• Remember- PICOT should focus on something you as an NP can implement and should focus on measurable health outcomes. Full-practice authority, burnout, satisfaction surveys, and anything that would require a policy or law change should not be used. Please view short video above to get a clearer understanding of requirements.
• Using the area of interest identified in the Week 1 discussion, address the following:

  • Identify your practice question, being sure to include the following information and describe each part of the PICOT question in detail:

    • Outcome
    • Time
