Overview
Service changes and new programs are no different than research studies. Outcome measures are a requirement for both to quantify impact and observe the effect. Development of meaningful metrics are needed to evaluate what impact your proposal may have if implemented. In this week, the group should focus on reviewing your supporting evidence from your annotated bibliography feedback and develop evaluation metrics (outcome measures) to be used for the proposal if implemented. Examples of metrics are: Length of Stay, Employee Satisfaction, Competency Compliance, # RRTs, Morbidity, Mortality, cost measures, admission rates, etc.
Meet/communicate to review progress, your literature, activities needed, proposal plan, and submit the updated information using the attached Week 4 Project Management Template.
