This course provides the methodological basis for translational research by multidisciplinary leaders in a variety of health care settings. Translational research involves locating, evaluating, refining, synthesizing, channeling, applying, and explaining appropriate findings from laboratory and experimental settings to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of nursing care in many different settings. Translational research uses applied techniques directed at building and maintaining excellence in practice. In this course students will use applied techniques with ethics and protection of human subjects emphasized. Critique of the reliability, validity, and relevance of research designs and findings will be emphasized along with logical analysis of experimental and quasi-experimental designs including their stated, implied, and/or neglected independent, dependent, antecedent, suppressing, and constraining variables.

This course focuses on global, national, regional and local health issues and the policies that stem from those issues across the lifespan with all populations. Health surveillance measures and determinants of health are used to characterize geographical locations and population groups. Students use an evidence-based approach to develop effective health promotion and disease/accident prevention strategies. Bioethical issues related to the distribution of resources and health disparities together with appropriate health education strategies (cultural adaptations and health literacy), and access to care are explored.

The course provides a theoretical foundation to advancing leadership in the transformation of healthcare organization, healthcare systems and community-based care. The view of the current health care delivery system is broadened by an analysis of the forces that have shaped the system, including scientific discoveries, technological advances, genetics, social justice issues, and the development of health professions and institutions. Nursing knowledge is influenced by these multiple factors; thus, the course provides students with tools to lead others in meeting the many challenges the health care system brings. Collaboration, relationship building, credibility and modeling are integrated into practice modeling. Innovation and creative change models are analyzed as they relate to leadership competency and leadership skill sets. Emotional intelligence competencies relative to transformation leadership provide a model for analyzing leadership, change, and strategic planning within organizations and population/systems of care delivery. Changes in the roles of health care providers and consumers are assessed from economic, social, organizational, political, ethical, legal, and technological perspectives.
