Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome and Time) question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process. Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.
The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.
In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.
Step 1: Create PICOT question; A PICOT question is presented and provides a clear framework for the capstone project change proposal. Your PICOT question should clearly outline all of these elements: patient, intervention, comparison, outcome and time.
Step 2: PICOT Problem: Identify the PICOT problem, what clinical problems or issues may arise from clinical care? The PICOT problem as it relates to evidence-based solution, nursing intervention, patent care, health care agency, and nursing practice is thoroughly described.
Step 3: Describe nursing intervention: A nursing intervention used to address the problem. Compare the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and timeframe needed to implement the change process.
Step 4: Summarize Clinical Problem and Patient Outcome: The clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
SOLUTION
PICOT Question:
Population: Elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Intervention: Implementation of a nurse-led pulmonary rehabilitation program
Comparison: Usual care without nurse-led pulmonary rehabilitation program
Outcome: Improved quality of life, reduced hospital readmission rates, and increased physical function
Time: Within six months of implementation
In elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, does the implementation of a nurse-led pulmonary rehabilitation program, compared to usual care without the program, lead to improved quality of life, reduced hospital readmission rates, and increased physical function within six months of implementation?
