(Due Week 5 – 2/12/2017; 20% of final grade)

 

After you have defined your PICOT question and identified your patient care issue, you can begin and the first part of your quality improvement (QI) project. In order to do this you will need to do a literature search to find evidence for your topic. Once you have found the evidence in the literature, construct a table of evidence from studies relevant to your topic that you have found from your literature search. In general, you should limit your literature search to articles and major reviews which have been published during the last five years. There should be a minimum of six articles reviewed and you can include systematic reviews. The columns in the table should include the following:  

  1. Title, journal in which the study was published, year it was published
  2. Type of study (refer to the table on page 62 of this article)
  3. The research question or hypothesis
  4. The study methodology
  5. The level of the evidence (refer to )
  6. Description of the subjects and sample size
  7. Major findings from the study
