Polit and Beck (2021) indicate, “The improvement of healthcare services and patient outcomes is a goal shared by all healthcare disciplines” (p. 241). Examine the types of quantitative research and quality improvement by reviewing the chapters of your text, which will provide a foundation of your methodology for your study.

Evaluate the specific types of quantitative research. Which category speaks to your projects PICO question and why? Describe the type of research and outline how the components of your PICO question will be assessed.

Polit & Beck, Chapter 11, pp. 226–240, outlines the following types of quantitative research categories.

1. 1.Clinical Trials
2. 2.Evaluation Research
3. 3.Comparative Effectiveness Research
4. 4.Health Services and Outcomes Research
5. 5.Survey Research
6. 6.Other Types of Research

After reviewing Chapter 12, which discusses Quality Improvement, address the following statements in your post:

1. 1.Outline the differences in a QI project compared to an original research dissertation.
2. 2.Outline if or how your project could integrate QI concepts or other evidence-based practice components.

Quality Improvement Proposal

Identify a quality improvement opportunity in your organization or practice. In a 1,250-1,500 word paper, 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.
