Howard Larkin states that in healthcare, the CXO is responsible for making sure every aspect of a complex delivery system consistently meets basic patient and human needs and what it calls operationalizing the patient experience mission..
Action research is not about hypothesis testing and producing empirically generalizable results; however, it is consistent with the definition of the scholarship of teaching and learning defined as âsystematic reflection on teaching and learning made publicâ (Illinois State University, www.sotl.ilsta.edu).
Qualitative Research. Qualitative research gathers information that is not in numerical form. For example, diary accounts, open-ended questionnaires, unstructured interviews and unstructured observations. Qualitative data is typically descriptive data and as such is harder to analyze than quantitative data.Qualitative research is useful for studies at the individual level, and to find out, in depth, the ways in which people think or feel (e.g. case studies).t is therefore more honest that researchers' attitudes and values should be acknowledged, and form part of the context of research. A good example of a qualitative research method would be unstructured and group interviews which generate qualitative data through the use of open questions.
