5 Excellent 100.00% Proposed solution is presented in detail, consistent with current evidence and is heavily supported by evidence. The ways in which the proposed solution is consistent with the organization or community culture and resources is explained, and details and examples are provided. Warranted conclusions are drawn. The expected outcomes are explained in-depth. A detailed outline of how the outcomes will be achieved is developed and describes the impact the outcomes will have on one or all of the following indicators (as appropriate): quality care improvement, patient-centered quality care, efficiency of processes, environmental changes, and/or professional expertise. Clarity and specificity of comprehension are demonstrated, and all relevant information is synthesized. Coverage extends beyond what is needed to support subject matter. Writer is clearly in command of standard, written, academic English.

4 Good 92.00% Proposed solution is presented consistent with current evidence and briefly addresses the way(s) in which the proposed solution is consistent with the organization or community culture and resources, limited details, and examples. Appropriate conclusions are drawn. The expected outcomes are minimally explained. An outline of how the outcomes will be achieved is developed and broadly describes the impact the outcomes will have. Integrative and accurate comprehension is demonstrated and information is applied as appropriate. There is comprehensive coverage of subject matter. Prose is largely free of mechanical errors, although a few may be present. A variety of sentence structures and effective figures of speech are used.

3 Satisfactory 88.00% Proposed solution is presented but needs to be connected to research. Proposed solution alignment with the organization or community culture and resources, is briefly mentioned. Expected outcomes are listed. A basic outline of how the outcomes will be achieved is developed. The impact the outcomes will have is broadly described. Comprehension of the material is exhibited and there is clearly an attempt to integrate and apply information. All subject matter is covered in minimal quantity and quality. Some mechanical errors or typos are present, but are not overly distracting to the reader. Correct sentence structure and audience-appropriate language are used.

2 Less than Satisfactory 80.00% Proposed solution is presented but does not include all components. Alignment is difficult to discern with the organization or community culture and resources. Expected outcomes are ambiguous. Basic outline of how the outcomes will be achieved is missing essential data. The impact the outcomes will have may or may not be presented with any type of detail. A lack of comprehension is displayed, but there is an attempt to apply information. There is weak, marginal coverage of subject matter with large gaps in presentation. Frequent and repetitive mechanical errors distract the reader. Inconsistencies in language choice (register), sentence structure, and/or word choice are present.

1 Unsatisfactory 0.00% 100.0 %Solution Description 100.0 %Describe the proposed solution (or intervention). Explain the way(s) in which the proposed solution is consistent with the organization or community culture and resources. Explain the expected outcomes of the project. Develop an outline of how the outcomes will be achieved. List any specific barriers that will need to be assessed and eliminated. Describe the impact the outcomes will have. Proposed solution does not align with or is not supported with research. Alignment is difficult to discern with the organization or community culture and resources. Expected outcomes are ambiguous or missing. Basic outline of how the outcomes will be achieved is missing essential data or incomplete. The impact the outcomes will have is not presented with any type of detail. Subject matter is absent, inappropriate, and/or irrelevant. Surface errors are pervasive enough that they impede communication of meaning. Inappropriate word choice and/or sentence construction are used.
