The application of information technology in healthcare has persisted for several decades, following the onset of computerized healthcare programs in the 1950s. There have been progressive technological developments that have led to the information technology trends that are emerging and commonly used in healthcare practice today. These developments correlate to biological discoveries which have been made over the past decades, suggesting wide possibilities for the healthcare field (Shoba, 2020).

It is true to say that an individual’s behaviour is generally shaped by their attitude and that individuals strive for consistency and harmony between these two. When consistency and harmony is absent between these two, they tend to feel discomfort. This discomfort is known as cognitive dissonance; discomfort experienced when holding two or more conflicting cognitions, and these cognitions may include ideas, beliefs, values or emotional reactions. This feeling of discomfort can make individuals alter in their attitudes, beliefs or behaviours.

What does the coronavirus pandemic reveal about power and/or structure and agency, and the enduring nature of social inequality?

By: Christina Epenian Human existence and experience are so complex that there is a need for similarities in the performance or the comportments to create uniformity and solve the complexities. Every society has a uniform and similar way of engaging in everyday actions or operations, contributing to the need to analyse such behaviors to identify their importance. Social norms involve the generally acceptable behavior in a society that an entire community believes should be the right way to handle daily operations or people applying as a tool to determine proper conduct( Cislaghi and Heise 2018).

The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement started in 2013 when Martin's murderer was acquitted, and Alicia Garza and two others coined the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter, which expanded following the death of George Floyd in the United States last year. The death of George Floyd, a black man who died of suffocation because of the excessive force of a white police officer who inspired the BLM movement, provoked worldwide protests.

This paper will explore insights 2 into the deficiency of the existing system and explain more about the need to modify the age of criminal responsibility

Introduction This paper will discuss the need to re-allocating $3 million in state funding away from youth detention centres and invest it in the expansion of the NSW youth Koori Court system. As there is an over-representation of young Aboriginal people in the justice system, the fund of $3 million would assist greatly with supporting Youth Koori Court’s purpose,

What does the coronavirus pandemic reveal about power and/or structure and agency, and the enduring nature of social inequality?The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is widely considered to be one of the most debilitating occurrences, from an economical and health and welfare standpoint. As the infection spread rapidly over a two year period, the consequent effects were devastating and thereby obliterated the economy and the general populace. However, the COVID-19 pandemic brought to light the vulnerability and susceptibilityof society and how they are influenced by structure, agency and social inequality.

Root cause analysis (RCA) is an issue and problem analysis methodical process, which is used in identifying potential causes related to adverse events, sentinel, near misses, and conflict in the workplace (Kellogg et al., 2016). The purpose of this paper is to apply RCT to the case study to apply EBP strategies to address sentinel events, develop a safety improvement plan, and identify organizational resources that can aid in improving the safety improvement plans. A case study related to medication error in health care, which led to sentinel events of allergic reaction and blame culture was selected for analysis.

To analyze the error and find the solutions, only peer-reviewed journal articles from the last five years that concentrate on the use of tabards and medication error reporting systems were selected. Databases such as CINAHL Plus, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and SAGE were used to search the articles. Keywords such as tabards to prevent medication errors, medication error report system, preventing medication errors, and tabards for nurses to find the articles. Filters such as date of publishing, clinical trials, and language to filter the results. Out of 631 results, 20 quantitative articles were selected. Further, the final four articles were selected after analyzing the abstract, type of study, research methodology, journal type, and abstract.

Near misses and adverse effects may or may not harm the patients, but they create panic and distrust in patients leading to lower quality of care. Medication errors are one of the major reasons for adverse effects (Desai et al., 2016). There are different types of medication errors, which include dosage errors, wrong or improper package information, drug-drug interactions, mismatch in patient’s electronic health records, and poor medication administration (Schmidt et al., 2017). Some of the errors can have an adverse effect on patients and even lead to morbidity and mortality. In their study, Kang et al. (2017

A EBP model such as Iowa EBP model helps in incorporating credible evidence by identifying problem and concern, setting up research team to conduct literature review, extract evidence, and discuss evidence critique and synthesize the evidence (Bordoni, 2019)

As CAUTI is a quality, safety, and infection management issue, the evidence should be from a randomized control trial or other quantitative research on interventions with scientific methodology, which includes observations and trials (Skela-Savi? et al., 2020). Parker et al. (2017) used quantitative research with pre-post control analysis to determine effects of implementing appropriate catheters to prevent and control CAUTI.

The evidence-based approach selected for increasing quality of care and safety of patients against CAUTI is to critically analyze clinical and statistical significance of intervention to adopt a nurse-led infection prevention, control, management, and treatment. The rationale behind selecting the approach is it helps in understanding a study by critically evaluating its design, methodology, intervention, outcome, and effectiveness in CAUTI management.

Nursing practice is based on evidence, guidelines, and protocols. Research and articles provide evidence and recommendations that can help in increasing quality care through evidence-based practices (Gray et al., 2016). However, different researches based on different methodologies and interventions provide results to transform them into practices. For example, catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) researches used interventions such as indwelling catheters, daily check-up, aseptic interventions, and other interventions (Atkins et al., 2020). The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the credibility of evidence and resources related to safety or quality issues of CAUTI prevention and use evidence-based practice models to implement the EBP change.

Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, holds profound significance for millions of Muslims worldwide. It entails a spiritual journey to the holy city of Mecca, where believers embark on a series of rituals that symbolize unity, submission, and devotion to Allah.
