(3 parts) Part 1 and part 2 are both meant to prepare/organize thoughts and research studies that may be used in preparation for part 3, which needs to be 10 pages (excluding title page and reference page).

Part 1 (1 page): To begin the Evidence Based Practice Quality Improvement project, you will select a problem/prepare a nursing research proposal of a relevant problem found in your work environment. (ex. Pressure ulcers). Formulate a one-page topic proposal that should include the problem that you are working on, what are you trying to improve? Why did you select this problem? The goal for the practice improvement project should be to tell the story of your improvement project. This is the first page of your final presentation paper. This assignment should be preparatory work for your practice improvement paper and presentation. This one-page proposal paper will be due no later than 10/19/2020.

Part 2 (3 pages): This part is based on Part 1 and is a 3-page essay answering and expanding upon each letter of the P.I.C.O question in further preparation for Part 3.

The “P” which stands for Problem, should be the same used in Part 1; Part 2 simply expands on what was written in Part 1. This will also be due by 10/19/2020.
