Abstract
BackgroundA gap was identified related to students’ use of quality improvement (QI) methodologies in their final project, so a curricular change was made to incorporate a health care QI methods course in the curriculum. MethodsWe compared the use of SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) aims and QI evaluation methodologies in doctor of nursing practice (DNP) project proposals in 2 cohorts before and after the curriculum change. ResultsA total of 88 DNP proposals were evaluated. ConclusionIncluding a QI course increased the use of SMART aims but did not influence the use of QI methodologies. Future interventions will target faculty development related to QI.
