Module 1 Discussion: Outcome Assessment

1. Read the article titled Measuring and Recording Outcome by P.J. Murphy listed in module 1. Consider your potential DNP project topic. It may be as global as infection control, patient satisfaction, quality improvement, or as specific as reducing postoperative pain using a new non-opioid drug. Reflect on the main concepts of the article and draw conclusions on what you could use as outcomes to measure and assess for your project. If you cannot measure it, you cannot assess it, therefore, you cannot know if it worked or if it was effective.

My Project is a quality improvement project to increase awareness among primary care providers on Prediabetes screening, diagnosing and treatment in African American female aged 30-60 in primary care.

2. Consider the primary aspects related to ideal outcome measures and select an outcome that could be developed for your project.

3. Contemplate your project and apply these concepts in a 1-2 paragraph post.
