CHANGE PROJECT

“This is part 1 of the CHANGE PROJECT, which means that several “orders” will follow, so I need someone who will start on this order who is an excellent writer and will be identified through the write ID. Then, if I know the writer, I can request for him/her to follow the next orders.'”

THE STUDY WILL BE DONE IN A COUNTY/COMMUNITY OUTPATIENT GENERAL/FAMILY MEDICINE CLINIC

Part 1: Problem Identification and Description

i. FULL PAGE 1: Identify and describe the problem in clear and concise language. To help you think about what problem you might choose, keep in mind the health or nursing problems of the patient population(s) you currently serve, those you encountered in your clinical courses, or those you plan to work with in the future.

 Describe the clinical setting. – This is a county outpatient clinic

 Describe the service area for the clinic and population groups who attend the clinic services. – this is county clinic and serves the community (mostly the less fortunate ones who cant afford a high spending health insurance, they are mainly Medicare/Medicaid)

 What kinds of problems do you see in the clinic? – all cases under general/family practice

ii. FULL PAGE 2: Give a clear, explicit statement of the problem and target population, as well as the background of the specific problem relative to the clinical setting.

 Is it broad enough that you can analyze it from many theoretical and conceptual points of view and make suitable plans to address the problem from a number of perspectives?

 Is it of enough interest to you that you are willing to spend most of the semester thinking about it, assessing all its dimensions, planning in detail how to address it, and designing a detailed intervention and evaluation plan?

iii. FULL PAGE 3: Describe the significance of the evidence-based project that could be implemented in the selected setting to the nursing profession. Ask yourself why it is important to you. Consider your own clinical interest.

 Describe clinical observations that point out the knowledge gap, clinical gap, etc.

 Describe the significant research in the area that has been done that delineates the gap in our knowledge.
