PROPOSAL:
Please complete the following proposal. (To determine the number of words you are using, type in a Word document first and use word count. Then copy/paste into the form below.)
NOTE ABOVE: Be as specific as you can (Example: Less strong: we want to determine if a patient/family education program works - Stronger: Determine if there is an improvement in patient/family satisfaction with discharge education after implementation of a computer based medication education program).
NOTE ABOVE: Describe the current clinical problem that you propose to change. Who is the target audience? (e.g. what group of patients/family/staff will be the focus of the project). Describe how this study/project will benefit cancer or auto-immune disease patients and/or family, in keeping with DAISY Foundation’s stated goal, and how this project addresses the priorities of the J Patrick Barnes Grant program. Cite and summarize evidence (e.g., patient focused data, Quality Improvement/Patient Satisfaction, published research) to support need for a change and also cite evidence to support the initiative you are proposing. Upload a list of references as an appendix to the application.
NOTE ABOVE: List step by step how the change will be implemented and how you will evaluate the outcomes of the change. This description should be detailed enough that another hospital could independently replicate your project.
NOTE ABOVE: Describe in detail how you will evaluate the outcomes of your initiative. Be as specific as possible on what your outcome measures are (e.g, pre-to-post change in satisfaction score on Item 24 on Press-Ganey survey will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention). Outcomes can include process outcomes (e.g., how you evaluated that the nurses were actually performing the change in practice) and endpoints (e.g., pre-post evaluation of patient/family satisfaction).
