Medical Errors BibliographyConduct a search for scholarly or academic peer-reviewed
literature related to the topic and describe the criteria you used to search for articles,
including the names of the databases you used. You will select four current scholarly or
academic peer-reviewed journal articles published during the past 3–5 years that relate to
your topic. You will want to access the applicable Undergraduate Library Research Guide
related to your degree (found at the NHS Learner Success Lab) for tips to help you in your
search. Use keywords related to the health care problem or issue you are researching to
select relevant articles. 3. Assess the credibility and explain relevance of the information
sources you find. Determine if the source is from an academic peer-reviewed journal.
Determine if the publication is current. Determine if information in the academic peer-
reviewed journal article is still relevant. 4. Analyze academic peer-reviewed journal articles
using the annotated bibliography organizational format. Provide rationale for inclusion of
each selected article. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to document a list of
references along with key information about each one. The detail about the reference is the
annotation. Developing this annotated bibliography will create a foundation of knowledge
about the selected topic. In your annotated bibliography: Identify the purpose of the article.
Summarize the information. Provide rationale for inclusion of each article. Include the
conclusions and findings of the article. Write your annotated bibliography in a paragraph
form.The annotated bibliography should be approximately 150 words (1–3 paragraphs) in
length. List the full reference for the source in APA format (author, date, title, publisher, et
cetera) and use APA format for the annotated bibliography. Make sure the references are
listed in alphabetical order, are double-spaced, and use hanging indents. 5. Summarize what
you have learned from developing an annotated bibliography. Summarize what you learned
from your research in a separate paragraph or two at the end of the paper. List the main
points you learned from your research. Summarize the main contributions of the sources
you chose and how they enhanced your knowledge about the topic. Example Assessment:

Template paper format. APPLYING RESEARCH SKILLS 2 Applying Research Skills With the
advent of new technologies and treatment methods, health care organizations are facing
many challenges. Patient safety is one such challenge that needs to be addressed not only by
health care professionals but also by other stakeholders in the business.Ensuring patient
safety is essential for providing quality health care. As a medical transcriptionist, I am
responsible for converting voice-recorded reports of health care professionals into text.
Although I am not directly involved in treating patients, any errors that occur during the
transcription process could result in inaccurate documentation of medical data. For
example, one of my colleagues documented the dosage of Lasix as 400 mg instead of 40 mg
in a discharge summary. When the health care professional who had dictated the report
reviewed it, he was able to spot the error in the dosage and correct it, which helped prevent
the patient from having a dangerous reaction to the incorrect dosage. This incident helped
me realize the importance of preparing accurate documents for ensuring patient safety and
delivering quality care. I developed a keen interest in issues relating to patient safety ever
since.Identifying Academic Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles Using Summon, Capella
University Library’s search engine, I accessed databases relating to health care, such as
ProQuest Central and PubMed Central. I used keywords such as health care issues, patient
safety, and quality of care to search for peer-reviewed literature relevant to patient safety.
Using the advanced search option, I limited my search to scholarly and peerreviewed
journals, choosing journal article as the publication type, medicine and nursing as the
subjects, and articles published within the last five years as the publication date range.

Assessing Credibility and Relevance of Information Sources Comment [A3]: Sub-headers are
a helpful resource to use to organize your writing! To ensure credibility, I selected peer-
reviewed journal articles that were published within the past five years. I made sure that
the selected sources were published by authors who were well-known in the field of health
care and had extensive professional experience. Comment [A4]: As you noted, it is best to
select current peer-reviewed academic journal articles to ensure current practices. To
ensure that the chosen sources of information were relevant to the topic, I confirmed that
they contained accepted facts and opinions on issues relating to patient safety and quality
care. NHSFPX 4000 Capella University Eliminating Medical Errors BibliographyI also
checked whether each information source had a clearly defined purpose and contained
pertinent information about patient safety and quality care. Annotated Bibliography

5B900402CPQ/1?acc ountid=27965 In this article, the authors express their concern about
health care professionals, particularly medical laboratory science (MLS) practitioners, being
insufficiently trained to achieve the five core competencies that the Institute of Medicine
(IOM) identified in 2002. The authors discuss ways to incorporate patient safety practices
and concepts in the MLS curricula to ensure that future MLS practitioners are well-versed in
the abovementioned competencies identified by the IOM. The authors conclude that by
focusing on the aims and competencies identified by the IOM, future practitioners will be
better equipped to deal with patient safety concerns while practicing MLS.This article was
chosen because it offers a solution for dealing with patient safety issues and explains how
patient safety concepts can be incorporated in the curricula for courses pertaining to
