Homework: Project
The milestone homework in this course are intended to help you prepare for the project PowerPoint (PPT) presentation. In Milestone One, you will identify a healthcare quality issue that provides an opportunity for a quality improvement initiative. You will then use evidence-based sources to support the proposed initiative and its development. Your instructor will provide feedback for each milestone. You should incorporate this feedback into the project PPT presentation.
In Milestone, as in the project, you will use your current healthcare organization, a previous healthcare employer, or a healthcare organization that you want to work for in the future.
Prompt: The Healthcare Organization you can use is "Lifespan," based in Rhode Island
