A health care system is an entire organization of people, resources, and institutions that deliver health services to meet the needs of a target population. Some aspects of planning can involve the market participants such as insurance companies, drug manufacturers, and hospitals.
Quality of patient care and outcome is the collection and analysis of patient data over time to help in visualizing the areas where patients are getting the best attention and any area that requires improvement.
Organizational systems or structures in nursing are clear institutional policies and rules outlining a hierarchy within the healthcare organization. It defines the jobs for every nurse and the way it fits within the system.
When you need to do any nursing research, it is essential to first decide on whether to use a quantitative method, qualitative method or mixed approach. Most of the studies in the medical field are quantitative.
Qualitative research is a method of gathering no numerical data. It focuses on the qualities of an entity or process and meanings that you cannot examine or measure terms of quantity, intensity, frequency or amount. For example, you can conduct a qualitative nursing research on job satisfaction among nurses and conclude that a certain percentage of the respondent are satisfied with their work. However, it is still impossible to determine a standard and an accurate scale of measuring the precise level of job satisfaction.
