For your Patient Satisfaction Quality Improvement Project, write a 1,400- to 1,750-word report in which you will:
• Explain the types of information technology systems you used to gather data.
o Explain how the use of nursing informatics applies to your department or unit, and how it relates to your quality improvement initiative.
o Evaluate the influence of information technology on patient care.
 Does it improve patient care?
 How much nursing time does technology take away from patient care?
 Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of barcoding.
• Analyze which systems contribute to the management and maintenance of change for the organization.
• Analyze the Health and Medicine Division recommendations for integrated information systems (e.g., EpicCare, Cerner, ABELMed, FutureNet, or other system).
• Determine other types of applications of technology, other than the electronic medical record system, to implement the quality improvement project.

Purpose: To identify a problem or concern that nursing can change and develop a PICOT question to guide the change project.
Directions: Use the form below to complete the Week 3 Assignment PICOT Evidence Worksheet. This includes filling in the table with information about your research question and your PICOT elements and the second part is filling in the Evidence Worksheet.
Step 1: Select the key PICO terms for searching the evidence. Clearly define your PICOT question. List each element P (problem, population, or problem), I (intervention), C (Comparison with other treatment/current practice), and O (Desired outcome), T (Time Frame). Is the potential solution something for which you (as nurse or student) can find a solution through evidence research? Look in your book for guidelines to developing your PICOT question and also read the required articles.
Step 2: Identify the problem. What have you noticed in your work or school environment that isn’t achieving the desired patient or learning outcomes? What needs to change in nursing, what can you change with the support of evidence in the literature? Describe the problem or practice issue that you want to research. What is your practice area; clinical, education, or administration? (This is NOT where you will list your PICOT question)
Step 3: How was the practice issues identified? How did you come to know this was a problem in your clinical practice? Review the listed concerns and check all that apply.
Step 4: Identifies and documents four sources of evidence. What evidence must be gathered? What sources of reliable information will be helpful for your particular question? Describes rationale for all checked types of evidence
Step 5: What terms will you use in order to make sure that your search is wide enough to obtain required information but narrow enough to keep it focused? How will you narrow your search if needed?
