Advanced Levels Of Clinical Inquiry And Systematic Reviews

Your quest to purchase a new car begins with an identification of the factors important to you. As you conduct a search of cars that rate high on those factors, you collect evidence and try to understand the extent of that evidence. A report that suggests a certain make and model of automobile has high mileage is encouraging. But who produced that report? How valid is it? How was the data collected, and what was the sample size? 

In this Assignment, you will delve deeper into clinical inquiry by closely examining your PICO(T) question. You also begin to analyze the evidence you have collected. 

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
  • Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest for the Assignment.
  • Use the key words from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which includes meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), critically-appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available.
  • Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research.

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 3: Advanced Levels of Clinical Inquiry and Systematic Reviews

Create a 6- to 7-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

  • Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.
  • Describe how you developed a PICO(T) question focused on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
  • Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
  • Provide APA citations of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected.
  • Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research. Be specific and provide examples.

1. A 61-year-old female patient is seen for a complaint of

severe heartburn, lightheadedness, skin reddening, and

HCPCS: ______________________________________

Review the following medical coding scenario. Assign all of

the ICD-10 and CPT codes for the diagnoses and procedures

indicated in the scenario.

After being evaluated by his gastroenterologist, Mr. Jackson

was sent to the hospital for a diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy.

He is having several symptoms that indicate a

potential gastrointestinal condition. As a result, he was admitted

in observation. His symptoms include vomiting, weight

loss, and dysphagia. The esophagogastroduodenoscopy reveals

that the patient has low-grade Barrett’s esophagus, GERD

with reflux esophagitis and a non-obstructing hiatal hernia.

Patient was also incidentally diagnosed with Crest Syndrome

(CRST), which correlates with his complaint of dysphagia.

After the procedure, the patient was noted to have several

PVC’s on his EKG. These resolved shortly after the patient

arrived in the recovery room. Based on the results of the

detailed history, detailed, exam, and straight forward medical

decision making, it was decided that the patient could be discharged

home on the same day with instructions for a follow

up office appointment in 2 days. Code this scenario.
