- Title. Please give your best practice a name.
- Background. Describe the problem at the facility or department before the best practice was developed or identified.
- Objectives. What did the facility or department wish to achieve?
- Steps. Describe the actions that, together, add up to the best practice.
- Results. What problem has the best practice solved or what opportunity has it opened?
- Impact. What has been the overall impact of the best practice on patient care, operational efficiency, staffing, managing costs or any combination of these?
Deadline for submissions is May 4.
