What forms, if any, might be used for recording purposes during the pilot change process. Describe.
What resources are available to staff (include yourself) during the change pilot?
Will there be meetings of certain stakeholders throughout the trial? If so, who and when will they meet?
Star Point 5: (Assessment)
How will you report the outcomes of the trial?
What would be the next steps for the use of the change process information?
My measurable Outcome for my PICOT question is: Identify better dressing to promote healing
My change process Timeframe for my PICOT question is: 2 Months
