Discussion 1

**Post** a scholarly response to the following criteria:

· Explain the process and resources a DNP-prepared nurse might use to identify a quality improvement gap in nursing practice in a selected healthcare organization.

· Describe a potential or actual nursing practice gap in a selected healthcare organization.

· Select and review two quality improvement methods or tools to use for this quality improvement initiative.

· Explain why these tools are appropriate for use for the initiative to address the gap in practice.

· Describe the strengths and limitations of the selected tools.

Discussion 2

· Review the different types of observational study designs: ecologic, cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort.

· Carefully examine the characteristics, strengths, and limitations of each design.

· Consider when it is appropriate to use each of the observational study designs.

· Consider how using observational study designs can lead to improvements in population health.

· Review the two articles below with a critical eye toward the researchers’ use of study design and their selected methods.
