PROBLEM STATEMENT
1. Define the actual problem (do not include a solution statement).
2. Define the current practice as it relates to the problem
3. State the focus of the problem: A clinical problem (e.g. preventing blood stream infections); an educational problem (e.g., discharge teaching for patients); policy problem (e.g. full practice authority); or an administrative problem (e.g. safety of 12-hour nursing shifts).
4. Explain how the problem was identified (needs assessment, objective data, measured outcomes) of safety/risk management, quality (efficiency, effectiveness, timeliness, equity, patient-centeredness), unsatisfactory patient, staff, or organizational outcomes, variations in practice within the setting, variations in practice compared with external organizations, evidence validation for current practice, financial, and/or human resources.
5. Discuss the parameters of the problem: An individual (e.g. clinician, patient, family member); a population (e.g., adult cardiac patients, recovery room nurses); or an institution/system (e.g., patient transportation, patient or staff satisfaction).
