Points: 5

Background

Explore the problem as it currently presents in the healthcare setting today:

Importance of this problem explained; particularly why it matters to healthcare at this point in time.

Literature describing the problem and also supporting the need for a solution.

Points: 10

Assessment

Critical assessment of the problem, as it presents in your area (unit/department):

Introduce the unit where problem exists (type of unit, patient population, bed size, etc.)

*Do not mention hospital by name*

How significant is the problem in your area (use unit data/evidence to support the argument)?

What are some potential causes of this problem?

Evaluate how this problem fits into one of the QSEN categories and why there is a critical need for a solution.

Why do masters prepared healthcare professionals need to develop competencies to address this problem?

What specific KSAs of the QSEN competency you chose to apply do masters prepared healthcare professionals need to have in order to effectively address this problem and why?

Points: 15

Statement of Proposal/Solution

Develop a proposed solution for enhancing or improving the selected problem from their practice.

Be sure to be realistic about the solution. Although the literature may support many solutions, it may be necessary to focus on one solution that would be realistic to obtain.

This solution cannot be a solution that has already been implemented on your unit or a completed project. This must be forward thinking.

The proposal should cite current evidence based literature pertinent to the analysis and rationale.

Points: 10

Implementation Plan

Critical Analysis

5 to >4.0 pts

Discussion postings display an excellent understanding of the required readings and underlying concepts including correct use of terminology. Postings integrate an outside resource, or relevant research, or specific real-life application (work experience, prior coursework, etc.) to support important points. Well-edited quotes are cited appropriately. No more than 10% of the posting is a direct quotation.

4 to >3.0 pts

Excellent

Discussion postings display an understanding of the required readings and underlying concepts including correct use of terminology and proper citation.

3 to >0.0 pts

Fair

Discussion postings repeat and summarize basic, correct information, but do not link readings to outside references, relevant research or specific real-life application and do not consider alternative perspectives or connections between ideas. There is an attempt at proper citation, but there are formatting errors.

0 pts

Poor

Discussion postings show little or no evidence that readings were completed or understood. Postings are largely personal opinions or feelings, or “I agree” or “Great idea,” without supporting statements with concepts from the readings, outside resources, relevant research, or specific real-life application. Sources are not cited. Or nothing was posted.

The PCIE unit/department is the neuroscience care unit. The identified target for improvement is delay in lab results.

By this point, you should have identified an area where improvement is needed in the PCIE environment. For instance, maybe you’ve discovered that there were some inpatient geriatric patient falls recently You’ll now need to review the literature to see what you can discover about this topic. Remember, your focus IS NOT on how to fix this problem at this point, but instead just to find out what is happening currently, nation-wide, in regards to the topic.

Perform a search for five nursing research articles related to the target for improvement you’ve identified (contact your Assigned Clinical Faculty if you have not yet discovered two options for the target for improvement). Remember that a nursing research article should meet all of the following criteria:

• In a peer-reviewed nursing journal or written by a nurse and focusing on nursing care regarding the topic
• Discuss a research study that has been performed by the authors (primary research)
• Have been published within the last 5 years (we’ll accept 2020 or more recent)
• We will also accept one current clinical guideline as one of the five required articles

As you perform your literature search, you may need to narrow down the focus of the literature. For example, you may need to find articles that relate to the patient population, such as geriatric patients, or a particular health care environment, such as inpatient.

Once you’ve located such articles, read them, and complete the Review of Literature and Data Form, which is submitted in this module.
