Evidence-Based Project Proposal

Project Purpose Statement

Having high blood pressure is a disorder that affects many people worldwide. Clinical strategies or recommendations for addressing this disease should be implemented. Homeless people have greater exposure and illness severity risks than those who aren't. Clinical protocols for controlling high blood pressure among the homeless are lacking in the current study. Consequently, the findings of this research will provide light on the many approaches that may be used to solve the problem for the targeted demographic.

Background And Significance

There is a need for special instructions on treating hypertension in homeless persons because of the many obstacles they experience. Since the circumstances of homelessness place a great deal of strain on medical professionals, a well-defined clinical procedure is required in order to accurately diagnose and treat the condition (Baggett et al., 2018). In order to deal with this group of people, efficient clinical practices are required. Consequently, it is necessary to study and use therapies specific to this set of people's lifestyles and living situations in order to treat the illness effectively.

Innovation in this proposed initiative is that it would allow homeless persons who are hypertensive and face particular problems in society to get a more thorough diagnostic that takes time and takes into account their unique cases (Association, 2020). All people with this illness, for example, must rest before having their blood pressure tested. This study is being launched to improve the diagnosis and treatment of homeless individuals with hypertension. Because the diagnosis will be right, the subsequent actions will likewise be proper and address the patient's specific issues (Baggett et al., 2018).

PICOT Question

"In Homeless People (Population), how effective are clinical practice protocols (Intervention) compared to using general protocols (Comparison) for the management of hypertension (Outcome) during the diagnosis and treatment period (Time)?"
