In this assignment, you are going to formulate a Problem Statement, a draft AIM Statement derived from the Problem Statement and select a framework to utilize as a guide for designing a scholarly project.
Examine your current practice setting, or reflect on observations from a prior practice setting, and identify a practice problem. Examples of problems could the absence of an evidence-based approach to care, a procedure that is not aligned with current best practices, practice approaches not aligned with current practice guidelines, or the inability for current practice approaches to achieve required performance metrics.
For the assignment you are going to use the problem you identified and draft an approach for a proposed change.
The assignment format is that of an academic paper constructed utilizing APA guidelines, including a title page, appropriate use of headings to separate the main sections of the body of the paper, proper in-text citations, and a references page.
The paper should be formatted with the belong template that includes:
· A description of the practice setting where you identified the problem. [your current or a prior practice setting]
· A description of the population in the practice setting where you identified the problem. [your current or a prior practice setting]
· A description of the problem along with the information, observations, or data that prompted the identification of the problem.
· A succinct problem statement utilizing the linked document as a guide.
· An ‘Aim Statement’ relevant to the identified problem. Utilize
IHI’s Aim Statement worksheet.Links to an external site.
to guide your development of the statement.
· A description of a framework to address the problem accompanied by a discussion of how the framework correlates to elements of the problem or activities/actions that will be undertaken to address the problem. The framework could be a relevant theory, a conceptual model, an in depth framing of the concept from the literature, etc.
