What a finished product looks like

This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.

Annotated research notes packet
Completes: A complete packet linking each source to a research question, with a needs-assessment summary that synthesizes the evidence and names one remaining evidence gap.

Annotated ER research notes packet

  • Research questions linked to sources: Q1 (typical turnover time) is answered by Source 1; Q3 (infection-control standards) is answered by Source 3; Q2 (staffing models) is partly answered by Source 1 and the vendor brochure.
  • Needs-assessment summary: The evidence shows that treatment-room turnover, not room count, is the limiting step in ERs like ours, and that a dedicated turnover role or protocol can cut downtime substantially while still meeting infection-control standards. My design should therefore focus on a fast, standards-compliant turnover process rather than on adding rooms.
  • Evidence gap I still have: I do not yet have data on how turnover staffing affects nurse workload, so I cannot fully predict the staffing cost. Naming this gap shows where my next research has to go.

Also due today: Submit the annotated ER research notes to the Schoology weekly summative assignment.
