problem statement

Explain an overview of one or more interventions that would help drive quality improvement related to an identified need within a target population and setting.

Your result: Basic

Distinguished

Explains an overview of one or more interventions that would help drive quality improvement related to an identified need within a target population and setting, impartially acknowledging weaknesses in each intervention.

Proficient

Explains an overview of one or more interventions that would help drive quality improvement related to an identified need within a target population and setting.

Basic

Provides an overview of one or more interventions that would help drive quality improvement related to an identified need within a target population and setting, but fails to explain how the interventions fit the target population, setting, and the identified need.

Non-Performance

Does not provide an overview of one or more interventions that would help drive quality improvement related to an identified need within a target population and setting.

Faculty Comments:

You will need to be very specific - "come up with solutions" is not specific. You need to have those outlined. What challenges, obstacles, objections to this intervention can you identify and how would you address those issues?

COMPETENCY 2

Evaluate the best available evidence for use in clinical and organizational decision making.

CRITERION

Analyze a health promotion, quality improvement, prevention, education, or management need.

Your result: Basic

Distinguished

Analyzes a health promotion, quality improvement, prevention, education, or management need, and identifies assumptions on which the analysis is based.

Proficient

Analyzes a health promotion, quality improvement, prevention, education, or management need.

Basic

Describes a health promotion, quality improvement, prevention, education, or management issue, but fails to analyze the need, its importance, or key pieces of evidence to support its urgency.

Non-Performance

Does not describe a health promotion, quality improvement, prevention, education, or management need.

Faculty Comments:

Good overview for home-based healthcare for diabetes, though you need to be very clear - you should already have identified a need and what you plan to do about the issue.

CRITERION

Analyze current evidence to validate an identified need and its appropriateness within the target population and setting.

Your result: Distinguished

Distinguished

Analyzes current evidence to validate an identified need and its appropriateness within the target population and setting, and evaluates the relevance, currency, sufficiency, and trustworthiness of the evidence.

Proficient

Analyzes current evidence to validate an identified need and its appropriateness within the target population and setting.

Basic

Attempts to present adequate current evidence, but the sources do not persuasively validate the need or its appropriateness within the target population or setting.

Non-Performance

Does not present adequate current evidence to validate an identified need and its appropriateness within the target population and setting.

Faculty Comments:

Analyzes current evidence to validate an identified need and its appropriateness within the target population and setting, and evaluates the relevance, currency, sufficiency, and trustworthiness of the evidence.

COMPETENCY 3

Apply quality improvement methods to impact patient, population, and systems outcomes.

CRITERION

Describe a quality improvement method that could impact a patient, population, or systems outcome.

Your result: Basic

Distinguished

Describes a quality improvement method that could impact a patient, population, or systems outcome, and identifies potential challenges of working on the identified need with the target population and setting.

Proficient

Describes a quality improvement method that could impact a patient, population, or systems outcome.

Basic

States a quality improvement method, but fails to describe why it could impact a patient, population, or systems outcome.

Non-Performance

Does not describe a quality improvement method that could impact a patient, population, or systems outcome.

Faculty Comments:

You have a good start here on the quality improvement method that could impact a patient, population, or systems outcome, and identifies potential challenges of working on the identified need with the target population and setting. You do need to rephrase your PICOT question as you can't measure "a far better life"....so be more specific - perhaps improves their self-care and management and adherence to treatment plan?

COMPETENCY 4

Design patient- and population-centered care to improve health outcomes.

CRITERION

Propose a rough time frame for the development and implementation of an intervention to address an identified need.

Your result: Non-Performance

Distinguished

Proposes a rough time frame for the development and implementation of an intervention to address an identified need, and identifies areas of uncertainty or knowledge gaps that could affect the time frame.

Proficient

Proposes a rough time frame for the development and implementation of an intervention to address an identified need.

Basic

Attempts to propose a rough time frame for the development and implementation of an intervention to address an identified need, but the proposed time frame is not realistic or does not consider challenges for development or implementation.

Non-Performance

Does not propose a rough time frame for the development and implementation of an intervention to address an identified need.

Faculty Comments:

I don't see your timeline discussion.

COMPETENCY 5

Integrate interprofessional care to improve safety and quality and to decrease cost of care.

CRITERION

Analyze potential interprofessional alternatives to an initial intervention with regard to their possibilities to meet the needs of the project, population, and setting.

Your result: Non-Performance

Distinguished

Analyzes potential interprofessional alternatives to an initial intervention with regard to their possibilities to meet the needs of the project, population, and setting, impartially acknowledging weaknesses in each alternative.

Proficient

Analyzes potential interprofessional alternatives to an initial intervention with regard to their possibilities to meet the needs of the project, population, and setting.

Basic

Presents potential interprofessional alternatives to an initial intervention, but fails to comparatively analyze their potentials related to interprofessional care opportunities or the needs of the project, population, or setting.

Non-Performance

Does not present potential alternatives to an initial intervention overview.

Faculty Comments:

What are the potential interprofessional alternatives to an initial intervention with regard to their possibilities to meet the needs of the project, population, and setting?
