NEED HELP: NP Survey

Published

Hi Friends,

I am working on a capstone project which will include the information gathered from a VERY short (2-3 minute) ten question survey. The intent is to reflect on the use of Point-Of-Care tools used by clinical care providers (MD, DO, and NP). If you are an NP or NP Student and would give just a couple minutes of your valuable time to answer these questions, I would GREATLY appreciate the feedback. My goal is to have at least a hundred replies before starting analysis. My email is included in the survey if you

. This survey is for information gathering purposes relating to the use and preferences of Point-of-care resources by clinicians in providing primary care. Please feel free to pass along the link to this survey to your colleagues who also practice primary care as an MD, DO, or NP; to primarily adult patients. Though information will be gathered for possible future use in a broader study, at this time only those who provide primary care to adults will be included in this study. By answering "yes" options to below, you give this study permission to use answers you provided in an ongoing endeavor to help determine what resources are most commonly used and why. The project design may include and analyze all information provided, but anonymity will be provided by assigning random identifiers and no personal information will be included or collected. Thank you for taking the time to add to information related to POC tools and resources used daily by providers in providing quality care to adult patients in primary care settings. If you are interested in results of this study, please feel free to send email to [email protected] for later dissemination of findings.

Participation Consent: Please answer one of the following Yes, I provide primary care to mostly adult patients in a primary care setting, and give permission to use my answers anonymously in a this research project.

Yes, I give permission for my information to be included; but provide care primarily in sub-specialties of pediatrics, surgery, or exclusively treat problems relating to my specialty.

No, I do not give permission to use my answers in this study.
