In order to identify a practice problem that requires a change plan, you need to first study your practicum site facility, conduct some preliminary research, and assess the strengths and weaknesses of the organization to identify an area of improvement relevant to population health or quality and safety.
Begin by interviewing your preceptor using the interview script. Use the interview to assess the healthcare facility. If the preceptor and facility allow, you may also speak to other nurses and administrators at the facility. You are not limited by the script; if you come up with other questions relevant to the task of assessing the facility, you may use your own judgment to ask additional questions.
It may be helpful to record the interview so that you can analyze the key points or themes. Make sure you ask for permission before recording. If permission is not granted, then take detailed notes and make sure you capture all important details in the interviewees’ responses to the questions.
After analyzing interview and observation data, identify an issue related to population health or quality and safety at your practicum site.
