from the professor.

http://faculty.mwsu.edu/psychology/Laura.Spiller/Experimental/sample_apa_style_litreview.pdf

Keep in mind that the example is much longer than the literature review required for this assignment because it
consisted of 5 research articles and only 3 are required for this one.

This literature review should be no more than 5 pages, not including title page and reference page.
Literature Review Rubric

Provides complete, accurate and relevant information based firmly on extensive and careful evaluation of the
research.

Provides mostly complete, accurate, and relevant information based on research.

Provides basic, some of which may be incorrect and/or irrelevant information based on minimal research.

Paper is lacking information and/or information is inaccurate and irrelevant needing much more research.

Demonstrates little understanding of the topic through minimal analysis and reflection.
Identified gaps, but demonstrates no critical thought.
Ideas for future research do not flow from the critique of current research and fail to provide a connected avenue of
study

Write a paper discussing some of the basic scientific and technical concepts of nanotechnology.Write a paper discussing some of the basic scientific and technical concepts of nanotechnology. Do the following in your paper:

Nanotechnology (also called nanotech) is a branch of materials science that deals with manipulating matter on the atomic scale. It is so called because this field deals with engineering on the scale of a billionth of a meter, also known as a nanometer. Nanotechnology seeks to solve a wide range of problems from the construction of atomic scale machines to changing material properties at the atomic level.

Write a paper discussing some of the basic scientific and technical concepts of nanotechnology. Do the following in your paper:

Discuss current or future applications of nanotechnology in fields such as medicine, engineering, space exploration, fuel cell development, air and water purification, and agriculture.

Provide at least three examples of real-world applications in use or in development with reliable references.

Discuss the differences between non-parametric and parametric tests. Provide an example of each and discuss when it is appropriate to use the test. Next, discuss the assumptions that must be met by the investigator to run the test.

Conclude with a brief discussion of your data analysis plan. Discuss the test you will use to address the study hypothesis and which measures of central tendency you will report for demographic variables. (enclosed is my hypothesis)
