Quality Improvement Proposal

dentify a quality improvement opportunity in your organization or practice, describe the problem or issue
and propose a quality improvement initiative based on evidence-based practice. Apply “The Road to
Evidence-Based Practice” process, illustrated in Chapter 4 of your textbook, to create your proposal.
Include the following:
1. Provide an overview of the problem and the setting in which the problem or issue occurs.
2. Explain why a quality improvement initiative is needed in this area and the expected outcome.
3. Discuss how the results of previous research demonstrate support for the quality improvement initiative
and its projected outcomes. Include a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources published within the last 5
years, not included in the course materials or textbook, that establish evidence in support of the quality
improvement proposed.
4. Discuss steps necessary to implement the quality improvement initiative. Provide evidence and rationale
to support your answer.
5. Explain how the quality improvement initiative will be evaluated to determine whether there was
improvement.
6. Support your explanation by identifying the variables, hypothesis test, and statistical test that you would
need to prove that the quality improvement initiative succeeded.
