Assignment: Quality Improvement

Question Description

This is part one of a two-part assignment. The second part of this assignment will be completed in either NURS 495 or NURS 485.

Part 1 will consist of a literature review based on the findings that address possible interventions for your identified clinical question based on the PICOT question you developed and the evidence you obtained from the literature.

You will continue to develop your Quality Improvement (QI) Plan in Part 2 (which will be completed in NURS 495 or NURS 485). You will use the research you conducted in this class to develop an implementation and evaluation plan for your identified patient care need in the second part of the paper. This will include identifying a timeline, stakeholders, implementation and feedback responsibilities, identifying needed resources, outlining budgetary requirements, and developing an evaluation plan. More information on developing your plan will be provided in NURS 495 or NURS 485, but it would be beneficial to keep the requirements for the second part of the paper in mind when selecting a topic to research.

Please keep a copy of your paper with your instructor’s comments after the semester is over. This project will be continued in NURS 495 or NURS 485. This paper will be submitted in conjunction with Part 2 of your QI project in NURS 495 or NURS 485.

Part 1 should be 7-10 pages long (not including cover page and references). The following rubric will be used to grade it:

You should proofread your paper. However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result. Papers with a high number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized. Before submitting your paper, go over it in silence and then aloud, and make any necessary changes. It is often beneficial to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Uncorrected mistakes are preferable to handwritten corrections.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point typeface (10 to 12 characters per inch). Smaller or compressed type, as well as papers with narrow margins or single spacing, are difficult to read. It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages rather than attempting to compress it into fewer pages.

Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are also unacceptable, waste trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced, and have a one-inch margin on all four sides of each page. When submitting hard copies, use white paper and print with dark ink. It will be difficult to follow your argument if it is difficult to read your essay.
