DNP-801A-RS3-Selecting Practice Problem (1)
Selecting a Practice Problem
Use the steps on this worksheet to outline the details for the patient practice problem at your practice site that you are proposing for your future DPI Project. Use the “PICOT-D Selection Guidelines,” located in the DC Network, to evaluate your proposed patient practice problem. If it does not meet these criteria, you must select a different topic.
- Complete the licensure information. Your practice problem and intervention must fall within the scope your licensure.
Licensure | APRN RN
Is this practice change within the scope of your nursing practice? YES No
By submitting this form, I am attesting I have read my state’s Nurse Practice Act and the project is within the scope of my practice. |
- Describe the type and focus of your proposed project site (e.g., Adult medical surgical unit in rural Nebraska; pediatric primary care clinic in urban Illinois).
- Describe a patient practice problem occurring at your proposed project site that you would like to address for your DPI Project. Explain why this is a patient problem. Provide data that support the patient problem (e.g., heart failure readmission rates 21%). If you have not asked for these data yet, how would you go about obtaining the data needed?
- Describe the evidence-based intervention proposed for addressing the patient practice problem at your site and how the proposed intervention is different from what is currently in place for the practice problem (intervention must be a new change, not something already in place or “noncompliance” from staff). Explain why the intervention is realistic and feasible for your practice site.
- Describe the team that will be implementing your DPI intervention. (Remember, as the project manager, you may not have any interaction with the patients. You are 100% hands-off and require nurses, advanced practice nurses, physicians, or other interdisciplinary team members to participate in the implementation of the project.)
- Discuss the expected measurable patient outcome based on implementing the intervention and explain how the new proposed process/intervention will improve the measurable patient outcome. Include, where you will get your descriptive demographic data on your patient sample population and where will you get your measurable patient outcome data (e.g., electronic health record, quality department, evidence-based survey/measurement tool that is valid and reliable).
- The timeframe for all DPI Projects is 8 weeks. Explain how your DPI Project can be implemented within that timeframe.
- Search for two original (primary quantitative) research articles that support your proposed intervention. Refer to the “Levels of Evidence in Research” chart, located in Class Resources, as needed for assistance in your search. If your intervention is a clinical practice guideline, or is coming from a clinical practice guideline, include the relevant original (primary quantitative) research that supports your intervention. In addition, include the clinical practice guideline as one of your references.
- Using APA format, list your primary quantitative research below. Include working links for each article. Ensure each link works as your instructor will use these links to access your articles.
