HA3110D – Quality Improvement and Risk Management
LP03.2 ASSIGNMENT: Self-Improvement Project
We have been studying the basics of measurement and evaluation techniques. In this course, you have the opportunity to apply what you learn about these topics to a self-improvement project. You will complete this project in multiple parts over the next seven weeks.
You will research your chosen project by finding credible and/or scholarly sources. For information about what counts as “scholarly,” view the NAU Online Library Tutorial “Scholarly vs. Popular.”
You will then apply the evidence-based practices you discovered to make changes. By using a Likert Survey, you will track your progress in a run chart. (Both the survey and run chart are provided below.) You will learn how to apply an improvement model called the Plan, Do, Study, Act Model (see Chapter 5).
