Note: You must have completed and passed the performance assessments: Leading with Personal Mastery IOM1 Tasks 1 and 2 prior to beginning this performance assessment.
After your first course, the remaining specialty courses through your capstone will have a summative assessment that consists of an authentic performance assessment that scaffolds the tasks of the healthcare improvement project (HIP) through the project management lifecycle phases of project initiation, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Each performance assessment will focus on aspects of the proposal you will develop for a healthcare improvement project using a real-world approach to improving healthcare. Each phase will be described in different sections of a healthcare improvement project (HIP) paper.
This task is focused on the knowledge you gained and the deliverables you completed to initiate the proposed HIP using information from a former or current organization. You will describe the collaborative process used to complete the business case analysis by determining the need, feasibility, and organizational readiness for your HIP. As the nursing leader developing the business case analysis in this initiation phase, your end goal is to justify the project.
This task requires the submission of your entire HIP paper template, including the following section(s) of your HIP paper which you will be developing in this performance assessment:
While you must submit your entire paper, you will only be graded on the project initiation section and related appendices. The following sections of the HIP paper template should be completed and submitted as appendices to your HIP paper:
During your clinical practice experience (CPE), you will have an opportunity to identify project stakeholders (e.g., subject matter experts, colleagues from a former or current organization, faculty, and other nursing professionals) who have agreed to collaborate with you during this phase of your project. You will consult with appropriate stakeholders to complete and submit the “Impact Analysis Template” and “SWOT Analysis Template.” These deliverables will be evaluated in your CPE for completion, not quality. When you submit these deliverables as appendices with your HIP paper in this task, they will be evaluated for content and quality of completion, so please check your work to make sure it meets the requirements for your HIP paper. CPE provides you an opportunity to practice and improve these items before including them in your Task 1 of the performance assessment.

No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly.
