Evidence-Based Practice

  

DEFINING AND REFINING THE PROBLEM

DEFINING AND REFINING THE PROBLEM

You have now spent 3 full weeks working on an identified practice problem. You have spent time with your team and preceptor at your practicum site, and you have begun to evaluate the scope of the problem and need for change. Based on your experiences in these first 4 weeks, what is working? What is not working? What has or has not worked in the past?

For this Discussion, you will consider your identified practice problem to help define and refine the work that you have done thus far. Consider what is working, what is not working, your stakeholders, and what has worked and has not worked in the past. Review the evidence gathered to determine how you might need to refine your identified practice problem.

TO PREPARE

· Review the Learning Resources that address problem identification.

· Analyze the work done thus far on your identified practice problem, specifically analyzing what management has done to date with the problem.

· Review your practice focused question, meetings with your team and preceptor, and your identification of stakeholders.

Post a response discussing your selected practice problem. After meeting with your team, describe the following:

· What is currently working? 

· What has not worked?

· What changes might you implement?

· What changes might you consider in addressing the problem?

· Are these changes supported by evidence?

In your response, share what you have been working on throughout the first 4 weeks of the course, focusing specifically on defining your practice focused question, meeting with your team, and identifying stakeholders. Be specific. What leadership strategies might you use to support the problem you have identified? Explain whether you have refined your practice focused question and why.
