Discussion Question
1. Provide a brief narrative introduction to your project topic or idea that covers the following points:
a. The problem –Catheter Associated Urinary Track Infection (CAUTI)
b. How the problem was identified—through chart review using REDCap survey.
c. The proposed solution (innovative teaching strategy)—xxxxxxxxxxx
d. The potential benefits to the organization that the proposed change will bring about—xxxxxxxxxx
2. Post an initial draft of your five PICOT elements (see below for further requirements) and your PICOT question using the standard PICOT format. xxxxxxxxxxx
After posting a short narrative introduction to your proposed quality improvement idea, you will list an initial draft of each of your five PICOT elements: 
· P: Identify/define the population  
oThis can be the population (learners) that is being asked to change a practice.
oThis may be a population (learners) that is the focus of the change. 
oDo not use this element to state the problem. 
· I: Intervention – This is the innovative educational intervention/teaching strategy you propose to address the problem and is intended to produce an improved outcome. 
· C: Comparison – What is the current practice that is not producing the desired outcome? This could be “…†compared to no intervention…â€
· O: Outcome – This is an objective measure that will be used to evaluate the effect of your intervention. There must be objective and measurable metrics as part of this statement. 
· T: Time – How long will it take to have enough time and enough data to determine if your intervention produced the desired results? You should not exceed 8 weeks, as you will be implementing this quality improvement project in either NR621 or NR622.
For example, let’ say that you are in a pharmacology didactic course for your practicum site and your mentor states that students are exhibiting low test scores. The class is currently being taught primarily by lecture. You and your mentor decide to implement a flipped classroom to see if the students understand the concepts better. Your PICOT question could look like this:
In first year nursing students enrolled in a pharmacology course (P), will a flipped classroom (I) as compared to no intervention (C) improve students’ knowledge related to the identified concepts (O) in eight (8) weeks (T)?
