IT 328 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Your Role and the Triple Constraint
Overview: In Milestone One, you began your progress toward successful completion of your final project, the risk analysis and mitigation memo. You will now
continue this preparatory work in Milestone Two by focusing on a technical role. You will consider how the tasks assigned to the role fit into an integrated
schedule found in a Gantt chart. You will then work with the triple constraint, showing how changes to it may impact the project, while proposing a new project
element that will enhance user experience with the student degree progress tool. It is important to note that this milestone addresses Section I, Parts C and D of
your final project. For purposes of this activity, these items have been further broken down than they are in the final version of your project; this will help guide
you through all the aspects of this point in your learning experience.
As you are beginning to see, working within project budgets and staying on schedule typically requires a team effort, as work tasks must be completed efficiently
and often in the correct order for the project to stay on track. Additions to the p ...

RED ZUMA PROJECT MEMO
1. When is the project estimated to be completed? How long will the project take?
The project is estimated to be completed on 1/11/16. The project will take 260 working days.
2. What is the critical path for the project?
The critical path is shown in red on the Gantt chart below. The tasks in the critical path are 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.7, 1.8, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.14, 1.15, & 1.16.
3. Which activity has the greatest amount of slack?
The activity has the greatest amount of slack is task 1.5 Detailed Marketing Plan with a total of 179 days of slack.
4. How sensitive is this network?
The project is not sensitive because the activities that are not on the critical paths have a lot of slack and there is only one critical path.
5. Identify two sensible milestones and explain your choices.
Build Prototypes is most important milestones because based on that then worker know what to build.
Install Production Equipment is also important milestones because if they install something that is not supposed to be installed then project gets delay and it will be over budget.

PART 2A MEMO
1. Which if any of the resources are over allocated?
Marketing Specialist, Design Engineer and Industrial Engineer.
2. Assume that the project is time constrained and try to resolve any over allocation problems by leveling within slack. What happens?
When I leveled the slack it removed the over allocation off of the Detailed Marking Plan, but it did not resolve all over allocations. It also reduced the number of slack days on the Manufacturing study by 10 days to 0 days. It also reduced the 179 days of slack on the Details Marketing Plan to 134 days. The Manufacturing Process went from 55 days to 10 days and the Lab Test Prototypes went from 5 to 0 days. The Order Components task did not change and stayed at 27 days of slack.
3. What is the impact of leveling within slack on the sensitivity of the network?
(Include a Gantt chart with the schedule table after leveling within slack).
The Red Zuma project schedule changed with the leveling because it added in multiple paths as well as reducing the overall slack days.

4. Assume that the project is resource constrained and no additional personnel are available. How long will the project take given the resources assigned? (Hint: Undo leveling performed in Part A before answering this question.)
With no additional personnel added, the project timeline will need to increase to 310 days with a new finish date of 03/21/2016.
5. How does the new duration compare with the estimated completion date generated.

PROJECT RETROSPECTIVES: EVALUATING PROJECT SUCCESS, FAILURE, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. R. Ryan Nelson
Module 4 Technology Project ProposalSubmit the complete.docx
Module 4: Technology Project Proposal
Submit the completed assignment by 11:59 PM, Sunday of Module 4.
Overview
A fundamental aspect of nursing informatics is project implementations based on technology for patient care problems. The American Nurses Association (ANA) Scope and Standards of Nursing Informatics Practice requires the Nurse Informaticist to propose, implement, and evaluate technological advances for quality patient care. The Quality and Safety Education for Nursing’s (QSEN) pre-licensure Informatics competencies relate to how informatics supports safe, quality patient care through the following:
· Value nurses’ involvement in design, selection, implementation, and evaluation of information technologies to support patient care
· Describe examples of how technology and information management are related to the quality and safety of patient care
· Apply technology and information management tools to support safe processes of care
For this assignment, you will develop a proposal for a new technology that is currently not being used in your area of nursing practice. Keep in mind that technology has some form of electronic component to it for this paper.
Starting with the need, identify why the need exists for the new technology. What data is collected that tells you a problem exists? How will this technology answer the problem? Provide an analysis of the current situation and potential opportunity for improving patient care. With any new technology project, there must be stakeholder identification, an identification of quality indicators, projected benefits, consideration for training, and evaluation of outcomes.
Write a 6-10 page formal APA paper that describes the new technology following the directions below. This does not include title page and references. The 6-10 range allows you to expand or contract your paper and gives you some leeway on the total number of pages.
The purpose of this assignment is to encourage a depth and breadth of understanding about new technology and the impact on patient care. This assignment allows insight into the many facets of bringing about change from inception to evaluation.
This assignment is 20 points, or 20% of your final grade.
Directions
1. The Technology Proposal Project is a formal paper so plan accordingly. Use section headers (Background of Problem, Technology, Quality, Stakeholders, Evaluation and Conclusion). Please keep in mind that the following is to be used as a guide. You still need to demonstrate original and critical thinking on the topics.
NUR 451 Nursing Informatics
1
2. Provide a background on the new technology. This should include one to two pages that provides a general understanding of the problem, in a global sense, that the proposed technology could address. Include:
a. Context for the problem. Consider the following questions when writing this section: What is the problem for health care? How do you know it is a problem? What data is currently collected ...
Buffer sizing methodsCOLLAPSETop of FormProject buffers are .docx
Buffer sizing methods
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
Project buffers are used to provide cushion for the project and the individual task that make up the project. The buffers provide extra time, so the project can remain on schedule even with minor delays. CCPM uses four different methods for working with buffers. The four methods are 50% of the difference, square off the sum of the squares, bias plus SSQ, Monte Carlo analysis (Leach, 2014). Each method has strengths and weaknesses, but when used properly they can be beneficial to a project.
The first method or 50% of the difference estimates buffers by calculating the difference between low-risk and the average task and dividing that in half. This is a simple method, but sometimes causes buffers to be too large. The second method or square of the sum of the squares also uses the difference between low-risk and the mean, but it uses the square root of the difference squared. This method takes into account unexpected variation, but can create undersized buffer. The third method or bias plus SSQ combine the first two methods. The fourth and final method or Monte Carlo analysis is the most complicated, but encompasses many of the other advantages of the previous method (Leach, 2014).
Each method has its advantages, but I would suggest using method 3, bias plus SSQ. This method provides a simple platform that offers a high level of control over accuracy.

Less is more...
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
Class,
The “less is more” more approach is interesting to me because I have grown up in a military culture where if it is not on paper then it won’t happen or it didn’t happen. Leach did discuss where some project managers are very proud of having very high number of tasks associated with the project because they have “thought of everything”. However, as a project manager you are not as worried with the individual tasks that it takes to complete the work packages and the overarching project as you are with big muscle movements and milestones being accomplished on time and budget. Additionally, as a project manager you have a vast amount of breadth, but typically very little depth in the various specialties that are required to accomplish the project. Therefore, it is not feasible nor necessary for a project plan to identify every single task that will be accomplished. The project manager should allow is section managers/leads run their part of the project the way they see fit because they have a better handle on their resources and what needs to be accomplished. I would suggest that project managers focus on the big moving parts and go to the individual section leads to determine the time, budget, resources, and project flow and use that large scale information as the skeleton for their project plan. Also, when you plan out every single task, if something ...
Process Improvement Plan For this, your penultimate assignment .docx
Process Improvement Plan:
For this, your penultimate assignment for this class, you’ll be putting together a process improvement plan. There’s nothing tricky about this assignment; it is nothing more or less than what its name suggests. You’ll just pick a process at use in an organization with which you’re familiar and explain how it can be improved.
There’s a document in Files with the subtitle ‘process improvement plan’ that I recommend you download and read through, since many parts of this assignment were taken from this template. Although a formal process improvement plan includes an assessment of the change after it’s been implemented, we’re going to forgo that step here. Instead, we’re going to focus on writing a rationale for the plan, developing and implementing the plan, and evaluating the plan.
The paper will be broken into five parts/sections. What follows here are the assignment guidelines, and the point value of each section:
General Guidelines:
· Label each area using the five headings included in the grading rubric.
· Use organizational charts, tables, and bulleted lists where appropriate (make sure that you label these items)
· Check for spelling and grammar errors. Two points will be taken off for each error.
· Use MS Word or save your document as a rich text file, so that formatting is retained.
· Include page numbers (this part of the project will generally be between 5-7 pages in length)
· Include a title page
· Upload your completed project into the appropriate area in Week 13.
Section 1: Introduction
Give us a brief overview of the organization that you are profiling, and explain the process that you intend to improve.
Section 2: Rationale for Change
This section is comprised of two parts, labeled below as ‘a’ and ‘b’.
a) Explain how the process you are analyzing satisfies the following criteria:
· The process can be defined. That is, we can explain in ‘plain English’ what the process is. Walk the reader through each step of the process as it’s currently conducted.
· The process occurs frequently within the organization.
· The problems with the current process are fairly well-known and obvious (HINT: It will likely be helpful here to provide examples of instances where the current process has broken down or where its inefficiency has been exposed).
· Stakeholders will appreciate improvements to this process.
· We can make the needed changes to this process with little or no outside help.
b) Additionally, provide a flowchart of the current process. Be sure to include all steps.
Section 3: Process Design and Implementation
This section is comprised of three parts, labeled ‘a’ , ‘b’ and ‘c’ below.
a) Answer the following questions. Be sure your answers are complete.
· What steps in the process will be changed?
· What are the risks associated with this change?
· What are the costs?
· What workers will be affected by this change? Discuss both those workers who will be directly affected, and those that will be indirectl ...

Weekly tasks or assignments (Individual or Group Projects) will be due by Monday and late submissions will be assigned a late penalty in accordance with the late penalty policy found in the syllabus. NOTE: All submission posting times are based on midnight Central Time.
Information Technology Problem Analysis
This course is comprised of a series of Individual Project assignments that will contribute to a Key Assignment submission at the end of the course. Each week, you will complete a part of an information technology (IT) project or technical research document designed to solve an information technology problem. You will select a project or research topic, and apply research and knowledge gained from prior courses to the completion of the associated report according to the instructions for each week.
You will select a project as the topic for the analysis that you will execute and document in this course. The project should represent an IT problem that you will solve through research and application of knowledge and skills gained in the courses taken in your program of study. This is the course Key Assignment that you will make contributions to each week.
Project Selection:
The first step will be to select a project as the target for your Information Technology Problem Analysis document. This project will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:
Nontrivial: The project should be nontrivial and require research as part of the solution. The project should be large enough to allow reasonable exercise of the technology research process.
Scope: The project scope should be appropriate for the 5-week class duration.
Domain Knowledge: You should be familiar with the problem domain to allow focus on the project tasks without significant time required for domain education.
Accessibility: You should have good access to the people and other information related to the project because this will be an important part of the process.
Select a project that fits these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.
Assignment Description:
For the assignments in this course, you will be developing a comprehensive Information Technology Problem Analysis document that identifies an IT problem and works through a formal research and analysis method to provide a proposed solution to the problem. Your first task in this process will be to select a project to use as the basis of your research and analysis for each of the assignments in the course. You will also create the shell document for the final project deliverable that you will be working on during each unit. As you proceed through each project phase, yo ...

RED ZUMA PROJECT MEMO
1. When is the project estimated to be completed? How long will the project take?
The project is estimated to be completed on 1/11/16. The project will take 260 working days.
2. What is the critical path for the project?
The critical path is shown in red on the Gantt chart below. The tasks in the critical path are 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.7, 1.8, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.14, 1.15, & 1.16.
3. Which activity has the greatest amount of slack?
The activity has the greatest amount of slack is task 1.5 Detailed Marketing Plan with a total of 179 days of slack.
4. How sensitive is this network?
The project is not sensitive because the activities that are not on the critical paths have a lot of slack and there is only one critical path.
5. Identify two sensible milestones and explain your choices.
Build Prototypes is most important milestones because based on that then worker know what to build.
Install Production Equipment is also important milestones because if they install something that is not supposed to be installed then project gets delay and it will be over budget.

PART 2A MEMO
1. Which if any of the resources are over allocated?
Marketing Specialist, Design Engineer and Industrial Engineer.
2. Assume that the project is time constrained and try to resolve any over allocation problems by leveling within slack. What happens?
When I leveled the slack it removed the over allocation off of the Detailed Marking Plan, but it did not resolve all over allocations. It also reduced the number of slack days on the Manufacturing study by 10 days to 0 days. It also reduced the 179 days of slack on the Details Marketing Plan to 134 days. The Manufacturing Process went from 55 days to 10 days and the Lab Test Prototypes went from 5 to 0 days. The Order Components task did not change and stayed at 27 days of slack.
3. What is the impact of leveling within slack on the sensitivity of the network?
(Include a Gantt chart with the schedule table after leveling within slack).
The Red Zuma project schedule changed with the leveling because it added in multiple paths as well as reducing the overall slack days.

4. Assume that the project is resource constrained and no additional personnel are available. How long will the project take given the resources assigned? (Hint: Undo leveling performed in Part A before answering this question.)
With no additional personnel added, the project timeline will need to increase to 310 days with a new finish date of 03/21/2016.
5. How does the new duration compare with the estimated completion date generated.

Module 4 Technology Project ProposalSubmit the complete.docx
Module 4: Technology Project Proposal
Submit the completed assignment by 11:59 PM, Sunday of Module 4.
Overview
A fundamental aspect of nursing informatics is project implementations based on technology for patient care problems. The American Nurses Association (ANA) Scope and Standards of Nursing Informatics Practice requires the Nurse Informaticist to propose, implement, and evaluate technological advances for quality patient care. The Quality and Safety Education for Nursing’s (QSEN) pre-licensure Informatics competencies relate to how informatics supports safe, quality patient care through the following:
· Value nurses’ involvement in design, selection, implementation, and evaluation of information technologies to support patient care
· Describe examples of how technology and information management are related to the quality and safety of patient care
· Apply technology and information management tools to support safe processes of care
For this assignment, you will develop a proposal for a new technology that is currently not being used in your area of nursing practice. Keep in mind that technology has some form of electronic component to it for this paper.
Starting with the need, identify why the need exists for the new technology. What data is collected that tells you a problem exists? How will this technology answer the problem? Provide an analysis of the current situation and potential opportunity for improving patient care. With any new technology project, there must be stakeholder identification, an identification of quality indicators, projected benefits, consideration for training, and evaluation of outcomes.
Write a 6-10 page formal APA paper that describes the new technology following the directions below. This does not include title page and references. The 6-10 range allows you to expand or contract your paper and gives you some leeway on the total number of pages.
The purpose of this assignment is to encourage a depth and breadth of understanding about new technology and the impact on patient care. This assignment allows insight into the many facets of bringing about change from inception to evaluation.
This assignment is 20 points, or 20% of your final grade.
Directions
1. The Technology Proposal Project is a formal paper so plan accordingly. Use section headers (Background of Problem, Technology, Quality, Stakeholders, Evaluation and Conclusion). Please keep in mind that the following is to be used as a guide. You still need to demonstrate original and critical thinking on the topics.
NUR 451 Nursing Informatics

2. Provide a background on the new technology. This should include one to two pages that provides a general understanding of the problem, in a global sense, that the proposed technology could address. Include:
a. Context for the problem. Consider the following questions when writing this section: What is the problem for health care? How do you know it is a problem? What data is currently collected ...
Buffer sizing methodsCOLLAPSETop of FormProject buffers are .docx
Buffer sizing methods
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
Project buffers are used to provide cushion for the project and the individual task that make up the project. The buffers provide extra time, so the project can remain on schedule even with minor delays. CCPM uses four different methods for working with buffers. The four methods are 50% of the difference, square off the sum of the squares, bias plus SSQ, Monte Carlo analysis (Leach, 2014). Each method has strengths and weaknesses, but when used properly they can be beneficial to a project.
The first method or 50% of the difference estimates buffers by calculating the difference between low-risk and the average task and dividing that in half. This is a simple method, but sometimes causes buffers to be too large. The second method or square of the sum of the squares also uses the difference between low-risk and the mean, but it uses the square root of the difference squared. This method takes into account unexpected variation, but can create undersized buffer. The third method or bias plus SSQ combine the first two methods. The fourth and final method or Monte Carlo analysis is the most complicated, but encompasses many of the other advantages of the previous method (Leach, 2014).
Each method has its advantages, but I would suggest using method 3, bias plus SSQ. This method provides a simple platform that offers a high level of control over accuracy.

Less is more...
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
Class,
The “less is more” more approach is interesting to me because I have grown up in a military culture where if it is not on paper then it won’t happen or it didn’t happen. Leach did discuss where some project managers are very proud of having very high number of tasks associated with the project because they have “thought of everything”. However, as a project manager you are not as worried with the individual tasks that it takes to complete the work packages and the overarching project as you are with big muscle movements and milestones being accomplished on time and budget. Additionally, as a project manager you have a vast amount of breadth, but typically very little depth in the various specialties that are required to accomplish the project. Therefore, it is not feasible nor necessary for a project plan to identify every single task that will be accomplished. The project manager should allow is section managers/leads run their part of the project the way they see fit because they have a better handle on their resources and what needs to be accomplished. I would suggest that project managers focus on the big moving parts and go to the individual section leads to determine the time, budget, resources, and project flow and use that large scale information as the skeleton for their project plan. Also, when you plan out every single task, if something ...
Process Improvement Plan For this, your penultimate assignment .docx
Process Improvement Plan:
For this, your penultimate assignment for this class, you’ll be putting together a process improvement plan. There’s nothing tricky about this assignment; it is nothing more or less than what its name suggests. You’ll just pick a process at use in an organization with which you’re familiar and explain how it can be improved.
There’s a document in Files with the subtitle ‘process improvement plan’ that I recommend you download and read through, since many parts of this assignment were taken from this template. Although a formal process improvement plan includes an assessment of the change after it’s been implemented, we’re going to forgo that step here. Instead, we’re going to focus on writing a rationale for the plan, developing and implementing the plan, and evaluating the plan.
The paper will be broken into five parts/sections. What follows here are the assignment guidelines, and the point value of each section:
General Guidelines:
· Label each area using the five headings included in the grading rubric.
· Use organizational charts, tables, and bulleted lists where appropriate (make sure that you label these items)
· Check for spelling and grammar errors. Two points will be taken off for each error.
· Use MS Word or save your document as a rich text file, so that formatting is retained.
· Include page numbers (this part of the project will generally be between 5-7 pages in length)
· Include a title page
· Upload your completed project into the appropriate area in Week 13.
Section 1: Introduction
Give us a brief overview of the organization that you are profiling, and explain the process that you intend to improve.
Section 2: Rationale for Change
This section is comprised of two parts, labeled below as ‘a’ and ‘b’.
a) Explain how the process you are analyzing satisfies the following criteria:
· The process can be defined. That is, we can explain in ‘plain English’ what the process is. Walk the reader through each step of the process as it’s currently conducted.
· The process occurs frequently within the organization.
· The problems with the current process are fairly well-known and obvious (HINT: It will likely be helpful here to provide examples of instances where the current process has broken down or where its inefficiency has been exposed).
· Stakeholders will appreciate improvements to this process.
· We can make the needed changes to this process with little or no outside help.
b) Additionally, provide a flowchart of the current process. Be sure to include all steps.
Section 3: Process Design and Implementation
This section is comprised of three parts, labeled ‘a’ , ‘b’ and ‘c’ below.
a) Answer the following questions. Be sure your answers are complete.
· What steps in the process will be changed?
· What are the risks associated with this change?
· What are the costs?
· What workers will be affected by this change? Discuss both those workers who will be directly affected, and those that will be indirectl ...

Information Technology Problem Analysis
This course is comprised of a series of Individual Project assignments that will contribute to a Key Assignment submission at the end of the course. Each week, you will complete a part of an information technology (IT) project or technical research document designed to solve an information technology problem. You will select a project or research topic, and apply research and knowledge gained from prior courses to the completion of the associated report according to the instructions for each week.
You will select a project as the topic for the analysis that you will execute and document in this course. The project should represent an IT problem that you will solve through research and application of knowledge and skills gained in the courses taken in your program of study. This is the course Key Assignment that you will make contributions to each week.
Project Selection:
The first step will be to select a project as the target for your Information Technology Problem Analysis document. This project will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:
Nontrivial: The project should be nontrivial and require research as part of the solution. The project should be large enough to allow reasonable exercise of the technology research process.
Scope: The project scope should be appropriate for the 5-week class duration.
Domain Knowledge: You should be familiar with the problem domain to allow focus on the project tasks without significant time required for domain education.
Accessibility: You should have good access to the people and other information related to the project because this will be an important part of the process.
Select a project that fits these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.
Assignment Description:
For the assignments in this course, you will be developing a comprehensive Information Technology Problem Analysis document that identifies an IT problem and works through a formal research and analysis method to provide a proposed solution to the problem. Your first task in this process will be to select a project to use as the basis of your research and analysis for each of the assignments in the course. You will also create the shell document for the final project deliverable that you will be working on during each unit. As you proceed through each project phase, yo ...

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

How to Break the cycle of negative Thoughts
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

How to Write the “Specific Aims” Section - 2023
- 1. How to write the "Specific Aims" section of a grant application Tannaz Moin, MD, MBA, MSHS UCLA CTSI R Workshop November 2, 2023 Special thanks to Drs. Catherine Sarkisian and O. Kenrik Duru
- 2. Specific Aims • This is arguably the most important section of your application • WRITE EARLY AND CIRCULATE • This section must include everything that is important and exciting about your project – but without a lot of detail.
- 3. One Page Document All Reviewers Will Read • Format can vary but suggest: 1. Intro paragraph: capture attention (HOOK/GAP/Critical Need) 2. 2nd paragraph: logical next step = proposed solution 3. Enumerated Aims 4. Final Summary Paragraph • Style: Non-technical. No figures allowed. • Write this section for ALL study section members
- 4. 1st Paragraph: Capture Attention Hook/GAP/Critical Need (Setup Logical Next Step= Your Proposed Solution) • First 1-2 sentences = HOOK • What this proposal is about/why important • Reference NIH/NAM reports • Emphasize impact (how many millions effected etc.) • What is known (~3-5 sentences) CONCISE • Just enough to educate reviewer • GAP in knowledge that your research will fill • Final sentence: CRITICAL NEED for your study • Need for hypothesis-driven knowledge/technique/treatment you will develop • “addresses an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field” (review criteria for significance) • Should set up logical next step=your proposed solution to advance the field
- 5. Hook GAP Critical Need Example There is strong consensus . . that routine pre-op testing for cataract surgery is inappropriate.1-4 . . .the American Academy of Ophthalmology even named reducing routine pre-op testing for cataract surgery as their #1 issue . . . . .5 (HOOK) Yet despite these widely endorsed evidence-based recommendations, most seniors undergoing cataract surgery still receive unnecessary blood testing . . . .6 (GAP) 7 . . . widespread reduction. . would save billions of dollars, reduce exposure to unnecessary and potentially harmful tests, and allow millions of seniors to spend more time enjoying life rather than wasting their time receiving inappropriate health care (CRITICAL NEED)
- 6. 2nd Paragraph: Logical Next Step = Proposed Solution/ Move into Aims Your team’s path towards this project • Can mention prelim studies (do not need too much detail) • Show that your team has the expertise to fill that critical gap you identified in first paragraph • Include: • Hypothesis and Rationale • Proposal objectives • Team’s qualifications (if possible)
- 7. 2nd Paragraph Example: Logical Next Step= Proposed Solution/Transition to Aims We hypothesize that an .. . . intervention . . will dramatically reduce pre-op testing for cataract surgery . . . . (LOGICAL NEXT STEP=Proposed Solution) We propose to test this hypothesis by conducting a pragmatic randomized trial, implementing our intervention at . . . (Move into Aims)
- 8. Enumerated Aims • Keep the number of aims reasonable (3-5) • Each Aim should consist of one sentence: be concise and concrete; clarity is the goal. • Matter of style whether to state specific hypotheses for each Aim here • Each Aim should: • Describe the experimental approach • Be clear how tests hypotheses • Have a realistic time frame • Have a definitive outcome • Not be absolutely dependent on the success of another Aim
- 9. Our Specific Aims are: 1. Integrate a 2-pronged behavioral economics intervention into the UCLA Health EHR. The intervention will include two types of behavioral nudges to promote the desired reduction in low value care: • Nudge #1: (3 lines of text) • Nudge #2: (3 lines of text) 2. Randomize cataract surgery patients over a one-year period to one of 4 types of pre-operative visits (. . . ) and measure and compare the efficacy of each intervention using a 2x2 factorial design. Outcomes will be measured 12-months after the intervention start including: • Primary outcome = (describe with detail) • Secondary = patient, physician, and system-level outcomes • Patients: (list a few) • Physicians (list a few) • System: (list a few)
- 10. Final “Paragraph”: Few sentences to get reviewer excited to read your proposal If Aims are an hourglass (wide = general/big pic, narrow = details), this is the “broad base” that supports your proposal • Innovation: what this adds that is NEW • Outcomes: if you have not stated in Aims • Impact/PAYOFF: how this is going to help those that you mentioned in the first paragraph
- 11. Final Paragraph Example (Build Excitement) Reducing patient exposure to unnecessary care is central to improving patient outcomes and value. . . Because of the close partnership between our UCLA Informatics co- Investigators and the EHR vendor, the low-cost intervention that we propose to implement and test would be easily available to all Epic-based health systems, with potential to dramatically reduce inappropriate pre-op testing across the nation.
