ISBN: 0826191150 ) for examples of project purpose and aims. Remember that your purpose is what you overall want to accomplish (a goal)- like lower readmission rates, implement and evaluate a new clinical pathway, etc. Think of it as your overall goal. This may use terms in your PICO or from your evidence search.
Remember that Aims (or objectives) need to be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound). Have one aim for each outcome you will be measuring (e.g.: knowledge, satisfaction, depression, etc).Grading Criteria/Rubric:
