NOTE: This was the assignment associated to the assignment in question (which needs to be completed). This is the assignment (topic) chosen. (BELOW) • Present how strategic planning, performance improvement, and information systems are interrelated and fundamental to the delivery of quality health care. Introduction Here in this report we are going to discuss about research design methods and techniques that are commonly used in various fields of business, science and education. Several literature reviews are available about these research methods. The purpose of this report is to provide effective views of all literatures and their research on these essential topics. Following bibliography will provide peer-reviewed articles of various researchers. Annotated Bibliography Shuttleworth, M, (2008). Quantitative Research Design - Proving Cause and Effect. Explorable.com. Through this article author has described about quantitative research design. According to Shuttleworth, quantitative research design is a standard experimental method of most scientific disciplines. This research design approach is used by physical scientist, social science, education and economics. The purpose of this research article is to describe the quantitative research design in appropriate way and it also describes its advantages and disadvantages. Through this article author has tried to provide appropriate information and importance of quantitative research design methods to perform various activities. This article is an experimental approach which provides successful statistics confirmation of results. Hopkins(2000), Department of Physiology and School of Physical Education, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 9001. Hopkins has also provided its review over quantitative research method. In this article author has described an essential thing is to determine the relationship between one thing that is independent variable and another that is a dependent variable. This article also describe that quantitative research method is an effective way to estimate accurate relationship between variables and experiment establishes causality. Various types of research designs are also described here in this article. This article describes briefly experimental studies, descriptive studies and other essential factors. This article can be used for doing further experiments. Richard S. Baskas (2011), Applying Knowledge of Quantitative Design and Analysis, Walden University. Research designs are useful enough to perform various experiments and to perform various scientific, research and business activities. All articles that are related to quantitative research design are considered as experimental. Through this article researchers have described that this is an effective method of data collection. This article describes about measurements and instrumentation process, validity and reliability processes and ethical processes about quantitative research designs. This article also describes some essential survey reports that are developed by using CSI questionnaires and by other statistical information that is collected from available historical data. Hetrick, S. E., Simmons, M., Thompson, A., Parker, A. G. (2011). What are specialist mental health clinician attitudes to guideline recommendations for the treatment of depression in young people? Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 45, 993-1001. Author has described the guidelines that are necessary for recommendations for the treatment of depression in young people. This qualitative research has adopted a social perspective using focus group. The problem of depression has become common in young people and the purpose of this article is to find out potential barriers that are observed by clinicians. Besides this, through this article author has also tried to find key implementations to resolve these barriers from NICE guidelines. This article is to develop the evidence base to ensure that effective treatments for young people aged up to 25 years. Through this article author has tried to contribute in the field of health care services. This information can provide help to do further research in this field of health care by using these recommendations. This article represents qualitative approach and this non-experimental research design category. In field of health care these types of articles and general reviews are beneficial enough. Through this article author has described brief but proficient information about these research techniques and designs. Michael Berkwits, Thomas S Inui (1998). Making Use of Qualitative Research Techniques Through this article authors has described qualitative research techniques that is an effective, useful and reliable type of research design. In this article, author has discussed about some scenarios those describe that how effectively qualitative approach can be used for performing various business related activities. In qualitative research techniques to collect information qualitative observations and interviews are implemented. Author has described various administrative changes by using qualitative techniques. While reading this article we have also found some essential examples regarding qualitative techniques. Yu-Chuan (Jack) Li. Qualitative research and the profound grasp of the obvious. Special Supplement on Qualitative Methods in Health Services Research, December 1999, Part II. Health Serv Res 1999; 34: 1119–1136. Qualitative research method has diverse application areas where qualitative research method can be effectively used. This article has proficiently described use of qualitative methods in various application areas such as in measurement development, for assessing reports and cognitive interviewing. This article consists of unique information about the use of qualitative research methods. Through this article we also able to know about some key factors that are use of qualitative methods. The purpose of this article is to provide advance information regarding qualitative research and its various methods. Harrie Jansen (2010), The Logic of Qualitative Survey Research and its Position in the Field of Social Research Methods. Harrie Jansen has presented other view of qualitative survey research that is a logical view in social research method. In this article author has emphasized on the diversity in a population. According to author the study of diversity or social research methodology is almost non-existence. That is why; this article is basically emphasized on this particular topic. This is an easy to use and understanding article which provides lots of essential information about inductive and deductive qualitative surveys. To get better information about surveys of qualitative nature, this article can be used. This article in itself contains an appropriate structure to represent information regarding qualitative research and its various techniques. Logic of qualitative survey research and its position is not common concept among people. But through this article it will become easy enough to collect information on this topic. Research Methods in Physical Activity, Sixth Edition, by Jerry R. Thomas, EdD, Jack K. Nelson, EdD, and Stephen J. Silverman, EdD. Every author has its own opinion about the qualitative research methods and other research methods. It will be good enough to discuss about these articles because every article is able to provide unique information. Research design techniques and its methods are very diverse and it is not easy to collect information easily from these articles. This article is also about qualitative research method and it describes various data-gathering methods, observation and focus groups. Qualitative research methods or techniques are popular among people due to its easiness. Actually these methods are also easy to understand as compare quantitative research techniques that contains various statistical methods and techniques. Conclusion Above discussed each article describes the thoughts, research and reviews of authors and literatures. While reading these articles we able to know that how much this field of research design is wide and amazing. Research design techniques are not only used for experiments but also business organizations, educational institutions also use these techniques for doing further experiments. Above discussed each article is effective enough and able to provide unique facts and figures about qualitative and quantitative research designs. Qualitative and quantitative research design methods can provide better outcomes if these would be used by developers or users appropriately.
