Methodologies for Improving Health Outcomes focuses on the knowledge and skills about methodologies frequently used to conduct Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) projects, specifically, quality improvement, program evaluation, surveillance, and N of 1. The five-part series includes a one-hour Introduction module to set the stage for discussion of the four methodologies. One-hour modules on the four methodologies follow, which cover essential content along with application in a published project. The information will be useful for nurses advising DNP students and collaborating with DNP graduates as well as advanced practice nurses who want to expand their skill set to participate in and/or lead efforts to improve health outcomes.
